If you're budget is tight and you're looking for a decent place to stay in Fort Lauderdale, then this place is it.
The room I had was meant for 4 people, but we had a group of 7 and the manager was nice enough to have all 7 of us in there for an extra $5 a day (bargained it down). The room itself is very plain and basic, but at least it was clean. Our group saved A TON of $$$ because it had a kitchen and we cooked most of our meals there.
The motel has a very nice pool, which our group had tons of fun in. The beach is only a 5 minute walk and it was basically deserted, which was good and bad, but at least it was a very nice beach. There are a ton of stores, mini-shopping malls around the area if that's what you're into.
So overall:
The Good: Very cheap price for lodging ($450 US for 5 nights/4 days for 7 people! That works out to about $12 US per day per person!), SUPER friendly staff (especially the manager), good location to the beach and stores
The Bad: When we stayed there (near the end of February), the motel was occupied by mostly old folks and families, and we were looking for a student-crowd, as we're college students ourselves.
