I traveled to Hallandale Beach to celebrate my 30th with some of my friends. This unit was a great find because my main goals for this trip was being able to wake up with a view of the water every day, which it did deliver on that. Here are some Pros and Cons about this unit and host.
Pro:
-Great views
-Amazing balcony
-Great size
-Close Access to the Beach
-Great location
-Street parking close by
Cons:
-Mold in the shared bathroom shower (this was really disgusting and when I let the host know she didn't address the issue or really respond aside from asking me which bathroom it was)
-The beds aren't very sturdy (one of my friends went to lay down and fell off the bed because one side had a dip in it, not sure what was causing that). Additionally things like the linens and bath rugs all could use some updating.
- While the host is quick to respond there could be more information provided in terms of how to access various amenities and what is expected for check-out.
-The staff at the front desk can be VERY rude. Specifically the evening staff (the young man working the desk in the evening with the black curly hair is terrible). They seemed to harass our group about things that we saw them not even question other guests about (like the beach towels or wristbands both things that everyone in our group was following the directions about). The staff on the hotel side was much more accommodating and professional.
-Our dish washer was broken, the kitchen smoke detector was missing, and alot of the knobs (door, sinks, showers) were loose. Luckily, the host was quick to respond and get a tech there to attempt to fix things but the tech didn't wear a mask while in our unit.
-The floors are tile and were pretty dirty (bring socks or house shoes unless you enjoy the bottoms of your feet to be really dirty)
