i booked this hotel for two nights on a thurs and fri. oct.12th and 13th 2006, i selected this location as it was very handy to the airport and the cruise port from which we were departing on the 14th. the hotel was easy to find and check in went well.i was given two electronic room keys, upon getting to the room neither key would open the door,back to the desk, was given new keys,to make a long story short,every time we left the room the key would not work when you returned.. on the second day after having to return to the desk a total of 11 times over the two days i was no longer happy about this situation and i told the clerk that i was getting tired of this, and what were they doing to solve the problem,at this point he started shouting at me that he was a professional and he doesnt need to listen to me complain,at this point a second clerk came out but did not say anything.i was given two new keys one of which did not work.i can only say that as a retired supervisor of a large dept. of a large customer service co.if i or any employee of mine were to talk to a client or customer in this manner he would be subject to disiciplenary action or dismissal. aside from an employee with one of the worst attitudes i ever encountered the hotel was clean ,quiet, the pool was well kept, and the cont.breakfest was good.

Very nice hotel. Limited breakfast fare. Only complaint was about wireless Internet connection not available in rooms.

We came in from a cruise and had to spend a night in Fort Lauderdale. The next day it was off to the airport for our flight back to Chicago. The appealing thing about this hotel was its proximity to both Port Everglades and to the Fort Lauderdale airport (FLL). A free shuttle van picked us up at the CruisePort after about an hours wait and three phone calls. Not a real problem. A 10 minute ride and you arrive. Our room was very clean with a great king-sized bed. A refrigerator, microwave, and VCR come with the room. The pool was clean and enjoyable, but pool furniture had seen better days. The complementary breakfast was very adequate along with the free USA today. Another plus was the free wide band internet connection to catch up on the weeks worth of e-mail that was waiting. Shuttle ride to the airport took about seven minutes and curbside checkin was a breeze. I liked the place and would go back!!

I stayed at this hotel in March 2006 for 6 nights. On the surface, it seems like a reasonable place if you can set aside the cheap plastic feel of everything. The thing that really destroys this place is the people. The hotel is run with unveiled contempt for its guests. The airport shuttle drivers shoot glares at you after they take 45 minutes to pick you up from the airport and then add insult by directly requesting a tip while you're sill in the van. The desk clerks are mostly blunt, unfriendly, unhelpful men (although there are one or two exceptions to this rule) and the two men that seem to own the place are particularly unpleasant grumpy individuals. The contempt continues in the guestrooms where you are threatened by the large signs hanging in the bathroom (if you take one of our sandpaper-like towels, we will charge $10 to your credit card). Your obvious thieving tendencies are thankfully controlled, however, by a cord that attaches the iron to the ironing board, although it does make ironing your clothes technically impossible. I could continue on about the overall cheapness, tackiness, and grumpiness, but I think it comes down to this: if you desperately need a place to stay for a night and don't mind being an unwelcome guest then this place might be okay, but if you want a hotel that will be comfortable for a few nights you should definitely look elsewhere.
