The room was clean and we enjoyed the heated pool very much

Yes, I enjoyed the pool.

The room was very clean

I liked the friendly staff and clean peaceful space

Upon check-in, Guy told me about transportation, shopping, and food nearby as well as entertainment options happening during my stay. The pool is lovely and I often had it to myself. Grab yourself some drinks and snacks as there is a fridge and microwave in the room but also lots of food choices in the area. If there had been an ice machine and strong water pressure in the shower, I might never have left. (I don’t know if the weak water pressure was the case on the whole property or just my room.) I absolutely would (will?) return! The brothers clearly enjoy what they do. Thank you Guy & Pierre!

For the price, you can’t beat this place. Clean room and friendly staff and just a short drive to the beach.

Loved the owners ! So kind the pool was warm and the location was spot on. We will stay here every time we come thru from now on. Guy and his brother are amazing people. Love love love Nothing. It’s all great

Very good

Superb

The guys at the front desk are awesome. You won’t even get that level of service at Rotz Carlton, never mind a motel. They welcome you with a big greeting, offer water, tips on places to visit in the area - even ask about why your here and show genuine enthusiasm about your visit. You really can’t beat it. Not their fault, I’m a tall guy so I need bigger toilets haha. Again, not their fault.

Was a nice, clean place to stay prior to an early morning flight. Host was very friendly and accommodating. A great alternative to staying at a chain hotel!

Very clean rooms and great value always. Everyone treats you like family.

Staff/owner was SUPER friendly. It's nothing fancy, ( and make sure you bring your own toiletries) but it was CLEAN and convenient to get to both Ft. Lauderdale and Maimi (take the Brightline from Aventura station a few mins up the road). Was plenty of parking spots/street parking around - and we left a few times at all different hours. They even brought be extra pillows! I would def. recommend this motel to anyone travelling looking to avoid the crazy high prices of hotels in the area.

Brand new room studio They lied about the type of room..the show you a one bedroom apartment with a living room and a big kitchen for 200 USD for a night. I have been wronged at check in the check-in owner say , "we don't have that kind of room available anymore"and they give me a small tiny studio instead of the nice big apartment seen in the pictures. The owner said Booking are the ones who lied to me putting the wrong pictures.

This was just a quick single night stay due to a missed connecting flight. The person who checked us in was super helpful. Even brought a heater as the room unit did not have that (it is South Florida after all).

Great staff, very clean

Loud noises from the road is the big issue. It's like you sleep on the road itself. Also not a good isolation in general, you hear the other guests and the pool is like two meters from you. Weak stream in shower, no shampoo, pillows wes not good, towels are thin and not comfartable, internet speed was slow. Honestly for more than 100$ a night in this area and a score of 4.5 in google, I would except much more. The guy in the reception was awesome and looks like they have a good customer service.

Clean, safe room and great outdoor space. Pool is so close and beautiful, but is on a main road which is pretty noisy. I would bring extra towels next time.

Rooms were older but spotless! Bed and pillows were super comfortable. The pool was the perfect temperature and very clean. We had a great visit to the area and will stay at this hotel again.

- very friendly check-in - very clean - well equipped room - nice little pool in front of the rooms - well located to reach FLL Airport - free parking

Well kept grounds and pool area. BBQ grill a plus

As I pulled up to the Shell Motel with a AAA rating after a 4 hour drive, I was elated to see I had made a good choice. It was located close to the airport, golf, casinos, horse and dog tracts and walking distant to restaurants and nearby shopping. One of the managers Pierre, took my luggage and me to point out the heated pool and room amenities. I have stayed in major hotels that were not as spotless as these accommodations. I can see why they have received so many 5 star reviews. This will be my choice on my next trip to Hollywood, Fl. I would be hard pressed to list anything I disliked about this property.

Small private hotel. Clean, daily room service. Convenient location.

Check in was great as he was very friendly and helped us with our bags. Just stayed one night and it had everything we needed. Only negative was a very inconsiderate neighbor who blared their TV late into the night. As older motel room was not soundproof.

The room was very clean and the bed was super comfortable! We could have used a couple of more pillows but other than that it was great! Not fancy but had a nice pool. Very little road noise which was surprising as it is on Federal Highway.

