on the BEACH * STUDIO in Hollywood Beach hotel & condo

Overall we had a great time. You can’t beat the location if you want to enjoy the boardwalk and beach, it’s just a walk away. Plus the hotel has its own outdoor pool! Host was very responsive and helped us have a great vacation from New England weather!

Sad to see this historic property in shuch a state, nice location, noce pool and room is clean but the other common areas are depressing.

Rental was in prefect location with bike rental in lobby. Building is old and decor reflects it. Room was smaller than expected but neat and clean. Used it for sleeping only. Only one elevator was working so used stairs mostly. Weather was perfect and beach was beautiful.

The resort itself has issues.This unit however is individually owned.We had no complaints.The unit was impeccably clean and kitchenette well stocked.Really good value for money and would stay there again

The studio itself was very clean and nicely decorated. There could be more towels for our stay but we made due with the two sets we had. The ad states there is parking and a garage but no where does it state the cost is on you as well as a resort fee. For two days parking at the garage it was $52 and the resort fee is $30 and I'm not sure what you get for the resort fee. A pool does not make it a resort, nor do all the empty store fronts inside the building. We only stayed 2 days but it felt like a lifetime. This hotel is nasty, dirty and falling apart. One of the 3 elevators was working (slowly), the other one had a sign that said it was down for a "few hours" and remained down for both days we were there with same said sign on it. The other elevator never ran that we seen. It was easier to take the steps to our floor and thankfully we were on a lower floor. The stairwells do not look like they've been cleaned in a very long time. It is very unfortunate that this place is poorly cared for because it has so much potential. There was marijuana smells throughout the building from sun up to sun down. I've never had this experience through home away and to be very honest, we were horribly disappointed.

I feel badly for the folks who own in this building because they are the ones taking the negative hit based on the experience. I would say they need to just put it out there about the parking and resort fee so your customers are not surprised at check-in. It was on the confirmation once it was paid for but at that point, most generally it is overlooked. We were told about the resort fee in a separate message as well. I guess we've been really very fortunate to have never experienced this before but nonetheless it doesn't make it any easier giving negative feedback but I want others to know so they don't experience the same.
