    sun loungers
    beachfront access
    noisy air conditioning

    We had an awesome time relaxing by the pool and enjoying the sun loungers during our stay. The beachfront access was fantastic for quick swims and sunset views. Just a heads-up, the air conditioning in our room could be a bit noisy, but it didn't ruin our fun! 🌊

    I enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere and the hotel's close proximity to the beach, which made accessing the beautiful shoreline easy for me. The staff was helpful, ensuring I had everything I needed during my stay.

    dirty room
    roaches

    Convenient check-in process.

    The room was filthy and poorly maintained. I encountered roaches crawling around and the staff didn't seem concerned when I reported it. The noise from neighboring rooms was constant and disruptive, making it hard to relax during my stay.

    room issues but great views

    The city view from the room was stunning, providing a perfect backdrop for our stay. The beds were comfortable and made for a restful night despite other issues.

    Parking was not the best.

    great location
    poor cleanliness
    rude staff

    The hotel had a great location and the beds were comfy, but it was disappointing to find hair on the floor and no daily housekeeping. Parking was quite challenging, and some staff seemed unwelcoming. Overall, it’s a mixed experience with some positives.

    excellent location
    high weekend prices
    noticeable street noise
    limited dining options

    The stay featured an excellent location with grocery stores and eateries within walking distance, perfect for a couple. The beach is just across the street, enhancing our experience with easy access to beach activities. Staff members were friendly and kept the room impeccably clean throughout our visit. However, the prices surged on weekends, which was a slight downside. Additionally, some noise from the nearby streets was noticeable at times.

    great group vacation
    dated rooms

    The staff was super helpful and friendly, making our group vacation great. Don't miss out on exploring two awesome spots nearby, Port Everglades for some fun on the water and Anglins Fishing Pier for a cool experience. Just keep in mind that while the hotel is a bit older, it’s great for a casual trip with friends.

    The only downside was that the rooms felt a little dated, needing some updates here and there. It didn’t really take away from our fun, but it’s something future guests should note.

    location proximity
    cockroach infestation
    rude staff behavior
    room cleanliness

    Check-in was a bit slow, but the receptionist acted overly polite. I appreciated that the hotel is close to restaurants, making it easy to find a meal. The room had some issues. found cockroaches in the bathroom. The maintenance staff was friendly, which helped a little. Housekeeping didn’t service the room during my stay, had to request towels a few times. Didn’t feel like I got my money’s worth here, considering the problems encountered. The parking situation was pretty bad, too. Tight spaces made it challenging to maneuver. Wi-Fi worked well, though, and the air conditioning was effective. Just wish the room was cleaner and the staff a bit more welcoming. The courtyard was sometimes noisy, which disrupted sleep a bit. Overall, I wouldn't say I enjoyed my time as much as I hoped.

    older property

    Had a decent stay, the beach was nearby and the area around was fun with bars. The room was big enough for us and thankfully clean. Just a heads up, it was definitely older than the pictures showed, so keep that in mind!
