For the price you’re paying, I really enjoyed this place. Rooms were great, clean, large bathroom, great little kitchenette, pleasant experience all around! Very cute boutique hotel. Outside of hotel is super esthetic and cute, and nothing better than walking a block to the beach! Little outside kitchen by the pool isn’t super useful and/or taken care of but has sitting area and such cute pool! Only thing I wish is there was a little more shade for the littles. I was able to move the umbrellas closer to the pool for them But absolutely great experience and very responsive staff through messaging !

The hotel was in a great location for the beach, bars and restaurants on the strip and an easy walk (20-25 minutes) walk to Las Olas.

The room/apartment was a good size, well appointed and very clean.

Staff who were based at their sister hotel which is about a minute away were easily contactable by WhatsApp.

A very chilled place to stay! Would definitely stay there again!

We have stayed at
elita several times over past 5 yrs. The rooms were clean but starting
To see some wear. The biggest
Complaint Is access to support staff. We had an AC issue and left several VMware messages with no call backs. We figured it out in the end. Would like to see more attention to facility condition to keep fresh

Stayed at this property 3 years ago and it was wonderful, that's why we came back to it. However, now it is remotely managed, with very slow response to questions, concerns and problems.
First room head wet floors and reeked of whatever cleaning solution they used to clean. Rooms, was in a back corner with a window that looked out on a fence and a garbage bin.
Was relocated to another room directly above it with no view at all and incredibly small for the size bed that was in the room. To shower leaked a lot handle was very hard to turn.
The room door used a key that was kept in a lock box outside the door, very odd.
No one on site were available in person.
Will not return to this property!!

This is a very convenient property in Ft. Lauderdale - literally 1/2 block from the beach with a small, pleasant pool. Our group rented the “extra large” room - sleeps 8, with two bathrooms and it worked well.

I would say the fact that this is a check yourself in hotel you just need to be prepared to be independent - it’s more like an AirBnB experience than a hotel.

You are sent a code for the gate and the key box to your room.

The room was clean - however, a few things were broken or missing - like one of the bathrooms was missing the toilet paper holder, and the other had a broken hair dryer - and the bedding for the couch bed was missing - when I texted via the Expedia app for assistance with the bedding, I was directed downstairs to an office, but the blankets weren’t there either and no hotel staff was on site to assist, however, the hotel staff solved the problem by sending the maintenance staff to drop off several sheets that when stacked together were the weight of a blanket when the staff realized that there were no blankets available for pick up.

All in all, I would recommend Elita to other guests - just know what you are booking!

This hotel is in a great location, the pool is nice, and they provide decent coffee. Those are about the only pros of this place. Now to the cons… there is no front desk/staff to help with any issues you may have (they text back quickly but we had multiple issues that would’ve been resolved easier if there was an employee working front desk, but this property is run more like an Airbnb where you contact the host if you need something then they assist or send maintenance to assist depending on the problem). We were ticketed the first night for parking because the parking instructions were unclear, so they did accommodate us with a free parking pass for the week, but the whole parking situation was a hassle, especially getting a ticket on our first night there and having to pay it before we left. There are not enough chairs for everyone at the pool, and if you’re lucky enough to get a chair that reclines, you will leave with an achy back because you’re basically laying on metal bars. The lock box wouldn’t open upon arrival so we were left standing outside of the room with our kids at 3am waiting for an emergency lock box code to access a key to check into our room. This hotel is much more of a motel style hotel than a “boutique hotel” as advertised. The pictures make the rooms look much bigger. Our 2 “queen bed” room had full size beds at best. They upgraded our room to a family suite, which was very much appreciated, but we would not stay here again. I hope this review helps!!

The resort was cute and in a great area. Access to the property was sent through text ahead of time and made it easy to comeand go.
The landscape was adorable and the pool area had a bar area along with tables and lounge chairs with umbrellas.
The room came with a little kitchenette with lots of seating. All the amenities were included like a fridge, blow dryer, towels, soaps, shampoos, etc.
My only difficulty was the parking decal. I was worried about being towed but was advised to just park in front of the property and come to their sister hotel located next door in the morning for one. So that was easily done in the morning.
The stay was for 2 nights and we made the best of it. Everything was within walking distance. Truly a great stay

Cute boutique hotel that needs some TLC. The positives are the location, security gate, room size, community areas, outdoor kitchen area with ice maker and filtered water. The negatives…there are ONLY 4 crappy lounge chairs around the pool. Those should be put to the curb, support bars go through your back with sagging canvas. They need a dozen new loungers instead of dining tables and chairs. Also purchase some useable beach chairs instead of the junk they have that is low to the ground and rusty. Beds are lumpy, pillows are tiny, shower doors don’t seal shut in room 1111.

