Overall Score4.0/ 5
I had no idea it was Daytona Race/Valentine's/President's Day and every hotel in Fort Lauderdale was booked. This was the only hotel that took me and they were prompt and got back to me. They were priced right. I'm inside by the pool area, very quiet and very nice. It's been very nice and everyone has been very kind. I like the price and location is just what I need!

22-Feb-2025 Verified Review, stayed from Sun Feb 16 to Wed Feb 19 2025 at a $86.32 average nightly rate. "Scary/unsafe"
Overall Score1.0/ 5
We booked this after a flight was cancelled. After arriving a man (who appeared to be on meth) warned us that the property was not suitable for children. Like rent by the hour and have your children abducted kind of place. We tried to stick it out and planned to stay on the property and be inside before it got dark. We went to the hotel pool and felt wildly uncomfortable. People were staring and I'm worried I may now fail a drug test due to second hand smoke. After about one hour there total we felt so unsafe that we took our children and left. We did not receive a refund but decided to eat the cost. The room was dirty and there was hair in the bed.
