Stayed for a few days in March to attend a work event in Miami Beach and this Quality Inn & Suites was about 1/3rd the rate of the conference hotel. I picked this motel largely based upon the positive reviews here on Trip Advisor. The motel is located about 1 ½ miles west of the 95 Freeway on Hollywood Boulevard in an OK neighborhood. The location is good for access to both Miami Beach (about 30 minutes) or to Fort Lauderdale (about 15-20 minutes).

The motel is clean, well lit, and well kept. My room had a medium-compact refrigerator, a small microwave, a safe for valuables, a CD/DVD player, and TV with an assortment of cable channels. The complimentary Wi-Fi worked fine. My bathroom was small and the water pressure was wimpy. I noticed that the key chain on the door was broken. The weather wasn’t that hot during my stay and the AC wall unit did a fine job. Although I didn’t use the pool I observed several who did. The motel is smoke-free meaning just the interiors – the outdoor areas gave plenty of evidence of smokers (i.e. including many of the motel staff).

The structure appears lightly built and I could hear everything going in both rooms adjacent to mine including the conversations and T.V. of my neighbors (who liked to keep late hours). There was also some light traffic noise all night – not a problem for me … but light sleepers take note. The breakfast was not what one could call hearty though I did enjoy the waffles you make yourself as well as the bagels and boiled eggs. I thought the coffee was pretty good but I’m not a coffee snob. There is a Dickies Restaurant across Hollywood within walking distance. Also, if you like to pick up your own groceries, there is a Publix and a Target only a mile away.

In summary, if you want a clean, decent, and inexpensive place to stay in south Florida with convenient access to the 95 Freeway, then this Quality Inn & Suites will fit the bill as long as you aren’t a light sleeper and have a car since there isn’t anything nearby you would want to walk to. In my mind, this is the kind of place that both employers looking to economize will approve of and their traveling employees looking to show the boss the right spirit of self-sacrifice without being a complete martyr.

The hotel is right on Hollywood boulevard, with some traffic noise. Ok rooms, try not to get 101 or 201 since these are right next to the traffic.

Basic breakfast with bagels and waffles, small pool surrounded by the rooms and open to the Hollywood blvd on one side.

A place to spend the night and maybe cool off in the pool, do not expect anything more.

What a PLEASANT SURPRISE!! We need to travel to Hollywood to visit a friend in the hospital and decided to make the event an "overnight". Typically we stay at a Hilton or Hampton Inn, but they were so very close to the airport and all that goes with the airport including extra taxes. Prior to booking our reservation, I contacted the hospital to determine if it were a safe neighborhood (living in FL for many years I am aware that the "neighborhood" can change drastically within only a couple of blocks). The hotel is located within a typical middle class neighborhood of renovated block homes and strip malls with small business - very typical of coastal Florida towns. When we arrived, I was very surprised with the beautiful manicured landscaping and the friendly staff. We went into the room and the it was immaculate, down to the corners of the closet! We settled in quickly and enjoyed one of the locally owned restaurants which we chose to walk to - "Guacamole's" - fantastic. We had a wonderful sleep, which is not typical when we aren't at home - our "own" bed is hard to compete with - but the bed was soooo comfortable. Normally, we have to ask for extra pillows, but they were in the room waiting for us, along with coffee, coffee maker, fridge, micro - WOW (in just a typical room)! We would not only recommend this hotel, but if we are to return to the area - we most certainly would choose to stay there again, over the Hilton.

Our stay at Quality Inn in Hollywood FL was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. We were told they had a shuttle from the airport to our hotel for $10 which we asked to reserve 2 spots. They said to call when we arrive and they would run pick us up. When we called they told us to take a cab because they had several parties before us and it would take at least 2 hrs before they could get us. They said it would probably be cheaper anyway. No it wasn’t. Cost us $35 instead of $20. The employee that checked us in had horrible attitude. Before we went to our room we wanted to reserve a shuttle for the next morning at 10am. She told us she couldn’t do that we would need to call in the morning to reserve one. When we got to our room it was not what I reserved 3 weeks prior(king bed not 2 queens). So I returned to the office and her give us the correct room. When we got to the next room the AC didn’t work. When I went to the office again she said to just play around with the remote. While I was there talking to her about my AC another customer came in with the same complaint. He later walked by my room and said they were given a new room with a working AC. After 30 min of no AC I called and ask for another room and she said they were booked and had no available rooms. I then asked her to send someone to look at the AC. She informed me she was the only person there and had no one to send. She asked me to come and get new batteries for the remote and see if that worked. Once I got the new batteries in and mess around with the controls it finally started up. We wasted at least an hour just trying to get the AC working with NO help from the hotel.
The next morning we went down for the continental breakfast and there was very little food to choose from and were out of several things. We then asked to reserve a shuttle. She informed me that we should have reserved it the night before and they had one coming at noon and I would need to take it then. I explained I had tried to reserve it the day before we arrived and the night we arrived but the woman said we had to wait until the morning we needed it. I was mad at this point and told her we had to have the shuttle at that time and was sorry that no one there knows what was going on there which was not my fault. She called around and found one to get us at 11, not 10 and would cost us an extra $10 each.
It appears they have staffing problems and problems with knowing the rules and policies. I didn’t expect anything great but spending an hour being shuffled around to get the right room, and the room not prepared for guest I wouldn’t suggest anyone stay there unless there is no other place to stay. Nothing is as it’s suggested in their information.
