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.

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 : "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 : "Ok but never again" view full review

Feb 5, 2007 : AtlanticCity.com customer

This hotel was ok for someone on the go. I would not stay there again. It may have been clean but you could not tell because of the quality of the room. The carpet looked filthy. The bathroom could have been a little better quality as well. Also, cold showers were taken everyday. There is absolutely no water control whatsoever. It was great that it was just a block down from the Tropicana, but there was no view. We were staring at other peoples rooms. For it to be right at the boardwalk you had no view, we didn't even have a view of the beach.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Not a good value" view full review

Oct 24, 2006 : AtlanticCity.com customer

The hotel is not a good value. The air conditioner (heater) was not working correctly. I should open my window every day because always was hot, even turned off. I reported that problem, but no body fixed it. Also one day no body clean my room. At my second day I tried to make telephone calls but my telephone line was blocked; I asked to the front desk and they asked me again my credit cards information, due that they have lost the information, at the third day it happened the same. The hotel has a good location and good internet conection, but is too expensive due the bad service and bad conditions of the hotel; it looks old, dirty, carpets and ceiling blemished. Sorry for my bad English.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Smelly Hallway" view full review

Sep 27, 2006 : AtlanticCity.com customer

I requested a non smoking room and when I arrived they gave me a smoking room and floor. When I spoke with the front desk they told me everything was sold out. On top of that I had to deal with the smell of pot. Some of the people on my floor were smoking pot. And, the smell went into my room. The hotel overall did not meet my standards, I have stayed at other HJ's and the conditions have been better. The money I paid for it was not worth it. I have stayed at the Claridge, Flagship and others for the same amount and it has been worth my money. I will never stay at HJ's in AC anymore. Thank god for Jitney buses, the casino's are pretty far away.

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

Sep 20, 2006 : Kara Schlemmer

Requested a double bed room. Online said it was available but when we got there it wasnt. Which was fine because we were told we would receive a cot. Cot never came, called desk about 5 different times. Then went down there and was told we could not get a cot. Then they couldnt even give us blankets or an extra pillow and there were three of us. Instead they handed us towels and told us to fold it up as a pillow and use the towels as blankets. That didnt work out very well. We were more than nice when we asked for all this and we didnt even ask for the cot in the first place. The woman at the front desk told us she would give us one since we requested a room that they no longer had.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "My stay at Howard Johnsons" view full review

( 1 of 1 people found this review helpful)

Oct 1, 2007 : AtlanticCity.com customer

This hotel was fine. I liked the fact that it had a balcony outside of the room. It was clean. The bellhop was very friendly and when we called for a light bulb someone came right up to the room. I can't remember if there was a continental breakfast, but that would have been nice. I do remember the hallways being dark outside the room. I think that there were a few bulbs out. All in all, the hotel was ok.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Joan and Stephanie's weekend out" view full review

Sep 16, 2007 : AtlanticCity.com customer

I stayed at your hotel with my niece for a few days. We went there to go to the casinos and have fun. I had a good time but I feel there are some things that can be fixed. I feel the hotel needs to be "modernized". I feel that everything was "old fashioned", even the ride in the elevator was creepy. I also feel that there wasn't good access from parking to the lobby. I hope my reviews help.

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 : "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 : "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 : "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.
