“Experiance during stay in Howard Johnson”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

I recently stayed in this hotel and would like to share my experiances. The room service is OK, Hotel facilities are pathitic, Food is worst. Value for your money is spent is not justified. Too much of noise due to the night club located in the same building.

Room Tip: Do not visit this hotel if you are visiting along with a family. OK if you are alone and on a busine...

“good location but only for those who luv night life”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2011

people found this review helpful

I stayed here for two weeks for my business purpose. The hotel location is good and the rooms are large and spacious.
Its having around 5 to 6 bars. so at night the hotel was fully crowded with the people from outside to the bars ...
and also the music from the bars goes so loud punching sound throughout night till 2 am .and always the loud speaking voices of the people in front of the rooms who comes out of the bar at late night... which all is an utter disturbance to sleepp ... !!!
The food was only average .. the hotel is only recommended for the tourists who loves night life ... not for the family mode or buisness class !!

“Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2011

people found this review helpful

I used to stay in this hotel for 2 nights and liked it, as my stay was a free :P (courtesy to my friend)

Room was spacious with clean bathroom and city view was good. Food in the restaurant was finished (surprise) so i had to order and wait for some 30 minutes. Its quality was just below average

There were few bars (fillipino on 17th to hook a lady) and some English pub on the ground floor (for the same purpose). Room service was ok. Don't know about the breakfast as i missed it twice due to late woke up. Oh yes some construction work was on (adjucent to hotel) all the night, so couldn't slept well and finished as soon as my stay was over.

Has no parking, yet found front desk staff a bit polite and helpful.
Overall stay was an average

“Bad place to stay for business travellers”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2009

Bad place to stay. Rooms are cheap but the entire hotel smells of cigarette smoke . Poor airconditioning , impersonal staff and disturbance due to late night activity ( you can hear music thumping in your rooms) in the dance clubs which seem to be fronts for pick-up joints .No parking space .Could be avoided.

  • Liked — Cheap rooms
  • Disliked — Cigarette smoke smell in the air

“Great location – a less expensive hotel amongst the company of 5 star hotels”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2009

Great location – a less expensive hotel amongst the company of 5 star hotels in the area
Though the rooms in this hotel are very spacious and have a stunning view (if you have the corniche side view on higher floors), the service and hospitality, unfortunately, is very lacking. The food is less than average (though the restaurant manager deserves credit for making an effort and being hard working) and the café is to be avoided – smoke filled, with loud tv and creeky fridge and not too comfortable seating. I was woken up twice in the middle of the night – once by a random stranger who knocked on the door and realized he had the wrong room, 2nd time by this lady in the opposite room who was loud (who seemed to be living there on a long term) who had company in the middle of the night (???) and was returning from the hotel disco – which, you can hear the bass of till like 2 in the morning (I told the receptionist, who called the manager next day only to say we’ll look into it and move on).
I got a corporate rate at this hotel which, at the time, was less than a third of the surrounding 5 star hotels. I’d only stay at this hotel if it were half or less than the one its opposite. The location is great – same as Sheraton or Le Meridien.
