This place is AWFUL!! Not on the beach as the pictures would have you believe, not in a safe area for a female traveling alone. The place is a total DIVE!!

Thanks for your review.....Unfortunately your review is BS because you never stayed at our hotel or showed up after our manager waited several hours for you to arrive...Our hotel is in a very safe area and we have never had an issue with any single travelers You forfeited your reservation deposit after calling us later to try and get it refunded and we refused so i suppose this is your way retaliating for this.....so sad when you mess with our livelihood....we value our guest relations as our numerous favorable reviews show
The fact the property manager double booked my wife and i room and made it as if it was our fault was quite ridiculous.The place smelled. For that price to have to leave earlier than what my booking dates were was ridiculous.

So here is real story.....we ask guests to pay a 25% deposit at time of reservation....you NEVER paid the required deposit after numerous requests by us AND promises by you via email.
Nonetheless, we still held the room for you despite having numerous opportunities to rent room to a guest that was willing to pay a reservation deposit (we have a great location 1/2 block off the beach and are always fully booked up!)....when you arrived late, you then attempted to checked in but "lost" wallet & phone on the beach and werent able to pay for any of your stay until day three of your stay (so do you think any hotels on the beach would allow you to do this??? See if you can do that at the Marriot or Margaritaville)...and then you werent sure you were going to stay for your full reservation period.....so we rented the room the last two days of your stay.....sounds reasonable to me given the circumstances i just described
So to recap ....you never put a deposit down, you had a sketchy story and then left the room a mess.....your story is just bs
Come stay with us again -- i think NOT!
On a scale of 1 to 10, I wish there was a "0". Even a .25 a night flop house has a 14" TV. Not the coral house. 8 in the morning you could count on the painting crew to start grinding in the walkway. In 7 days, did not see the owner to register a complaint. Talkrd to the maid in charghe and all you got was"I"m sorry in broken english". No amenites what so ever. Adevrtised court yard was an allkeyway that lead to rhe street. Left 3 days early and was glad to get out of the very misleading atmosphere of the coral house.
Save your money and sleep on the beautiful beachs of Hollywood Florida rather then waste your money on this 1930,s hotel. NO STARS is a compliment to this boarding house.

Really??? That is your rating?
You were "mad" because we had a outage with our TV's for several days (wait - aren't we 1/2 block from the beach and boardwalk?? - but you wanted to stay in your room and watch your TV 24/7?)
OK I get it (and "got it" from your numerous emails and phone calls - and our manager Rich was at the Hotel every day)
We try and make every guest experience special and have very favorable reviews by past guests on all social media (Expedia/ABB and Google)....your review is really a "point off the curve" ...... Oh, and our "maid" really appreciated your bigoted comment regarding her attempt to assist you -- that comes across real well and provides additional insight into your comments here.
We welcome everyone ...but maybe on your next stay to Hollywood you could try a Marriot/Margaritaville type hotel that will cater to you and your every need-- you will prob pay 3X the price but maybe that is a better fit
Owners were very nice and easy to get in touch with. Great location. The parking pass was a big plus. Extremely clean. Quiet little boutique hotel.Would stay there again.
"nice" feedback.....not sure what your issue was.....we try to make each guest's stay as pleasant as possible

I made a reservation online that afternoon. I got to the hotel about 8 only to be told they do not check people in on the weekends and that no one is in the office. I should not have been able to book it online. I had to scramble and drive an additional 2 hours to find the nearest available hotel for the night.

our "in person" check in policy is clearly posted on our website in numerous places. We are a small hotel and cannot "man" our checkin desk 24/7. We attempted to contact you several times after your reservation was made but you did not repond. In situations such as your we have a after hours lockbox service to enable guests to retrieve room keys and check in formally the next morning.
The Coral House was simply wonderful! What a sweet, romantic getaway! This historical inn is run by a wonderful, married couple that make you feel so very welcome!! The owners were very present, or were very available when anything was needed. The room was immaculate and just felt like home. The towels were super soft and cozy!! My husband and I had a very memorable vacation. I cannot wait to go back!!

Glad you had a great time.....come see us again soon!
Very friendly, helpful staff. They had extra beach chairs and equipment for us to use at no charge. The location to the beach and the boardwalk was excellent. We stayed at several other hotels and our kids liked The Coral House best. It's definitely an older hotel, but very unique.

Coral House is a great nostalsic stay!
It was a great stay. Location was fantastic to the beach, shopping & entertainment. The room an ocean view & was very comfortable. The only negative thing was a noisy A/C unit in the front room. I will book this hotel in future visits.

Cool.....glad you had a nice stay....come back and see us soon ! Enjoyed having you stay with us
The location is perfect! VERY close to the beach, restaurants and clubs!! liquor store and groceries at the end of street. The motel was very clean and the staff efficient and helpful. Area quiet and safe! We don't usually rent a car while in Hollywood for a few days due to the convenience of everything and the limited parking, so this is not a good motel if you rent a car!! The only complaint was the bed could be more comfortable and they could give you more than 2 pillows!! Otherwise we had a great stay!!
Great location, a block from the beach, and the people there were very friendly. The room itself was pretty small, but it was a good deal compared to other nearby hotels. I'd go back.

Basic, classic Florida hotel in the shadows of much larger motels. Clean, small room (room 3). Good location. No maid service over three days, for me at least.
location is excellent, room very small uneven floo
There is a big problem with parking, it was very up setting that they were chasing is out from around 10.00am
when we even lost an hour with time change 3/12/17, we told manager to stop doing it , then he apologyse
Motel is basic, but location is within 50M of great beach and boardwalk. Limited reception but arrangements for out of ours. Parking is on street at metered spots and being at the beach can be very busy.
Commend owner for "flying the flag" but very noisy at night in the wind.

Outdated, but had a view.
We loved the location and we had one window where we could see the ocean. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was nice. The kitchen area was ok, but had old stove. The bathroom was very small and had no shelving. I couldn't put everything needed in there. Also, no parking. A couple days we had to park 6-8 blocks away. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.
Nice quaint motel two small blocks from the beach.
I enjoyed Hollywood Beach and this motel. The owners are great people. There are tons of restaurants and shopping nearby. No car needed.

Convienent and clean motel
If there was free wi-fi nobody informed us, old property, goodblocation, close to beach and restaurants, within walking, NO parking or elevators tiny hard beds. Ok for a overnighter pre/post cruise
Coral House is perfect for resting because is a very quiet place. In addition, it is located very close to the beach, so everybody can get the sea easily.
The Coral House is in a great location. It's close to the beach and there are lots of different types of restaurants to choose from. And if you don't want to go out, the kitchenette in the room is excellent. Everyone was friendly and happy to be of service. It was perfect for me.
