I recently returned from a trip on which I took 22 other people, 18 students and 4 other adults, on a trip to Puerto Rico. We stayed at the Howard Johnson on Isla Verde because of its price and location. It cost us $4,800 for five rooms for five nights. When we first arrived we were pleasantly surprised by the... more

Good pool area and good location being very close to the beach (nice beach but not the best for swimming due to force of waves coming in). Also convenient to get the bus into Puerto Rico - runs from outside the hotel approx. every 25 minutes, costs 75 cents and takes about 35 minutes. What we didn't like so much... more

We stayed here for a bachelor party and had 2 rooms for 6 guys. + It was cheap (~$150 a night) and did not require a pre-pay (meaning that it was cancelable) The receptionist was nice and answered questions well. The location is great in the Isla Verde area Parking is cheap, if you rent a car - The floors... more

HAMILTON, ONTARIO CANADA FEBRUARY, 2008 We stayed at his hotel as a pre-cruise destination. Arrived at the hotel at 4:00 p.m. It is a very short drive from the Airport. Check in was a breeze. Rooms are clean and include iron, coffee maker, fridge, and microwave. Bathroom is tiny but clean and renovated. Airconditioning worked well noise level was quiet... more

The Carolina HoJo is an extremely adequate place to stay, if you know what I mean. The price is right, the room is standard, and the location is convenient. Five minutes from the airport and convenient to San Juan without the intown hassles. The street, Isla Verde, is busy and you should avoid rooms with a view of the water.... more

We booked the HOJO after doing a lot of research and decided that we did not want to spend $400+ a night on a nearby beach front resort. We ended up paying $130/night (AAA rate) and stayed here two nights before our cruise left out of San Juan. I have to admit I was very skeptical at first because of... more

Okay, for basic accommodations. The pool was nice and it was close to everything. Parking is a problem. more

Avoid this place. We made the mistake of staying here a second time thinking it may have improved. Wrong! It was worse than our first stay. It took 5 calls to the front desk to get a roll-away bed that was already supposed to be in the room. The beds - horribly uncomfortable. Sheets - like paper towels. Service -... more

Second time staying at this hotel. This time my room smelled old and musky, the bathroom was small and you have to pay $7.oo dollars for parking per day. Overall the hotel is OK! It is located across the street from some private apartment building but there is a small pathway that is open to the public so you can... more
