The Good: Price, location
The Bad: Expect $20-$50 in unexpected fees, expect staff to care less if you’re there or not, expect to have your deposit on hold for months after check out (literally there were multiple people complaining about this)
Overall - this is a great place to stay just have your expectations in line with the price and inconsistencies that you will encounter

$100 deposit that i didn’t know about it. Till now they didn’t refund. $20 for open parking and it was written available parking, and the studio was nott the one from the photo! Was a different one very noisy. Bad experience

Upon arrival I actually had a choice to take a different hotel that was 5 blocks closer to Johnson St so I took it. It was decent with new floors and had a mini refrigerator. Downside was being on the corner of N. Ocean Ave. I heard the traffic all day and all night at the times I was in the room. Service at the office desk was great.

The inclusive breakfast was very limited and the same each day- bread,bagel and cream cheese. The timing differ to what stated online, 7-8 instead of the advertised 7-9. Limited seating space, small area and short time. Definitely don’t cater to customers. Cleanliness in apartment was questionable with cockroaches seen in the bathroom.

Asked for 100 Deposit and said it would not be repaid for 7 to 10 business days. That’s theft

Sorry but this was beyond terrible. Badly in need of renovation, everything old, worn out, dirty. Blinds broken, floor nasty. Bathroom awful.
Check in 4 blocks away.
Luckily for us the lock on the front door wouldn’t lock, and we were moved to another property.

Did not like having to search/follow singe to locate check in desk. But Maria at said check in deck explained all available to guest and answered all my questions. Great facilities and great person she was to clarify its amenities.
Enjoyed all after settling in.

It was somewhat difficult to find the hotel, the reception is far from the hotel and they tell you that you can park in the public parking lot and it is not true. The floor in the room was somewhat dirty, but the beds and kitchen (study) were very spacious. The lady who greets you in the breakfast room is not pleasant or friendly at all. I give it a 6 out of 10

This is not a place to stay if you are looking for a great "room" experience. If the plan is to be on the beach our just out of the room, I highly recomend. We are a but adventurous, so we walked the beach end to end and then got a one day bus pass and took 15 minute bus ride to downtown Hollywood. Art Park at Young Circle was AMAZING!

The blinds were broken leaving space where you can look inside from the outside because there is no curtains on the back side of the blinds.

We got charged extra and kept awake throughout the night. Couldn’t get the service desk on the phone because “the phones are down” when they were clearly working while I was there. Wouldn’t recommend anyone get this place at all unless you want to sleep with dead bugs and AC that won’t turn off.
3.0 / 5.0
It’s in a great location but it’s a mess and the place charges extra fees for towels? Parking ? And anything else they can. It’s similar around the area but it is a nice relaxing beach at least..

The service is quick and nice.. The customers waiting are the worst (so mean and rude).

$58/day parking. Never refunded security deposit
4.0 / 5.0
The hotel is an interesting concept. it is really a collection of small motels, managed by HBH. Check in at one address, stay at another, breakfast at a third.
The complimentary breakfast was quite good. Bagels, cereal, raisin bread, coffee and fresh Florida orange juice.
The beach was one block away. HBH rent chairs and umbrellas.
Only two negatives. You need to ask for maid service. There was no phone in the room. Which could be a problem in an emergency.
But I would stay here again.

The place I ordered was already booked supposedly so I got upgraded to a bigger room so I can’t complain. It was a mission to check in though.

Overall amazing experience and would come back if I return to the area. The location is excellent for catching flight at FLL which is about 10 min drive. Beach access in 1 min walk and staff Angie kindly offered us upgrades and we had no hassle while Airbnb/hotel stay during the same vacation had multiple issues such as missing hair dryer while being 3-4 times more expensive and smaller size. Parking permit must be bought but it’s right in front of the door and convenient to access. Full size kitchen had no water boiler, pot, or utensils but since it was not included in original booking so I can’t really complain. The internet was very fast. Bed sheet / blanket was high quality and cosy. The management hosts multiple buildings in the area so check in was a couple of blocks away, but they have map and helpful instructions/tips printed out for you.

I paid Hotels.com in advance and against my better judgment I drove nearly 50 miles Virginia Beach solely because of the affordability. After waiting on line at a different Hotel to check into the Starfish I was asked for yet more money (Parking, Security, etc…) i told the receptionist that I was literally broke now until 3 am when Bank of America pays me. I had to use 3 cards to try and cover it. Then knowing I was broke bec we discussed it, she asked me for more $ for incidentals. I told her I dont have it and I drove very far and it was 9pm ish and that my Service Animal Jaycee and I just wanted to sleep. She said No Pets Allowed. I told her that she is a Service Animal and not a pet and she was ingnorant to that fact, and she would not refund my 3 day stay or the Parking, security and incidental $ back to me!!!! IT IS ILLEGAL TO REFUSE A K9 SERVICE ANIMAL and it is also ILLEGAL TO ASK FOR PAPERWORK TOO. They asked me over and over for papers and no pets!!!!

Hidden charges. Expensive parking. Never mention on the reservation. Adding all the extra charges is better to go to a Holiday inn or Marriott

1.0 / 5.0
A TRULY THIRD WORLD EXPERIENCE. First of all, when I arrived, I called to see where the check in desk was and some rude man answered and said “if you had read your reservation you’d know check in is at a different address”. The staff at the check in desk was then unprofessional with another guest (senior citizen) who didn’t understand their security deposit process - which after looking at my bank account, it appears he was right to question. They then charged me a second time for the room I prepaid and now I am going to have to file disputes with my bank to get my money back. Don’t stay here - pay the extra money and stay at a national brand.
