Shell Motel Hollywood

L'excellente accueil et l'excellente collaboration de l'hôte. Très bon service à la clientèle.

What a great place to stay. I could not fault anything. The owner is amazing. 5 star Une très belle place pour passer des vacances ou la nuit. Aucun défaut. tout est parfait. Propreté superbe.

I have mixed feelings about my stay at this property. It is clean and well maintained and the proprietor was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, this is one of the most inconvenient places of lodging at which I have ever stayed. Their property shows that they have rooms with full size refrigerators and couches. After a long day of travel, when he opened the door to let me in I was shocked to find what could best be described as a cloistered cell. There was no full size refrigerator, no couch, just a bed, bureau, a small dining table with 3 chairs available. The room is set up like an efficiency, and while there was a two burner stove top, kitchen sink, and small refrigerator, there was no cutlery, no pots and pans, no glasses, etc. I had to purchase a small bowl so I could eat cold cereal for breakfast. And because there is no ice machine, I constantly had to buy bags of ice just to have a post-beach Dr. Pepper or cocktail or two before turning in for the night. I wouldn't have minded a lack of an ice machine if I could walk to a small store to purchase some, but there was no place withing walking distance. I calculated it cost me probably an extra $80 during my 7 day stay just for ice and another $50 for items I needed to purchase for my stay (cups, bowls, dish detergent, etc.). Also, although their ad on Hotels.com shows that they have laundry facilities, there were none that I saw. In all, it's a nice place to stay, but only for a night, not for a week.

I chose Shell Motel for it's convenient location, excellent, ratings, and fair/moderate/affordable price. I was very pleased with my decision. Shell Motel has a 70s vibe. They even use physical keys (not key cards). The metal key on a hotel key chain is a nice change of pace. The hotel is kept immaculately clean and it's well maintained. It is not modern, by any means, but that is what gives it that down home old Florida country charm. The old bathroom tiles (pink and black ceramic) reminds me of my grandparents homed. The heated pool area is lovely. I was pleasantly surprised at the excellent room service. The rooms are cleaned daily (this is a rare find for motels). It's affordablly priced and convenient to a lot of nice restaurants and coffee shops. It's about two miles from Hollywood beach. There are some nice places nearby: Pink Cafe (Coffee and donuts) Bayla Chillilimon Fusion Taco Beach Shack I recommend it with confidence and am planning to come back.

Stay was one night close to FLL. Attendant was friendly. Our only issues - shower water was cold.
