Great location on the beach. Lunch in restaurant great Rooms dated. And overpriced for a motel type room Lobby beautiful. Too bad rooms contradict Restaurant.... Lunch great....dinner not good quality and overpriced. No complimentary coffee in lobby.. even though water in rooms was yellow. Had to go off site to get coffee.. would not recommend to others. Sadly

That was next to the beach only Horrible by not having all elevators working right.mostly all the time had to get the stairs and it seemed to not care

I liked the location. Having the pool right by the beach was really great. The beach is great also. Be prepared to wait a long time for ONE elevator. I was on the third floor and had a stroller. There was never room to get on. I waited 15 minutes and finally made staff get off to let me go down. Also I suggest not going around spring break time. The beaches and hotel are packed with drunk college students.

Rude night clerk that greeted us. Old food in the vending machine that only take chaneed or dollars no larger bill changers anywhere. If not for the night clerk they would have gotten 5 stars from me everyone else was extremely friendly.

Beach front location, relatively quiet . Bed was comfortable and seemed clean. , . - Room was very dark, old beaten up furniture, - very small sink area and bathroom, - air conditioner was not possible to shut off or adjust, it was unnecessary noisy and cold in the room. - terrible pillows, used my own travel pillow - Kind of very gloomy depressing room. - very cold inside lobby and restaurant. weather was rainy but staying inside was even worse

View was fantastic. Front desk was excellent in getting our rooms near each other. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Guess the only thing I didn't like was paying $18 per day for parking whether you parked it yourself or used valet.

Loved the location. My husband and I really wanted to spend time at the beach and relax. Restaurant lighting is more cafeteria style and lacks ambience. Food was not good, burned & a major disappointment.

Location on the beach with easy access was nice. Also, I appreciated that they let you take pool towels onto the beach (at least I didn't see a sign telling you not to). It wasn't just the outdated room infested with ants that irritated me (not the biting kind; the ones that just seek out food residue). It was really the little things that pissed me off. Like in the bathroom, which seemed nice and updated but then you realize that the sink doesn't turn off. And the toilet paper holder doesn't fit the slots in the wall. Also, remember that their private beach is THEIR private beach, not yours. If you want to sit in a chair or have some water you must buy it from THEM. You can't bring your own. This is basically a $69 budget hotel in a great location which allows them to jack up the room rates.

Disliked valet parking and was also displeased to have to pay $15.00 per day for parking. I booked two rooms and was pleased with my view of the ocean and beach from my balcony; my son and his wife, however, had no view at all in the second room booked. Our rooms were clean, but had been told at the hot tub/pool area by others that their room left a lot to be desired. I would, however, consider using this hotel if I were in the area again.

Location was nice. Decent value. HBO. Large rooms. 15$ extra EACH night for parking is ridiculous. Had issues with charging parking to my room. Thin walls, can hear kids screaming. Rooms not as clean and they should be. Found rust in my shower. AC unit was noisy.

On the beach. Staff friendly. Shuttle van took us to where we wanted to go for a small per person charge so we didn't have to drive. Couldn't bring own cooler to the beach. Parking fee. Sheets on bed were a bit scratchy. Had to take a piece of paper and your room key with you every time you wanted to get something from the bar. Room key would have been just fine.

There really is no better location in the Fort Lauderdale area. A very standard Hotel, not luxurious, but the pool and the hot tub and the beach are fantastic. We've done five vacations here. Very family friendly hotel, expect children playing in the pool. This is not a quiet getaway but more of a fun time
-
3.1review from
The location is very good it's just some steps from the beach and also it has many option to go eat outside the hotel The security outside instead of checking who has a cooler going to the beach with beer could start checking for the safety of the guest on the pool instead, also there is no music outside in the pool area and the bar is not good at all. The American coffe matching was broken and the coffee was not good

This hotel is right on the beach on a quieter stretch of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, so it is good for families and those who don't want to hassle with finding public beach access. The room was clean, but a little dated (microwave, furniture just didn't look modern). According to a local, the hotel was torn up by the last hurricane so a lot has been remodeled (the lobby, elevators), but the rooms could use some updating. The concierge was very nice, the check-in desk staff were very competent but could be nicer. The tiki bar/pool area was closed after dark. The pool I get, but there is a hot-tub that would have been nice to use as the day cooled off. I was surprised the bar was closed, we were going to get drinks but that wasn't an option. Seems like a lot of lost revenue.

Very close to the beach...the pool and jacuzzi are nice ...great location centered around food and shops My biggest complaint is the mattress....way to soft....the tv is small ..The balcony door rattles..

It was an average hotel which was beachfront. That was the best part considering the nightly cost, it was decent. Nothing special. Rooms were not very clean: patched walls, tile work in bathroom with grout poorly covering up areas that were being worked on. Construction in the hallway kept us from sleeping in late.

Price and location. No sun at the pool except at high noon. And they charge for the spots that have sun all day. Bar tender measured a glass of wine out by ounce and said 5 ounces was close enough to 6! It's old and needs updating. Also, no breakfast at all. The little restaurant they had wanted $10 for only a Ham and cheese omelette. staff at the front counter was lost. The valet at the hotel actually did very good. Elevators were newer and nice also. And the pool was actually nice along with the hot tub. It's just they're going to nickel and dime you to death even charging for the only spots that have sun around the pool.

The price. The beach location is very nice. We were never told the pool was CLOSED for complete redo and only offered 2 drinks as compensation. The walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors. Also, surprise charge of $15/day to self-park.
