We come to Hollywood often. This was first time booking/staying at Riptide. Communication was excellent. My VIP status got us an upgraded room with an ocean view and a bottle of wine! Air conditioned room was large with a kitchenette. Bed was comfortable. Hotel is a bit dated but was clean. Ali at the front desk was so nice and accommodating. We got there at noon; our room was not ready. She held our luggage for us so we could walk the area and get some lunch. Our room was ready 1.5 hours later and earlier than check- in time. The hotel is right on the beach/broadwalk and convenient to everything. The tiki bar (their signature bar) located on premises was crowded and is obviously a hot spot in the area with live entertainment. Some reviews mentioned hotel bar was noisy; that was not our experience. Although we vaguely heard some music, etc, we had no trouble sleeping. There is coffee in the small lobby until noon. Ali gave us each a beach chair to use for the day. Overall, it was a nice stay and we would definitely stay here again. Don’t hesitate to book this hotel!

Meh

Two young ladies working front desk are exceptional. Location right on the beach is great. Drinks, food, service, music at hotel restaurant bar are great. Those are the only good things. Hotel exterior is in absolute disrepair including the door frames and locks looking like they've been broken into. Multiple things broken like switch on ceiling fan. Poor temperature control. Woke up with bed bug bites on last day. Stairs are steep, narrow, and unlit. Uniformed employees gathered around hotel entrance drinking. I assume they were off the clock but not even sure they were of age. Stay elsewhere if those things bother you.

The location was excellent and the view from the room was just what we wanted, oceanfront. Unfortunately the weather in the low 40s made the room temp uncomfortable with no heater. We showered early but had NO running water after 8 am, sink- shower-toilet. Nothing from 8 am until checkout

If you are looking for quiet, this is not the hotel. It didn’t bother us at all, tiki bar is right by the rooms, music stops early enough.

The view from our room was amazing. The kitchen was nice and the full size fridge was appreciated. Its an older hotel so it doesn't have some of the bells and whistles but it was clean and comfortable. Location and view definitely made our visit unforgettable

We loved staying at Riptide. We had a little hiccup our first night when we reached but they were not only able to give us a refund for the room but also moved us to the room that we booked. I do encourage everyone to please make sure you arrange a check in and have a room number available if you are planning on arriving after 6p as the office is closed and its difficult to get a hold of someone. There is only security there and they dont know room assignment. It is at a fabulous location. On the beach and with boardwalk and plenty to do. We loved it and will be staying again if we are in Fort Lauderdale again.

This motel is in a great location and has a tiki bar that faces the ocean. Those are the high points. The room was average at best, large enough with a small kitchenette. The bathroom was tiny, and clean but not spotless. The door to the room had a large crack at the bottom where it did not tightly shut even when the door was locked. There were several windows, two of which faced the ocean, but they opened onto the narrow walkway (which is called a balcony) so we did not really leave the curtains open as our neighbors were walking by regularly. If you reserve a balcony room, just be aware that it is not a private balcony. The tiki bar has only wine, wine based mixed drinks, and beer, but the service and the food were good. We stayed here for one night before a cruise and were scheduled to spend the night there after the cruise, but I canceled the second night and stayed elsewhere. Although it wasn’t terrible, I wouldn’t choose this property again.

Excellent location on the BroadWalk. The rooms are nice and roomy ~ we had an ocean front room and the view was absolutely stunning. The sheets were a bit thin and pilling and the door was incredibly hard to open and close (the bolt was sticky and we had to get maintenance to use some W-D40 to unstick it.

Old and tired

We reserved a room (rm25) for one night, but unfortunately, we had to check out early. The mattress was quite old, and uncomfortable, lacking support; this seems like an easily addressed issue, and it suggests a lack of investment in the property's upkeep. The rest of the property is also dated and in need of modernization. The absence of an elevator, coupled with the lack of assistance in carrying our luggage up two flights of narrow stairs, was inconvenient. The property is very expensive considering its condition, though I suppose the location is its main advantage. I also requested that the $15.00 resort fee be waived upon checkout, but it was charged to my card; I hope for a refund. I'm unclear what services the resort fee covers, other than seemingly generating additional revenue. Not a great start to our holiday.
