CRA Programs Enhance Small Lodging Sector
Hollywood
has more than one-third of all SSL quality-certified properties in
Broward County
HOLLYWOOD, FL
– Hollywood is home to 28 small hotels, motels and inns that were
recently quality-certified as Superior Small Lodgings (SSL).
Fifteen of the local properties also received the prestigious Donald
A. Dermody White Glove Award for their perfect score for all
components of the housekeeping inspection.
Hollywood's SSL
members account for more than one third of the 77 properties in all of
Broward County that are recognized as well managed, high quality
vacation alternatives with 50 rooms or less. The SSL collection is
distinguished by the friendly ambiance and personal service with
certification determined by an independently conducted property review
process through the Florida Superior Small Lodging Association, a
statewide hospitality recognition program.
Since the
Hollywood Community Redevelopment Agency's (CRA) partnership with SSL
began in 2003, the number of quality certified small lodgings in
Hollywood has more than doubled, going from 13 certified SSLs in 2003
to 28 certified SSLs in 2010. The partnership was initiated by the CRA
in an effort to preserve the character and scale of Hollywood Beach by
enhancing and improving its small town identity with regard to
personal service, local ownership, sense of community and intimate
scale of architecture.
The SSL properties that received the White
Glove Award for exemplary professional housekeeping practices are the
Atlantic Sands, Desoto Oceanview Inn, Grenier's on the Beach,
Hollywood Beach Golf Resort, Hollywood Sands Resort, Manta Ray Inn,
Marine Villas, Neptune Hollywood Beach Club, Ocean Drive
Villas, Ocean Inn and Quality Inn & Suites, Sea Downs, Shell Motel,
Shell On The Beach Motel, and Tide Vacation Apartments.
