First off, for those who are in Pompano mostly for beach time, the location of this place is perfect; it is literally a 5 minute walk. The motel itself is VERY dated and not well maintained, inside OR out, with pots of dead plants around a somewhat murky pool, a bedside light with a broken switch requiring you to get out of bed to turn it off at the wall switch, an ill-fitting , broken toilet seat,a shower curtain rod hung crookedly that makes the too small in any case shower curtain slide open constantly during a shower and a door that is very difficult to open, maintenance is pretty abysmal. No way is this place “clean”, but I guess it could be worse… the sheets looked ok but the towels were dingy and stained. Black mold in the tub and windows that apparently have NEVER been washed make it pretty drab. On the plus side, I saw no bugs and the owner(I THINK) came right up to fix my tv remote when I called to say it didn’t work. Overall, a real mixed bag experience; if you are a clean freak or like luxury, keep driving right on by The Palms on Ocean
