The air conditioner was full of mold. I had to turn it on out of necessity, but they should definitely clean it. I honestly didn’t see any spoons, but I had to request a room change because the ground floor room was full of humidity, it smelled really bad. I left the hotel with a headache due to the mold smell coming from the air conditioner. The hotel is very close to the beach, and overall the room is okay. They charge you 100 UsD as security deposit, my bank days that deposit will take 7 business days to reflect in my account, son i'll wait

Would not stay here again. If you’re looking for a place to stay longer than one night…DO NOT choose here. WiFi is terrible, parking is terrible, and they have zero amenities. Will pick anywhere else to stay next time I’m in town.

I’m thankful that they let us check in early, after we debarked from the cruise ship. Clean, basic & no-frills accommodations, well-priced. I loved that it was walking distance to the beach. There was also a free shuttle bus going around the city, which we took to get back from Riverwalk and Las Olas Blvd. My only complaint being on the first floor was the very loud noise from the folks above our room. There were unrelenting heavy steps and a grating sound across the floor, as if they’re moving furniture. Good thing I still got some sleep anyway, having been dead-tired from our activity-filled cruise and touring Fort Lauderdale a bit.
