    Rented a cabana for $58 right in front of hotel and Margaritaville. Awesome day!
    Angela R.

    The room was clean and updated. We had a microwave and fridge which was a pleasant surprise. Love the location on the Broadwalk. Next to Margaritaville and really good restaurants and bars which offered live music every night and good food choices. We will be staying here again.

    This is your complimentary bottle opener located in the bathroom that appears to have been painted over since the 1960s.

    Hotel Sheldon: You pay for what you get. And what you get at Hotel Sheldon is location. If you want to be on the boardwalk next to a Margaritaville Resort, and want to stay relatively cheap...stay here. Hotel Sheldon is just like booking a room on Duval Street in Key West. Its all about the location. Our room had no view, and we knew that. However I really should have considered the measurements of our room. I think their website even posts the measurements. Anyway, after a king bed, there isn't much room for anything. Upon checking in at night, the front desk clerk seemed to take joy ignoring us until she was finished doing whatever she does behind that desk. There was no one else in the lobby. Just be prepared to be ignored for a half minute before she says "what can I do for you." The day person was much more friendly and accomodating. There are beach towels in the lobby and an umbrella and 2 chairs in each room. In conclusion, if you are looking for a bed and a cheap place to sober up from a long hard night...just like on Duval Street...Hotel Sheldon may be your golden ticket.

    They say you can tell the age of a city not by the new buildings but by the ones that have been around and stood the test of time. This place is an older building that has been refreshed. Although the lobby and hallways feel dated, our room was a beautiful blend of the old with the new. This hotel is perfectly placed by the beach! The Sun rises right in front of it. The gorgeous beach is the front lawn. The building itself, although older, felt safe. You know it has stood the test of time. It's right near all the newest amenities and right next door to the popular Margaritaville Hotel, for almost a third to half off. Honestly, I almost didn't want to review this spot, and instead, keep it as our little secret. Enjoy

    Location, Location, Location. You walk out side and your right on the beach.It's right next door to Margaritaville. Ms Patricia is so helpful. The King deluxe room is my favorite.

    Not a bad little view if you get a ocean front The building is three floors The room is rated a solid three The Decour is kind of banged up scuffed up but other than that the bed is clean I don't see any bugs toilet is clean and I have a great view to the ocean price for hotel is basically for the location but I'll rock with it

    You can't beat the price and location! We had a great waterside view room and could just walk outside to be at the sandy beach or stroll down the Broadwalk. The hotel is centrally located along the Broadwalk and right next to Margaritaville where they have water park amenities and a fitness spa. Lots of great restaurants in the area! The hotel offers beach towels, umbrellas, chairs and boogie boards to be enjoyed at the beach. I found the staff to be generally very pleasant and helpful. The hotel is kept very clean. It seems that the hotel was renovated within the last decade but it is by no means a new hotel. Looking at it's history, it was built in the 1930's(?), this was a high end hotel back then. Bathrooms are small with little surface space to place toiletries, etc. There is no built in fan in the bathrooms and the windows in our room would not open as they were rusted out. So just be aware of this if you are sharing the room... The beds were nice and firm. The AC worked well but we had an electrical shortage when apparently our room and the room next to us were using the hairdryers at the same time, it was fixed promptly once we notified the staff. All in all a great experience and well worth the money. We would definitely come back! p.s. splurge and get the water view room, it is definitely worth it, there is nothing to look at on the other side of the hotel.

    King size bed, clean and nice

    Honestly.... It's not a resort. The front entrance can detour you but the overall room and attentiveness of the front door manager is amazing. Our first room the deluxe the dead bolt wouldn't lock so they upgraded us to the oceanfront balcony room. The room itself is nice. It does have a lot of sand embedded in the rug but what's not to expect when being across from the beach. The balcony made it a 5 star review for me. The people watching, and the ocean. I would come back in a heart beat. Check out the view, how can you beat it for 130 on the hopper app. With a 20 chair and towel fee and 10/night parking fee it's a no brainer. Just make sure to get a deluxe room or the balcony room!

    Small cozy hotel. Very clean. The hotel sits right on the boardwalk. You walk out the door of the hotel to the boardwalk to the beach. You have a clear view of the beach. All of the employees we encountered were very nice and helpful. The beds are comfortable. The bathroom looked like it was renovated. The air worked very well. The hotel is located right next to Margaritaville. There are restaurants and entertainment up and down the strip. I would definitely stay there again.

