We had stayed in Hollywood in 2007 at the Marriott, before and after a cruise, and while the larger hotel was really nice, it wasn't homey and relaxing enough for a longer stay. While we were there we took pictures of some of the different beach front motels (and I do mean beach front), and checked reviews when we got... more

I stayed at the Sea Downs, and from reading other reviews of this motel and location on the broadwalk, I was already excited before I even got there. And then, when I arrived, it was even better than I had imagined. It was unbelievable to me to be able to have a room RIGHT ON THE BEACH, and for such... more

From all of the previous reviews of this site my family and I were prepared for a great time at a 'nice' hotel. Although not filthy, the room we were in was in need of a professional makeover/update. The view was a million dollars which over came most of our disappointments and we think the mngmt. knows this (thus the... more

Recently spent a 4 day weekend at the SEA DOWNS and were very pleased with our accommodations and location right on the Hollywood Broadwalk. We had an oceanfront view..Very Nice!! Things to know... The proprietors do not accept credit card reservations and either require cash or check deposit ($200 min) or full amount depending on arrival date... Leave your computer... more

We stayed at Bougainvillea for seven days before Easter. The service is wonderful and the facility is clean and new. We have two active kids (7 and 10) who spent a lot of time in the heated pool and at the beach across the walk. It's a fabulous location and is a great value for family. Next time we will... more

We stayed 7 nights at the Sea Downs in Hollywood Beach, Florida and absolutely loved it. We were really hesitant about staying so close to the Broadwalk, but it was wonderful. The Sea Downs has a nice patio in the front of the property that allows you to sit and relax and comfortably watch the ocean, the people, and the... more

I have stayed at both the Sea Downs and the Bougainvillea and prefer the Bougainvillea even though it is not right on the beach. It's only a few steps from the beach and you have a nicely landscaped area in front of your room to get some sun. My room was very clean and had what looked like a new... more

I have just returned home from a week in a one-bedroon unit at the Bougainvillea. It lies across Surf Road (really only 20 feet wide and zero traffic) from the Tides, so it's just a few steps from the Broadwalk. As others have said, these owners keep very clean and tidy lodgings. The bathroom and full kitchen facilities appeared to... more

The Tides, which is owned by the same German woman who owns the Sea Downs and Bougainvillea, is right on the beach in the northernmost end of Hollywood. The location is perfect because it's away from the crowded commercial part of Hollywood. We stayed on the 2nd floor in a studio with separate bedroom (with a queen and single bed),... more