The place is perfectly clean. The outside area around the pool is large and super welcoming. Hollywood beach is a 10min drive, quieter but as beautiful as in Miami. Pierre and his brother are incredibly welcoming and attentive to the guests' needs (thanks for giving us a room with 2 beds 🙏). And it is affordable. This motel is a gem.

Perfect place to wait for someone to get to town. Very close to FLL and a 15-minute walk from downtown Hollywood restaurants and bars. Pierre is great.

The owner went out of his way to find a parking spot for my oversized vehicle. He moved his car and parked elsewhere.

After reading many reviews I knew this was the place! We stayed overnight and it was simply amazing. Pierre was the best! So friendly and down to Earth. This place is the coolest, retro vibe for sure! The pool is pristine, the grounds immaculate and overall just wonderful. This is not a “fancy” place so if you’re looking for bells & whistles, stay elsewhere. I love unique places and this is just that. I cannot wait to stay again!

Great place to stay for the price and otherwise. The owner/manager and staff were all extremely nice and accommodating. It’s a “motel” and has a retro feel to it. But this place is extremely clean and rivals my experiences at higher end establishments. It’s obvious that the manager takes pride in this property and provides great customer service. I loved the pool as well! It’s in the center of the property and it was relaxing to hear the water everyday. Definitely will stay here again.

I boooked this motel based on the reviews. Take in consideration the motel is a bit outdated. However it is very well maintained, super clean. I have stayed in newer and fancier hotels that are filthy! You can smell the cleanliness right when you walk in.

I really like this place and when I return to Hollywood I will look to them first. The motel structurally is right out of the '40s and '50s: tiny room, small bathroom, minimal furniture. That being said, care has been taken to modernize and refresh as much as possible: fresh paint, updated fixtures in bathroom, cable TV. The pool, while small, looked inviting but I had no time to swim. It's obvious that much work went into bringing it into this century as much as possible while keeping the '50s vibe which is set in the motel's bones. It's clean and comfortable and the owner/manager was attentive. You won't find posh or a breakfast buffet but it was perfect for me.

We arrived much later than we expected and were warmly greeted and shown to our room. This property is a bit dated, but we expected that going in. It was clean, convenient to food, and very quaint! It was just perfect for our needs, and we would absolutely stay there again!

Small and quaint but no information in room. Had to call for password and figure out how to get back through gate after going to get coffee in the morning. Key doesn’t work in gates and no coffee machines in room. It was clean, though. Felt safe on main road. Pierre very nice.

The Wi-Fi signal wasn’t as strong as I would’ve liked it to be but besides that I had a great time. The bus stop is close by where you can take it to go anywhere.

Clean, comfortable, with a very friendly personable service. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again.

Very friendly, funny and accommodating staff - room was clean and had everything I could have asked for. Went to a couple of similar establishments nearby, and Shell Motel will definitely be my pick for next time!

Was checked in by Peter aka Pierre. Great guy. Very likable. Was not afraid to walk us to our rooms. Has nothing to hide. Can not help but notice the outside is clean tidy and freshly painted. Rooms are small but efficient. First checked out a few places that all started with same name. Staff were shaky at best and grounds not inviting. Everything at Shell was inviting

everything was great except Wi-Fi was going in and out all the time

Very nice owners, great location, the room was good sized and very clean. The only downside is the TV service kept dropping out and wifi was extremely slow, which I'm sure the owners will address since they take excellent care of the property. I would definitely stay here again.

pool

nice pool ,easy parking

Only one bad thing is Thé WiFI

Friendly & helpful manager. Clean room, small -but updated, would stay again.

Just like the other reviews i read, really clean older motel. Only complaint was the wifi really didn't work well.

Room smelled like marijuana no deodorizer seven offered

My stay at the shell hotel was pleasant. The room was a little smaller than I originally thought, but it had a refrigerator, sink with a dual stove burner. Microwave and nice sized refrigerator. The queen sized bed was comfy . I would recommend the room for a friend or traveler. The only negative I had was parking was limited. I will stay there again . Super friendly staff 👍👍
