Stinky room. Air conditioner was not on and room was like a sauna when first entering. Looks like nobody has remodeled the motel since the 1970s. A bit better than being in prisión, but not my much.

Debo aclarar primero que según expedia la habitación contratada era con vista a la piscina y con caja de seguridad y cocina, y ninguna de las tres cosas se dieron, la habitación era pequeña y con poco lugar, tenía microonda y heladera, estaba en un segundo piso por una escalera bastante incómoda para subir con el equipaje.
A pesar de todo la estadía fue aceptable. La limpieza se hace una vez a la semana y teniendo que hacer el reclamo.

This is my worst lodging experience. After a long flight, when I finally reached the motel
, there was on onsite staff at this particular motel. About a block down, there is another motel which is also managed by the same chain. The check-in staff was so terribly rude and hostile. I urge everyone to remain away from this property. Just my two cents.

The room and property was clean and easy to find with free available parking. Front check in desk wasn’t customer friendly it was more like everyone who entered was the same with a different number which caused a scripted robotic one way transaction because it was communication.

The room was actually a 1 bedroom apartment. It was clean, cold AC, the bed was comfy, 2 tvs, a full kitchen, which we did not use. Just know they require a $50 cash deposit, which they give you right back at check out. I would definitely stay at the courtyard location.

Could not even stay at this resort, the customer support from the front desk to the look of the hotel was one of the worst experiences i've ever experienced in my entire life.

The photo of this beautiful pool is NOTHING like what the resort looked like. The front desk would not let us check in one min sooner, or even place our bags with the front desk. The rudeness of the person I had spoken with at the front desk was like something I had never experienced.

Also, the room they were having us stay at was 4 blocks away from the pool, the main motel, or any of the items listed on the room.

I would avoid this Motel as much as possible!

Terrible check in. The office to check in was separate from the motel rooms. After being dropped off by our taxi at the motel we found a sign posted to the office stating to go to a different address to check in. So we had to order an Uber to drive us to a different location to check-in. And then order another Uber to get back to our room. On top of all of that misery, the Motel requires a substantial cash deposit for the room key and you have to return the key in order to get your cash deposit back. So once again, we had to order another Uber in the morning to return the key and get our deposit back. What a waste of money. The entire process was a nightmare!

I don't want to complain but would like to help other travelers who may be staying at this Motel.
We did not receive good directions upon check-in. We had to leave a $50 deposit in CASH and were not told that we needed the receipt given to get the deposit back. Fortunately, we still had it in the room and were able to go back and retrieve it. Secondly, the motel rooms are sprawled across several blocks. A map with the location of your room would have been very helpful.

The property is in a great location and a quiet neighborhood. We were close to Gulfstream Race Track and close to the lovely Hollywood Beach. There are plenty of restaurants, and groceries and stores in the area.

Now for the rooms. We booked two weeks out from arrival and had no choice on the room we received. It was a bare-bones room. While there were a small refrigerator, microwave and television, there wasn't a coffee maker, hair dryer or shampoo/amenities in the room. We made do but just want to let other travelers know to call and check on what to expect upon arrival. I believe there are rooms with full kitchens and better amenities. Just make sure you know what you're getting.

I did not use the pool because we did not have pool towels and I do not know if they were available. The room came with a queen bed and 2 small pillows. For me and my wife 2 pillows each to sit up in bed and watch TV would have been better. There were 2 bulbs out in bathroom and sink aerator was clogged which lowered water pressure to a trickle. I removed the aerator while I was there. Only 2 small shower towels which should have been bigger or more absorbent. The bathroom had no counter or place to put your toiletries. Over all I did like the place and would definitely consider going back next time I visit family. I also found the price very reasonable for what you get. I do wish the owners well, and hope they work on the things I mentioned.

My wife and I did not have a great experience the 4 nights we were here. The shower head popped off while taking a shower, the drain doesn’t flood in the shower so the water spread all throughout the motel floor. They gave us one cloth and one towel to use and I had to call staff for extra towels to clean the water and to dry my body. Staff didn’t arrive so I personally had to go to the front to ask for towels. Concierge claimed our room was renovated, that room was fallen apart and very uncomfortable to stay in. I expected better from this place.

This hotel operates across 7 locations — two within walking distance, others a short drive away. However, you may book one address and then be redirected to another, being told it's just a few blocks — in reality, it’s a 7–10 min walk, which is frustrating, especially after a long flight.

At check-in, they require a $50 cash deposit. If you don’t have cash, you must withdraw it from their ATM with a fee. When I requested the refund, they tried giving it in $1 bills. I refused and had to walk to another office to receive larger bills.

Room issues:

AC worked the same on all modes and kept shutting off.

Shower knobs were loose; one was barely attached.

Toilet was tiny — uncomfortable for tall/big guests.

Freezer had no door and was broken.


At night, other guests were watching movies or playing loud music near the rooms with no respect for others. The overall guest behavior was poor and unsettling.

The only positive experience was the woman at the front desk who kindly gave me a room close by upon request.

If you're on a very tight budget, this place may work, but don’t expect comfort or good service. I cannot recommend it and believe even 1 star is generous.

The staff at this establishment are incompetent. While Richard is very cordial over the phone and by text, the staff at his company is rude, disrespectful, and probably under the influence of drugs. There is no explanation for why a non-smoking room smells like a cigarette box. It is evident that both the towels and the blankets are stained. Moreover, you should be prepared to check in and out of completely different hotels than where you are staying the night. Oh, it's because they send you a message once you have booked, directing you to a completely different check-in location and informing you that a deposit is required in cash only, so be prepared to shuffle around banks to get cash. I have never had a worse hotel experience in my life. The staff's aggressiveness and rudeness is beyond my comprehension. This is a place you should not visit. This is a place for those who wish to be treated as if they were trash. Then, if you wish to get your deposit back, they will make you go through a series of obstacles and hoops at each location. The fact that these people have the nerve to be rude when you ask why you must go back and forth to obtain a deposit is appalling. There is no reason for this to be given a star. Please do not visit this site.
