Hollywood Hotels with Airport pickup service

My husband and I stayed here just one night - a stopover on our way elsewhere. It's a very nice place and I would recommend it, with a caveat or two. The room was clean and quite spacious and included a mini fridge & coffee maker. The bed was really comfortable. The pool area is very nice. The waterfall in the pool is a nice touch. There's plenty of seating (with some options for shade), and lots of palm trees and other topical plants. There's also a poolside bar - if you can catch it open. Marshall at the front desk was really friendly and helpful, and Robin -our shuttle driver from the airport - was too. There's not much nearby, so if you dont have a car, you're pretty much staying at the hotel (or taking Uber). The only food right by the place is a Dennys and a McDonalds -and a REALLY popular coffee shop. Our only issue was that we found out upon checking in that the restaurant and bar were closed for the day (New Year's Day). We looked at tons of hotels near the airport for our stopover, wanting 2 key amenities: An airport shuttle and a bar & restaurant. We didn't want to have to go out for dinner (esp without having a car) - just wanted to relax at the hotel. We chose this one because it had both - but so did plenty of others. I understand them wanting to give staff time off on NYD, but then please make it ABUNDANTLY clear when you're booking that those amenities will not be available! We could have made a different choice had we known. We walked a bit over a mile to get some food (it was a nice day and we're capable of the walk but..)

Carleen upgraded us for us to get an early checkin which was a huge help to us and our companions. The service was exceptional as she literally welcomed us aa we walked through the door. She also checked the rooms for readiness and ensured we got settled in well.

Nice place to stay at with multiple places to shop and eat within 5 minutes of the place. It took had a great view of the waters. Staff very friendly. To really make your check in easy, use the pre check in before you arrive. You will receive a text with a link. Enter your information, payment, ID, and you will get your key card at check in. When I arrived I had four people ahead of me and each one of them have to provide payment, ID and sign paperwork. Probably took 15 minutes for each guest where it took 5 minutes.

Breakfast is American-style, simple and rich, there is an airport shuttle every hour, very convenient, surrounded by McDonald's and big supermarkets, very good as a turnaround
