The worst place ever! The rooms were dirty, they smelled like they had just sprayed raid. No A/C and the lights in the room did not work!!. The maid did not do a very good job. The staff make you feel unwelcome, as if your bothering them (plus they don't even speak English). The food was average. The only good... more

Upon arrival to the hotel, we were pleased that it did not appear as run down as we had anticipated from the outside. As soon as we got inside of the room, we realized it needed lots of work. (Renovations are planned for this summer thanks to the Regina Club buying the property recently). The hotel is 20 years old... more

We spent one night at this hotel because we had one extra night in Puerto Vallarta that we hadn't made any arrangement for accommodations. By circuitous circumstances we booked one night stay there. We had a second floor room adjacent to the open-air restaurant. Well, the room was large but Spartan; the balcony opened to a nice pool-side view. The... more

Our one week stay at this hotel was far from what we expected from a Howard Johnson. The hotel is run down, dirty and musty. The furniture was old and dirty, as was the bathroom. Our room was so awful and noisy (beside the restaurant) that we requested to be moved. We got a room on the third floor (no... more

We happened upon this monstrosity via a time share scam. We went an listened to receive our "Free trip" and the company turned us over to a travel agency. We had to pay "taxes" on something to go and when we finally found out where it was we were staying, I came directly to TripAdvisor to see what the real... more

We booked this hotel through Nolitours. Even though we got a really good deal we seemed to have nothing but trouble with this establishment from the time of our arrival. After arriving at 1:30 a.m. on Sunday morning we were checked into a room with two twin beds, no hot water, no towels, no a/c, and were told that it... more

We just returned from a weeks stay in PV. Even though the Howard Johnson is a bit run down and in need of some work, the staff was absolutely awesome! It is rated 3 star on some websites but I would say definitely a two or two and a half star. The food was so so....you definitely won't starve but... more

After reading some great things that people have to say about this hotel, I realized that I should have written my thoughts a long time ago so people hear both sides of it. I stayed here for 5 days in December 2006. The room we stayed in was dark and dirty. All of our towels and linens were stained. Our... more

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights all inclusive and I was pleasantly surprised after all the bad reviews that we read. Yes, the rooms were average and we have stayed in nicer hotels but we got a super great all inclusive deal and I feel that it was worth the price. There were not too many people... more
