The Hollywood Beach Resort & Spa

Age 30-35 This place is an absolute pile of trash. I did not stay here, but I thought about it when I was looking for a place for our vacation. I read all the reviews and decided not to stay. On our trip I decided to walk by and check it out to see if all the poor reviews were true. The hotel and pool area is sooooo run down. It is in a very sketchy end of the boardwalk. This whole section of the boardwalk is sketchy with lots of run down businesses and loitering suspicious characters. There were zero people at the pool, probably because the entire pool area had yellow caution tape everywhere. The shop downstiars right off the boardwalk had a rack outside but inside was locked, yet open?. As I was looking at the clothing rack a lady ran over and asked If I needed something. I said I was looking and then casually mentioned how I wanted to look inside as well. She literally told me I had to come back after I showered because I had on sunscreen. I'm sorry what?! I can't look in your BEACHFRONT STORE because I'm wearing sunscreen in Florida, on the beach?!. We walked away. We were going to take a jump in the ocean but I felt like we would honestly get robbed if we put our stuff down so we waited until we were more north near our amazing hotel The Tides to do so. Trust the bad reviews and stay sway!

Love the history of this building. Now that the place is abandoned and empty I would love to be able to do an overnight paranormal investigation here. South florida paranormal

If you are thinking about the historical hotel you are at the good place and it was a good place to go 5 years ago. Now it's a sad smelly place. Not a resort anymore it's a rental place for a bit richer than poor people . Outside it's a beautiful historical hotel inside they could renovate or maintain a bit but not! With the hotel you have an old mall but everything is closed now. It's really sad all the reviews are old and it don't represent what it now. If this doesn't mind to you, you are in a good place in front of the water, close to a lot of restaurants on the boardwalk and stores. If someone could buy this wonderful historical hotel and put money in it, it could be a great place as it was! Food & drinks: Really good place to eat tacos or else!

Stayed here at an airbnb on our honeymoon. Sad to see such a beautiful old building, so empty, but I enjoyed the whole experience.

Location is beautiful view is amazing clean rooms and grateful service

This hotel is not what is use to be. Hotel use to be so alive back in the 90's and early 2000's. I remember playing in the arcade and shopping and now everything is run down, the hotel mall is empty, no more restaurants inside, no more breakfast carts or coffee. not sure why they keep this up anymore. Even though it is Historic this hotel really needs some ugrading to it.

The host is A+++++!!!Room is absolutely beautifully decorated, clean, stocked, and the extra beach gear available to borrow is a really cool bonus. The view of the aqua water and palms from the bed is just breathtaking. Location is perfect just steps from the beach and walking distance to everything. 2 of us are reviewing. The hotel is almost 100 years old. It's old Florida, historic & cool. The vibe here is definitely chill. Our room is modern, clean, stocked with beach or pool stuffwasn't expecting that, a nice thoughtful touch & has a water view. Will definitely return & will recommend to friends & family.

Do not waste your time booking a place here. Mildew and roaches is the best you will get with this resort. As of posting this, the power has been out for nearly 3 days; with no sense of urgency to fixing the issue. Never been so close to punching a security guard due to snarky remarks.

If all you need is a good clean place to sleep and make meals at a low price this was great. It is outdated and there is a stinky elevator but there are 3 .we only got it once. Elevators are pretty quick. Bed was comfortable, I have a bad back and have had trouble sleeping on beds in hotel but I slept well. We were on the 7th floor internal front and had a gorgeous view pic isn't as good. It's right out the back to the boardwalk. It has a small convenience store inside.

The only good thing about this resort is the proximity to the beach and the ocean front views. Parking is either on street with a pre-purchased permit or an adjacent parking garage at $20/day. The place smells of smoking, even though it is a "smoke-free" building. People have dogs in the rooms, barking at all hours. Beware there are roaches, fumigation is not a top priority. The place looks in disrepair even at first glance when approaching the entrance. There is no front desk help only "security guards". The place is cheap for a reason.
