Pool are is good. Location is the best. But room is where you get what you pay for.. very old and neglected. Dirty not as in not cleaned but just old, rusted, chipped paint. ##### Alisa Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeane Jan 11, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Pros: the room was clean and it’s a quick walk to the beach. Cons: folks at the reception desk ( with the exception of one guy who was working Sunday morning) were very unfriendly and not welcoming at all, I mean, not even a “hello.” The room was clean but spartan, bed was rock hard, bedspread dingy and worn, no hair dryer, no cups, no coffee. The place gets a 3\* for location only ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a4c24f47-a07c-4187-90d0-7eeba716fd26-1768147197818.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jeane Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy Oct 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities One block from the beach, very clean, quiet, and comfortable.

You get what you pay for. ##### Patricia Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brianna Dec 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities Room was relatively spacious. Washroom was nice. The walls were not sound proof and you could hear everything in the room next to us. AC was leaking water and created a “wet” smell in the room. Limited amenities. No iron, no water, no safe in room etc. This is not a hotel, it’s more of a motel or inn. Location is very convenient though. Overall, stay was maybe a 6/10\. ##### Brianna Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### RODNEY Nov 7, 2025 AC worked, room was clean but spare; no phone and needed airing out upon arrival. Price was primary consideration for staying here. Marriott next door had food & drink, Uber service to & from airport and pier were good. ##### RODNEY Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Noelis Jan 15, 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness My room smelled of mildew, the floor was slippery and there was mold in the bathroom. On top of that, we requested a nonsmoking room. What we got was cigarette burns on the bedding. My partner and I had just driven 5 hours to get to Fort Lauderdale, and after all that we still had to step out to buy cleaning products simply to stay the night. It was that bad. The only benefit of staying here was the proximity to the beach and the walkability, there are a lot of restaurants and stores within walking distance. don’t come here unless you want to spend $45 on cleaning products to clean your own hotel room. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7e60a967-5a61-47a6-8a22-e8c990bb8c37-1768497749810.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ad40ab6b-2787-46fe-8616-5cd6a6551766-1768497751079.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7bf50d1f-aa4c-4bb9-93ce-4e7d7597199b-1768497750531.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aca2c2c4-c013-4ce6-8c40-041a866241d9-1768497750996.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Noelis Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Hannah Oct 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Everything was great! Lots of mosquitos and gnats were in our room, but overall it was a clean and subtle place to stay for one night. ##### Hannah Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Melora Jul 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The hotel is basic but staff and location are great! ##### Melora Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joshua Nov 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The Room was great for what we needed it for. The shower head was messed up a bit and there is no ventilation in the bathroom so you will definitely have to open a window for air but besides that, it was a good experience. Limited parking so if out at the end of the night, you'll have to hope that parking is available. Any additional requests we asked for as far as towels or other things, they were quick to take care of which I appreciated. Great location close to the beach and other shopping and dining. I would stay there again! ##### Joshua Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David Aug 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Hotel for the price. Great hotel for the price. Rooms are clean and staff are friendly. Love the location close to the beach and restaurants. Only draw back is the lack of onsite parking if you leave there may not be a space. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location, clean and quiet ##### Nicole Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana Jun 14, 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Great little hotel! Close to the beach and amazing price! ##### Diana Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### greg Jan 14, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness The location is ideal - less than a block to the beach. The room is "no frills" - very basic with not even a chair in it. I called it a step above army barracks. There is a courtyard just outside your room where you can sit with a table. However, at night homeless people occupy the courtyard and the other chairs which are IMMEDIATELY outside your door, like less than six feet. They are not New York crazy homeless people, just homeless and actually quite polite and not threatening in their demeanor at all. On the of the five nights I stayed there were homeless people outside on three of the nights. That said, I can overlook it and I actually felt sorry for them. Two of the nights it was pouring rain and they just wanted to sleep under the five feet of shelter just outside my room. They leave first thing in the morning. Even with all of that I would still stay here again because of the strategic location and the bargain basement price versus everything else in the area. ##### greg Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### John Jun 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice quiet property located in walking distance of many restaurants and the beach.
