"Great deal from hotels.com"
I felt like I got a heck of a deal from this reservation!! This Howard Johnson was a really nice one, with great amenities. Not to mention all of the cool cars and amazing pool/deck area with the beach steps away. My only complaint would be that the staff were not very friendly, all about business and that there was a mix up with my reservations, but […] that was handled (not as quickly as I would have liked)! Overall.....great choice!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"good for the price but this hotel can be better."
Good service, free shuttle to aventura mall and south beach. continental breakfast free but is only bread and coffe, no juice, no yogurth no anything else. Just a poor coffe.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nothing special, but good for the price"
We've stayed at this hotel several times, even before it was a Howard Johnson. It's not fancy, and the property is getting old, but they are trying to maintain things, with new paint here and there, and you can tell they are indeed making efforts. The location is great, right on the beach, right on the bus route, and the hotel shuttle is nice too, even […] though they cut back the schedule this year. The daily resort fee includes chairs for the beach, and towels for the beach and/or pool area. They are a little too quick to close up shop for the chairs if the weather turns, but otherwise it's nice to have. The hot tub was great, and I used it every night. English is definitely a second language here, so be prepared for that. Everyone understands it, but they don't all speak it very well. Front desk staff was wonderful, even when we had special requests on our room. Every year, we talk about finding another spot for the next year, yet we keep coming back anyway!

"fantasic beach front property close to all areas"
for the money you get a great view of the ocean very pleased. I have been several times will continue to go back. Close to south beach activities but far enough away when you just want the ocean to yourself. Family friendly. People and service are very good. Hotel needs a little update but worth the visit. Always feel safe in the area. Great choice […] if you want lots to do or just want to read a book on the beach. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel for the price"
Very recomendable if you want a budget hotel, is far from the center but if you rent a Car only takes 10 minutes. Is very clean, the breakfast is ok and the pool is perfect. Wi fi is available everywere but not always good signal. I Will definetly stay there my next time in miamiGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Bit far out of town"
Good clean Hotel Comfortable beds, really nice 50-60s deco in the restuarant area with old cars as setting, lot's off photos and statues of Marilyn Munro, Elvis Presley, James Dean etc. Hotel on Miami Beach and has a good swimming pool area. Their guest computers are a rip off, so take your own. The S bus stops right out side the Hotel for a very easy […] commute downtown $1 Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"no ocean view"
Paid for the hotel on the phone. made sure to gt an ocean view, got to the hotel and come to find out they said i only booked a standard room, i was so angry i didnt get what i paid for. overall nice hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
It 's a good place to rest for few days w/family, a very quiet place, the room should have a litle more comfort mainly the matress and pillows, the floor of the pool need little repair& if you reinstal the mini golf that used to be next to pool years ago, would be another amenity for guest.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"greg d"
i stayed in this hotel 35 years ago... so if ur looking for something modern this aint it... however well maintained and very friendly staff and beach front property without all the extra charges makes this hotel a valueGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"All in one- hotel,beach, restaurant"
We booked this hotel after we got off our cruise at Port of Miami. It was actually pretty far away.. but they graciously let us check in about 4 hours early. We were grateful..had luggage and no car!! Room was spacious and clean. Location was not optimal for going anywhere since we didn't have a car, It's pretty much just surrounded by other hotels. […] But the pictures aren't lying, it's right on the beach!! It wasn't a very nice day, but we did sit out there and listen to the waves, which was nice. The hot tub and pool weren't very clean, which may have been from the rain earlier. We ate at the hotel restaurant twice. A little pricey, but decent food. It's a nice place to go if you don't really want to leave the hotel site. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"great bargain for Maimi on the ocean"
Very pleasantly surprised how well maintained hotel was. It is an old hotel, slightly musty odor, but very well maintained. It is on the ocean and has a lovely pool area with lounge chairs to relax on. Staff was very accommdating until my room was ready . Room was clean and very large. It was for a precruise night, which usually does not turn out well, […] since I shop for a cheap hotel. This, however, was a big plus since we actually enjoyed our day at the pool and beach. We even had dinner at the restaurant, sitting outside enjoying the view. The lobby is a 50's motive with old cars made into dining tables. FUN!!! Although we had a rented car we never left the hotel until checkout time. We were content to hang out at the hotel until it was time to drive to the ship. Yes, I would come back here again.

"Old apartment"
You could tell it was rebuilt from an old apartment building... Strange rooms and walls are definitely very "hear through".... But overall, a nice place to stay for short visit considering the price we paid for.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is so near at the beach, with a beautiful pool e view. I like the convenience and the park. Inside the room had a refrigerator that helped us. I think this thinks in this hotel is easy.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"best price - best hotel"
everithing was amazing, just one problem the breakfast wasn't included but was ok, in front the street is easy take a public bus, or if you prefer you can go walking to bal harbor, or food places near south beachGenuine Expedia guest review
"Our 1st choice when staying in Miami Beach"
This was the second time we stayed at the Dezerland. The first time we stayed, we were less than impressed, but the familiarity drew us back. This visit, we were offered an upgrade in our room at no charge, upon our request, at check-in. The air conditioner broke down in our room after the 2nd night, and we were ultimately put into a room even better. […] The bed mattresses are not all that comfortable in this hotel, but they will do - afterall - who wants to stay in bed while you are in Miami Beach? The only other negatives we encountered were that the access to the beach is not easy, since they frown upon your walking through the restaurant and pool area. They ask you to walk alongside the outside of the hotel, where there is water dripping from the overhead air-conditioners, and there is no paved pathway - you must walk on uneven ground with protruding rocks and uncomfortable step-downs. Also, there are steps leading to the hotel front door from the pull up driveway, and if you have a lot of luggage, it will be a workout getting it into the hotel. The pool is kept extremely clean, and there are plenty of beach chairs available to hotel guests. The hotel staff definitely does everything in their power to make your stay as nice as possible - we will go back again! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Howard Johnson Plaza Dezerland - Miami Beach"
The hotel is very beautiful and everybody was nice. The was just two problems: The room was not set yet by the time we arrived there, we need to wait for about 30 minutes. And the second and worse problem: NEVER SCHEDULE A SHUTTLE WITH HIS HOTEL! They just do not appear to pick you up and do not let you know before.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great beach hotel."
Dezerland is like our second home. The experience is alwasy fantastic, easy, the right ammount of service we need as a family on vacation. Thanks!!Genuine Expedia guest review

"Anniversary trip"
This was our 5th time at this hotel, we keep coming back. For the price and right on the beach it can't hardly be beat. Hot tub was just warm, and shuttle was not running a couple of days. Beach chairs and towels need to be out earlier and longer for summer hours. Overall was a good visit and we will probably be back again.Genuine Expedia guest review

"On the beach but slightly remote"
Very cost effective and exactly what I needed, but not in the centre of the action ... long beautiful beach without the huge crowds. Great decor with veteran cars and '60's art. The room was 'basic' but spacious and comfortable. Very helpful staffGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Boa relação custo/benefício"
Hotel bom, quartos confortáveis e limpos. A localização não é muito boa, fica bem distante dos bares e restaurantes de Miami Beach. Boa relação custo/benefício. Recomendo.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
