I've stayed in the Miami area quite a few times and other hotels along the east coast and I have never been so disappointed in a stay then I have been while at the Ho Jo. I can get over the fact that the hotel is outdated with its looks, but simple maintenance to keep it presentable would be nice.... More

We were booked into the Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel Dezerland Beach & Spa by our travel agent and stayed there for one night as we were cruising from Miami the next day. The position of the hotel is fantastic located directly on Miami beach with great ocean views if you can get a room on that side of the hotel... More

This is the first time I have had to waste my time reveiwing a hotel, however I have to warn other travellers to never go to this place. We had previously stayed at the Ho Jo in Ananheim & were very impressed with the sevice and the standards. This was a very different scenario. The staff at the front desk... More

I have never given a review for any hotel before, and believe me, I am well travelled, but obviously a very simple guest. But in this case, I just had to do give this review to warn folks. First, the hotel is no where near anything. Getting a cab is difficult, and the closest entertainment is $20 away. Second, the... More

The long haired Spanish speaking lady (in AMERICA) was rude, and didn't know anything that she was talking about. The lobby looked great but don't be fooled because the rooms look semi decent, until one of the outlets don't work completely because it's just detached from the wall. The air conditioning leaked and left a nice puddle in the morning... More

Booked bay view, however the windows were to high to view the bay. But what was terrible was the "own" noise of the hotel. We made a change but in the first room we got was like sitting on an aircraft engine.
