Hollywood Beach Marriott

Breakfast was amazing! The location on the beach was perfect.

I had to learn about the extra amenities through another person staying at the hotel. There was free champagne daily, along with a free slushy daily. They also had bikes available for free. It would have been nice to learn these things upon arrival. I was three days into my trip when I learnt about the extra amenities.

The location on the beach is superb. The hotel was very clean and the staff was very polite and helpful.

The AC in my room wasn't working so my room never cooled and stayed a warm 79* all night. I stopped at the front desk in the morning and told them and they said it would be fixed. When I came back at 2:30 pm it was the same - still 79 degrees. I stopped at the desk again and they said that maintenance would get to it. When I returned at 9:30 pm it was still 79 degrees. So I again went to the front desk and this time she called maintenance and they came and fixed it about 30 min. later. Not happy about having to report this 3 times to the front desk.

room is large which is great! staff are super nice! location is super!

The restaurant is open to all. Since lots of outsiders come for meals, we the guest often ended up with no seats and waiting was long. I didn't like this at all, although I understand from the hotel's viewpoint.

Check in was amazing. Free champagne and very helpful with dinner reservations. Also they allowed me to late check out with out an additional fee.

Bathroom wasn't very clean. The fridge was too loud so I had to unplug and the coffee maker didn't work.

My husband and I decided to stay on the beach while we were moving my Mom out of my childhood home and into independent living. We loved the staff (we come from a Marriott family and my FIL was the President years ago) and everyone had the Marriott culture going on. They were all very professional and seemed happy to be there. The hotel itself is old, it was a Howard Johnson's back in the day. It sits sideways as do many of the hotels in Hollywood so there are not a ton of beachfront rooms but again, that is normal for this area of Hollywood. The rooms are decorated really nicely with very beachy decor which was really nice. The beds are amazing and so are the pillows!!! We really loved that there is live music next door at the little motel and we spent many nights out on our balcony listening to the music and looking at the water!

The only thing that stood out for us was that you have to go through the restaurant to get in from the pool and beach OR you have to go through the main lobby. I wish sandy/wet folks could enter through a more private door vs walking through with their towels and beach stuff. Other than that, this hotel is fantastic!

Great location to beach access. We loved the chair passes they gave us to enjoy the beach. The champagne is a nice touch. The room was clean and comfortable. The music on the boardwalk shuts down at a decent hour. We were very happy with the overall stay and experience.

Nothing.

Great location. nice pool on the beach. Friendly staff at front desk good food service and staff. The pool waitress was not so kind completely ignored me and would only ask other adults without a child if they wanted anything to drink which was a positive thing the front desk talked about that included kids and smoothies that my 11 year old was excited about. I basically had to say I would love to order something after she walked by me too many times to count. I actually gave her a large tip on a very small bill to which of course she then smiled and was nice. Pool is not big like it appears in the photos but still nice. would have given 10 had they also offered room service something that appears to be gone forever unlike the dreaded daily fees.

not great service at the pool and lack of room cleaning

We arrived at 11AM , and pulled into the front drive before parking. We were greeted with a smile and told our room was ready. I asked if the room had a view and was immediately upgraded to a room with a partial view. We were given dated cards for our free beach loungers , one free drink and our room key which is used for free parking. A porter unloaded the car and took our bags to our room. Our room was spacious and clean. The beds had fluffy white down comforters and 4 soft pillows. The bathroom was cleaned and smelled fresh. We immediately went down to the beach where our chairs and umbrella were set up for us. We walked on the Broadwalk and although the Marriott restaurant was ample we tried different restaurants for variety. The Marriott restaurant has a full outdoor venue which is clean and well staffed . Marriott gives you free smoothies through out the day and snacks from 12-4.including free water bottles. . The Marriott offers bikes to ride up and down the Broadwalk at no charge . We will be coming back next year

Nothing

Right on the beach.

I requested a room with a view of the ocean and a balcony and didn’t get it. When coming from the airport we called the hotel for a shuttle and the young lady said they would be there in 45 minutes. We waited over an hour in the heat and I have brain cancer and no one showed. We then got a cab, when we checked in the young man who checked us said we don’t have a shuttle.

The room was nice, we had 4 women so a little crowded. Beach and location good. We enjoyed the free bicycles.

I booked this hotel because website listed aiport shuttle, it doesn't have one. The pool is a little small for the size of hotel. The restaurant and bar were expensive.
