Where Do I Check In at Hollywood Beach Hotels?

Located right in the center of Hollywood Beach!

Our 23 hotels share one front desk. If your confirmation names one hotel and you are not sure where to go first, this page is for you. It covers where to go, what to bring, and what happens next.

Where do I check in at Hollywood Beach Hotels?

Check in at the Seagull front desk, 1915 North Ocean Drive, Hollywood, FL 33019. It is the one front desk for all 23 hotels, and it is staffed 24 hours. You pick up your keys and your parking permit there. The desk then points you to your building, or a golf cart runs you and your bags over. This is true whichever building name is on your reservation.

Go to the Seagull first, whichever building you booked.

Why is there one front desk for 23 hotels?

We are a family-run collection of individually named hotels on the 1900 block of North Ocean Drive. One desk means one team that knows every building, and one place to ask a question at any hour.

Every building is within about half a mile of the desk, and most are within a few hundred feet. The Swan and the Sunrise are about 100 feet away. The Seaside is 200 feet. The Ocean Sounds, the quietest building, is the farthest at half a mile. The property page lists the distance for every hotel.

What do I do when I arrive?

Four steps, in this order:

1. Set your GPS or rideshare to 1915 North Ocean Drive, even if your building has a different street address. Casa Pellegrino (2007), Silver Spray (2115) and Oasis (1803) are examples.
2. Go to the Seagull front desk and check in.
3. Collect your keys and buy your parking permit.
4. Walk, drive or ride the golf cart to your building.

Parking is on the property, not in a garage. The permit is $18 a day with unlimited in/out privileges, and it is valid until 11am on your check-out day. If the lot at your building is full, the desk sends you to another of ours, about three minutes on foot. The policies page has the full parking terms.

What should I bring to check-in?

Bring an ID and a credit or debit card for any remaining fees and the security deposit. There is a hotel fee of $17.50 per day, with Wi-Fi and light continental breakfast included. We take a $100 security deposit at check-in, by card only. It is a hold, not a charge, and it takes 5 to 7 business days to come off your card after you leave.

You also pay for your parking permit at the desk, so plan for that.

What time can I check in?

The desk is open 24 hours, so you can arrive at any hour and collect your keys and permit. Rooms are ready at 4pm.

If you arrive before your room is ready, the desk holds your luggage while you walk to the beach. Early check-in is subject to availability: from 2pm it is free, and before 2pm it costs $35 plus tax. Check-out is at 11am. Late check-out is subject to availability. Until 2pm it is $35 plus tax Monday to Thursday and $55 plus tax Friday to Sunday. Until 4pm it is $55 plus tax Monday to Thursday and $75 plus tax Friday to Sunday. Until 6pm it is $97 plus tax any day. Ask at the desk when you arrive.

What if I land late or come from the airport?

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International is 6.4 miles and about 14 minutes by car from the front desk. A red-eye or a delayed connection makes no difference, because the desk never closes. Our airport page has the drive times from the airport and the cruise port.

Where is breakfast, and where do I find the pools?

Breakfast is a complimentary light continental buffet at Casa Pellegrino, 2007 North Ocean Drive, from 7:45 to 9:15am. Five heated pools are open to every guest from 9am to 9pm, whichever building you stay in. The amenities page names all five.
