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The room was very clean,if a little outdated, but the noise was incredible!You could hear every conversation in the rooms on either side of us.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 The sinks and tubs are very outdated, I am used to staying at hotels that have hair dryers, countertops in the bathrooms and microwaves that are at no cost.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.

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 : "Overpriced for a bare essentials hotel" view full review

Sep 19, 2006 : AtlanticCity.com customer

Expecting the rate for a Saturday night to be higher, we were shocked at the $240 or so we spent on this location. I would have preferred to pay less and be a few miles out of town or spend the extra $100 and be in a large casino. The room was clean but outdated. There was NO parking available in the garage. We had to park along side a wall and pray our new car was not damaged overnight. There were no amenities - pool, jacuzzi or anything else. The only good part was the front desk staff which was quick and efficient. We found out that the same room is $49 mid week. That is still pushing it price-wise. We were quite dissapointed.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Never again will I stay here" view full review

Sep 7, 2006 : AtlanticCity.com customer

The only way I would stay at this location again is if I had no other place to stay. The carpets were extremely old and smelly. For the rate that we paid they should really invest in updating the hotel. Every thing is outdated. The door to the room would not close properly and the elevator did not look safe. The only good thing about this location is that it is right off the boardwalk so we were able to access the casinos and restaurants easily. The front desk person was very nice and helped us as soon as we arrived.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Return To AC After Many Years" view full review

Aug 23, 2006 : Alberta Cole

The hotel is Old and in need of Repair. The hotel smelled of Mildew and anything metal was Rusted. I've never stayed at a hotel where you could actually see the Dirt on the Curtains when you walked into the hotel. The carpet inside of the Elevator is Filthy and Dirty. It actually Smelled when you walked into it. The Pool area looked Dirty and Unsafe. I would not Eat at the Restaurant because of the way the hotel Smelled and Looked. I would not stay at this hotel again or tell anyone about it. This hotel would only be Enjoyed by Young Adults that are in Atlantic City to Drink and Party. They would be the only people who would'nt care about the Horrible condition the hotel is in. The hotel is really worth Remodeling. The location to the Beach and Boardwalk is Great. The only other Good thing about the hotel is the Staff.The Staff was very Friendly and Helpful. The Staff deserves a Raise for having to work in such Horrible conditions.This place really needs alot of work. This would be a Great Vacation spot if only it was'nt so Run Down and Ditry!

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

Aug 19, 2006 : AtlanticCity.com customer

My main complaint was that I got two rooms for a group of friends staying for two nights. They would not give me adjoining rooms (told me there were none available) however the couple next door to one of our rooms had the adjoining room to that room and they checked in after us. Fortunately that couple was nice enough to switch with us, although the guy at the front desk was really weird about it. Parking was free and easy and nearby (except they share with the Holiday Inn (and the parking elevator takes your straight to the Holiday Inn Lobby, so you have to walk outside to get to the HOJO lobby)). The elevators were super small, so I would not recommend that the disabled stay there. The pool was ugly and surrounded by buildings but we just walked over and crashed the Tropicana pool on the 6th floor with no problem. No continental breakfast, though that would have been nice. The rooms were very outdated but also very clean. I can say that we could possibly stay there again, it was real close to the Trpoicana and Trump and served out purpose (which was we just needed somewhere to sleep). It was also the cheapest hotel on the boardwalk (and atlanticcity.com had the best rate anywhere we could find). Next time I might try staying at the Holiday Inn next door, just because of the whole parking confusion, but only if it as just as inexpensive.

Howard Johnson Beach Block : "Noise in the Streets" view full review

Feb 14, 2006 : AtlanticCity.com customer

The location had good access to the Boardwalk and Casinos on the Ocean. The carpet and furniture were old and threadbare. The nights I stayed there, late at night drunken loud shouting from across the street kept me awake. The good news was that the food we had in the restuarant was excellent and inexpensive. The elevators were slow and not very clean. It was easier to use the steps to the room on the second floor. The people at the hotel were friendly but it was evident that this hotel needed a renovation. It appeared that part of the business and catering area was being renovated. This hotel was not expensive considering it was next to the boardwalk, but you get what you pay for.

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.
