The room was situated perfectly right on the beach with an ocean view. There was a bar area where I ordered two drinks one for myself and one for my wife. The drinks were pina coladas where we paid a premium price $31 but they were terrible. Use premium liquor and that will change. The beds were not comfortable. Parking was convenient. There are several bars and restaurants in the area but a long walk for children.

A absolute blast for us midwesterners. Super friendly staff. Beach chairs in the closet for our use was awesome. Being on the walking path was super neat I told my wife it was like staying on Fremont st in Vegas. Beach right out front. Sargassum was better here then the next hotel we stayed at , I prefer the riptide over the fancy hotels , so much family fun was had here in a couple days. Would definitely go back. Happy the riptide had music/a band every night , lots of entertaining people watching. Pick this over the big dawgs imo for sure. Thank you riptide

Beach view was great. Staff was friendly. I was not aware of the extra for parking because we didn't have to pay extra 2 years ago when we stayed so that was a bummer. I also thought, like most motels, there would be a blow dryer so I didn't bring mine so it was a hat on my head most of the time.

Clean room. Staff provided extra ice when asked for. Beautiful view of ocean. We were on 2nd floor in rm 14. Breakfast items available on site for a fee. Outdoor restaurant for lunch and dinner service. Live music in afternoon but ends around 9pm for quiet nightly atmosphere. Located on Broadwalk for easy access to everything

Check-in was very disappointing. We arrived before the 3:00 p.m. check-in time and were told that if our room was cleaned early, we could check in sooner. On top of that, our room had already been changed from the one we originally booked, which was frustrating.

We waited at the bar directly outside our room for over three hours. During that entire time, I never saw a maid or anyone cleaning our room. When I asked the front desk if the room was already clean and if we could go in, I was told no and that they would call me when it was ready. About 10 minutes later, around 2:30 p.m., they called and said the room was ready. I asked how that was possible since I had been sitting right outside the door for over three hours and no one had entered the room. They had no explanation and simply laughed. If the intention was to make us wait until 3:00 p.m., I would have preferred they just say so instead of making it seem like the room was still being prepared.

Unfortunately, the room itself wasn’t very clean, and the bathroom was extremely small. Thankfully, we only used the room to sleep.

The positives were that the bartenders were friendly, and the location right on the beach was excellent.

The beds were not comfortable. The air conditioner really was not good. Very dated. It was nice that it was oceanfront, even though the whole ocean was full of seaweed and looked very unappealing and my grandchildren and the rest of us wouldn’t go into the water. Dirty glasses. I wouldn’t spend more than a night there and we needed to be close to the port for convenience. I would not spend more than one night. The price wasn’t bad. Poor parking.

Location is AMAZING! Check in staff was wonderful, check out staff, not so much. Bed was good, room clean and its location was great, but being above the coffee /breakfast window, meant roaches(which I luckily did not experience until the last night). Was there 3 days. Room could use an update, but the TV worked, the shower was hot and nothing beats the lication! Might do it again.

We were very happy with the accommodations. The room was clean and has a small kitchen with a full size refrigerator, a 2 burner hotplate, a microwave and sink. There are utensils and pans. There are enough towels and washcloths. There is an iron, a blow dryer and even a lawn chair. It is right on the boardwalk and you can stroll to restaurants, etc. It is very accessible to downtown Hollywood.

Overall we were very disappointed in our stay. Upon entering our room, we found 30-40 termites both dead and alive along the window sills, flying across the room, and crawling on the bed. When we notified the front desk staff, they were very apologetic and did wipe the windows off but also shared that management had tried spraying for them outside the building (meaning they were aware that the room was infested with termites and still placed us there). The hotel itself is very outdated and in need of updates and repairs. The front door was very hard to close and lock. The bathroom door doesn't lock at all or even close all the way. The windows were super old and don't open because several of the locks were broken off. One window wouldn't fully close or lock on one side. There isn't an exhaust fan in the bathroom so any time you shower the whole room gets hot. The shower had a lot of soap scum residue and the corners of the floors were moldy. The air conditioner is just a window unit. It was dirty with the \"change filter\" light flashing and didn't work well. We asked twice to have a manager contact us and never received a response. It was also sargassum season so we had to trudge through several feet of seaweed to get to the ocean. On a positive note the location was nice and front desk staff were friendly.

Here’s a professional version of your hotel review:

I recently stayed at the Riptide Hotel and appreciated its beachfront location. Being able to walk directly from my room to the beach was a major highlight of the stay. The room was clean and included a small kitchenette, which was convenient. The hotel also provided ice and beach chairs for guests to use.

While the location is excellent, the property would benefit from some updates. The exterior of the building appears to need fresh paint, and the rooms, although adequate, could use some modernization. The bathroom was quite small.

The staff were friendly and helpful during daytime hours; however, services were very limited in the evening. After returning from dinner, I found that the bar, restaurant, and office had all closed by approximately 8:00 p.m. The property felt very quiet and somewhat deserted at night, which did not create a strong sense of security.

Additionally, it would have been helpful to have information available regarding local grocery stores, restaurant delivery options, and area attractions.

Overall, the Riptide Hotel is a reasonable choice for travelers seeking an affordable beachfront stay. If your primary goal is easy beach access and a clean place to sleep, it offers good value for the price.

