Howard Johnson Downtown Mayaguez - Mayaguez

The hotel in general was nice. Staff was somewhat friendly depending on the time of day it was. Afternoon staff was very friendly, overnight staff was less friendly. Didn't see morning staff so I'm unsure of them. The room we stayed in was very small but clean. Had a smoke detector that needed battery replaced cause it beeped every 5 minutes!

Excellent Hotel with quality staff, who went out of their way to help. Arrived late on day before Good Friday (all of Puerto Rico is CLOSED on Good Friday). Staff helped find open restaurant, provided directions,sights to see. Could not have been more helpful. Planned to return again. A wonderful restaurant nearby, Siglo XX, stayed open to provide us […] with a great Puerto Rican dinner. Definitely going back there too Read more

Our stay was ok but they charge for the parking that is free as per the hotels.com offer. They say that is an error of hotel.com and charge anyway for the parking. Beyond the parking issue the stay was OK.

The room is okay if you are just going to spend the night or if you get a good deal. The deficiencies that I found were that the Internet (which was not wireless) did not work in the room, there was no shampoo or washcloths, and the room window was looking towards the hallway. Some positive things were that it was a beautiful old building located near […] the plaza in downtown Mayaguez. Read more

Very good location in town with close access to a number of shops and the town square. The parking was great, the staff was very friendly. The room was cool, clean and spacious. I would absolutely stay here again.

Vintage type hotel a plu, not too crazy about the unswept floors and only two towels which surprised me. When i used the iron i recieved a shock at my feet by the cord. i brought it to attention of the front desk clerk and he wasnt able to assist me although was appologetic. nice place, but those little things didnt make it worth the cost.

Centered in the heart of the town, this lovely hotel is highly recommended to stay at if you will be in the Mayaquez area. Perfect location, great staff, clean, nice bar/lobby area newly renovated, beautiful church across the street, and just overall satisfied. I was skeptical based on other reviews but my experience was great. STAY HERE you'll like […] it!! GOOD PRICES as well... Read more

Arrival-OK check-in was OK Parking - adecuate and convenient The hotel is run-down, the lobby is OK, but the rooms are NOT. The AC has an on/off switch so you cannot maneuver the temperature, the AC was filthy, I left the hotel w/allergy and sinus. Since the hotel is downtown the noise from the street filters into the rooms our room was next to an abandoned […] building which looked terrible the street was very noisy, horns, people partying late being very loud. Our towels were dirty thank God we took our own towels since we were going to the beach. Breakfast is acceptable. Too pricey for this "terrible experience". Needs a lot of work to get up to standards. Read more

Was I think it was over priced. The parking I thought was free. You park free at the lot but you have to pay the hotel to park. Theres a bar 2 blocks away and the band plays till 1:30 or 2 I know this cause in my room you could here it .The bakery across the street was the best I've ever been in the treats where great.

the breakfest lay out was not the best,you must have a better presentation & manu and you will have better respond in the future. Just for this i would not stay there again,sorry.

It was really uncomfortable! The room was really small and it wasn't clean at all. You can hear the noise of the cars when you are trying to sleep

Genuine Expedia guest review

All in all, I am happy with this hotel. Except for a room which had some mold I have no regrets. The room was changed though.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The lobby is also a wine and tapas bar, so it was lively and convenient. Live music on Friday and Saturday night. A serviceable breakfast in the morning, and excellent lattes for sale. The staff were very helpful. They were patient/appreciative of our attempts at Spanish, but could use English when necessary. The room was comfortable, but basic. Two […] bath towels and a bath mat--that's it. BYO washcloth. It was difficult to find restaurants in walking distance. Read more

My son wanted to spend his vacation here with the family, and ask me to make all the arrangements, and when I saw the picture of the hotel I just fell in love, All 3 rooms were very comfortable. All my grandchildren enjoy it also, The only complain is that the microwave were only for the penthouse, we found out the same day we got there, (we had bought […] frozen food for the kids) lol. Try out the bakery in the corner, Great food at great price, And entertainment for the kids were close by. All in all we enjoy it very much and are planning on going back. Read more

Very nice staff, clean rooms, great rates. The bathrooms are very modern with all the amenities you need. Breakfast is served and is top rate. The location is right downtown across from the 300 years old Cathedral and Columbus Square.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was very nice but there was no one there that had any insight as what to do or see and who to direct us . The resturant at the hotel was very limited for food choice and offered no native dishes. Breaskfast was very poor in quality and choices.

This was our second mini-vacation/getaway at HoJo Downtown Mayagüez and it has been the best yet. This time, we got a room on the third floor of the new building. It was a corner room with windows that overlooked the surrounding streets and allowed us to look far into the mountainside of the town. The amenities were the same as before, but the bathroom […] in this one was roomier and more modern than the one in the room we had stayed at before (located in the main/traditional building.) Front Desk, Housekeeping, Food Service, and Parking staff were, as before, extremely helpful and very pleasant. We are already looking forward to planning our third visit and can't wait to be back!

