Pretty good motel

Although it is an older 2-storey motel, the management has done a good job maintaining the property: the furniture, paint, & carpets all look really new.
The front desk staff was very friendly, helpful, & professional. Upon check-in, we were able to look at several rooms before choosing one, & she provided directions to the nearby Publix grocery stores (both are within a couple miles: closest is on Sheridan St., while the other is at Young Circle). Later, when we wanted to move to another room, they moved our luggage for us while we were out for the day. Customer service is a high priority here.
Likes: free micro-fridge; free local calls; free coffee; free parking; large rooms; new, quiet a/c; & a 27†TV with 70+ channels. We would have used the free airport shuttle, but we had a rental car instead.
Dislikes: no clock radio; no tubs in the bathrooms; no laundry (although there is one within a 5 min. walk on the US #1) & we both found the breakfast to be somewhat limited. My main beef with the breakfast was the lack of real cream for the coffee; only whitener. I know cream costs more, but we feel that it’s worth it. If you need a more substantial breakfast, there is a restaurant just around the corner on US #1 that has bacon & eggs, etc.
Overall, our stay was good. We booked this motel because of the amenities, it was fairly close to the beach (about 10-15 min drive), & that it was located along local bus routes (although I booked a rental car instead). My main overall concern was the cost, as it was a bit expensive for a motel.
OK for the money

We have stayed here on 2 different ocaisions as a stop-over for cruises. Although nothing
exceptional, it is a pleasant 20 min. walk or so to downtown Hollywood, very handy to the Airport
and cruise terminal ( with complementary shuttle service provided). Although the establishment is starting to show it's age, the rooms are reasonably clean, staff is friendly and there are pool facilities. It's not "Ritz", but for people on a smaller budget it fits the bill just nicely.
