Excellent
Pros:

This area of Pompano Beach is very nice. Easy to get to and quiet for the most part. The view is excellent. Check in is fairly easy. It has a nice pool and on site bar/restaurant. Water Taxi arrives as well. I checked in late and it wasn't a problem. They have snacks and drinks you can buy for your room.

Cons:

This place kind of old. One elevator not working is a pain. The plumbing is not that great. The windows have slats instead of black out curtains. Parking fee is high for each night you stay. So, there are a lot of extra fees on top of your booking. Not the securest hotel I have been to. Need to mix up breakfast, it's the same every day. Simply many things are outdated and need upgrades.

Bien pour court séjour et profitez de l’espace extérieur
Pros:

Proximité de la plage, la piscine et l’espace extérieur sont vraiment super beaux et le resto Lola’s est excellent. L’établissement est propre et la chambre aussi à notre arrivée.

Cons:

Les boîtes déjeuners sont vraiment ordinaires (danoises), les rideaux brisés laissent passer la lumière du jour et soir, un de nos lits étaient brisé, les matelas sont ultra mou.

Pros:

front desk staff was very good and the view was good.

Cons:

Room was old and tired, no couch to sit on. Humidity in the room was bad. Lack of a decent breakfast or a restaurant to have breakfast in. Parking and having to use an attendant was annoying but I believe this is done all over the city. Lack of planning on the city's part, I doubt if I would ever go back to Pompano Beach again.

Would not recommend
Pros:

Location was good. Good view. Good location for where I needed to be for work.

Cons:

Very dated and shabby room. Aircon was so noisy, sleep was not an option. But it was too hot not to have the aircon on.
Valet parking was a wait time of 20 minutes, so if wanting to travel anywhere by car, it wasn't worth the wait. Breakfast was not included even though it was paid for. A dry croissant was offered on departure.

Le bain rouillé et les stores qui ne s’ouvre pas. J’ai attendu 1h pour la réparation du lavabo et pour eux tous étaient normal.

Самый ужастный отель в котором мы останавливались!
Pros:

Самое хорошое в этом отеле это персонал

Cons:

Мы заплатили за включенный завтрак а его не было,потому что коробочка с водой,соком,яблоком,йогуртом из двумя булками это НЕ ЗАВТРАК! Нас было 4 человека но даже этих коробок нам давали 2 на семью, за остальные нас просили доплачивать (хотя завтрак был включен в стоимость)
В номере шкафа нет! В зоне где нужно вешать одежду стоит холодильник и микроволновая печь.В комнате на 4 человек было 2 разваливающих стула , матрасы на кроватях проваливаются, очень не удобные. Свободного места в номере практически нету. На балконе было 2 стола без столика хотя в соседних балконах был стол.Также постоянно были проблемы с лифтом, он часто не работал.
И самое ужасное что в номере живые тараканы! Мы уже много раз были на Флориде и никогда еще не встречали такого!
Сервис отеля на очень низком уровне.😕

EXCELLENT - 5 STARS -
Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had an excellent stay at this hotel from start to finish. The entire property was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable. My room was spotless, and it was clear that the housekeeping team takes great pride in keeping everything in top condition.

A special thank you to Raymond and the entire staff for their outstanding hospitality. Everyone was friendly, professional, and always willing to help with a smile. Their attention to detail and commitment to making guests feel welcome truly made a difference.

The service, cleanliness, and overall experience exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I will definitely be returning on my next visit!

Intercoastal Waterway Views
Pros:

Location on intercostal waterway was very nice. Easy to find from highway and close to many things to do. The Staff was nice and very friendly. The continental breakfast and coffee offered in the lobby was a nice bonus!

Cons:

The property was not like the posted pictures. It was tired and older. The AC units were old, loud and put heat out on the balcony. The plastic window coverings were from the 80’s and didn’t block the light. The king bed mattress was indented and old. The balcony and outdoor walkways need repainted. The furniture on the balconies needs replaced. The pool had algae issues. The shower’s were old and small but it was nice that shampoo, conditioner and shower gel were offered.

DISCRIMINATION!!!!!! Called cops on us.
Pros:

DISCRIMINATION!!! DENIED REGISTERED SERVICE ANIMAL & CALLED COPS ON US! DO NOT STAY HERE + ROOMS ARE DINGY, ROACH CAME OUT OF SINK DRAIN!!! Front desk staff JOE called the cops on my husband and I due to having a registered service animal & had us removed from premises at 11:00pm at night. Roach came up from kitchen sink when cops were speaking to us at our door. The police officers were SO confused and did not agree with the demand and claim made by JOE that they made their own claim and called us to follow up several times after incident.
I was uncertain if I would be staying at the hotel as we are here for business to renovate a condo we just purchased. I came in for lunch at Lola’s which my husband and I enjoyed during our last trip here. Lola’s is dog friendly, so it’s a bit jarring that the hotel had such strict disheartening policies towards pets, however my dog is not a pet he is a registered service animal. By law, in the United States a hotel cannot deny a service animal unless the animal is acting unruly or damaging to the property. When speaking with JOE at the desk, I was extremely respectful and showed him the documents for my service animal, I asked if I could speak with his manager who he said was not available until the morning. I said ok I will speak with him then and by law you cannot deny me. 20 minutes later cops were knocking at our door, they said JOE called the cops stating he was not comfortable with my husband staying there and that we need to leave. Upon leaving I told Joe again very respectively - I was nothing but respectful towards him, he blew this way out of proportion & the hotel is in fact discriminatory towards us. There are cameras and nothing was said or done for JOE to take such drastic action and have us removed. We even upgraded our room ( which they are all horrible especially compared to other hotels in the vicinity )
A terrible way to treat people! Luckily we found a cute room near by at midnight and the cops helped us and made sure we were comfortable. DENYING and hassling anyone over a service animal is ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!! A police report will be filed on our behalf as well as a discrimination case. Be careful if you sneeze wrong at the front desk they may call the cops on you and have you removed because they feel uncomfortable!!!!
