Never would have booked this place if I had known it was under construction! Couldn't relax on the terrace at all or even stay in your room during the day! Don't book it! Was not a relaxing stay at the beach at all!

For a beach vacation this place is perfect. Get groceries and Park the car and just do the beach. I didnt see where beach towels were provided so perhaps ask if you need to bring. Nice little kitchen with fridge , microwave, toaster and dishes/cutlery. Bring your own coffee as it is not provided.

Offices closes at 6 pm so you’d better check in by then. Room was very dated but the location & view was great. It’s right on the boardwalk surrounded by restaurants & bars so it is noisy. Also the property is undergoing renovation/repairs so be prepared for a 6 am wake up call as hammers start up.

Hello Mr. Bryan and thank you for sharing your feedback, i would like to confirm that our office closes at 6 pm and after 6 pm we have a safe and easy self check in set up for our late arrival guests and so far we had a positive feedback about it, i have personally checked the arrival and start time of our general contractors for the days that you were staying and i can confirm that they have never started at 6 am and i believe that part of your feedback might be a simple typo, please let us know if it was not a typo and we will gladly look into this matter further, thank you.

Room information is by the back of the building.No lobby or entrance. No one at a door but phone and key boxes. When you call you are given a code to retrieve key. You go up the outdoor stairs, on the side of building, to second floor where the gate to outdoor patio does not look like the picture advertised and is actually the roof of the restaurant below. Rooms are situated on roof of restaurant facing the broadwalk by beach. Antiquated toaster did not work, had problem with entrance door. The bathroom commode was childs level in height. We only stayed 2 nights instead of three. We were by the beach as advertized.

Dear Ana, thank you for taking your time to write this feedback, we do have phone and key boxes set up on our office door for our after hours late arrival guests and everyone loves it because it is at the same location and it is super fast and easy self check in and so far we only had positive feedbacks about it. The hotel is located on the 2nd floor of a square building with a huge terrace and a beautiful view to the ocean and above the restaurants that are on the first floor of the said square building. I would like to apologize for the maintenance issues that you had with entrance door but we have examined it after you checked out and did not find any issues with it. You have never told us about the toaster and if we knew that it failed to work, we would have easily replaced it with new one. Nevertheless I would like to apologize that things did not go as planned or as expected for you but we have never false advertised our property. Thank you.

The place is in excellent area, they was remodeling the hotel and they don’t said nothing I went whit. A 5 years old girl and was insecure for her, the room was ok but the restroom was whit mold the shower and sink broke, and is the worst part we spend 75 dollar extra to pay for one of the cars in public spot cause they just permit one car for room, so I was traveling and my husband have he own car so we can not park two cars that’s is not good when we leave at 6 am we saw a lot of empty spot for the hotel but is ok pay 120 night 8 pm until 6 am plus parking in public street

Thank you very much for your feedback, you are right we only provide 1 free parking space per room as parking is very limited and each room has only 1 parking space assigned, as per your extra car on site street parking is 3 per hour. we are sorry that you did not find the rooms clean enough but we always take cleaning responsibly and we do our best when it comes to cleaning. I can assure you that Hollywood beach is one of the safest cities along the Florida coast compared to Miami and Fort Lauderdale, so please let us know if you have any questions or concerns, thanks

November 2023 - This place is under construction so don't think you are going to relax watching the ocean without an orange fence in the way. They don't offer room service, had to beg to get new towels. Have to use a flight of stairs to get to the room. I wouldn't go there again for the price especially.

A noisy stay
I hardly ever give bad reviews, but just let me say a 2 star hotel in Gaza City would be on par with this hotel. The terrace is being demolished for a remodel but the hotel remains open. It's a dated and old art deco building. I noticed a lot of these type buildings being remodeled or reinforced since the Surfside Condos collapsed. There is a very loud bar next door that cranks the tunes at 8:00 am until midnight every night. I'm just glad to be home so I can get some sleep.

This is our second year staying hear and even with the construction which we knew of in advance, it's clean, convenient location to the Beach, anything you need, restaurants, grocery store, liquor store, souvenirs shops are walking distance. The staff are friendly, and accommodating to the needs of their guests. Laundry facilities are an asset, as well as some beach chairs to use.

Concrete Drilling
This is not a bad review, just a complaint. The hotel was clean and comfortable. However, there was construction being done to the building. There was no alert on the booking. The balcony overlooking the ocean and boardwalk was blocked off. We were woken early in the morning with concrete drilling literally on the wall of our room. If we were staying longer than one night I've would have been highly upset. I understand buildings need to be maintained and repaired sometimes but we should have been alerted that was going on before we booked a non-refundable room!

I loved the staff , they were beyond accommodating with my guest and I. They are constructing the deck had I known that I wouldn’t have rented there it took the joy out of staying there this visit the view was always beautiful and that was my reason in why I wanted to rent.. Also last night two other guest were fighting cursing screaming non-stop for half an hour and it was past midnight. This hotel is still and will always be my favorite spot can’t wait for when the new deck is ready.

Great property for the price. Clean fridge on the inside, dirty on the outside. Super clean sheets but the bed cover felt filthy (we just set it aside for the duration of our stay). A bit run-down "roach motel" type of place without the roaches, not a single bug in sight. Perfect for what we needed to get away from Hurricane Idalia on the Gulf Coast where we were vacationing. We'd stay here again, because despite it not being "perfect," it truly was a great experience for us. The beach is steps away, the location couldn't be any better. Plenty of places nearby for food and/or drinks and cute little shops all along the coast near the hotel.

They do not tell you that there is a construction barrier between you ant the front railing, that cuts the terrace in half. You can NOT sit and watch the ocean or people. When you sit in the lounge chair all you see is the construction barrier, and a heavy net on the front rail. You really can not see through both of them. Both have been there for some time and looks like it’s not going away anytime soon. The main reason for picking this place I like to sit and relax watching the ocean and the boardwalk. Parking is really tight, your front bumper needs to be almost touching anything that’s in front of your car. First spot was an active set of stairs. They wanted me to move the car closer to the stairs, which I did not want to do. They gave me a different spot that had which some kind of a container at it. You have to be almost touching the container with the front of your bumper to make them happy. One day I brought some things back to the room, and was going right back out. Before I was done they were at the room wanting me to move the car up. At least it was free parking, never heard of having to pay to park at a hotel, until I started looking for rooms in this area. Parking could be from $10 to $40 A night, and some are strictly valet parking only. My reason for the 1 star is the terrace was falsely advertised, and should be stated in their web site they are having work done. Of course in the 12 nights I was there, never seen any work being done. Characters limited

Thank you so much for staying with us and sharing your experience, currently we are making improvements in our building but it does not interfere with hotel operations since everything is still open and ready for you to be used on our terrace, our prices reflect what we have while we are doing updates and we always show everything on the pictures online so you can see what you are booking. Please let me know if you have any additional comments, thank you!
