This hotel is outdated rundown and horrible service. The hallways had a foul smell to them the rooms are worn down as well. The curtains covering the sliding door to the pool were ripped to shreds and the table in the room had water damage on the top off it. The hotel compendium was water damaged as well and they... More

The Howard Johnson in Ponce does exactly what it should as a 2 star hotel. It provides a clean, comfortable room, hospitable service (all staff I spoke to spoke excellent English and were quite willing to help), with a convenient location. It is NOT a 3 star hotel, or a 4 star resort. Nor does it claim to be. When... More

Originally, I reserved/paid for a room for a long term (3mo or longer) stay two weeks in advance - a suite, with fridge, decent a/c, micro, decent bed, etc. The first night - my room was not available. Second night, I was moved to another room - one they thought was more suited to my reservation - not. I was... More

We stayed at the Pone HoJo for one night so that we were closer to the airport for our morning departure. The proximity to the airport was the only thing that they managed to deliver. Upon arrival we needed to wait for the receptionist to finish her call with her friend to check-in. When entering our lovely room we found... More

I got a good multi-day rate through Expedia which made it a value good value. When we first arrived, we were pleasantly suprised at how spacious the hotel was. It seemed clean and fairly modern/efficient. We stayed 4-nights though and as time wore on we became more aware of its flaws. Here are some: Very small ants are all over... More

The hotel was ok - it was old and a bit musty but a decent deal. I was there for work or else I wouldn't have stayed in Ponce. If I had to stay in Ponce I would consider staying there again. More

I've stayed at this hotel many times over the past 8 years because it is close to where I work. The hotel is clean and the service is excellent. This is the best value you will find in the area. It is not on the ocean, so don't expect a beach front view. However, the pool area is very nice... More

Stayed at the hotel on the weekend of 11-11 until 11-13 2011. Attendance and service at the front desk was good. Everyone was pleasent and helpful. The blanket on both beds had holes in it. Did not give a good impression. The towels were supposed to be white but looked grey. There were no shower caps. On a whole the... More
