Hollywood Beach Tower

I recently stayed here for a work trip. Relativity cheap, friendly staff, clean rooms, great view!

This hotel sucks… do yourself a favor and get another hotel. The front desk people don’t care if you stay there or not. Since they don’t care just let them go out of business and lose their jobs!!! It may take 30mns to check in alone. Just don’t stay here

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL…
If your going to check in after 7pm.
On a working trip the other night i booked a room for my two colleges last min (11.30pm) through
(who are awesome). During the booking there was an error and my name ended up being on the resivation not my colleges who was trying to check in. Normally a error that can be fixed by a simple phone call. Not this time!!!
The lady on the front desk refused to add his name to the resivation.
We called hoteltonights awesome customers service who inturn called the hotel to change the resivation. The front desk lady STILL refused to add the name to the resivation and demanded an email be sent.
So
sent an email and a delivered confirmation was received whilst i was all on the phone. (The hotel tonight lady also commented on the front desks ladys bad attitude)
It’s now 2am. My colleges only wanted a room to sleep in for a few hours as they had worked an 18 hour day and had another 18hr day the next day.
Another hour passes and i receive another phone call from my colleague who has still not managed to get into the room. So i call the hotel back to find out what the problem was now and a male security gaurd answers and he was much more helpful, at which point i started to complain about the front desk lady.
WHO GRABS THE PHONE FROM HIM, STARTS TO ARGUEE WITH ME AND HUNG UP.
I have worked in customer service for a number of years and stay in hotels all the time. NEVER have i experienced such rude/​dissmisive/​difficult person.
And to add insult to injury when my two male coworkers git to there room (4am) they where given a single bed to share. Then the next day they got called at 11am and where forced to leave the room.
Long and short of it. The worst hotel and customer service experience of my life. I hope people avoid this hotel and they go out of business.

Hotel staff is absolute shit. We book through our company and we travel 3 weeks out of the month 8 months out of the year and I have never experienced such shit treatment as I did here. I try to stay away from harsh language in my reviews yet with this business I simply cannot hold back.
The staff had a shit fit because our boss booked the room and wouldn’t allow us to check in until it was solved despite my employer calling with the card and confirmation number demanding that we get our room. We waited for 3 hours before we were finally allowed to check in. Only to find that despite the shit service and not letting us get our room we don’t even get a beach view or what we want, double beds.
Be right back as I sleep in a one bed room with my other male coworker. What the fuck kind of business is this, we aren’t their typical clients clearly. They’re probably used to people on vacations giving zero fucks about anything and just wanting to get wasted. Not my agenda here. Next time I’ll stick to what we are used to, proper high end hotels that actually treat you the way you deserve to be treated. Fuck this hotel.

Pros: relatively cheap, location on boardwalk Cons: the walls are paper thin, you can hear every conversation around you, and retired Latinos talk until the sun comes up or they die; this place is a timeshare but some hotel sites book it as a hotel, and don’t tell you there’s NO daily maid service AND a hidden extra $ 50 to $ 70 cleaning fee, desk staff last smiled sometime in the 70s

Hotel was decent, but the staff was horrible. The woman at the front desk began yelling at us that we couldn’t park there (even though we were given a parking pass for 1 car) she snatched the parking pass right out of my sister hands. When we got the manager he said she was wrong and we could park 1 car in the garage, then she said we lost the parking pass and had to pay $ 40, NO SHE HAD JUST SNATCHED IT FROM US IT WASNT LOST! He didn’t even seem bothered she acted like this and was wrong. The lobby full of guestS checking in even shook their head with disbelief.

