We needed a hotel for the night before heading to the airport in the morning. We got of a cruise early and went directly to the hotel. He held our bags at the office and even offered us beach towels while we wait for our room. The room was spacious and the air worked as it should. Best room for the best price in a great location. Not much more to be said.

Good location to be right in las olas convenient for the beach, shopping, eating and everything in between. I only needed a one night stay. The bed/towels were clean. The rooms could use a deep clean (dirty base boards, dirty windows/mirrors, dust, drain gnats, soap stain build up). Otherwise decent. The outside area is super cute lit up at night the price was right and easy to book.

Very friendly and helpful staff and the complementary on site laundry was definitely a bonus. The room was spacious, though ordinary, and the property could benefit from a refresh, particularly in the bathroom. It definitely benefits from an outstanding location near the beach. Overall, excellent value for the money.

price was fair. close to beach and not a far walk from nightlife. room was clean (however, smelled of bleach). Bed was real firm. Construction was being done on the hotel. The big issue, FREE PARKING was advertised, however, appeared they don't have a spot for every room. Arrived at checkin time and no spots. After an hour, mgmt found a spot but was not big enough for a standard size pickup. Pictures appear old, as this place no longer looks this nice.

Check in was a breeze. Room had a terrible, artificial, strong deodorizer. Chairs just outside the room for people to smoke. Floor was the dirtiest ever. Couldn’t stand to have my shoes off. Great location but won’t be staying there again.
