We were going to stay at a different property in Ft. Lauderdale, but fortunately checked first with TripAdvisor. The reviews -- and pictures -- convinced us to switch where we stayed, and TripAdvisor was right there to recommend Tropi Rock.

And it is worth the recommendation. It is a very nice place to stay with BIG and clean rooms, perfect location, nices extras like free Internet service and coffee available much of the day, and a friendly, helpful owner. All at exceptionally reasonable rates. We can unhesitatingly recommend the Tropi Rock.

Our stay was very short -- got in late and left early, wish we'd been there long enough to hang out and chill in the garden. We were greeted by a kind, enthusiastic host, and the vibe of the place was great. It reminded us of the beach motels we'd stayed at as kids, unpretentious, unique, and fun. Much better than a big hotel, even though it's looking a little seedy.

Needed a place to spend the night before we boarded our cruise ship. It was easy to locate from I95 and close to the beach and the cruise port. This is a older hotel that is well cared for. The staff was pleasant and helpful. We were in easy walking distance from various shops and places to eat. Parking is street side which I didn't particulary care for, however the area proved to be safe and we had no problems. The rooms and furnishings are of a older period, but were
in good condition and very clean. Over all we were quite comfortable. No breakfast provided but there was plenty of good coffee available in the morning. I would definitly stay here again.

We originally planned to stay 5 night at this motel. We arrived late evening. Upon our arrival we were informed that we must pay up-front the hole amount for our stay. At this point I haven't seen the room yet!!
I felt uncomfortable with this, so I agreed to leave the motel next morning. The first night was paid when we made the reservation, so we could stay till morning. We checked in and received the room key and the remote control for the TV. The elevator (lift) was out of order, so we could take the stairs :)) The room was out-dated major work needed there. But definitely they were not short in messages left behind informing the traveler about their duties. One of them I find above the kitchenette sink. That informed me that in case that I dare to leave dirty dishes behind I will have to pay $10.00 ; other letter in the bathroom let me know that I cannot use the towel to wash my face, because my make-up will destroy the towel. Sure other fine here!!! The third and final note was on the entrance door which informed me about their precious(?) artwork, and they assured the reader that they will check out to see what's missing and again I am good to pay! No wireless connection in the room. I could only use my laptop in front of the reception. I needed to make a printed copy and I was charged 25 cents for it. The room was clean, this is the only positive thing about this motel!
The garden was over grown, the tables and chairs outdoor were rusty and dirty (I mean months and months not been cleaned)!
When we checked out next morning they demanded the remote control. They wanted me to go up and get it for them. I refused it, saying that they are more then welcome to claim the stairs and I wait at the desk....
I travel a lot and this was my worst experience ever with a motel. I would not recommend to anyone to stay here.
