This place is a mess! Rooms are disgusting, no where near the beach, people smoking right outside the office doors.
They are also thieves. We stayed on our way to catch a cruise, we left 3 brand new shirts and a pair of formal shorts we had just purchased in Fort Lauderdale and we realized we left them hanging in the closet, as soon as we boarded the ship and called. We were promised they would have them at the front. Came in directly 4 days later as we disembarked and were told no one said anything nor found them. They had us standing there 30 minutes while they “looked for it” But became insulted when I called them thieves.
Do not stay here!!! I never ever leave bad reviews

Disappointing m! We reserved the Honeymoon suite with jacuzzi tub. When we arrived after a 5 hour drive, we were told that the room was not available due to an unexpected broken window. They didn’t charge us the parking fee and resort fee to compensate- but the only reason we selected this hotel was for the jacuzzi tub. They said we could cancel but we were in town for a wedding the same day and no time to look for another hotel. I think we should have been compensated more accordingly!!

I absolutely loved the location of this place it was perfect however the “hotel” gave motel vibes there was black mold in the ceiling bathroom. When we got there the toilet was clogged…the front desk sent someone to fix it. We left to dinner and came back to water all over the bathroom floor. The location is perfect.

I was very disappointed with my stay. The property is inconsistent—while one building appears more updated, the older building is clearly neglected. The room in the older section had issues, including bags left behind, which made it feel unclean and poorly maintained.

This hotel was disappointing. I would not stay here unless I was a smoker and wanted to be able to smoke where I was staying.,Although the room seemed clean, the glass was cracked in our large window. The outside area right outside our room and the pool area was littered with dirty ashtrays and there were frequently people smoking there. Empty water bottles and towels were left lying around for over 24 hours altho I did see someone vacuum the Pool the two mornings we were there and the water appeared cleaner than the pool deck. Front desk was perfunctory. Strong deodorizer smell in the rooms,

We felt by looking at the pictures, the beach was literally across the street from the hotel- but it was NOT! U had to walk across the street and down approx a block and then turn and walk towards the ocean. Room was clean, U had to request maid service yourself by a certain time of day or U wld Not get it- rooms have been updated and clean- but VERY BASIC. The pool at Ocean Beach was nice- we had an issue wth the tv and someone was up IMMEDIATELY to help- which was appreciated!

Room very clean! Pool was great! Not so close to a lot of Restaraunts walking to so would have to uber. We Ubered to Lauderdale-by-the sea, it was a quick drive. The only thing about this hotel is that our room was in the other building they own and when looking at uber or Lyft another address was popping up with a different address number. And it was so confusing but no one had told us it was a different address. Thought buildings were all same address so we had to ask front desk and they said yes your building is at “ this address”. It would have been nice if they told us that ahead of time because we waisted time and effort and canceling an uber trying to figure things out. After we did, it was a very nice place. And McDonald’s right across the street.

The hotel was overall acceptable. The pictures do not necessarily reflect the actual appearance of the property as it is quite old. The rooms themselves are more recently remodeled and overall the property was clean and comfortable. We found the staff to be friendly but quite slow to respond and the front desk was always full with a line.

Be perfectly clear about ALL charges in advance including parking fees and cc holds.
Invest in improving the amenities and the multiple buildings have the exact same pictures for all building which is NOT true.

Room was good and staff were pleasant. Only thing was that check-in and requests at front desk was a long process. Staff did not seem to be trained properly and couldn't multi-task. We were only one night and would not stay much longer as it is by no means resort like. Served our purpose as just a place to crash for one night

McDonald's across the street for coffee was a bonus and a few shops near-by.

Roaches in room 215. MOLD filled bathrooms, drapes, lampshades, backboards where they tried to bleach the mold away. We were moved from room 216, filled with mold and musty smells, then room 106, even worse, then moved to room 316. Then we get a knock on the door from manger saying they are moving us BACK to original room 216 and that they hired a professional cleaning service to clean room. But what actually happened was they rented out the room to another couple who we saw leaving the next morning. We spoke to them. They also complained to manager about mold and ended up booking another hotel. Homeless people knocking on doors in the middle of the night. We called security. And there was yelling etc sounded like a pretty big argument. When we went to front desk next morning about what happened, we were told no one was doing anything. My kids were at pool and approached by a homeless person because there is NO security. Everyone and anyone has easy access to the grounds and hotel rooms. Police activity another night. A man on the third floor balcony staring disturbingly at my daughter. When I told him to please stop. He said “ I live here for three months, I can do what I want” and he blew her a kiss. A maid knocked once and only once did not wait for a response that it was ok to come in to room and walked in on my daughter in law getting out of tub. Each time we complained to management we were told we were lying, or that it didn’t happen etc. UNSAFE!!

