This hotel sucks i would not stay here if it was the last place on earth. PLEASE and i repeat PLEASE do not let the pictures or the name fool you. It is nothing like what is shown on the internet. There isn't any carpet in the entire place. The entire hotel reeks of water damage. When my wife and... more

I booked a one-week stay at this hotel only after reviewing their website therefore I was not 100% sure what I was getting. However, I must say that I enjoyed staying at this hotel. The room was very clean and the bathroom was in good shape. Their air conditioning system worked wonderfully. The hotel itself and the pool area are... more

My fiance and I came down to Miami from Wilmington DE for vacation and we stayed at this hotel. It was almost midnight when we got to the hotel so we were very tired. We were checked in by Jazmin who was very kind, courteous and attentive to our needs. She checked us in quickly and asked that we please... more

This hotel is the cheapest in the area. Considering that I don't see how anybody would have high expectations for this place... It's pretty old, but clean (I didn't see any bed bugs, but who knows!!). Big down side is that there was very little pressure in the pipes, so showering was tricky! However, the beach makes up for all... more

I traveled here in August of 2004 (I had my date of stay has 2006, because there was no 2004 option) with my family (mom, dad and sisters) while we were bringing my brother to college in the area. The hotel has a 50s style look on the inside which is cool. The rooms were pretty clean and were cleaned... more

Let me try to get some info in here that maybe is not in most reviews. I came in from Miami Intl, and went to the cruise port. $40 taxi ride from airport to the coast. The hotel has a little store in the lobby that sells water, pop, souvenirs, etc. There is a bar/lounge/club that plays live, one man... more

I just got back from Miami where I stayed 3 nights at Howard Johnson Dezerland with a friend. To be honest, the hotel is just ok. It is quite far away from South Beach, approx. 20 minutes by bus. My friend and I were in the South Beach area most of the time so a hotel closer to that area... more
