Hotel Sheldon Hollywood

First -- the hotel website states the renovations were scheduled to be completed by October 2011. Our stay was November 2011... the renovations are probably a good YEAR from completion still. The entrance was torn up and no warning of drops or loose bricks. The front staff might as well have been a self serve kiosk. No acknowledgement of any kind when entering the lobby doors. The elevator landing on the second floor was difficult to maneuver. The ice machine and vending machine are crammed in there. The rooms have keyed entry (no programmable cards - actual keys) with one push button lock on the door knob. No additional security. The rooms have ZERO usual amenities. Small television and the bathrooms are HORRIBLE. I blew the outlet when trying to dry my hair in the room. There is no phone so we had to use our cell phone to call the front desk. The beach chairs are the equivalent to bleacher seats for football stadiums, not at all appropriate for a day on the beach. The towels are old and frayed. The hotel left MUCH to be desired and if it wasn't for the location I would have left as soon as I entered! Do not be deceived by the hotel website description!
