Fort Lauderdale Motels

Good value, comfortable & clean bed, pleasant landscaping, and large room compensated for the aging property & worn fixtures. Air cond. worked well, shower was good, mini-fridge and microwave were bonuses.

Staff seemed defensive in applying a commonplace hold on credit card for possible damages.

It's a few blocks from the beach and there are few options for dining in the immediate area. But there is a city bus stop on the A1A road and restaurants within a half mile. Also watch for the free/cheap trolly that can get you around.

We were early and were well accommodated. The front desk clerk told us about places to eat and shopping. She even helped carry our luggage. The room was sparkling and comfortable, and had eco friendly soap. Located near beach, and not far from the mall.

Only minor thing (not even an issue) is the toilet ran a lot after flushing.

I would consider giving it another star.

location and staff

parking

great location wonderful staff

The cleanliness, especially in the bathroom. Also the repair the elevator.

The elevator damage and the bathroom cleaners.

Is good for the price, actually is the cheapest hotel in the area, the room has a good space, and the bed is good, but the bathroom need to be clean better, the shower has a lot of mug, and the shower linel also. But if you look for good localization and cheap price, this is the hotel that you need.

I read the reviews before booking, and they were spot on. It's an older building, needs maintenance in a few areas, but it was extremely clean. The bed was very comfortable and towels and linens looked new. The manager was great.

No complaints.

The water pressure in the shower was amazing, No wonder the shower is so clean. It gets power washed every shower. The location is very close to the airport, less than 2 miles. This was an easy ride for our very early flight.

At first it seemed to be in a bad location, but it was very quiet inside the room. The owner had to buzz us in to the reception area which kind of frightened me. I thought the bed was comfortable but my husband did not.

I expected the motel to be a little nicer by the good reviews. I would not stay here for vacation. If you have an early flight this is ok for that.

Garden area was nice, somewhat quite. Quick to beach and boardwalk.

They charged me for parking...really!! Who else would have parked in there private spots but 'we' the customers.. bastards!! Construction was noisy in the area also.

Friendly, helpful staff. Clean, cozy room. Great location to the beach.

Great location!! Small and definitely worn in, but reminded me of the beach hotels of my childhood, clean and quiet.

Could use some additional parking areas.

Over all this hotel was great for our purposes, clean rooms quiet area and courteous staff. I will say if your looking for the ritz at this price point this isn't it, it is obviously an older hotel with some wear and tear but the staff is constantly painting to ensure things look presentable. It has an amazing location for the price point, 2 blocks from the beach. Seems family owned and is kind of no frills but makes you feel like your at the beach for sure. We will definitely stay here again!!

we didn't even stay once we saw the room we ran.

it was a dirty motel not a hotel, there was no real lobby, just a guy in a room that you have to get buzzed into & the guy working there said "should I be expecting 10 or 20 of you" before he saw our out of state lisences, like locals use it just to throw gross parties. it was smelly & people were smoking inside, there were homeless people hanging out in the parking lot, you could not pay me to even sit on the bed or ever walk back in there. and the women on the phone lied to us in a hundred different ways, I will not use kayak again.

I have no problem with some of the staff, i just find 3 people nice in there

well.... the 1st night I found cockroaches, and a hole on the floor cover with a tape, so I ask to move to another room then after a discussion with the front desk women she find me another room, 2dn room was with moving toilet and a murder next door....police when all day long at there .... breakfast was ok not a big deal... so so i just have coffe only

Unfortunately I cannot judge the hotel adequately at the moment as I had beg bug attack in it.

Everything went fine until the last day, when I woke up with bytes on my body. I was victim of a bed bugs attack, and this was confirmed also by the hotel owner after checking the room.

At first I thought they were mosquito bytes, but during the afternoon I realized I had them everywere (around 100 bites all over my body). During the same evening number was not increasing but bites seemed to get bigger and very itchy, so I went to the Emergency room where they told me it could have been bed bug bytes and gave me medication and told me to wash all my clothes. Since I am a foreigner I had to pay a bill of 137 USD (which I will partially be able to get reimbursed through the insurance done for the trip). When I went back to the hotel, even if I already had the room changed, I asked them to sleep on a deckchair since I may had already put my possible infected...

Our room was large but I did not care but I did not care for the way it was designed. The kitchenette had a sink that served as the sink for the entire room - no bathroom sink. It was clean, but I would probably choose another place in the future.

location was ok.

Staff was not too helpful and slow to respond. Waited 2 hrs to be moved to another room.

The hotel is ok for the price, I will not stay there again.

The cable tv is awful. The quality is poor. The channel lineup consists of only 12 channels.

location

hotel room; refrigerator sitting on chair with a phone book under the refrigerator to keep it level.

Great location, just steps away from the beach. Ocean view room delivered the view. Snooze also proved beach chairs and a beach umbrella -- unexpected bonus!

Only drawback (but, they are working on this one): no ice machine, yet. Soon, they say.

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights and loved every second of it. It's a newly renovated, modern hotel. While we were there they were working on the roof and we're very excited to come back and use that next year. The porch area they have now is small, but awesome. We were able to sit in the chairs everyday. they also give you free wifi access which will reach to the beach! it's slow since they're so much usage, but that's more than most of the other hotels give you. You also get chairs, towels, and umbrellas for free! Everything you need on vacation but food is right there! Joe and the owner Robert were there every day and made sure we knew they were available for anything we needed!
