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 : "$$$$ 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 : "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Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Seriously Outdated but Comfy and Cheap" view full review

Feb 12, 2007 : AtlanticCity.com customer

This hotel is seriously outdated! I was born in the 70s and I recognized the color of the bathroom from one of my baby pictures. The bed was very comfy. The walk to the parking garage was annoying. The hotel should provide a walkway into the hotel like the neighboring hotel offers. There was always a wait for parking. If you have an S.U.V. spaces are really limited. The location of the hotel is great. Right on the boardwalk. The price was extremely affordable especially for Atlantic City. The hotel needs to be remodeled and updated. The elevators are also shaky, making you feel extremely uneasy. It was clean and the staff was very nice and helpful. The location is great.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Northern City" view full review

Feb 6, 2007 : Gloria Clarke

On February 3, 2007 I spent the night at this hotel. All through the night there were a lot of running,laughing, slamming of doors going on. I really did not get any sleep. There need to be improvements in that area. This is my second time staying at this hotel. The first time was much better. I noticed that there were some younger people this time, so maybe that could be one of the reason. Management need to inform all guests that they have to keep the noise down. Not because they might not be sleepy but other guests need their sleep.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "A close walk for a good price" view full review

Nov 27, 2006 : AtlanticCity.com customer

I stayed at the Best Western Hotel in Atlantic City. The reason we chose this hotel was because we decided very last minute take a weekend trip. We have stayed at the Tropicana numerous times and have really loved that Hotel. Since we waited to long to book our trip, the prices for the weekend were rather high. Therefore we decided to look for a hotel close enough to walk back to the Trop. The Best Western provided exactly that. The rooms were decent, the price was just right, the staff was friendly and knowledgable and willing to suggest many activities for us to participate in outside of the hotels. All in all I think this hotel worked out fantastically! You get what you pay for, Ok rooms, little atmosphere, no casino, but a close walk, and a good price!

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Content" view full review

Nov 6, 2006 : AtlanticCity.com customer

First off, I have to say the service was great. The front desk was friendly and very helpful. The location was good as well. It is right in the mix of things, not too far from all the action. The hotel was clean and definately affordable. It is perfect for a cost efficient trip to Atlantic City. Though not one of the huge, "luxery" casino hotels it definately serves it's purpose as respite between celebrating the many attractions of AC.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "MY STAY AT H.J." view full review

Sep 6, 2006 : RAMONA HALL

HOWARD JOHNSON'S, WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS PLACE? WELL FIRST OF ALL I EXPECTED A LITTLE MORE THEN WHAT I GOT AND I GUESS THT IS BECAUSE OF THE NAME. I CHOSE THIS PLACE BECAUSE OF THE PRICE. IT WAS ACTUALLY CHEAPER THAN WHAT MY PREVIOUS STAY AT MOTEL 8 COST FOR THE TIME. IT WAS ALSO ON THE BOARDWALK SO I WAS CLOSE TO THE CASINO'S. THE STAY HERE WAS NOT BAD BUT THIS WOULD NOT BE MY FIRST CHOICE FOR A MODERATELY PRICED HOTEL. I HAD TO PAY FIVE DOLLARS A DAY FOR THE USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR. I DIDN'T LIKE THAT TO MUCH.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "very good" view full review

Jul 21, 2006 : mr gilberto schmidt

was very nice hotel needs a little work like maybe ne elevators, and a couple of minor things location was good. staff was very helpful. dining was also very good we were planning to stay at another location but the hotel was in a great location for me with the beach and tropicana next door for my gambling needs. my family really enjoy the pool which we used everyday while we stay there. parking lot was also great park my car and didnt move it for my stay. its also was a nice crowd no trouble or problems with my stay. i would stay there again whae i get a chance. the terrace in the room was also great because i could relax and smoke a cigar with a nice view of the pool. rooms were comfortable the beds were good a not bumpy like some other hotels i have stay in. once again i had a very good time and my family enjoyed it very much looking foward to going back soon as i can. not much more i can say both its was a great stay for a great price and a great time with a great view

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "A nice place to swim" view full review

Jul 11, 2006 : Peter Sinnott

This hotel has an excellent outdoor pool which is on the ground floor and visible from most rooms above it. The pool is seasonal only has good maintenance and an attendant. Additional towels are available and there is an area with lounge chairs surrounding it. It is possible to get good lap swims here.
The hotel is aging but has daily maid service and the usual cable tv. There is also a connection provided for internet, which I successfully used.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Norm D" view full review

Jun 22, 2005 : AtlanticCity.com customer

Room appearance needs updated, I wondered how old the matterases are and how dirty they were! Staff was nice, parking a little inconvenient but ok, wish there was email of room rates sent instead of having to shop around looking for the best deal, also I wish they would offer casino incentives. The breakfast was good. I always check the hotel rates and compare them to other hotel casinos, with the gas bing so high we have been coming down on a bus deal since it was more affordable then driving down and spending the night and took advantage of the bus incentives.

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.