I loved the location, it was easy to walk to the beach and surrounding restaurants. The room was bare bones, though clean was run down. The locks to the door aren't very secure. The furniture needs updating. The A/C works perfectly, the shower head has to be angled to the wall or the water shoots up and over the shower glass wetting the floor. With a little elbow grease and update this would be a gem.

My stay at Elita Hotel was awesome! Before you even THINK about booking here, please note the following: this is an older property hence why the price is LOWER than the surrounding hotels and this is a SELF-SERVICE hotel with no front desk staff. Upon arrival, you have to enter a specifc code to get into the property gate, then you obtain your key from the lockbox next to the hotel room door. The room stayed nice and cool the entire stay with the a/c on and there is also a ceiling fan in the roon for extra air circulation. The room included a mini fridge, safe, king bed, tv and a small table with chair. The bathroom was also nice with a stand up shower. I wish the vanity was bigger but it was fine. I did hop in the pool that went up to 6ft. Surrounding the pool are tables, chairs, and a dining area where you can bring your own food and hang out by the pool. The community \"living room\" is where you will obtain extra supplies for the room if you happen to run out. If you do need to contact staff, send a quick text and they reply back SUPER fast! BEAUTIFUL view of the ocean from the 3rd level sun deck and from my room! SUPER short walk to the beach where I was able to rent beach chairs and umbrellas from the W Hotel staff and was also able to order food and drinks out there! This hotel is centrally located out of the way of the \"busy area\" and rambunctiousness. The surrounding restaurants are really good! I enjoyed my stay and would love to stay here again!

Staff was very attentive and responsive to any needs. The room was very clean and roomy. The air conditioner worked perfect and the bed was extremely comfortable. There were plenty of towels and amenities to use for the room, pool and beach. Very secure with gated entry requiring a passcode. One suggestion would be more mirrors in the room outside the bathroom for getting ready for a night out but other than that everything was perfect. We did not have to use parking but it is available for a fee daily. Convenient walk to down town

Location was good, staff kept checking in to make sure things were good, noticed things that wasn’t up to par-stains on the wall that I thought was throw up or diarrhea but ended up being wallpaper glue which was also peeling.. floor felt so dirty I kept having to put socks on to walk to the bathroom and take them off when I got back into bed-they reached out they came and cleaned it. Last day I found broken glass on the patio the section where the flooring was wood-told management about it and never heard back-probably still there as we speak. Gate can be loud closing.. door to the room doesn’t close all the way I’ve had to come back multiple times to double check that it was closed-it was not make sure you push the door all the way. The bed sheets kept falling off-if you were sleeping with someone else it definitely will be unbearable i stayed by myself..I did have a single basic hotel room but I feel like it could’ve been better for the room aspect

Locations okay. It was nice only being a block off the beach.
The whole place itself is a little ran down. But it’s not in terrible condition.
The room I booked wasn’t the most clean. You can definitely tell the rooms only get a quick wipe down and linen change and never get a deep cleaning.
The front desk hours are very limited and I barely saw any staff on the property. BUT, when you message the property, they get back VERY quickly, willing to resolve any issue or question you may have.
Overall, wasn’t a bad place to stay for the price.

Great stay. The grounds were beautiful, the room was clean, and things in working order—although there were some unruly guests that were loud and destructive of property.

I know It’s not the staffs fault, but it sometimes can be a toss up when staying at a hotel where there is not front end staff to intervene about expectations. However, the customer service was always a text away so any complaints I had they took care of them swiftly and I truly appreciate that.

I would stay again!!

The room I stayed in had been hastily cleaned and it showed. Just a few minor things like the shower and sheets not being fully clean but for the location and price point it made sense. You’re right off the main strip and only a block from the beach. Excellent walking point and far from the main clutter of downtown. Nice location just make sure your room isn’t one of two without a view! Felt dingy to be in the back with peeling wallpaper and a tiny window. Outlets also were worn and wouldn’t barely hold my charger in. Ac was nice tho worked like a charm.

Had a nice bar by the pool but wasn't open. The livingroom where we had to wait to check in had no TV. The bag holding room seemend a bit shady. A small closet located in the forst floor. No staff on site to assist. Check in instructions could be better. They should have staff on site to assist!
