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.

Don't waste your money
Well the pictures were so nice but also very misleading. Check in was easy. The room was the disappointment. First off there was an immediate smell upon entering the room. Smelled old and musty. The room was very large. The furniture looked old and run down the drawers didn't come out correctly. The sheets weren't that clean. They had specs of dirt or something. I had my 3 kids and I was not happy with them being there. It wasn't kid friendly at all. There was an odd window in the bathroom. The bathtub didn't drain very well at all. By the time we were done taking our showers the tub was almost to the top. It was insane and not worth the 150 I paid. I would never stay here again.

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.

Okay room, terrible front desk staff
Room was okay but it smelt very off-putting. The staff at the front desk were absolutely terrible. Extremely rude and belittling. The lady was absolutely blasting music and being on her phone and completely ignored me at the front desk - then proceeded to tell me that she couldn’t hear me talk and that it wasn’t because of her phone. Unsure of what the policy is for customer service but these staff need to learn to be nicer and more respectful to guests.
