GUATEMALA CITY HOWARD JOHNSON HOTEL – Feb. 2017 4-stars We stayed at this hotel for one night because it was near Hedman Alas’ bus terminal, which we had to be at early in the morning. Knowing we could easily arrange taxi service from the hotel to the bus station was a plus for us. This is a typical American hotel. The room was spacious, the bathroom nice, and the beds comfortable. There is an elevator for taking luggage to the upper floors and seemed to be 24-hour front desk service. My only complaint relates to an email we sent asking that no cleaning products be used the day of our arrival due to my wife’s chemical sensitivity. We did not get a response and the request was not attended to. Fortunately, the room “fragrance” was manageable for my wife.

“Here in the Zona 9 Without a Car Worked Out Fine”

I picked The Howard Johnson Inn Guatemala City for the fact of its being within walking distance of the Museo Popol Vuh and Museo Ixchel de Traje Indigena. (They're about a 20 minute walk.) It wasn't a bad place to be for exploring the Zona 1 as the TransMetro takes you there in about 20 minutes.… more

It wasn't a bad place to be for exploring the Zona 1 as the TransMetro takes you there in about 20 minutes. Really I have no serious complaints; it's a pleasant enough business hotel. My only reason for not ranking higher: The fitness area is pretty small and the restaurant staff seemed sometimes overwhelmed by the number of customers, resulting in slow service on occasion. By & large, I was happy with my choice to stay here.

“Overpriced”

Let me speak straight: this is an average hotel. It is clean, reasonably safe, and provide basic amenities like free wifi in the room (a little bit slow, by the way), hair dryer, and so. Don't expect a safe box in the room, or a mini bar. But it is quiet, although its location in a main avenue. And… more

Don't expect a safe box in the room, or a mini bar. But it is quiet, although its location in a main avenue. And the airport is less than twenty minutes away by car. However, the room rate is too high. For the same price you can find better hotels in Guatemala zona 10.

“Conveniently Located to the Airport”

Not out first choice, but it is next to the airport. We arrived and were met with a heavily armed security guard, welcome to Guatemala... At the welcome desk there was no one around, so we had to ask the security guard to call a receptionist. An employee eventually appeared, very disheveled.... O… more

Not out first choice, but it is next to the airport. We arrived and were met with a heavily armed security guard, welcome to Guatemala... At the welcome desk there was no one around, so we had to ask the security guard to call a receptionist. An employee eventually appeared, very disheveled.... On to the rooms. Not bad but not great.