Room was remodeled and very clean. We loved the suite to have separated spaces when one was sleeping. Microwave and refridgerator in the room was very convenient as was having the Bamboo Tiki Bar across the street for drinks, food and beach chairs. I wish they had a hot tub and a bar/restaurant on site would have made it 5 stars.

The room was clean and was OK for our one night stay. I do feel like I was misled. I was under the impression this place was on the beach. It is not. It’s across the street. The motel is outdated. The outside has a run down look to it, in my opinion. Personally, I expected something entirely different for 315.00 a night. Just being honest

Our stay was okay overall, but the room could really use a heater it was freezing during our visit. I know it’s not always that cold, but we happened to come during record-breaking weather. The news mentioned it hadn’t been that cold in 15 years! The remote control was also very sticky; I used my own Clorox wipes and it came off quite dirty. The showerhead had some mold and probably needs to be replaced. On the positive side, the location was great close to the beach and fine for a two night stay. It would also be nice if the hotel added a washer and dryer for guests. We were headed on a cruise and needed to wash some clothes after those couple of days there. The staff is pretty nice.

Upon arrival we noticed the building was very old and out of date. When we got to our room, it had a distinct odor and the door was catching so it was difficult to lock. The weather was in the mid 20 low 30s so we tried to switch the AC unit to heat and had no luck. We called the front desk and were told that the heat setting did not work and that someone would bring us an electric heater. We waited for the heater for about 20 mins and had to call again to see where they were. A guy brought the heater and we realized it didn’t work! At that point, we just went to bed freezing because it was after 12am. Overall, it was a place to lay down. Nothing to praise about this place. Very disappointed especially since it was $200 for that night.

The room was fine and staff was nice. The reason why I only gave 2 stars is because I booked the honeymoon suite with a jacuzzi and the water was yellow. Pee yellow. The toilet water was also so I’m guessing the water I showered with was too. They did move me to a different room but same thing. I feel I was not able to take advantage of the jacuzzi on my bday trip.

The staff person at the Front Desk needs additional training. I called when I was outside in the Uber. The driver was trying to drop me at Ocean Mile hotel because the GPS brought us there. I tried calling the hotel for directions because I knew I was in the vicinity but it was dark and wanted to avoid wandering around to find the hotel. The uber driver insisted I get out and had to wander around until I found the hotel. I mentioned it to The front desk clerk who said she was busy checking in guests and could not answer the phone. WHAT HOTEL DOES NOT ANSWER THEIR PHONE??!! What if someone on the property was injured and called front desk for assistance. Also there was only a bath mat and wash cloth in bath room causing me to have to go back to front desk to get more towels. Upon arriving back to my room, the door to the room swings out and hit me as I was walking thru causing me to fall and hit my head on the air conditioner. I did let Anna know what had happened along with her colleague. I also mentioned to Angelina the manager who agreed that the new staff member needed further training. In addition, the new staff member as she was leaving her shift spoke to the staff member taking over in Spanish about me which was rude and highly inappropriate. It turns out that I understand Spanish. Not all rooms have lamps with USB ports which they switched the lamp in my room from another room but the USB port did not work. Make sure to take adapter to use to charge cell phone.

We arrived at the Hotel early around 10:30 am because returning from a Cruise. Our check in time was 3pm. So of course we didn’t expect to be checked in at that time. I booked 2 rooms. It was 2 disabled seniors in my party so it would have been nice if we could have been accommodated sooner. We kept being told no rooms were ready but as I was sitting in the lobby I would over hear them tell other early customers they could get in the room for a $20 plus tax fee which they accepted and received a room. This was NEVER offered to us.

When we did get our 2 rooms at three even though we had a pre check in we had to go thru the process all over again. The rooms were very nice and spacious. The only disappointing things about the room is that the floor was dirty. I had on white socks and from my bed to the bathroom they got black and there was no ventilation in the bathroom so upon taking a shower the floor was moist and slippery so we had to use towels to get up the condensation.
