Hollywood by the Sea Hotel

Extremely budget hotel. Fabulous location. Doesn’t look like the pictures.

You had to ask and retrieve a box of semi dirty kitchen utensils and ask for filters for the coffee pot at the office. Room was bare bones, scuffed walls, dirty vents, and the dead bolt for the front door looked to be replaced several times due to being kicked in.

POOR It is in very bad condition, doors and walls dirty and unpainted, they always say they are going to do something about it and they do nothing, we will never return, and for breakfast no eggs and they used Tang Orange Sweetened Powdered Drink Mix.

Room clean. Two towels. When calling the reception which was in another building she always put you on hold for over 10 minutes until one got tired of waiting. Had to use your own cell to call. No connections in room. Bathroom shoddy work. Plastered and not painted over. Tub so slippery that they definitely need a shower mat. Was frightening. Had to buy my own toilet paper. Also free breakfast was in another buildings little outdoor plaza. Closes at 10:00 AM but got there at 9 and was told it was closed. Not as advertised. Do not believe their pictures. The only nice thing was the nice was cleaning lady but they have a sign cleaning every 3 days. Coffee pot and toaster. Not one cup or utensils they have a stove and no pots or pans. Wanted to get another hotel but could not get money back so had to do with the worst nightmare ever.

There was no water in the shower.

Close to the beach.

Staff were rude and with no patience to help. They were not prepared to offer any logical answer. I will also love to recomend you to add a sponge, detergent, some cups, spoon, plates since you have a kitchen. Also the towels quality is poor. The doors were dirty.

The view was spectacular, wake up everyday to the sunrise. And a few feet away from the beach. A little on the pricey side but while worth it. I would also recommend putting a small broom and dust pan in the rooms the sand was everywhere.
