Located at the end of strip there’s so much construction. Construction on the streets and in the hotel. The courtyard was being renovated so we did get to enjoy it. Had I known it was under construction I might not have booked here. There is no where to park other than valet. It’s $52 a day. Their outside restaurant was shut down no real perks here other than chairs at the beach and if you want an umbrella it more. No breakfast, no hot tub, no outdoor restaurant. The best was so uncomfortable I couldn’t sleep. Staff was mostly friendly but not a lot of interaction. The view was nice from our room.

Staff was good. Location excellent. Patio, pool area and sun deck need some work

Every time we come it is always a great time very clean friendly area

Great location. We stayed ocean view room and was everything I expected. Too pricey. Needs update furniture and decor. Water faucet BR sink didn’t work.

This hotel is in desperate need of an upgrade should not be used by orbit we arrived late at night. There were no linens for the pullout couch. Elevator was filthy posters were hanging curtains were falling curtains were dirty door knobs, were off the dresser the sign out front at the top of the building was hanging off. There was a homeless person at the end of the driveway all set up in their camp. There are people walking around on drugs it was Terrible the dumpsters were outside Right from our window the pool was indeed of updating looked out over a rusted roof. We left that night and had to go pay for another hotel. Staff was not friendly.

Let's start with the GOOD news. The staff here is off the charts. The facility is showing its age a bit and is undergoing renovations, when we arrived the lobby was quickly filling up with an angry mob because the computer system went done. This is where the staff really impressed us. Lena and Emanuel handled a stressful situation with incredible grace and professionalism and eventually got everyone sorted out. We had a couple of other nuisances like a TV that didn't work but at the end of the day Bill Stienberg made it right with us, he clearly understands the hospitality business and ran a tight ship. Special shoutout to Zerodia and Marietta who were also fantastic. We will be back when they finish the renovations.

The hotel was average - just ok. Great location - rooms moderately clean - housekeeping did not come for the first two days. Outdoor pool was small and not heated. Only valet parking available for $48 per night - no self park option. Each time you pull out of valet lot, you get a text offering to facilitate a cashless tip for the parking attendant, even if you have already given a cash tip.

Amazing place in the middle of all the excitement of Ft. Lauderdale beach

Right next to the beach and fun areas. Property is dated and needs an re-fresh. could not get heat to turn on as the system is building wide and can only go either Heat or Cool and they had opted for Cool so I had to get blankets.

Amazing ocean view!

It was good

Corner room with ocean view is amazing. The staff is super friendly. The hotel is Excellent position to run to the beach restaurants all walking distance and is the middle of 2 water taxi locations.

Bed and pillows not comfortable some of the staff kind of rude.

Location! Right on the beach, no need for rental car.

Nice

Very convenient property with an excellent staff

Shelby, we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. It seems the construction around our establishment was a nuisance during your stay, and we understand the inconvenience. We want to assure you, these improvements are designed to significantly enhance our guests' experiences once complete. We regret that you were unaware of this prior to booking.Whilst our beach chairs are a popular amenity, we understand your disappointment with the additional cost for an umbrella as well as the unavailability of certain services like breakfast and the outdoor restaurant which was temporarily closed. We're sorry to hear of your discomfort due to the bed, and we're working towards refining guest interactions with our team members.We're glad to know you enjoyed the room view. Thank you again for your review, and we hope you’ll consider staying with us once our renovations are complete to enjoy a much better experience.

Warren, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. It's uplifting to hear about your appreciation of our prime location. However, concerns were raised on multiple ends, including your observation regarding our housekeeping schedule and the size of the pool. Please note we are undergoing a pool refurbishment and full-scale hotel makeover starting from May 2024 which will considerably ameliorate these concerns.We also understand the impression our valet parking service has left, and your feedback has been noted. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to the possibility of hosting you again, hopefully in an even better setting post-renovation.

Everest, thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's wonderful to hear that our prime beachfront location was beneficial for your stay. Regarding your concerns, while some areas do reflect a more classical style, we are excited about our upcoming complete hotel renovation planned for May 2024. On the note of the heating system and your need for additional warmth, we wish we could have adjusted it to your preference, but understand your situation. Future guests, please note that we are operating our heating and cooling system based on seasonality, and always endeavor to ensure your comfort. We hope to welcome you back post-renovation where you will experience the refreshed ambiance.
