I should first mention that I was in Miami to work, not to play. This is an important thing to consider, as I had very little time to enjoy the hotel. I am most often simply at hotels like this to sleep, cleanse myself, and drink. Sometimes I get a chance to dip my toes into the hot tub, but... More

This hotel is located on the Hollywood Beach (Florida) Broadwalk--a wide esplanade directly on the beach where automobiles are not allowed. The Broadwalk is the best part of Hollywood. One side is lined with hotels, restaurants, bars and shops, the other side is fully commanded by the beach. The set-up is easy, quiet, architecturally pleasing, plus the lack of cars... More

Although Hollywood, may be the area of south Florida which time forgot. I had a very pleasant experience at this hotel while in town for a conference being held down the road at the Westin Diplomat. Hotel was slightly better then average, staff was great, and the beach front location was excellent although it is a public beach. More

Consistently bad service everytime I go to the restaurant. As a local they have the location and ambiance so it seems a good fit to go there for brunch or dinner. Unfortunately everytime I go, the service has been less than great. The worst offenders seem to be the management and not the waitstaff. Two thumbs down. More

Enjoyed the theme of this Marriott, just like walking around a Tommy Bahama store, and a little different from your usual Marriott which was nice. The balcony is tight but enough to get some fresh air and views of the beach as well as the bay. Directly on the beach and great walking/biking sidewalk! The bathroom door is.... completely see-thru... More

So, here we are at Hollywood Beach Marriott. Very crowded on a Sunday. We put our name in and watched as the person at the desk got totally confused as to who was already seated. He was replaced by another employee who seemed to be able to handle the amount of people waiting to be seated. Not so much. We... More

We stayed a few times and that's the only place on this old boardwalk that I can trust. The location and service is really good. All rooms have balconies. It's an expensive hotel but If you can get a good deal, you won't regret paying extra. More

Location is wonderful. We had a ocean view, and from the location of the hotel, many of the rooms have a ocean view. This property made me feel like I was transported in time to when Florida was a fun tourist/family place. The beach and the hotel are one. You walk out and you're on the beach. The boardwalk made...

But on our last night (Jan. 19, 2012), the desk clerk was obstinate about our using gift cards and and extremely loud band played all evening on the patio for an event. We couldn't even hear our TV!! We've stayed here many times -- it's actually been a destination for us. But this hotel is too small to have bands... More
