Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel

OK for a night or two, but no longer

We arrived 30 mins before check-in time. They told us our room would be ready soon. 30 Mins later, they said they needed to change rooms b/c bathroom leaked. We waited another 30 mins for them to clean that room. Finally we got in, the room looked fine, but we had no hand towels, washcloths, or even hand soap in the bathroom. Then we realized there were no sheets on the bed. There was one flat sheet (used as a fitted sheet) and a comforter, which was actually two twin comforters split down the middle of the king size bed. We waited two hours for a security guard, yes i said security guard to bring up two more sheets so we could make the bed ourselves. The comforter also had a number of small black curly hairs. It was not a good nights sleep. On the plus side, the location is excellent. The floating brigde was directly outside our window for an easy walk to Punda. I’m thinking all the problems with room were caused by them rushing to get it ready, but I still would not stay there again.

The best place

This hotel has the best location in Willemstad. Problems: there aren’t refrigerator in the rooms, doesn’t have room services. But where I’ll go to Willemstad I’ll stay there. The reception personal is very, very good.

Traveller's tip on saving a few bucks

I recommend this hotel for urban turism. Curaçao is a complete place, with a beautiful city, beautiful beachs and a friendly and happy people.

A Disappointment

Great location in Willemstad. Room was cramped and poorly maintained (lights didn’t all work). The usual toiletries were not provided and beds were very uncomfortable though clean.
