Hotolos Hollywood

"The first room stunk so bad of mold it was disgusting. The second room smelled fine. But, the door had to be slammed shut to close all the way. It looks like it had been forced open many times before. There were ants in the shower and sink area. There were no night tables beside the bed. So, no night light at the bedside. Don't stub your toe on the bed legs, my big toe was broke in 2 places. The thermostat doesn't work. The shades did not provide the proper privacy as they were both broken. I am a female traveling alone and this is a problem! And on top of all that, MY TOILET SEAT WAS BROKEN AND WAS NEVER FIXED! The handle was about to fall off, too. The seat was cracked in half on one side. I really don't appreciate having my backside pinched. NONE OF THIS WAS EVER REPAIRED. Not to mention the rooster crowing before 4 am and the trash truck at 4:45 am."

"This place is horrible. It reaks of skunk smelling weed, hookers and drug dealers abound at night, a drug deal went south outside our door and they were arguing about it. They free shuttle to/from Airport and Cruise port. It’s a lie. they advertise free Breakfast. it’s also a lie. When we called about it. They verified both. When we checked in they said check in the building next door. The building next door is a Hampton Inn which has no agreement nor association with them yet they send their guests over to eat Hampton Inn’s breakfast."

"Terrible experience. We booked a room a month in advance, traveled all day to get there and find that they overbooked and still charged us. Pretty glad we didn't end up staying there because from the lobby the place looked disgustingly dark and dingy. The parking lot felt like a creepy truck stop"

"If you want to be part of the filming of an episode of the hit TV show COPS! this is the hotel for you! Not for the faint of heart or families but if you just got out of jail with a section 8 voucher in your hand. This is the place for you. There is no airport shuttle or breakfast on site. Even the gypsy cab drivers don't know this place. The exterior is trending toward rundown and seedy. The rooms are dated but clean and comfortable but our room lacked a secondary security lock that made us prep for a room invasion. The parking lot hosts a vibrant night life complete with inchorent yelling, freaky music, and police sirens. A classic example of you get what you pay for. The only thing this place was missing was dumpster full of raccoons fighting over chicken bones. In all seriousness the internet listing is very misleading and your money is better spent elsewhere. There is a high potential for things to go horribly wrong here."

"Please use this as your cautionary tale to stay far away. I also read the reviews, but I thought, it can’t possibly be that bad. I was enormously wrong. My girlfriend and I ATTEMPTED to stay here for one night, primarily due to the proximity to the airport and our next day travel arrangements. We arrived. The front door was broken and stuck halfway open. The gentleman behind us in line asked the front desk for “a white girl”. Not that he was trying to find a white girl he knew, but that his preference was a white girl. I think you see what the implication is. The second front desk agent/security guard, had to unlock a door to let us through to the main complex. We went up to the room. I am certain the room was currently occupied by someone. Bed unmade and recently vacated. A trash can overflowing with McDonald’s bags. A dripping wet washcloth hanging in the shower. We called the front desk assuming the room simply hadn’t been cleaned. No answer. So we towed all of our luggage back downstairs. We explained the situation to the security guard/front desk agent #2. He simply said “oh I see what happened. Unfortunately we’re fully occupied tonight.” No consideration to our fully paid reservation. No thoughts of simply cleaning the room so it was suitable for habitation. Just, I’m sorry we can’t accommodate you. Considering the circumstances we handled it with grace, were assured that we would be fully refunded, and said we would sit in the lobby and call an Uber. But wait, “I’m sorry I have to lock the doors now so you need to leave the building”. Literally thrown out on the street with no ability to lodge paying customers. All this before I even mention the filth and cockroaches that were visible from the moment we walked in, but the cherry on top? It’s been 5 days and I still have no refund for a hotel we were thrown out of because they couldn’t clean a room or accommodate paying guests. The State of Florida should do the public a favor and demolish this establishment straight to the ground. An empty lot would be of greater service to the public."
