"It was pretty dumpy"

"yes"

"The room was dirty and we had to get our own towels toilet paper water every day. "

"Pool is awful, small and not heated. Rooms are very nice. Restaurant is closed, was the best? Nice area downtown "

"The location was convenient, the staff was friendly and helpful & the room was clean. The biggest problem we had was that we were on the 4th floor and the elevator was out of order. Hauling bags up and down was annoying. Also if your room key got anywhere near your phone it would deactivate which meant another trip down and back up 4 flights of stairs. The other thing that was not great is that our room faced a construction site and work started very early and was very loud. We only stayed for 1 night before a cruise & for the price I have no regrets & wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. However, if you are planning to stay for more than a couple days I would choose elsewhere."

"Clean room, beautiful view. Please know that much of the hotel has been renovated and they were working on the remainder of the rooms while we were there. This hotel has its blemishes, but has even more unique character traits that we thought we very cool throwbacks. For example, the elevator and lobby reminded me of the 50’s, but updated… The pool and beach were excellent. "

"Clean room, great view! Friendly staff. Enjoyed my stay. Location is great, quieter part of FT. lauderdale, but still close to a lot of things"

"The pool was comfortable and well maintained. Lovely area to sit and relax!"

"Very busy hotel. Check-in process was chaotic and we waited in restaurant for a long time. The lady at the front desk said she would call us when it was ready and did not. I went down to find a massive line. Our room was ready. They say cruise shuttle for a fee, but all they do is give you a phone number to an external company and you arrange it yourself so I don’t believe they should list this as a service they provide. The hotel shuttle from the airport you must call the hotel after you have your luggage. Rooms were decent but a little worn in the bathroom."
