Fine place if on a budget
If you are needing to spend less money and wanting to be near the Ft. Lauderdale beach, this is a fine place to stay. This little hotel could use a major renovation inside and out 100% but worth the money. Staff are very kind and hard working.

Everything was good. Only difficulty I had was trying to find a parking spot. They had parking behind the hotel, but someone decided to block the entry to the parking lot resulting in going all the way around to the exit part of the lot and reverse inward to be able to leave the correct way the following mornings

This was an old hotel, and should not have been priced like a new one! Seriously outdated and ridiculous room with long bed and queen in same room! Staff was courteous and professional but would never stay there again… needs lotsa of updating!

Hidden Gem!
Never judge a book by its cover. The exterior was a bit rough but the room was fantastic! The bed was probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in at a hotel.
Jackie at the front desk was beyond nice. One of the best desk clerks ever!!!

Disgusting
This hotel was disgusting, I killed five (5) roaches and couldn't sleep because others in the hotel were up all night smoking weed and yelling. Total Dump!

One night only thankfully
Office staff were welcoming on arrival. Room was noisy even though asked for quiet room. Hotel is old and dated. Area food availability is poor in quality and high in price. No easy access to beach.
