A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We just returned from Hollywood Beach where we've visited for the past 10 consecutive years. We've stayed at the "Dolphin" for the past two-out-of-three years during our stays. We hope to return next year as well simply because it fits our needs. That is, it's reasonably priced and right off the Broadwalk. The rooms are clean and carefully kept up. Maria at the front desk was always there to help out if we needed anything. All in all, we'd highly recommend the "Dolphin" as a great place to stay while visiting Hollywood Beach”
“The rooms are clean and spacious. Staff is fantastic. A few steps away from the boardwalk. Have stayed here a few times and will return. Quality, price, staff....why go anywhere else”
“Stayed 6 nights. First night no blinds to block out flood lights from building next to room. Reported to front desk the next morning and we were told it would be taken care of that day. Still not fixed when we returned that evening and had to ask again. On 3rd night clerk placed a white sheet over the window. Not sure that was perfect resolution. We enjoyed the location and proximity to the beach. Room could use upgrades. AC unit was leaking and we reported. We stayed in room 8.”
“My family was in need of a place to stay in Hollywood for one night, and since we weren't renting a car, we really preferred to have something right on the beach. I scoured the Internet trying to find an affordable place near/on the Broadwalk that wasn't dirty or big infested, and finally I came across the Dolphin Hollywood Hotel. It was literally steps away from the beach and on a quieter place on the Broadwalk, which was so nice for nighttime, but it was still only a 5-10 min walk to all the action. The room was like a standard hotel room except it had a full kitchen (another huge plus!), a huge shower in the bathroom with amazing water pressure (but only if you like a really strong pressure…sensitive people beware!), but the highlight was the staff. They were so helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. I called ahead to let them know we would be arriving a few hours early because of how our flight worked out, and I was worried there wouldn't be a place to put our luggage while we waited for our room to be ready. They assured me they would hold on to our luggage and made a note in their computer about that. Well, the day arrived for us to check in, and while we were still at the airport I received a message from them that our room was ready early and to go ahead and check in as soon as we could get to the hotel. This was well before 3pm, so I was ecstatic! Everyone who worked there that we met as we were checking in and out were so sweet and genuinely kind, I was sorry that we were only able to stay the one night. I highly recommend you check this awesome little place out! We will be going back when we get the chance, that's for sure!”
“A great location, clean + nice rooms, and truly amazing staff. Susan was so welcoming and gracious during our trip. They provided beach towels and chairs, allowed us to store luggage, and consistently went above and beyond. Was a great local spot to stay and we will definitely be back!”
“I've stayed here so many times I cannot count. If you want to stay on the beach this is your spot. Don't believe everything you read! The staff is great, you can't beat the location and it's on the beach so don't expect room service and high cost valet parking. Expect a clean room that smells clean and a little sand here and there. I've never seen bugs inside, the bed spreads are washed after each stay. You cannot beat the parking price. This place is very personable, again with a great staff. Again it's on the beach!”
