DO NOT STAY HERE, unless you have been trained by Bear Grylls !!! The only reason I booked this nightmare, was a good memories from 5 years ago, when it was just remodeled and the owners and personal were completely different people.
Let's take a short trip to this Floridian pearl
First room number 11, was just unliveable, the ac during the day can't keep even 80 degrees inside,the stench of the sewer is unbearable, every single day you'll have a headache and sickness, as soon as you wake up in the bed with 100%synthetic sheets. You can neither cook nor eat. The water pressure is so poor that it is impossible to take a shower or fill up a glass of water in the kitchen.
The owner will respond you next day and show up two days later. After he will accept all issues in the room, "he'll talk with his partner about refund" and offer you to open the window in the bathroom and put the fan to get rid of the smell, meanwhile they will move you to another "best king room" at this property.
When the lucky day comes and you finally moving ( room number 5, in my case) you'll see the same fan in the bathroom, same small ac, which cannot cool down the "best room" from 1pm to 5 pm, BUT you'll have a water! Yay! A lot of water, even it's dripping out loudly from the shower and you have to keep the shower hose hanging down to not hear this annoying sound. When you get into the shower, after all adjustments of your friendly fan, you'll realize there is no chance to have a cold, cool or even chilly water. Nope. Do it with hot water only, don't torture the taps, just accept this life turn, place the fan In front of you and enjoy the refreshing breeze.
You can waist another two days waiting the owner who always has emergency and never shows up on time. The waiting time completely worth it, cause you can unexpectevely study Pro- level of gaslighting. Free of charge.
The absolute cherry on top would be sweet Marie, the cleaning lady. During the most of the days she will sit at her narrow dead end, like Cerberus, watch you and ready to yell at you, that you have to close the door faster, you have to close the door carefully (otherwise you will break the lock), you have to be quiet, if your phone suddenly rings outside, you have to shut it down, even next door kids would screaming over the tv, but you are the one who makes main noise. In the moments when you show her every single towel has hairs, she will cause the dryer and bring you another ones again with even more hairs... Remember, when you can't take a shower, towels are superfluous.
When you'll get excited enough to be in your lovely room, you can encourage yourself for the next challenge and try to squeeze to the patio to find almost forgotten peace ... If you are not professional treasure seeker, go for this adventure at night, it could prevent your sensitive eyes from the damage. But, if you are, and strong spirit of Indiana Jones moves you forward, you are more than welcome to find a hundred varieties of plastic bags, cups, empty bottle, colorful cans, neon stickers, napkins and other ancient proves of the human being everywhere and anytime. If you get tired after your anthropology mission, please, take your deserved break on the antique moldy furniture.
To accomplish your visit take a little walk around historic ghetto area and feel unforgettable vibe of Hollywood Downtown
As your priceless reservation won't be ever refunded, don't be upset. The building about to be demolish and the owners suffer from the upcoming hunger, even they already sold it, please, let them fill up the pockets with your money and don't make them spend any penny for a maintenance and your inconvenience. Just be grateful you survived through the incredible greed, rudeness and shamelessness
Good luck, my dear adventurer
