Buyer beware! This place is a total scam! We arrived before midnight due to delayed flight into Ft. Lauderdale anirport. I messaged the hotel in the app and they said, “Expedia never sent us the message!” Arrived at hotel and they cancelled our ENTIRE 3 day stay!!! Never received any cancellation notice via email, text or by phone, said they had already booked our room! We could not stay any of the dates we paid for, no vacancy, despite my hubby checking the app and they did have reservations available for the next 2 days!!! The night staff guy was absolutely RUDE, and very difficult to understand. He refused to let us speak to a manager. But he said he had “another” room available at another hotel, we could just pay him. Also don’t bother paying the trip insurance, that was worthless too, they stated they could not reach the manager of the hotel after several failed attempts so they were declining our claim. Basically we were put 575.00 and had to get another motel in the middle of the night. All around booking site sucks (won’t publish because I named them), hotel sucks and travel insurance sucks. ALL SCAMS!!Sorry, not sorry. SCAMS ALL AROUND!! Worst customer service EVER!

The hotel was dark and dingy. Had to cross through back rooms of restaurants and bars to get to the room we were staying. Furniture in the room was worn, uncomfortable and at least 20 years old. Outlets didn’t work and sinks did not drain well. Mold around air-conditioning unit and lukewarm water for showers. Staff was very unfriendly. Do not recommend.

Stayed for eight nights over the Thanksgiving weekend. The hotel staff were great from Check in to the room service. The room was the Ocean Penthouse and the security wasn’t 100% access door was open and the patio door would not lock. That was the worst of it. The room was great and the hotel location top too. Park on 13 st at $20 for 24 hours , don’t use the valet who charge close to $45 a night. I think we will try another hotel next year but you could try this with no issues.
