“Great for what you pay!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012 via mobile

Came off of a Cruise this morning and came straight to the hotel. Although I wasn't able to check in the lady at the front desk let us leave our bags and pointed us in the direction of the boardwalk. Right on the beach and by a few cute stores and dozens of delicious restaurants and dive bars. We returned to the hotel for our bathing suites and the front desk attendant gave us some beach towels and a hotel card to give us access to gym and pool area! Came back later on and our room was ready two hours early.. It's very clean, we are staying in a cute little studio with a full kitchen (had stove) the noise level from the outside is non existent and we even have a little dining table.. Plenty of clean towels and a spacious bathroom .. We paid $67 for this Queen Studio and are pleasantly surprised with the area, the hotel, the room, and the accommodating staff.. I would defiantly stay here again for a weekend away

“Don't stay here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 2, 2012

This building is very old and just has an unclean feeling. Also an "upgrade" to an ocean view is just that- a room with a small window that you can see the ocean. Also- there were hidden fees I was unaware of prior to arrival- will never stay here again.

“too small too dark too old”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

the rooms, and bathroom area are on the small side.there is a foreign ordor that is throughout the entire bulding. its a very old hotel with much repairs needed.you had to wait on line to have access to the pool, after 8am the pool was sold out, that means no place to sit or lay in the sun.the price was reasonable and the elevators worked great

Room Tip: the end rooms seem to have a more even temperature while the middle of the hotel are much cooler.

“A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT - in need of a major update”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

Choose this hotel based on location and price - wanted something on the beach with easy access to shopping, resturants and access to Ft Laudedale airport. This is the first time that i have been disappointed and greatful that only one night was being spent here. This is in need of some major overhaul both in facilities and staff training. This is a combination hotel and condo development with vacant retail and resturant space. It has great potential and great history but the condo ownership has let this place fall into major disrepair. The room was clean but very dated. Staff was not great at explaining things and the condo staff and hotel staff don't seem to talk so lots of running back and forth in order to figure things out. No information in the hotel room about the facility layout, local activities and attractions - due to the confusion this set the wrong tone for the entire stay. Paid $10 a day resort fee and only received towels for the pool after two trips to the desk and then they were flimsy. The contintial breakfast was a major disappointment and not worth the time - I have had better at alot cheaper hotels. Staff was not friendly at all. A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!
