Mad River Holidays

I will definitely 100% stay again. Nice place. It was a good stay.

We had a nice stay. The property is really nice and so was the staff. The shower was excellent. It was very big. The pillows were not good and the bed was creeky when you moved but the sheets were great. The hotel was in a part of town that was not nice and they advised is not to walk around at night outside of the hotel grounds. The grounds were secure with locked gates and a fence so we felt safe. There were noisy people beside us the first night. They seemed to be fighting. The first floor had easy access to the pool and lobby but the second floor neighbors were loud when they walked around at 2:00am. There was also traffic and airplane noise.

The room was large and luxurious. The king bed was very comfortable and shower was large enough for two. They served a variety of pastries including almond croissants for breakfast. The staff was very helpful with purchasing event tickets and sightseeing. You can see the Hollywood sign from the pool deck on the roof. My wife and I had the best vacation ever!

Staying at this hotel would be fine if they were honest about the amenities they provide. They DO NOT provide a regular shuttle service to places near the hotel. We stayed two nights and the shuttle was not available during our stay (because the driver was off those days, we were told). They DO NOT provide transpo to nearby cruise docks—they go to Carnival only. We chose to stay here because we thought we’d get transpo to our cruise. They DO NOT have a private beach. They have an area with sand in it and some beach chairs that allow you to see, but not to access, the ocean. Also, neither the front desk service nor the restaurant/bar service was especially hospitable. If I had it to do over again, I would have chosen to stay somewhere else.

It reminded me of it’s Former self as the Montreal Hotel except they had an event at the pool the last two nights and they didn’t end till after 2 AM both nights. If you don’t like loud music, don’t stay at this hotel. Or request a room in the quiet side of the hotel away from the pool.
