    Great! Would stay again

    Wifi in room 7 was not the best but again the staff were accomodating in giving us access to their wifi. As a couple we only needed one bed but the room came with two - no complaints as it meant the room was larger and gave us a place to lay down clothes

    Price for room in location was acceptable given the amenities. Location was great. Room could have been cleaner but was acceptable. The staff were very friendly although speaking spanish makes it easier! Parking it a little limited but the staff was very accomodating.

    No tables or dresser to set belongings on and hard to access outlets to charge phones, etc. Had to lay them on the floor to plug in. The courtyard has lovely tropical plants, but it could use some gravel or mulch in the bare dirt. The sidewalks and outdoor corridors need painting & the outdoor furniture looks threadbare. Maybe go to some thrift stores and buy vintage outdoor seating? With just a little TLC this place would be amazing!

    It was old Florida vintage, very tropical ambiance. The room was recently remodeled, comfortable bed and sparkling clean bath with new walk in shower & vanity. Really short walk to the beach with a great restaurant on the corner. Very quiet, thankfully just far enough from all the noise on the strip.

    Room was very plain, no decor whatsoever. Also, AC unit was very loud, but that may have just been an issue with our particular room.

    I don't speak spanish which is clearly language number 1 in that hotel, but some did know english so it was ok. The walls are super thin, i would not sleep without ear stoppers, so you could hear things from the street etc. The stay in the hotel during the week was impossible due to a huge construction site across the street. The Wi-Fi was pretty bad.

    I was there for work, so the distance to the conference location was crucial. The price was good considering what was around. The people there were nice and helpful. The room was fairly clean and well taken care of. They provide water to drink, beach towels and sun protective filter (lotion)

    The television didn't work well. There was no continental breakfast/coffee. For the price there should have been. The staff tried hard though. The place was very clean.

    My only gripes are lack of furniture in the room. It could use a lounging chair or a desk and a chair as there is nowhere to sit besides the bed. As for the bathroom my only issue was mold growth above the shower head (very common in humid south Florida). Not a deal breaker at all as overwhelming most molds are not inherently dangerous. Just needs a little bit better attention to detail when cleaning.

    Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful courtyard for lounging and enjoying the evening nights. Rooms were spacious and clean. Check in process was smooth. Location is unbelievable. Just a short walk to the beach and all the night life. The bathroom was better than a Marriott, very modern. I would absolutely recommend this hotel and would most definitely stay here again.

    No fault of the hotel, but the construction (new hotel across the street) is going in. During the work day-weekdays-it is construction... but that is happening all along the beach. They don't start working too early. I slept fine and slept in. No big deal-but there isn't a big entry or check in. I'm fine with that-but don't expect a marbled entry at this price.

    1) clean, comfortable room A/C not noisy. 2) half a block to the beach, one block to CVS and the strip of restaurants You get a clean room very close to the beach at a good price.

    The walls of the rooms are a bit thin, so we would hear our neighbors talking and the above neighbor was stomping around in shoes for quite a while in the evening.

    I loved how friendly and helpful the staff were! They provided me with a hair dryer for my stay. I love the beautiful design of the rooms. I love the beautiful courtyard with chairs to relax in and lights. The room was spacious and well-furnished, with a desk, stools, a closet, and a mini fridge. There is also a place to borrow a beach chair, towel, and umbrella which is very convenient.

    There is nothing fancy about the room. The office person was hard to communicate with as she speaks little English.

    The property is clean and the price was excellent for Fort Lauderdale. The location is wonderful.

    No amenities. No in-room safe. Construction on new condominium across the street from 6 am - 9 am.

    Excellent location. Clean, and recently renovated, with a comfortable mattress. Cable TV, with several channels, where many in the same price range, in the same area, only provide ROKU internet TV. Air Conditioner is modern and very quiet.
