There were long hairs in the room, the towels appeared dirty as did the small soap that was in the bathroom. The machine that sold water was out of order. I booked this room for a family member and as inexperienced travelers, they didn't know what to do as it was late in evening. I called the motel the next day and they refused any type of compensation. Expedia was not much help in advocating for me.

I like that I always feel comfortable here. It’s quiet. The Motel Studio has a kitchen and a nice size bathroom. Very beautiful, very clean. This is always my top choice of places to stay. Rather it be the Motel, or the studio I always satisfied with the room and service during the day.

It's a very charming site and the location is great. Walking distance to lots of places. I like how quiet it is. The room is big and clean and I slept well, there was literally no noise at all. I would definitely visit this place again. The room didn't come with a little soap and shampoo like most hotels but it wasn't a problem bcuz CVS is very close by, less than a block away.

The check-in staff including Tyler always assists us and we now feel valued and respected. Thanks. Extra points if certain housekeeping staff members can tone it down a bit. And, newer towels would be a big plus!

I did not like the idea of having to provide ID for all guests. I had a visitor from another country and she did not walk with any ID. No other hotel I ever stayed at asked for ID for any other occupant of the room.

Not cleaned properly. Garbage was in the cabinets from previous guests. Saw roaches in the cabinets. The towels they provide are the worse I ever experienced at a hotel. There are so rough. I liked the set up of the hotel and the front desk employees were nice. The pool is the best part of the hotel. They really need to upgrade the appliances.

The plays was clean. Some of the staff were helpful and friendly, others were short and inconsiderate. We call the office to get the Wi-Fi password one afternoon and the guy in the office said the password once then hung up on my wife before she could make sure of what he said. I had to walk down to the office and get the password from him directly and he gave me a terrible attitude about it. However this was the only problem we had.

Worst ever

It was by far the worst experience I have ever had with Hotels. The clerk was rude. After seeing the room which was what was advertised at all I went and told them I wasn’t staying and they refused to refund my room rent which was close to $200. So walked into the room n back out and for 5 min was charged full price. It was shabby. Flat white sheet that was wrinkled as crap was over the couch. Shabby and run down.

When we got there you cannot walk into the lobby, 4 workers were in there socializing and no one acknowledged our existence except to point at the window which another customer was already at. There were cockroaches in the room, just leisurly walking around. The residents, and I say residents not guests as these seem like long term tennents, were outside talking loudly until late and we had to be up at 4:30am. The curtains were not blackout. Overall very bad experience and not impressed at all. Spend a little more and stay somewhere else.

Very quaint. The environment is extremely comfortable & I was very relaxed, I felt at home. If you are looking for a 5 star or upscale hotel, then you should go someplace else. It's very laid-back. It's a 2 story motel with all the necessities, including a fully functional kitchen. No issues to complain about. It serves its purpose. I slept comfortable, I felt safe, there are working cameras, the grounds is well kept. Housekeeping is available and the staff were helpful, polite and friendly. Most of the guests I saw were older and coupled up. Parking was not an issue either. Water pressure was great. They also have a smoking area, along with plenty of space to sit, relax and enjoy your stay. It's also very convenient to everything. Public transportation to airport is right in front of building. If you have a car that's even better, it's about a 10 minute drive to Walmart, Boardwalk and Beach. Not too far from downtown. It's in a very quite neighborhood. 10pm noise control, which I love. There is also a good truck on site. I will definitely return to Richard's next time I am in Hollywood. I recommend this place for both long-term and short-term stays.

Sorry! I can’t leave a good review!

Thought I’d give this place a try after seeing all the good reviews. Those reviews must have had a different room than I did, because no way can I rate this place a 10 of 10! First issue: You have to pay a $50 cash deposit for an actual key to the room. If you’re checking out early, you have to drive down the road to another location with the key to get that $50 back. Second issue: That key. It only operates the bottom handle lock, not the deadbolt. So if you leave valuables in your room, they are only protected by an easily-bypassed regular door lock. According to the check in person, the rooms are old condos that Richard bought up as the old people who owned them died off. And Richard did not replace most of theor furniture. Only the mattress was new, the rest of the place is a time capsule from the 60’s, with a blanket spread over the green couch cushions so you don’t see them. Yes, it has a kitchen and a fridge. But, if you’re thinking you will be able to stay and make meals here, think again. The cupboards are empty except for 5 soup bowls and 1 spatula. No silverware, no plates, no utensils. Nothing. Not even a sponge or soap. The windows are from the 60’s as well, single pane with no sound deadening. You’ll hear the racing cars on the main road out front, 24/7. No curtains meant the lights outside shined through the broken Venetian blinds all night. And to top it off, the hot water only lasted 7 minutes. Good thing I was by myself. 👎
