AC wasn’t the greatest. Room was okay. Didn’t get the hotel that I reserved which was closer to the beach. They ended up switching to a different hotelI was not told the reason why. They have 30 hotels. It’s an older hotel that needs renovations but it was walking distance to the beach so that was great.

I requested to stay at the check in location at the Hollywood Hotel and stayed in Rm 407. The location was close to most restaurant and the breakfast was wonderful. I would definitely return.

Comfy and close to beach
The room was great and the bed very comfortable. The smoke detector beeped every now and then but not always. Would definitely stay again.

This is not a place to stay if you are looking for a great "room" experience. If the plan is to be on the beach our just out of the room, I highly recomend. We are a but adventurous, so we walked the beach end to end and then got a one day bus pass and took 15 minute bus ride to downtown Hollywood. Art Park at Young Circle was AMAZING!

The location is decent for going to the beach, but the rooms are in urgent need of maintenance.
Note that there are NO kitchen utensils! not even glasses to drink from!
Cleanliness was also below average.

Did not like having to search/follow singe to locate check in desk. But Maria at said check in deck explained all available to guest and answered all my questions. Great facilities and great person she was to clarify its amenities.
Enjoyed all after settling in.

Upon arrival I actually had a choice to take a different hotel that was 5 blocks closer to Johnson St so I took it. It was decent with new floors and had a mini refrigerator. Downside was being on the corner of N. Ocean Ave. I heard the traffic all day and all night at the times I was in the room. Service at the office desk was great.
