Hotel Sheldon”

This hotel accommodations was amazing. Had everything you would need for a stay on the beach. The person at the front desk ( Brie) she was very pleasant and friendly. The parking lot attendant kept the parking area safe and organized. This is the perfect beach hotel getaway at the very best price! The whole team was excellent! I definitely will be back to visit and share with friends and relatives. Job well done Sheldon team members 👏

Great location and value”

The hotel has a great location, right next door to Margaritaville and in the heart of the restaurant area. It's an art deco era building but the rooms have been updated nicely. Even though we were in the heart of the activity, we never heard noise inside our room. The staff was very friendly. I highly recommend.

The location was excellent and the hotel itself was clean and most everything in working order. Nothing fancy here... bring your own blow dryer!...but definitely worth the cost. 100% needs a sign on the back of the hotel. We wound around thru the one-way streets twice before calling the front desk for assistance in finding it! She immediately offered to come out and find us, so you know this wasn't the first time it happened, lol.

Great Staycation ”

We live in SOFL and grew up in Hollywood- we have traveled to many beaches and feel that Hollywood is one of the nicest on the list. The Hotel Sheldon is a older hotel ( 1930’s ) but kept very clean and the staff was very accommodating and polite. Bree at the front desk was so welcoming and professional. There is restaurants on both sides of the Hotel- Hotel Sheldon is located right next to Margaritaville where you can have a beer at the bar and on the weekends listen to live music at the bandshell. This hotel is a oldie but a goodie!