In This hotel we had to ask daily for towels ( some day they gave us none or 1 face towel, some days they gave us no wash towels, and yet some days we got no towel at all). They offer free continental bearkfast, but it was just coffee. The room was cleaned very poorly at some on kown times. We had to spend most of the day out of room so that they would […] send someone to clean it between 9:00am-6:00pm. We even found giant roaches crawling on the walls. The pool was beautiful but it looked like it was never cleaned. Family and friends couldn't call you directly to the room. And they couldn't leave you a message. I have been to a lot of hotels in my 54 years of life. This one was the very worst I've ever been in. So there is no need to visit this hotel ever! Read more

The overall expirience was satisfying. It is a good spot if you just want to visit mayaguez for a couple of days (no more) or as a cost effective room near a conference. Unfortunately the bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were so flat not even two pillows made a regular one.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The pictures are deceiving. The hotel staff was pleasant but that is not very well received when the hotel is bad. It looks like it had better days. Right now it's just too old and not worth the price. Swimming pool is a "Bath Tub", as described by my teenage daughter. The only good thing was the beds. Very confortable and they looked clean. The neigjborhood […] was really scary at night. Felt like anyone from the street could just climb from outside and enter your room. I wouldnt recommend it if you find vacancy in another hotel, but thats exactly tje problem. There wasn't room anywhere else, thats why we ended up here. Sorry for the bad review but it might let the owner to make some improvements. Read more

Location excellent because you can go to several places of interest, like La Parguera, Cabo Rojo, Rincon, shopping centers and beaches. My room had 2 big beds and was very comfortable. It's good!

Pool area is very small & only 3.6 feet deep. Not what it looks like in there picture.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

While I lived in Mayagüez, I had driven by the hotel, but had never considered the possibility of a stay there until recently. To celebrate our 2-year anniversary, my boyfriend and I decided on a short trip (back to the West coast, in my case), and, in a heartbeat, booked our room at the HoJo. What a pleasant surprise! Friendly, helpful front office, […] housekeeping, and parking staff; comfy, intimate rooms; tasty morsels and drinks could be had for an incredibly appropriate price from the in-house food vendor: everything we could have wanted and/or needed to make our stay pleasant was within easy reach. We're already planning our next visit which, hopefully, will be soon! Read more

This stay was exactly what I wanted-some time to myself after visiting family for a week. I just wanted time to relax, no time constraints, no pressures, just sit in the plaza and watch the world go by. It was almost a little too relaxed in that a lot of businesses around the plaza have closed in these hard economic times. The day I arrived there was […] a classic cars show in the evening, mainly cars from the 50s and 60s, with 50s rock and roll and honky tonk kind of music blaring from two big speakers. Not exactly what you think of in a plaza in Puerto Rico! But lots of families were hanging out. If it had been salsa music, or musica tipica you KNOW they would have all been dancing. As it was, that music in Plaza Colón seemed a little surreal. But it was nice to just hang out, eat some pinchos, stroll over to Rex Cream for some natural fruit helados (and boy, was that tasty). The plaza has a "Friend's Café" but I opted for the Panaderia Ricomini on Calle Iglesia for most of my sit down food. A nice cafe con leche and a brazo gitano (guava jelly roll) were the perfect treat to boost your energy on a lazy afternoon, or a nice cold Malta India, a non-alchoholic malt drink to slake your thirst. The Ricomini bakery seemed to be a favorite for the after church crowd, as it gets pretty busy around then. So try to beat the rush on Sunday morning or sleep late. The hotel's continental breakfast is pretty worthless, so head for the Ricomini instead. I didn't actually turn on my air conditioner-but the ceilings in these great old buildings are so high, and the windows sheltered by the surrounding balcon that it felt very comfortable. The swimming pool is small, as is the lounging area around it. If you want to work on your tan, you can only do so from about 10:30-1:00, because it's in shade the rest of the time. Although the hotel offers (for a reasonable price) parking, I wound up parking my rental car on the street (made sure it was a legal spot) for two nights with no probl Read more

This is an old priest's residence across the main plaza and church. The location is great, parking is hard to find; we recommend to use the hotel parking. Continental breakfast is excellent and abundant with an attendant to take care of you, if needed. Rooms are clean. The only noise is heard when the church bells start ringing in the morning, otherwise […] is a very quiet neighborhood. Read more

The staff at Howard Johnson Downtown Mayaguez is friendly and very attentive. The front desk attendant (Waldemar) took care of all our additional requests within a reasonable amount of time, and the staff at the cafe made delicious food and drinks, and they had great personalities and friendly attitudes. The rooms vary in decor and size (we had 2 rooms), […] and they are very clean and comfortable. One of the rooms had a balcony facing the church, and we saw all the Christmas lights in the plaza from our balcony! We enjoyed our stay at this hotel, and we recommend staying at the Howard Johnson in Mayaguez if anyone is traveling to Puerto Rico. We will definitely stay there again! Read more
