Cute spot we enjoyed the pool
ALEX
Check-in was effortless, and Pierre was very welcoming and helpful, great location which was only over the road from the European supermarket and local cafe, and also had great transport links nearby, which was ideal for all the local amenities and attractions.
Sridhar
No flexibility on changing dates. Horrible management
Mike
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.

If you’re looking for an alternative to the big, impersonal chain hotels, this is a terrific option. Owned and run by two brothers who are super welcoming, friendly, and funny. Since they own the joint, they were able to easily accommodate requests (I was kind of annoying by asking for an early check-in and then not really needing it only to then ask for a late check-out, which they graciously accommodated).
Upon check-in, Guy told me about transportation, shopping, and food nearby as well as entertainment options happening during my stay. The pool is lovely and I often had it to myself. Grab yourself some drinks and snacks as there is a fridge and microwave in the room but also lots of food choices in the area.
If there had been an ice machine and strong water pressure in the shower, I might never have left. (I don’t know if the weak water pressure was the case on the whole property or just my room.)
I absolutely would (will?) return! The brothers clearly enjoy what they do. Thank you Guy & Pierre!

For the price, you can’t beat this place. Clean room and friendly staff and just a short drive to the beach.
Sylvie
A great place to stay. The staff is wonderful, the rooms are clean and the location is great!
Will book again in the future.

Staff/owner was SUPER friendly. It's nothing fancy, ( and make sure you bring your own toiletries) but it was CLEAN and convenient to get to both Ft. Lauderdale and Maimi (take the Brightline from Aventura station a few mins up the road). Was plenty of parking spots/street parking around - and we left a few times at all different hours. They even brought be extra pillows! I would def. recommend this motel to anyone travelling looking to avoid the crazy high prices of hotels in the area.
Glen Robert
I didn’t think this was a suitable hotel as it is extremely dated

Neesha
The manager was friendly but the rooms were dated and not like anything in the pictures
Molly
Clean, safe room and great outdoor space. Pool is so close and beautiful, but is on a main road which is pretty noisy. I would bring extra towels next time.

Guy, the owner/manager, is very hands-on and personable. The motel location is perfect for me, as it's close to family, beach, and airport.
I'll be staying there again.

A great place to stay
Rooms were older but spotless! Bed and pillows were super comfortable. The pool was the perfect temperature and very clean. We had a great visit to the area and will stay at this hotel again.

Well kept grounds and pool area. BBQ grill a plus
Steven
Small private hotel. Clean, daily room service. Convenient location.
NORM
The owner of the motel greeted us last night. The hotel is very clean and a nice location. I would definitely stay here again.

Everything was ok but the room is very little and the price is too high for that.

Robert
Check in was great as he was very friendly and helped us with our bags. Just stayed one night and it had everything we needed. Only negative was a very inconsiderate neighbor who blared their TV late into the night. As older motel room was not soundproof.
Jeff
Perfect for my needs!

Great stay. Made me feel comfortable and welcomed. Clean and cozy.
Catherine
Very friendly and accommodating staff! Was upgraded for free and the room was very clean with parking being very close and convenient.
Nancy
The room was very clean and the bed was super comfortable! We could have used a couple of more pillows but other than that it was great! Not fancy but had a nice pool. Very little road noise which was surprising as it is on Federal Highway.
Carlos
Great affordable nice clean room
Small room, very clean easy parking very convenient great location and noise free, will definitely return.
April
The room's need updated bedding, pillows, they were clean but way out dated
Lucie
The place is perfectly clean. The outside area around the pool is large and super welcoming. Hollywood beach is a 10min drive, quieter but as beautiful as in Miami. Pierre and his brother are incredibly welcoming and attentive to the guests' needs (thanks for giving us a room with 2 beds 🙏). And it is affordable. This motel is a gem.
Dorcas
Manager was very friendly!!! Our stay was nice, friendly staff, room clean, comfortable and quiet. No safety concerns. Will definitely return.

Gem of a Place
Perfect place to wait for someone to get to town. Very close to FLL and a 15-minute walk from downtown Hollywood restaurants and bars. Pierre is great.

The owner went out of his way to find a parking spot for my oversized vehicle. He moved his car and parked elsewhere.

It was a one night stay and for the price it was excellent. It is and old motel but updated and very clean and in a safe area. Pierre , owner?, was very pleasant. We will definitely stay there again.

Staff weren’t helpful and the only way to reach them is through a phone infront of their office and it hardly works ( can’t hear well and they can’t hear me well
John
After reading many reviews I knew this was the place! We stayed overnight and it was simply amazing. Pierre was the best! So friendly and down to Earth. This place is the coolest, retro vibe for sure! The pool is pristine, the grounds immaculate and overall just wonderful. This is not a “fancy” place so if you’re looking for bells & whistles, stay elsewhere. I love unique places and this is just that. I cannot wait to stay again!
Kathleen
Friendly manager, clean property.
Robert
very clean reminded us of old Florida.
Denice
Great place to stay for the price and otherwise. The owner/manager and staff were all extremely nice and accommodating. It’s a “motel” and has a retro feel to it. But this place is extremely clean and rivals my experiences at higher end establishments. It’s obvious that the manager takes pride in this property and provides great customer service. I loved the pool as well! It’s in the center of the property and it was relaxing to hear the water everyday. Definitely will stay here again.

I boooked this motel based on the reviews. Take in consideration the motel is a bit outdated. However it is very well maintained, super clean. I have stayed in newer and fancier hotels that are filthy! You can smell the cleanliness right when you walk in.

Quaint, quite older property that has been well maintained.