    Beautiful open atrium and lobby area. Door on the right goes to the boardwalk which is right on the beach!

    Hollywood beach is my favorite place. I LOVE seeing a smaller hotel in this area. The smaller places are being taken over by the huge companies. When we first got there we had a parking issue, and the man at the front desk went right outside and took care of it. Staff is very pleasant, rooms are clean and comfortable, price is extremely reasonable, and you can't beat the location!!! When we go back to Hollywood beach, this is where we will stay. If you're going on a cruise, go a day early, and stay here. It's a short Uber to the pier!

    We had an absolute blast at this resort! We traveled as a family of three - husband, wife and…read moredaughter (8) The resort is located right on the beach unlike others that are across the street or require walking. It's also situated right on the boardwalk so you can easily take a nice walk in the morning, grab a quick scoop of ice cream (like 10 spots to choose from), shop for souvenirs or shirts and grab a quick diner. This made our stay super convenient because everything we needed was there! Most of the restaurants on the boardwalk are more fast casual with lots of Italian options. This worked well for our family because 2/3 of us are vegetarian. We did find a really nice upscale restaurant called GG's waterfront and it was only a two block walk from our hotel so not Ubers were needed. This made our trip to be honest. We love high end restaurants with fresh/quality food and this check every box. It's also situated for the most incredible sunset. So make sure you go. As for food the rest of the trip - for breakfast we just grabbed a Sammy from the coffee shop inside the hotel and they had some good options. Breakfast Sammie's, burritos (pre made but they warm them), fruit bowls, yogurt bowls, you name it. Then for lunch we always ate at the pool an really looked forward to it. This friend shrimp was outta this world and it's served with honey mustard which was so yummy. Prolly some of the best fried shrimp I've ever eaten at a pool. The we always got the cedar salad which was refreshing and we all split it. The only thing I wish they had more of was a nice guac - I'm talking with nice additions and super fresh / tasty. Then for diner we ate at the resort two nights - once on the upper desk restaurant overlooking the love music so we could hear it but not be in the action. The weekend nights are a little rowdy for our daughter. We were able to watch some sports on the outdoor tvs, listen to live music, watch the FlowRider and eat. The food was not great to be honest but the ambiance was incredible. Then one night we ate at the steakhouse at the property. Service was weird just felt awkward lol. But the food was good. The deviled eggs were top notch and some of the deserts. For drinks we always grabbed a South Sode gin drink from the coffee shop. If you like gin then it's a must. And at the pool our daughter lived on strawberry daiquiris (virgin) and we drank 1 pina colada (so much sugar) a day and then switched to mojitos (less sugar). We loved all the pool servers but they could prolly double the service at the pool bc people were kind of always waiting. Cabanas - we got a cabanas two of the days and it was incredible. It includes credit towards food and if you get one with a working tv you can watch tv. The NCAA tournaments were on so we got the cabanas two of the days we wanted access to the to each the games. It was also nice to have space and shade to relax. Treat yourself once day and grab one. FlowRider - WTF this was so cool! We're new to this and it was so fun for older kids. Our daughter was (8) did it two days and loved it. The instructors are so kind and helpful to those trying to learn. One of the trainers is in the top ten of all FlowRiders in the US. I did see some adults doing it but with a bad back we didn't want to risk it. The rooms were nice and cozy. We had one king and then ordered a pull away for our daughter. We do wish that they had more rooms with additional beds for the kids. Even the suites didn't include more beds. We prefer two kings, or king and a pull out and last resort would be two queens. I think they could def make the rooms better suitable for families. Construction - this was the only frustrating part to the end of our vacation. The last two days ( during spring break ) they were door construction right by the main pool and it was so loud that one of the days we had to leave the pool. Just seems like a really weird time to do construction The other negative was the main pool didn't have entertainment any of the days we were there (Saturday (night) - Thursday). It would have been nice to have some trivia, live music, or something. Also, for anyone else wondering if Margaritaville is child friendly it certainly is. They have a dedicated pool for kids with a small water slide, waterfall and activities. However, our daughter didn't want to hang out in the "baby pool" so we stayed at the main pool which had older kids and some other smaller kids. I'd say a majority of the people at the main pool were older kids and adults. Overall we would certainly come back to this hotel as we really enjoyed our stay!
