This place is an horrible dump. When we opened the door, we were in shock of just how bad it was. Stained carpet, scrapped/scarred walls, rusted luggage holder, bugs crawling on the walls, moldy bathroom, no drain plugs on the sink or tub, Ironing board with no iron, coffee maker with no coffee cups. Broken drawers, missing drawer pulls, lousy mattress, old furniture. Very loud noise outside our door. Even our college age son couldn't believe how bad it was and ask if we were staying. We arrived so late due to flight delay that we simply could not start looking for another room. We had already pre-paid for two nights but the next morning, we checked out. I was embarrassed for someone to see me in a place like that. This place does not deserve a one star rating. We got this room on a package deal through Travelocity. They should be ashamed to offer this package deal. We were in Fort Lauderdale for the Orange Bowl and this just about ruined the trip. We spent our next next at the airport. I had a better rest sitting in an airport chair over this dump.

The non-smoking room wreaked of smoke. The carpet was extremely stained and dirty. Toilet continually ran and there was a hole in the wall where the plumbing came through along with smoke from the room behind it. The buildings (owned by Holiday Park) behind the one in which I stayed were completely run down and housed the extremely poor. People would knock on your door at all hours of the night. People would be drinking in the parking lot and harrass you when you went to your car. Kids would skateboard at all hours on the second floor catwalk. This place was totally disgusting. The area was next to the railroad. If you have the unfortunate need to book this hotel, Sleep in your car, you will be more comfortable.

I walked into the room and it smelt really gross. My friend and I decided to check out the room before we made our decision to leave. I opened up the drawer next to the bed and found a dead cockroach in it. In the bathroom it was all moldy and there was another dead cockroach in the tub. We immediately checked out.

I was worried about the hotel after reading reviews so I contacted them directly for reservations. I would have just booked somewhere else but the price is great. The agent I spoke with on the phone was informative and answered all of my questions and took note of my concerns. When I arrived I was very happy with the accommodations and the staff. It is not the Ritz but it was very comfortable and pleasant. The pool and bar were nice in the evenings before we went out and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Will definitely stay here again next time we pass through the area.
