Howard Johnson Beach Block : "I did not like this particular hotel... and would not be staying there again..." view full review

Feb 22, 2007 : AtlanticCity.com customer

I tried this hotel because a family friend said it was less expensive... well I will never go that way again... I would rather pay extra then expierence again. I do and did enjoy being in Atlantic City because its exciting... but when you are tired and want to feel safe and comfortable in your hotel room maybe the cost is not that important. I would suggest a full renovation for this Howard Johnsons... it's located in a nice spot off of the boardwalk and should be kept up to reflect the city's reputation. I would not refer this hotel to anyone until I see improvements...

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "beach life" view full review

Jun 2, 2007 : Mark Zimmerman

Ask me a question

Cheap rates very close to beach it was a nice change from the big casino hotels that i usaly stey at when i come to atlant city to visit the beach I also thought the free parking was a big plus most hotels charge you to park in the atlantic city area. I would recomend this hotel to couples I was dissapointed the pool was not usable because i like to go smimming i the pool when i'm on vacation but they are remodeling the pool so next time i will be able to go smimming.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Good enough to just sleep" view full review

Jun 12, 2007 : AtlanticCity.com customer

Ask me a question

This Hotel is nothing fancy. It was close to the casinos and reasonable enough for an overnight stay. We had a girl weekend and it was enough room for the three of us. It was clean too. It just needed a little TLC. The price was right. We didn't spend time in the room. We just slept there. If you are looking for a hotel to just sleep at, this is the one. Save your money for the slots and win lots of money!!

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Will not Return until remoldeling is complete." view full review

Jun 17, 2007 : AtlanticCity.com customer

Ask me a question

If I knew the hotel was being remodeled I would have never stayed here. The price was good. But it is in serious need of an upgrade. When I stay in the howard johnson in Dover Delaware on Dupont Highway, I feel safe and at home. The sinks and tubs are very outdated, I am used to staying at hotels that have hair dryers, countertops in the bathrooms and microwaves that are at no cost. And ones that do not smell. It smelled very bad.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Noisy room in Atlantic City!" view full review

Jun 22, 2007 : Kimberly Soulen

The room was very clean,if a little outdated, but the noise was incredible!You could hear every conversation in the rooms on either side of us. At night we had a bachelor party on one side & 4 teenage boys on the other playing football with the walls for the goal line. You add that to the traffic outside the window, and it made for 2 very sleepless nights. It's a good thing you can sleep on the beach!

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "HoJo Experience" view full review

Jun 28, 2007 : AtlanticCity.com customer

Hotel was OK. Stayed there because of price. Not real clean and was noisey. The lobby was alittle unorganized. Room was not ready until the afternoon. The overall hotel seemed rundown and in need of new furniture. The cleaning staff did a so-so job of cleaning. The room's curtains, bedspread, etc. were very old and damaged. The TV was OK. There was a coffee machine in the room that worked. The shower was not that good because of a poor shower head. Overall, not a real good hotel but inexpensive and convenient to boardwalk.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Very Dissatified" view full review

Jun 28, 2007 : Peter Moreno

Ask me a question

There was renovation on the same floor our room was located on, the room also had a very musty odor at all times even when the air conditioning was turned on. When booking they claimed great pool, the pool was also being renovated, but also had dirty and garbage inside.
If it weren't for these things it would have been a more enjoyable stay.
Although, the location of this hotel is perfect, because when I travel for business or pleasure I like to park and not have to move my car again until it is time to leave.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Leisure time" view full review

Jul 4, 2007 : AtlanticCity.com customer

Ask me a question

I stayed at this hotel because of the price, pool and location to the beach and boardwalk. Was very disappointed that the pool wasn't working and was advised in advance. Hope my next visit the pool will be working. Also the ice machine on the floor in which my room was did not work so I had to go to the third or fourth floor. I also thought that we would have a microwave and/or refrigerator in the room.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Got off to a bad start..." view full review

Jul 5, 2007 : Matthew Schlegel

I came in to check in and they said there was no reservation for me. I had the print out from the confirmation email I had gotten. They had problems and had to call ACC Central. After the wait, they said it was booked under my first name instead of my last name for some reason. Then, the pool was completely empty and the surrounding area was a real "eye sore"
I was also unhappy with the fact that you say it is on the boardwalk when clearly the holiday inn is between the Howard Johnson and the boardwalk. Lesson learned for me...

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "$$$$ Isn't always the way to go" view full review

Jul 9, 2007 : Edward Schwanke

Ask me a question

This hotel is very reasonable priced and the location cannot be better. The beach is easily accessible and most casinos are within walking distance. Although the hotel is old the rooms are sufficient in size for the average tourist. Cable TV is available with numerous station selections, as well as "pay per view movies". The hotel is not fancy but will provide the necessities required for families with children at an affordable price. Most families will spend their time either at the beach, on the boardwalk, or in the casinos so stay here and save your dollars for the fun items.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Cheap Getaway" view full review

Jul 13, 2007 : AtlanticCity.com customer

Had fun and quiet without casino. Great last minute getaway, would recommend for young adults looking for savings, wished the pool was open but was allowed to use Holiday Inn's next door. Convenient to all casinos and was a nice cheap room with a balcony. You can let fresh air in. Would stay there again and hope to go back real soon! Can't beat the price and convenient and parking was close by, no need to walk for miles like at some casinos!!!

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Howard Johnson in AC" view full review

Jul 30, 2007 : Harry Lu

The hotel was in a good location right on the boardwalk located next to the Tropicana. But the interior of the building and the pool was not very nice. Hall ways seem very small and the paint on the walls could be better just looks a little creepy. As for the pool there was no water in the pool maybe they were under construction. The rooms where not to bad. The price for this hotel was a little pricey. Overall I would recommend this hotel to anyone that just needs a place to sleep

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "rating on howard johnson beach block" view full review

Aug 3, 2007 : AtlanticCity.com customer

Ask me a question

This hotel was pretty descent. It was an older hotel which made it appear less nice. Overall I would rate this hotel a 3 out of 5. The price was great. The cleanliness could have been better, and I wish there was a more updated bathroom that had a counter and not just a sink. I don't know if it was the cleanliness or just the fact it was older, but it just seemed kind of sketchy. But, like I said, it could have been worse, and I might stay there again.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Under Construction" view full review

Aug 6, 2007 : AtlanticCity.com customer

The bathroom ceiling was leaking when we arrived. We called the front desk and the maintenance man came in looked at the leak and more than five hours later it was fixed. The carpet inside the room was stained, wet, and full of small pieces of concrete. I couldn't walk bare foot if I wanted to. The hallway was crowded by carts of paint supplies, tiles, and construction equipment. Thankfully the next day we were moved to another room for the remainder of our stay but overall I feel as though the hotel needs to be closed while it's being renovated because the overall appearance and service was poor. On a 1-10 scale it's definitely a 1 and it needs to be pulled from your list of recommendations.
