We chose this HIE for the location on 17th street. The shuttle service was a bit slow but the hotel staff were great. Our roon was very clean with nice appointments. The rooms do not have safes but there are safe deposit boxes at the front desk You have easy walking distance to shopping and many restaurants. The Sun Trolley... More

On A recent stay at this hotel we left a very important package behind in our room. Feeling there was no way we would ever see it again, I called, and to our shock and amazement it had been turned in by housekeeper Angela Gores. We could not believe our luck at having such an honest, good person as Angela... More

I chose this hotel because my family and I were going on a cruise. So we stayed here, thinking we could save the extra cab money and walk. I read the hotel description, within walking distance of the pier....ahahah, ya no! Thank goodness we decided to take a shuttle. The walk would've been at least a mile. Whatever time of... More

This hotel meets expectations. Very clean, friendly staff, quick and easy accommodations. Nice for the single business traveler. My one major complaint is breakfast. I don't like being frustrated first thing in the morning, but the compact breakfast area can get more overcrowded than a NYC subway. I was lucky to even get a seat! I will say, big ups... More

Free shuttle from the airport was convenient and prompt. Free breakfast in the morning with decent food, juice, tea and coffee. Contemporary decor and double rooms that comfortably fit four people. Free wifi throughout the hotel which was invaluable relative to cruise internet prices. Super friendly and useful staff- they helped us find public transport to major malls (about a... More

This was excellent value for money. But note that th cruise terminal still requires a shuttle as it is such a huge terminal. The hotel doesn't have a shuttle, but for $8 each you can use one that stops at he hotel. The trolley out the front takes you to the beach and shops. Breakfast was great and free More

Stayed here the night before a cruise. Hotel staff very pleasant and helpful. Rooms seemed to be a bit small, but they are bigger than the cruise ship rooms. Rooms are nicely wewith flat screen TV's and new carpeting. Elevator and interior areas appeared to be a bit dated. If you rent from budget the budget office is just across... More

We selected this hotel property based primarily on few factors: rewards program, shuttle service from/to the airport and distance to our destination. IF you are able to walk to Port Everglades you are in luck. Not only is it walkable from this property (especially to pier 2), BUT you can save money on the shuttle service. Otherwise the shuttle service... More

Stayed here in November 2011 while in town to do a trade show at the nearby convention center. Location was excellent - plenty of restaurants and shops are an easy walk, including the convention center if you don't feel like dealing with the parking situation there. The hotel has a very modern feel and our room was spacious. I'm not... More

Check in was great - F/D girl recognized priority club and gave us a bag of treats :) Our room was nice, modern and clean. Only problem, our toilet didn't flush. We had maintenance come by and try to fix it, but again, after using it later that night, it didn't flush. We asked for a new room. New room... More
