Arrived late the night before our cruise. We were very surprised at how nicely decorated, clean and new this hotel was. The staff we encountered were very nice. The room was well appointed with a mini fridge and coffee-maker. Breakfast in the morning was adequate. Pool area was nice too. My only complaint is that the heavy drapes in our room did not close only the sheer blinds. We were hoping to sleep in since we came in late at night but couldn't because the beautiful Florida sun came blarring in to wake us up early!

Nice place. Had a room overlooking busy SR 84 and I was amazed how quiet it was! I expected to hear traffic constantly, but didn't. I stayed for one night due to the fact I was flying out early the next day. Getting to the airport was a snap. The only negative about this place was the fact that there were stores and eating establishments across the street, but no way easy to get to them. You could run across the street, but thats hazardous on that road.

We stayed here for 1 night before our cruise. The hotel room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. There's a few restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Not too much to do within walking distance, but great hotel for 1 night.

9/10 found this review helpful

As previous reviewers note, this is a great hotel to stay at before or after a cruise. It is not, as another reviewer noted however, a great place to stay if you want to easily see Fort Lauderdale. Stay somewhere else for that.

We drove from DC to Florida and arrived Saturday mid-afternoon. Our room -- a double queen suite with pullout couch -- was ready as planned. It could easily sleep six as the website suggests.

The room was very clean and spacious with granite countertop on the bathroom sink, big color tv and dvd player. The room also had an easy chair and table with chairs. The outdoor pool was clean with many chaise lounges. The hotel also had a mini-7/11 in the lobby to buy things and a Winn Dixie was across the street.

The hotel gave us a coupon book at check -in which we used that night at dinner at the nearby Old Heidelberg down the street. This restaurant is a great place to go if you like German food and music. It is within waking distance about a block down from the hotel. The food and drink is great and it had live German music that Saturday night.

Sunday we got up and had the complimentary continental breakfast (which was fine) and headed for the cruise port about 11am. Since we drove our own vehicle, we drove down to the port which is about three blocks down the street from the hotel.

As the hotel clerk told me, make a right out of the lot and keep going straight until you literally run into the port. There was quite a crowd standing out at the front door waiting for cruise shuttles, att the time we left so it did not seem to well organized.

I was glad we had our own vehicle. You can park at the hotel while on cruise for $10 a day - about what they charge at the port. Entry to the port was easy and parking was right across from the pier from where the ship left. All in all, it was a pleasant experience. Thanks again to Trip Advisor for a great find!

  • Liked — Easy access to port and close proximity to airport.
  • Disliked — Great hotel but not centrally located. If you want to see Fort Lauderdale, stay somewhere else.

We chose this hotel for an overnight stay before a cruise mainly because they offered shuttle service from the airport and to the cruiseport. Some of the reviews and comments I had read prior to booking led me to believe that this hotel was in a less than desirable location. I did not find that to be the case. I was pleased to find a Winn Dixie across the street where we were able to purchase soft drinks, wine, and snacks to take onboard with us.

Our room was very clean and comfortable and the staff most pleasant. In the evening we were told there would be complimentary wine, beer, soft drinks, and snacks out by the pool. To our surprise we found a hotel employee cooking hot dogs and hamburgers (too bad we had already eaten.) A nice way to wind down and prepare for the cruise.

The shuttle service to the cruiseport was well organized and efficient, but there weren't too many cruisers there to put it to the test.

All in all, I was pleased with the accommodations.....if not the price.....and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

  • Liked — Free shuttle service from airport/to cruiseport
  • Disliked — Price was high
