Cozy place

Purchasing through clarina, I didn't realize the extra fees that the hotel has. The people at the front desk were not the nicest. They have a $100 on top of $19 a day per car. The neighborhood is not the greatest, but it felt cozy in the room like an apartment without utensils. But it did have a full kitchen, toaster, coffee machine and stove.

Stay away

Room was tiny. It was not the room in the online photos. The room was so small the closet was inaccessible with the bed so close the doors could not open. Amenities ancient. The place was obviously cut up to create units. The person staying in the room adjacent was screaming obscenities at 3am and then was violently vomiting. Several additional fees at check in including $4.50 for ice!

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

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!
