Place is very outdated and the pictures are not accurate. The bed was hard as a brick. Cigarette butts were all over the terrace when we checked in and were still there when we checked out. The furniture on the terrace was not the furniture in the pictures. The canopy on the terrace was rusty. Not to mention, the views suck. If you turn your head just so, squint, and say a prayer, you might be able to get a slight glimpse of the ocean or maybe it was just sweat dropping from my brow due to no ventilation in the bathroom. Whatever it was…..I would not call it an ocean view as described.

I enjoyed having my coffee out on the patio each morning. The walk to Commercial Blvd is only a few blocks for plenty of dining & shopping options. The availability of beach chairs & umbrella was an important amenity for me, but the stock could definitely use some repairing or updating. I would stay here again. We definitely like the more relaxed vibe in this neighborhood vs the central beach area.

NOT A HOTEL...shouldnt be on hotels site

THIS IS NOT A HOTEL or anything of the sort...It is a timeshare type rental property.
No one is available on site to speak to.
I reached out a number of times and wouldnt get a response for 24 hrs.
We were given strict instructions to bring out our trash to the dumpster and clean up kitchen before we left as if we worked there.
Besides the fact that they give you zero cleaning supplies other than a half roll of cheap paper towels...no windex or disinfectant type cleaners. Not even a box of tissues in the bathroom...one bar of hand soap on bathroom sink...none for shower.
Make sure you bring every single thing you need.
If you shower everyday good luck.my wife and i stood there for 4 days and had 3 large bath towels to use between us...i asked for more and got none...i had to go buy my own.
Check out is at 11am...cleaning lady was knocking on my door at 10:50 telling me its time to go.
Overall unit was pretty clean just very dated.
Just keep in mind this not a hotel nor a motel...just renting space...no lobby...no services.
One big plus is location...5 minute walk to Lauderdale by the Sea.

Excellent communication before our arrival. The management were a pleasure to deal with. It’s a self check in and had I known that in advance it probably would have put us off, however we had everything we needed in advance to make it seamless and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Ideally located for the beach and some lovely restaurants and cafes and only a short Uber into Fort Lauderdale itself.
We asked for a late check out when our flight time was changed last minute and they did everything they could to accommodate us.
We’ve got a baby who was crawling around and his feet and legs were filthy from the floor, but I understand hotels are high traffic areas. That’s the only negative point. The kitchen is full of everything you need, it was a pleasure to stay here.

The hotel was a basic room with limited amenities. On the Expedia website the listed fees for extra stuff was not accurate. For example if you want to check in early Expedia says the fee charged is $50, they charged me $60 and got defensive when I questioned it saying that already was a discount. If you want extra towels they charge you (you are provided 2 each of bath towels, hand towels, wash rags and beach towels) there is no daily househouse keeping. They only clean the room/provide new towels if you are there over a week. There is no pool (which i didn't notice when i booked the hotel so just be aware) the outside sitting area is small but nice however, there were big dropped palm leaves that had not been picked up. Overall it's a cheap place to stay for 1-2 nights and in a very walkable area to dinner and the beach. I stayed by myself for 1 night on the way down to the keys but had my husband been with me 2 towels would not have been enough. No onsite staff, you check yourself in with an email you recieved the day before. Most likely would not stay here again because they charge extra for everything. I think it's ridiculous to charge for early check in when the room was not occupied the night before and it appeared I was the only one there in the entire place but just my opinion.

This property overall was likable. It was clean but did have a slight mildew smell. The dishes were a little grimy and the sponge to clean them was already used so we bought a new one. We were only left 2 shower towels and 2 beach towels for a 5 night stay and were told it would be $25 for another set when we asked for more. The laundry facility was apparently closed due to Covid. Each unit is allowed one spot but we had to park down the road because all of the spots were taken (6 spots for 8 units?) The TV also was a hit or miss as to whether or not it would work. They tell you not to turn the AC below 70 degrees but it does get pretty cold inside due to the tile flooring. However the location was close to Lauderdale by the sea (not the main downtown Fort Lauderdale but still close to a cute shopping/dining area). The bedding was clean. The bathroom was nice. It was nice having a kitchenette. Prices were cheap. They have beach chairs and umbrellas you can use as well, but we didn’t take advantage of that. Check-in was easy. They provided all the dishes you needed (just would recommend washing them before using). I would recommend bringing your own towels, hand soap (you only get a small bar of soap), and a new sponge if you plan on using the dishes. Overall the stay was nice.

Bed is worn in and hard you can feel every springs. The bath tube was peeling. The toilet doesn't flush you have to stand there for a good minute pushing the button so that it'll flush. The wall next to the bed is caving in there even a crack in the wall.

As a family of 4 with 2 smaller children their laundromat was closed and only available if you stay there 7plus days. We stayed for 5 days and with kids and attending the beach you have wet clothes that need to be washed. Had to go else where to do laundry and that was a major inconvenient.

This is an outdated inn. If you just need a place to stay dry I supposed it will do. The outside was in better looking conditions. If you are looking for a nice place to relax I wouldn't recommend this place. I will not be rebooking with them again.
