AVOID AT ALL COSTS !! we checked in and everything in the room was broken! Doors glued shut !we got the code via text well after 4pm which was the code to someone else’s room ! We stayed a night and got a call while out exploring that they checked us in the wrong room and were going to move our stuff without us present ! Phone numbers don’t work !! Came back and found cockroaches in the room ! They were not pamello bugs !!! Owner offered to exterminate our room the next day ???!! We checked out and Expedia could never reach the place by phone for a refund !! ! Ran down disgusting room ! Unwashed towels … mold and mildew !!!

The room was okay! Definitely not the cleanest, especially the shower, but this stay was on the cheaper side so you get what you pay for. Staff was no where to be found usually, they also didn’t give us a wifi code, but checkin was smooth and easy. Location was great, right on the beach / boardwalk which was so nice to walk around. Overall an okay stay, I would recommend it for short/budget stays.

The room was not very clean. The microwave was rusted and filthy on the inside. The outside area is not well kept at all. The towels were stained. The tub and shower were meant for a child not a full grown adult. It is NOT right on the beach. We were only staying 2 nights but checked out a day early and went to a very nice hotel for our second night. There’s a reason there are no refunds with this place. Staff near impossible to get ahold of, never answer the phone or emails. Parking is near impossible. I took pictures but there’s not an option here to attach them.

I never saw anyone in the office and no one answered my phone calls regarding questions. The front entry door had 1/2 inch gap around the frame.

We wanted to wake up near the beach and this place did the trick. The property definitely hasn’t been in its prime for a lot of decades! The courtyard was ok, needed TLC. The bathroom in particular needed maintenance but fit the bill for one nights stay. Some college kids were partying in the room next to us all night long. The loud AC unit drown them out. Convenient area, parking, and location to airport and beach. Not a luxury stay but a standard stay.

I arrived at the hotel at 6:15 pm. It had a cute outside setup, and the rooms were accessible from the outside. Very small amount of rooms. The office was locked! Apparently the office hours are 10am-4pm, but check in is 4pm!!! There were 2 phone numbers on the door. I called the first 3 times but no one answered. I called the next number which was a different property. She contacted someone to come help me. He came and tapped in a code on the door to open it, but it wouldn't open! He worked on it for 10 minutes and finally got it open. I hadn't eaten all day, but I was afraid to leave in case I couldn't get back into the room. The room was extremely old, but had potential. Unfortunately the floors needed mopping. My feet were so dirty after walking on the floors. The bed had a deep dip in the middle, toilet seat loose, blinds broken, tub rusty, and the list goes on. I would not advise anyone to stay here.

Seems there are several permanent residents that make the vibe a bit uneasy. Soda machine doesn't work & nowhere close to get drinks or snacks.

The shower towels were torn and stained, OH and they have cockroaches! They come out at night and get in your clothes, so nasty! I NEVER saw staff there, or they never once came to change our bedsheets or give us new clean towels.

Hotel staff sent a pre-arribal text that needed a decipher ring to understand. And then the staff didn't respond to my text about parking.
Disappointed upon arrival as the website lead me to believe it is right on the beach, when it is actually several buildings separated.
The toilet wouldn't flush.
While i was getting ready, my son laid on the bed for about 10 minutes, and when we left found 3 bug bites on his legs.
We were going to a 7:30p game at hard rock stadium, so couldn't really deal with it immediately, but when we got back from the game at midnight, we just got our stuff out of the room and got a room at the Marriott

There was still urine in the toilet when we arrived which led me to believe the bathroom hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned. There were flies and gnats flying around the room. This was a last min booking, so I booked it b/c of the cheap price and b/c it was close to the cruise ports, but with proper planning you can certainly find much better than this hotel at a decent price in the area!

Love the quirkiness of the place and it's only about a block from the beach. Bed was comfortable.

Great for one night, excellent location

I have seen terrible reviews for this place and I was a bit apprehensive but we are pretty low maintenance, we don't need much for one night before a cruise but at the same time, won't stay at Motel 6 or Super 8 despite our budget. Calvin was incredible, we got in early and he was still cleaning rooms but let us change in our room he was still cleaning and left our luggage locked up. This is a SMALL hotel, they do things a little different. We did not have bugs in our room, yes the lampshades were cracked, the water pressure was pretty weak in room 13 and no matter what I did the water temp kept changing and yes, the shower curtain liner had mildew stains. Other than that the bathroom and rest of the room was clean and actually that bed was more comfortable than the cruise ship bed. Ocean Inn staff, please get new shower curtain liners, easy cheap fix!
We would stay again for a night before a cruise. Small hotel, they do have a few rooms on the 2nd floor so if you have a lot of luggage, you may want to specifically ask for a room on the first floor. Literally 2 blocks from Hollywood Beach and the Broadwalk, great location. The air conditioner was kind of loud, which was great for us since we sleep with a white noise machine anyway but some people might not like that. We stayed on a Saturday night so not much construction happening across the street when we were there but I imagine it is a noisy location during the week with the new place they are building.

Nice little spot for an overnight.

This was just an overnight stay due to layover at FLL. I will admit I chose based on price, but was also happy to be so close to the boardwalk and beach. It is not a luxury spot but it was comfortable. I would not call it convenient for anything but the boardwalk and even then it is on the North end so a bit of a walk to get to restaurants/stores. Nothing to worry about really but if you prioritize being able to pop over and get a coffee within a 5 minute walk you will be disappointed kind of thing.

Unimaginable experience. Please read our review

We have never ever had an experience like we had at the Ocean Inn and we travel a lot!
The nightmare began when we arrived and they put us in a room that was filthy with dead bugs everywhere and drawers that had no bottoms. We said we can’t stay here so they moved us to their “best” room: more dead bugs, wet sticky dripping insect repellent running down the only dresser and which none of the drawers opened properly and more insect repellent inside drawers, no kitchen utensils for our month long stay, no hand towels or dish towels, no dish soap, only one burner worked on the very decrepit stove, a coffee maker full of black mold. The person (an employee) next to us smoked all day and night and our room filled with their cigarette smoke even though we asked numerous times for them to stop (it was a non smoking property). When we opened the windows two screens blew out onto the street below. When we opened the blinds the whole header and blinds crashed to the floor. The shower curtain liner had orange slime on it . One day there was a puddle of water flowing from the bottom of the fridge. We called the desk, left messages, sent emails, left messages in the app, talked to the maintenance man who sat under a canopy all day smoking and begged for help. No one responded. They were completely absent. Homeless folks rent the rooms on a regular basis and according to the cleaning staff the rooms get trashed. I would never stay here or advise anyone to stay here not even for one night.

The housekeeper is the VIP—he is the one settling guests into their rooms and answering questions, until at some point the office is open. The inn is located near the broadwalk and coffee/breakfast is nearby. While receiving instructions via email as to which room you have been assigned and the code to get in is all very “efficient” — most guests seem to arrive well before 4 pm and then have no place to leave luggage so at least they can explore while awaiting 4 pm. All staff was very cordial, and the VIP especially kind. Some rooms are lived in and an apparent disregard that there are weary travelers trying to sleep as you hear ranting into the early morning hours. Would I stay here again? They don’t seem to care if I do.
