Sunshine Motel — Hotel in Hollywood

There really is no place like Hollywood Beach in Florida, where they have done a wonderful job of allowing the quality of the old beach streets to preserve without the crushing updating that the glut of high rise condominiums brings about. Nestled on one of the quietest, secluded streets in the northernmost part of North Hollywood Beach is a little gem of a motel called Sunshine Motel. It is very clean, quiet and updated, and has all the charm of an old 1950's motel. It is situated on absolutely a gem of a street only 150 feet from an almost secluded beach. There is no outside parking allowed, except for motel residents, so the streets are without traffic and void of almost any outside disturbances. There is even a beach shower and a shaded bench for sitting on the edge of the beach. From the Sunshine Motel you can jog, bike, or walk the close to 7 miles of undisturbed, traffic free paths which run right along the beach. Very special place, with a great owner, John and his family, who live on the property. Everything is provided, along with probably the best rates of any motel in the area. A great value in an absolutely...

We stayed there for about 11 weeks in summer 2019 and found it very nice for its price range. Sunshine Motel is cheaper than anything at the beachfront in the area while provides reasonably decent accommodation. The best thing is location, easy access to the beach, and not so many people on the beach (thanks to no public parkings). Neighbors (in the motel and around) are very quiet. Sometimes you can hear aircraft at Fort Lauderdale airport but it is never loud. And check the ocean at a clear night, it is so beautiful!

You get bed, sheets, water, A/C, and parking spot. Yes, you may find some black mold and, no, there is no room service at all but you can get easily clean your A/C unit and sweep your room on your own, cannot you?

You may want to check Jimbo's Sand Bar (about 5 minutes walk if you don't want to waste $5 for valet parking). BTW, they serve unlimited Mimosa and Bloody Mary cocktails on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

The management (nice and friendly lady named April) clearly prefers mid- to...

After researching value and water locations this seemed like a good value. After arriving I noticed the black mushroom type mold on the AC unit. Had I scraped it off it was about 3/4 cup worth. Second night, Exhausted from driving and work, I was dozing off and noticed Mr. ROACH heading across the TV screen. Turned all all the lights and killed three. Found roach killer in the cabinets where dishes are stored. Day 3,4,5,6 I was sick & coughing all morning at work. As Soon as I would arrived back to hotel it became apparent it was the source mold spores in the air. I kept windows open. I killed roaches every night. John (the manager) acted surprised when I checked out early? he must of been aware of the roach issue due to poison in kitchen cabinets. || Positive side- John did replace the AC unit with new on the second day. The...
