The hotel's location was not ideal, with noisy corridors and not so clean rooms, but it was convenient for the Battlefrog Race at a nearby park. The service was lacking, with staff hardly engaging except for basic questions. The dining, however, included fresh orange juice, which was a nice touch.

The location was not the best, with noisy corridors and not-so-clean rooms. However, back in 2011 when it was Howard Johnson Plaza Dezerland Beach & Spa, it might have been better. It was convenient for my trip to Miami for the Battlefrog Race at a nearby park, but overall, not impressive.
