Do Not Recommend For Anyone
Very disappointed in this property. As soon as we walked in the office and saw the condition it was in I wish we would have turned right around. Very old building that is not well maintained. Room had a very odd smell, our feet turned black after walking barefoot on the floor and tv was stuck on a connect to internet screen and the front desk didn’t know how to fix it. Lamps at the bedside did not work, no washcloths in the bathroom and water in the shower was scorching hot. Would not recommend this to anyone trying to relax after a nice day in beautiful Ft. Lauderdale.

It was a great location. One block off the beach. It looks like there was recent renovation. Bathroom remodel with a nice walk-in shower. Furniture looked newer. Ask for a second floor room.. noisy on the first floor.

OK but not great
We stayed here one night before embarking on a cruise. It was clean enough but I was a little thrown in the morning getting into the shower when I noticed the soap and wrapper from the previous occupants were still there. A little artwork on the walls would go a long way to add a little charm as well. No chair in the room either. Staff was not particularly helpful .
