The bathroom door was broken and rotting, the key entry into our room wouldn’t stop beeping and the beds were very noisy and uncomfortable. The lady at the front desk also didn’t give me my license back which posed problems getting into bars

Unfortunately for them, there's a lot of construction going on around them. I also hated the parking, though i understand the problem, but its too bad they didn't have an alternative to their 6 spots. Our room was nice, the beds comfortable. The clerks were all nice and helpful. I didnt like the location, for me, so i wouldn't stay again.

Did not want to pay for beachfront property. This location was better priced and only a short block away from the beach. Room was basic but clean and staff was friendly. No breakfast and basic coffee, just what we were looking for. If you don’t need to be pampered and are wanting a clean basic room, look no further. Central location to a bunch of shopping and restaurants.

Ok for a night before a cruise but I’m not sure I would stay much longer. It was clean, a couple bugs but I guess that’s to be expected in south Florida. The lady in the front office was very nice and efficient, location was great. Very close walk to the beach and places to eat, quick uber to and from FLL and cruise port

Beds are super comfortable and room was clean! Towel rod falling off in the bathroom. No washcloths or hair dryer in room, although provided when asked for the next morning. Communication problem with lovely lady at the desk on evening check in. But comfy beds make up for this very basic hotel.
