Maybe I didn’t read the description well enough, but I didn’t realize this would be just a regular & older motel. I envisioned privately owned condos, not just nightly rentals. I also thought “steps from the beach” was just that, but it was really a block away with no ocean views. The way the descriptions as written led me to believe we were going to be right across the boardwalk from the beach. Our room was directly behind the taco shack and Saturday night was really loud. It didn’t bother us too much but if you have trouble sleeping it’s just something to consider. The Hollywood Beach location in general was run down and a little sketchy. We didn’t feel unsafe, but lots of empty buildings and dark streets. The town could really use some revitalization.
On the positive side, the person checking us in was very friendly and walked us to our room. There are beach towels and chairs for you to use for free.
Beautiful beach, just a little bit of a rougher area than we expected.
