Good location to the beach
The room had a slight musty smell. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. Ashley at the front desk was very nice and helpful. The pool was a little dirty, but it’s across the street from the ocean so I didn’t mind.

The young woman at the front desk was super nice. Rooms were fine - dated but clean and roomy. We were there 1 night before heading out on a cruise. Quick walk to the beach. McDonald’s across the street for breakfast
And FREE parking on site.
The beds were comfortable and the room had a fridge/microwave.

Fine place if on a budget
If you are needing to spend less money and wanting to be near the Ft. Lauderdale beach, this is a fine place to stay. This little hotel could use a major renovation inside and out 100% but worth the money. Staff are very kind and hard working.

Hidden Gem!
Never judge a book by its cover. The exterior was a bit rough but the room was fantastic! The bed was probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in at a hotel.
Jackie at the front desk was beyond nice. One of the best desk clerks ever!!!

Everything was good. Only difficulty I had was trying to find a parking spot. They had parking behind the hotel, but someone decided to block the entry to the parking lot resulting in going all the way around to the exit part of the lot and reverse inward to be able to leave the correct way the following mornings

This was an old hotel, and should not have been priced like a new one! Seriously outdated and ridiculous room with long bed and queen in same room! Staff was courteous and professional but would never stay there again… needs lotsa of updating!

Always have a nice stay here, rooms are nice and always clean. Unfortunately I was in my room and a housekeeping lady opened my door without notice startling us inside. Room was already done.