We are staying here in exchange from our timeshare from Las Vegas. We have 2 small kids and so far our stay has been great. We got upgraded from our timeshare to an ocean view room and the view is amazing. Our rooms were excellent, we got a full kitchen which came in handy with the 2 kids, the property is right on the ocean so the beach was just a walk away, plus it is on the boardwalk so there were many things to do/​see/​eat. We got a rental car so we were able to park in the garage, which is tiny but there’s also another garage in the basement which was a lot bigger. They offered a laundry room, $ 1 per load both washer and dryer. My only cons were: if you ran out of TP or any other amenities you would have to go and purchase it yourself, pool is small, they wait til Wed. For towel exchangse otherwise if you need new towels, you wash it, they also did not offer beach umbrellas for rent, banana boat which is on the beach did and it was $ 20 for an umbrella and 2 chairs=pricey!

Arrived in the evening, greeted by security he was helpful on where we could park a vehicle the was to high for the 6’8″ garage.
Check in lady was pleasant and explained all amenities. Location was easy to find. Property was very clean. Didn’t see any small kids so if your trying to escape that then this resort will suit you. They have activities and BBQ around the pool. Pool wasn’t crowded. Hot tub was comfortable. Boardwalk is amazing for food, drinks and interesting people watching. The room was fantastic. Nice kitchen! Publix Grocery about 1 mile away. Murphy bed in lock off unit was very comfortable. TV’s had many premium channels. We will return here for sure!

Great spot to have a quiet getaway.
Pros
— Decent size pool and a hot tub.
— The beach is right in front of the hotel
— free parking inside a deck
— clean hotel
— great service
Cons
— not much around the area

stay far far away. horrible! we have paid 300 for one night to hang out on the beach for the 4^th of july and so far they have sent us to a room that already had guests, we were told free parking another bonus but have been called twice to come move our car because there isnt enough parking for all the rooms. the room is ok but not as described and really not big enough for 2 adults and a teenager. we are making the most of it but wouldnt send anyone here

Stay away. While Hollywood beach area is great this hotel is definately not.
The place is understaffed and with that comes very poor sometimes borderline rude service from the staff they do have. There have not been any updates since the place was built, no daily room service, they run out of beach towels by 11:00 AM everyday, parking is atrocious, by the time trash day came around the trash chute was full with people just leaving trash bags in the hallway, the lack of staff meant no one bothered to pick it up. I can’t stress enough this place is a complete dump. STAY AWAY!

Cool:
— **on the beach **
— cheap accomodation (paid $ 80/​night for an oceanview 1 bedroom + living room condo. two TVs, two full baths)
— room was clean
— barbecue available outside
— small but fully functional kitchen
— free parking
— in between Fort Lauderdale and Miami (easy access through A1A)
Not so cool:
— super thin walls (fortunately for us, we didn’t have people in the adjoining room most nights)
— smelly corridors
— makes my 1960 built house seem modern
— check-​in was 4:30 not 3:00 (rooms not ready)
— very tight parking spots
— disgusting parking garage (foul smells, trash everywhere)
In short, it’s a rundown place that’s a perfect place if you need to crash on the beach and aren’t too concerned with noise or for having a social scene. Plenty of nice low-​key places to have a drink within a few blocks. We loved leaving the place and spending time on the boardwalk. Lower your expectations, appreciate the price you’re paying, and move along.

We stayed at the Hollywood beach tower for 7 nights for around $ 1250 for a one bedroom with a view of the ocean. The tower had a great pool area and the staff grilled several times this week. They have a nice BBQ area that we reserved a couple times. The rooms were spacious with a large living room area and two bathrooms. The signs said that housekeeping would do a lite cleaning every Wednesday but they ended up coming every day. The kitchenette was not easy to cook in but worked for snacking and lite cooking. The location was perfect and right on the beach and boardwalk. We brought our 5 month old and they rented a crib to us for $ 5 a day. You can get a cabana on the beach for $ 12. Sunnyside bakery is right next to the hotel and there is a good latter stand right next to the bakery. They are hard to find because the shopping mall looks closed. The down falls of the place: the shower head is low and the hot water flashes scorching ocassionally, the décor is from 1970s but clean. Overall we had a blast… we had one offer for time shares but other than that… no pressure.
