You get what you pay for. In the 50’s I bet this was an adorable little motel. These days, she’s showing her age a bit. The staff was excellent, though, so kudos to them for that. The shower smelled slightly like fish, the water almost got warm, and the stream sprayed in no fewer than 29 distinct directions, which, ironically is exactly
how I prefer my showers.

It was clean-ish. Old. Smelled a little funny and had a burn mark in the comforter.

Other than that, though, the bed was comfortable and I needed a place to sleep. It wasn’t my normal type of choice but it was better than the airport floor. Barely.

Room was filthy and rundown, broken window, \"non-smoking\" yet there was an ashtray and bench immediately outside our room. Maid told us that she had 22 rooms to clean in a short amount of time, by herself, which helped to explain the absolute filth in the room. Desk staff was completely unhelpful. He directed any inquiries to the \"owner\" who was unreachable and never returned calls or emails. There was a loud domestic incident in the courtyard at 3am and with doors that you could see daylight around all the edges, we could also hear the entire fight. Surrounding area is very sketchy. BEWARE: They made a photocopy of both sides of our credit card (no one has ever done that before) and the next day we had two random charges to that card. One star is one too many stars for this property. The photos and descriptions are not even CLOSE to representing the actual place.

Tje Bathroom has mold visible everywhere. The bathroom sink door was literally just hangig by one hindge. The pictures that show on their website and or on Expedia and the actual pictures are not up to par. The lamp was missing a cover and it had the little tree pine car deodorants hanging of it. My apologies but this place should invest a little of the money they charge to upgrade their rooms. I gave them one star to be modest.

During check-in, the front desk employee made physical copies of my government-issued ID and credit card. I was told this was due to fraud prevention, but the practice felt outdated and raised serious concerns about privacy and data security. No clear explanation was provided about how my personal information would be stored or protected.

When I expressed my discomfort and asked about alternatives, the employee responded that I could “just go somewhere else,” despite the fact that bookings made through Hotels.com would still be charged. This response felt dismissive and unprofessional, leaving me feeling stuck and uncomfortable.

While I understand the importance of fraud prevention, there are more modern and secure ways to handle this. The lack of transparency and poor customer service significantly impacted my experience.

The very best place to avoid in Ft. Lauderdale!

Perfect location to have a skid-row experience. My quarters couldn't have passed inspection by the building department. No hot water, faucet and shower handles not secured and did not turn on the water without a great deal of struggle amd manipulation. This place is a joke and I would encourage everyone to steer clear.
