We chose this inn because it was close to the beach and the airport. We originally planned to stay one or two days, we ended staying our entire vacation - 10 days. Even though we arrived after midnight, the manager was there to greet us and show us to our apartment. It was everything and more than we had seen and read on their website. The apartment was fresh, immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. They even had cut flowers from their gardens on our kitchen table. After a cup of "sleepytime" tea - they have a nice selection of teas and coffees in the apartments - we had a great nights sleep on positively the best mattress I've ever slept on. In the daylight we were even more impressed. The gardens are meticulously maintained and we were maybe 50 steps to the beach. In the ten days we were at the Oceanview, we used our car four or five times. They have free bicycles, and a one dollar trolley came by the front of the inn every hour taking us almost anywhere we wanted in Hollywood. Save your ticket, use the trolley all day, and then bring your ticket to the inn manager and he gives you your dollar back. The Oceanview is a green hotel (eco-friendly), so they try to encourage parking your car and not using it. We would recommend this inn to anyone wanting peace and tranquility in an island atmosphere, yet everything you want just a short distance away. Oh yes, we originally booked the apartment at a higher rate, the manager had a rate special, and he gave us our room for the lower rate. You don't find that often. We'll be staying at the Desoto Oceanview Inn often.
