My go to hotel anytime I’m in Ft Lauderdale. Hotel is a 3 min walk from the beach and 10 mins from the strip. The staff is very kind and were able to let me check in 4 hours early with no hassle.

Staff at the front desk were pleasant and check in was a breeze. Rooms are a bit dated and the bathroom is pretty small but you are staying here for the location, which cannot be beat. Lots of stuff to do near the hotel. We would stay here again.

Would not stay here again. If you’re looking for a place to stay longer than one night…DO NOT choose here. WiFi is terrible, parking is terrible, and they have zero amenities. Will pick anywhere else to stay next time I’m in town.

For the price it was a good deal! Room was simple. Would’ve appreciated a chair and desk in the room…, but everything was clean which matters to me more. Loved that it was a quick walk to the beach and dining. I’d stay here again for a quick affordable getaway.
