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.

It was somewhat difficult to find the hotel, the reception is far from the hotel and they tell you that you can park in the public parking lot and it is not true. The floor in the room was somewhat dirty, but the beds and kitchen (study) were very spacious. The lady who greets you in the breakfast room is not pleasant or friendly at all. I give it a 6 out of 10

PLEASE DONT TRY TO TRAVEL TO THE ADDRESS LISTED! YOU HAVE TO CHECK IN AT ANOTHER LOCATION FIRST. If you dont have a car it is an inconvenience. The room was clean and spacious, really good rate... but the staff was the biggest thing i appreciated. The young man who checked me in totally accomodated me and changed my irritated behavior into a pleasant one.

Overall amazing experience and would come back if I return to the area. The location is excellent for catching flight at FLL which is about 10 min drive. Beach access in 1 min walk and staff Angie kindly offered us upgrades and we had no hassle while Airbnb/hotel stay during the same vacation had multiple issues such as missing hair dryer while being 3-4 times more expensive and smaller size. Parking permit must be bought but it’s right in front of the door and convenient to access. Full size kitchen had no water boiler, pot, or utensils but since it was not included in original booking so I can’t really complain. The internet was very fast. Bed sheet / blanket was high quality and cosy. The management hosts multiple buildings in the area so check in was a couple of blocks away, but they have map and helpful instructions/tips printed out for you.

Got to the reception and was told the unit I had booked was not available. they could not give me an answer. Told me they were upgrading me to an oceanfront sea view room. I was checking in at 2300. When I got to the room the front door was so dirty it seemed like it had not been cleaned in years. it was rusted. The wall around the door was dirty. the shower was dirty, rusty and moody. the roof in the shower was full of cold. the floor was so dirty we couldn't take our shoes off. as it was quite late at night trying to find a different place to stay was out of the question. they should not be letting people stay in that place

Thieves

I paid Hotels.com in advance and against my better judgment I drove nearly 50 miles Virginia Beach solely because of the affordability. After waiting on line at a different Hotel to check into the Starfish I was asked for yet more money (Parking, Security, etc…) i told the receptionist that I was literally broke now until 3 am when Bank of America pays me. I had to use 3 cards to try and cover it. Then knowing I was broke bec we discussed it, she asked me for more $ for incidentals. I told her I dont have it and I drove very far and it was 9pm ish and that my Service Animal Jaycee and I just wanted to sleep. She said No Pets Allowed. I told her that she is a Service Animal and not a pet and she was ingnorant to that fact, and she would not refund my 3 day stay or the Parking, security and incidental $ back to me!!!! IT IS ILLEGAL TO REFUSE A K9 SERVICE ANIMAL and it is also ILLEGAL TO ASK FOR PAPERWORK TOO. They asked me over and over for papers and no pets!!!!

Horrible place, rude stay, scammers

Check in took almost an hour. There are 26 buildings/hotels all owned by Hollywood Beach Hotels, the check in lobby is 4 blocks away from the Starfish in a different hotel. Parking is only guaranteed in one of their marked spots, I had to park blocks away one night. Breakfast is served in a different hotel two blocks away from the check in motel and from the Starfish, the entrance is on a side street so you must venture around to find it. The seating is outside, the food is served in a little room that is not handicapped accessible, when leaving we noticed they were storing and preparing food in the bathroom. The tables and chairs were covered with water from the rain, fortunately the weather was favorable and we didn’t have to in the rain. We had to clean our own tables as did the other guests. Our key didn’t work after one day, we stayed 3, due to their mistake, each day I had to go get the key redone, each day we were locked out, each day we had to walk the 4 blocks to resolve the issue, one day twice. With the exception of one staff member, they all were rude and condescending. We didn’t encounter one satisfied traveler, each complaining about the same things mentioned above. There are several hidden fees, read the fine print well. The room itself was old and outdated, not filthy but not clean. There was a short in the light, you could have either the ceiling fan one or the light on. The the room itself is inadequately cooled by a window unit. You’ve been warned. Avoid it

I arrived and was put in a completely different room than I had booked and the staff is very rude. Complimentary breakfast consisted of coffee, cereal, bagels and fruit with no actual breakfast meals offered. The room after examination had lots of cob job work done to it and was not very accommodating to me and the TV has an Amazon firestick with random people signed in. Bathroom also had an odor and was not very clean after initial check in. The hotel does have a store but everything is ridiculously expensive. Do not recommend. Keep looking if you're looking to enjoy your stay at the beach.

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!
