    Overview

    Beachfront hotel with spa close to Bal Harbour Shops

    Wake up by the beach
    Howard Johnson Plaza Dezerland Beach is located right on the beach so you can start your day with ocean views. You're a 5-minute drive from the Bal Harbour Shops, featuring high-end stores like Neiman Marcus. Haulover Beach Park is less than 3 miles away.

    Visit the Bass Museum
    This hotel puts you close to the Bass Museum of Art, a 12-mile drive away, and you can watch a horse race at Gulfstream Park, just 19 minutes away by car. You're only 6 miles from trendy downtown Miami Beach, where you can party in vibrant bars and nightclubs.

    Free breakfast
    You can start your day with a fresh continental breakfast. A full-service spa and fitness center helps you keep fit, and you can swim in the outdoor pool. The onsite American Classic Restaurant is a fun, 1950s-themed eatery.

    Rooms with a view
    All rooms have TVs with premium channels, while coffeemakers and hair dryers are there for your convenience. Some rooms have a gorgeous ocean view. Junior suites have kitchenettes so you can whip up a meal for yourself.

    Bad experience. Outdated and needs major improvement as to facility maintenance and services. The room stinks! Has to change because of unbearable smell. Ordered food in the bar and when the food came, we smelled the rice is spoiled and the amount of food is way expensive with the quality of food. The waitress urged us to reorder forsomething else with […] frustrated facial reaction. To our dissappointment we left. Although the guy that took care of us in the front desk is nice and accepted our complain to be forwarded to management. Overall the hotel needs major overhauling and come down to price as what they asking. I would not recommend this hotel at all. Read more

    The pictures are blatant lies or at least exaggerations and the service was horrendous. They wouldn't do dry cleaning for us and every time we spoke with an employee they were just trying to get you away from them as quickly as possible (if they even spoke English). The beach nearby is terrible and the location was way out of the way of anything cool. […] The ONLY positive was that the HoJo has now become big joke sarcastically saying "Well this place is nice but it is no Howard Johnson". I absolutely urge you to stay away from this place. Read more

    I'm not sure where to start. I feel that the pictures on the website were a very inaccurate description of what we found. The hotel was very dirty starting with the lobby. There was a damp smell throughout the hotel. When we got to our door, my husband had to force the door three times in order for it to open. The room was very dirty and the "remodeling" […] people forgot a bucket of paint on our table. The bath room door was not closing or staying shut. The sink had paint all over it. We got to the hotel at mid-night and left at 8. I feel that that was a few hours too long. I feel it is pretty bad when you leave a hotel and you feel like you want to take a shower. Read more

    From the moment I waled in to check in....I had to wait over 30 minutes...The girl at front desk told me to have a seat while she talked on the phone.....Then another couple walked in and she forgot that I was there and checked them in ahead of me. Oce I was finally able to get some service, the room wasn't ready and had to wait another 30 minutes, […] even though it was already an hour past the advertised check in time. Pool was closed and I was never informed. Overall, I wouldn't pay motel prices for a stay at this hotel! Read more

    This was by far the worst experience I've had at a hotel. The elevators in the front did not work and our room was on the 7th floor. As a result the entire building as well as the workers and their cleaning carts all had to use one elevator located in the back. We usually had to wait around 10 minutes. The staff was not very friendly and the manager […] was not in and could not take complains. There was no internet in the room,key cards didn't work. Read more

    1) I was charged for Parking but there was no room for parking. Many cars were parked in drive way. 2) The receptionist made fun and comment on a guest after the guest left the desk with her associate 3) In Laundry room's temperature was too hot to stand there and do your laundry. 4) We had to pay cash only as the cafeteria was not accepting any credit […] card. The lady was suggesting that if you don't have enough cash you withdraw from ATM. 5) one cleaning lady entered knock the door and with in few seconds she opened the door before we reach to the door.

    I recently stayed at the Howard Johnson Plaza Dezerland Beach and Spa. The hotel itself was a great disappointment. My room was a walk into 1960...nothing has been updated or enhanced. I could have stayed at a Motel 6 and gotten more modern aesthetics. I was very disappointed. There was an additional $11/night parking fee that was not discussed in the […] fine print. Overall I would have paid more money for better hotel accommodations. Read more

    Deveria ser implodido para a construção de um novo. O hotel é velho e nem reformas resolveriam o problema. Tem uma decoração "retro" anos 60 talvez para dar a ideia de que a "antiguidade" fosse propositalmente decorativa. Mas, não é não! É velho mesmo. Colchões e travesseiros tão ruins que não nos deixavam dormir. Não tem nada perto que dê para fazer […] a pé (lanchonetes, restaurantes...) e o restaurante do hotel também é horroroso. O único ponto positivo era o sorriso da recepcionista, sempre alegre e disponível. Read more

    A este hotel habia ido un par de veces antes. Nunca fue un gran hotel, pero el servivio y la limpieza tenian buen equilibrio precio/calidad. Pero esta ultima vez fue pesimo, el desayuno malisimo, me cambiaron de habitación por una supuestamente mejor y no era asi. Queria pedir comida a las 8 de la noche y no atendian el telefono, baje al restaurant […] y no habia nadie. Preguntabas a la gente de la entrada y no tenian idea. Cuando llegue habia una pasajera haciendo una denuncia policial contra el hotel por algun tipo de robo que habia sufrido en su habitación. La habitación tenia paredes con la pintura saltada, los enchufes de corriente se salian de la pared, el baño tenia oxido en la ducha. Mande un mail estando hospedado y nunca me contestaron. La verdad una experiencia muy mala en esta ocación. No volveré y no lo recomiendo. Read more
