Hollywood Beach Resort Cruise Port

Loved it, scary and spooky yet full of history. Guest rooms are clean, right on the water. Staff was amazing. We can't wait to come back!! Loved all the photos and old history inside. Don't change a thing.

Rented an AirBNB In this building. Room description was accurate (except it didn’t mention cockroaches) but resort description was grossly inaccurate. Resort must have been beautiful in its day but it is now a rundown, unsafe building and has literally been declared so by the city (see pic). Reception desk has been closed and there is now one lone security person in a caged in office running the show. Elevators are broken and guests have to use emergency stairwells to access their floor. Second floor sitting area is interesting and looks like a scene from a haunt movie, as does the entire rest of the building. Fire alarms went off 6 times the first (and only) day we stayed there. Because the building is now a vast abandoned shopping center (two floors of closed store fronts) but exterior doors are largely left unlocked and open to the public throughout, it has become a popular place for the homeless population to gather, both inside and outside of the building. I was confronted by a group of men when trying to move from the (rundown) outdoor pool back into the building (see second pic of the door area from the pool to the building). If you enjoy Ghost Hunters and want that type of experience, this is your place (but warning: be careful. Lots of vagrants throughout the building). Truly an intriguing building but not one where I want to stay on vacation. Just beware. Do your research. Be sure you know what you are getting into. We did not and moved after one night.

I booked November for #433 with AirBNB. Owners name is Matti. The walls were moldy and dramatically so in the bathroom. I left within the hour and in dispute with AirBNB since. Beware. Apparently AirBNB does not monitor for quality of the hosts. The owner denied any problem even though I provided pictures and I have a witness. If this room is moldy, this easily can get into the walls of the whole place.

This place has been so bad for so long. Everytime my friends and I visit the area we like to stop by and see how much worse it’s gotten. My friend lived there for 2 semesters of school and described it as hell on earth essentially. When I would visit there would always be homeless or drug addicted people hanging around. This place is a joke in the area. Everyone who knows it knows it sucks. Don’t rent here if you care about quality, safety, good price, or just about anything. But if you want a good laugh. Check it out!

My sister and I are lucky to survive one night at this horror hotel. Not only was everything horrible in the room, but in the middle of the night, after already deciding to leave in the morning, I awoke and smelled gas. There was a gas range in the room. We turned the fan and A.C. back on after a break because it was freezing and we couldn’t get the thermostat to work. That seemed to ventilate the room. But who wants to stay in a death trap. Didn’t get any sleep and got out as soon as the sun came up, feeling too unsafe to navigate the hotel in the middle of the night. But that’s another story! I definitely want a refund from air bnb. An apology would be nice too. It is truly shameful that this pit is even open to the unsuspecting public.

I recently revisited this atrocity with my friends as part of my yearly trip to the Hollywood area. Like my review from years past states, this place is a nightmare. I had a buddy who lived here for 2 semesters of school. He played football and all his teammates were bunked up in the “resort”. Now for a bunch of young adults partying all the time..it was pretty great! But, I imagine for the renters and vacationers it was anything but. The aroma of the property is best described as ********* mixed with years and years of neglect and urination. The types of people one may encounter during their I’ll-advised stay at this chalet include disgruntled employees, swindled vacationers, ************, drunk young people, and cracked out elderly folks. The carpets are stained. The walls are cracked. The metals are rusted. The elevators never work. The stairs are a slippery narrow nightmare. The security doesn’t give a damn who comes in or out and when. 70% of the building is an unused concourse of winding hallways and escalators that do not escalate. It’s really all quite astounding how truly terrible this place is. And yet, it has so much charm and character. It’s clearly a century’s old building that went though many different forms. From a hospital, to a morgue, to an upscale hotel, to a crackden that shamelessly advertises “RESORT” right on the front in bold letters. Thank you Historic Hollywood Beach Resort, for the countless memories, laughs, scares, and even the $20 I found near grump Gary’s that one time. Do not pay money to be here.

Don't be fooled by the old pictures shown on ******* and other booking sites. The reality was a giant slap in the face and we were not the only ones feeling that way. The entire resort is completely rundown, dirty and unsafe. The carpets are stained (vomit and the likes), the hallways reek of piss smell, pot and antiseptics combined. Old dirty clothes were strewn in the hallway for days. The bathtub was old and peeling and clogging the drain. The door doesn't lock properly so we had to carry our valuables every day and sleep with an eye open every night.The bedsheets and the towels were stained and icing on the cake, the cleaning crew left an old condom and wrapper under the bed. The neighbors who seem to live there, were fighting every night and smoking pot which seeped into our room then waking us up to their loud music early morning. Don't book this place. You're guaranteed to regret it!

Always a great experience here. Have been here many times. Great for a weekend away!! Came for a quick weekend with friends. You don't even need to leave the location. Great rooms. Good gym. Excellent bar and restaurant. Have to give Shericka a shot out as the most amazing waitress at Latitudes. Always welcomed us with warmth and enthusiasm. You're a doll Shericka!! Perfect beach. Awesome boardwalk. Pool is ok - very clean but could use some updating but with the beach four steps away whatever this becomes unimportant. There's a tiki bar next door that has live music which is so great for laying on the beach or when you're even eating at Latitudes. The beach staff is excellent as well. Ben , Dante, Shaun the men you want to help you on the beach in Hollywood Beach. Thanks for your help and care. Will always come back. It's worth a mention that the hotel offered bottled water all day as many as you want and free champagne daily between 2 pm and 6 pm. Thank you Hollywood Beach Marriott. See you again soon.

Just got back from booking a room through Airbnb. Don’t be fooled by the word resort - the building is run down, falling down, empty stores, and dirty. The carpets in the halls are stained, old and smelly. Halls smell like ********* doy and night. “Security” sits behind a window and not much else. Homeless & drunk people hang around the entrance and security does nothing. The pool water was about 6 inches below where it should be. Kids pool, hot tub and gym all shut down. Pictures posted are very outdated and misleading. Pretty much used this place to sleep - left everyday. Our room was clean and updated - only saving thing