Before I booked I asked about a late check in. They said to notify them and they would have a key ready. I agreed and booked the room right after. Well, I forgot to remind them until 7:30pm that day when we had a layover. I figured it might be in their notes but that was presuming too much. By the time I reached out they were closed. They close at 6pm on a Friday, which was shockingly early. There was no one to call so I sent an email. No response. One would think that they might be looking at their bookings that hadn’t checked in prior to closing up, and reach out to the customer. Again, that must be presuming too much customer service. I was still hoping for the best so we took an Uber to the property. No key, no lights and no one home. There was a sign posted with a phone number to call for emergencies after hours. I called. No one answered. Good thing they posted a line that no one answers. It’s was past midnight at this point. So, we went around the corner to the Marriott and found a very pleasant, very accommodating young lady who helped us book an accommodation there for the night. She said she had heard other people complain about the Riptide. Upon looking at the hotel the next day, I was glad it didn’t work out. It didn’t look like the pictures. Much more run down in appearance. I take responsibility for not confirming the late check-in earlier. I have to own that. I just expect a little more customer service from boutique hotels.

We were excited about Riptide since the photos of the rooms looked great & it’s right on the beach. The location on the beach is the ONLY positive aspect. They say parking is on site at $20/day, but what they don’t say until the night before you arrive is that there are only 4-5 parking spots. If you arrive late in the evening, you’ll have to park at a “gated” parking lot a few blocks away. By “gated” they mean an open lot with a simple crossing bar at the entrance. If I had been traveling alone I would have found it very dangerous for a single woman to park blocks away and walk alone in the dark to the hotel. The “gated parking” is also TINY. It was almost impossible to get our minivan in and out of the lot. The room was old and musty and not well cleaned. Sheets appeared dirty. Window is old- you can’t see the beach well (photos are deceptive online). Lots of people smoking W and doing other drugs around the property. We were in unit 28 which is upstairs. No elevator. No stairs on that side. Beds are very old/ uncomfortable. The staff are also extremely unhelpful. We lost an item of no real monetary value but has significant personal value. Once we realized the Riptide is where we left it (toddler pushed it under the bed) we asked if they found it. The clerk was less than helpful, obviously annoyed, and said if it was found, they would have just thrown it away (a book). I said it was under the bed so likely not even found yet. She didn’t offer to go look. Not a good place.

I would have given the property a 5-star rating but there are small things they could do to easily improve it. We knew it was an older property but we didn’t want to be in high rise. The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. We were on the ground floor and you could walk out your door into the Tiki bar and beach. It was nice sitting at the counter facing the beach each morning and enjoying our coffee.
The rooms are what could use a little TLC. Beds were comfortable. Our party had three rooms. When I say there are small things that could

Very close to the beach, was nice to walk out the door and watch the sunrise on the ocean every morning. The hotel(motel) is ok for the price we paid and being able to cook in our unit. We dont drink and never ate at the bar/restraunt. The bar gets very busy and loud as they have love music and karaoke like 3 days a week minimum, honestly this didnt bother us at all with the A/C running and or TV on you can hardly notice. The karaoke is pretty entertaining actually. Overall id give three stars, the cleaning crew needs to do a better job and used a vacuum as the amound of sand is maddening, a duat pan in the room would have been great, and the kitchen utensils were very bare bones.

The good, beachfront, a Tiki Bar and a good sized room. The bad, pretty much everything else. The parking was difficult, no ice machine, no in room coffee, the beds were too soft, it took the hot water a long time to heat up, the fridge was stuck on the coldest setting and froze all our stuff, I touched a lampshade and it fell off because it was broken, we booked a king room and got 2 queens. For $300 plus per night it was abysmal

Hotel is in a great location. right on the boardwalk and steps from the beach. within walking distance of many great choices for food and beverage. Room/hotel itself is very dated but clean and bug free! Folks that work at the hotel were very accomodating, friendly and overall helpful.

Parking is a challenge especially if you get to the hotel when it is dark when checking in. they gave me great directions, but it took a while to figure it out. then the tightness of the parking spots gets to be a bit challenging. If someone else doesnt park properly or an oversized vehicle is in a spot - Good Luck if most spots are taken. I did figure it out and did not have any issues but it is a reason they do not get a 5 star.

The location of the hotel was amazing but the room was dirty. We arrived after normal check-in hours and walked in to find stained bed sheets on both beds. The floor and chairs in the room were also dirty. Because of the late arrival time there was no one on location at the property to speak to about it.

Ok here's the thing. If you're looking for a fancy modern hotel, do yourself a favor and stay at Margaritaville down the street.
Hollywood Beach has an old South Florida vibe, in a good way. And that's what you get with this hotel - an authentic experience, so we loved it. It's an old building but it has been updated. Well it's actually 2 buildings and ours was away from the live music so it was not loud, but even so the music did not go late into the night. The area is quiet otherwise, since it's not where all the restaurants are. That's about a 5 minute walk down the Broadwalk.
Parking is $20/night and it's either right behind the hotel or in a nearby parking lot, no valet. The hotel provides beach towels, which are already in the room, so there is no hassle to request them anywhere. The hotel does NOT provide beach chairs or umbrellas, however previous guests have bought them for their stays and not been able to take them home, so those will be in your closet for your own use, which is pretty great. Our bathroom and kitchen were small but the room itself was huge, probably twice the size of other hotels I had looked at. Beds were fine, not uncomfortable. Full curtains on all the windows, dark enough so the sunrise did not wake us. The kitchen was quite old but it had a full size fridge with freezer, which was the only thing we used in there. Overall I would definitely stay here again. You'll love it if you go in with the right expectations.
