Categories

Cleanliness
8.5
Generally clean public areas, pool and hot tub were praised; however occasional housekeeping lapses (sheets with odor, incomplete room cleaning) and disruptive maintenance (shop-vac noise) were reported.
Service
8
Mixed service reports: valet and many front-line staff received strong praise, but several guests reported surly front-desk interactions, refusals to change rooms, and inadequate housekeeping response.
Location
9.5
Frequently described as a very convenient, quiet and well-located hotel near downtown/beach; a minority noted misleading balcony views (facing condos) but overall location is a strong positive.
Room Quality
6
Multiple significant room issues noted: very poor mattress causing back pain, intermittent/no hot water, toilet failures, and phone/WiFi outages for some guests — room comfort is a clear weakness.
Amenities
9.5
Pool, hot tub and gym were consistently praised and well-maintained; on-site cafe received positive mentions. Some amenity complaints (beach equipment quality, paid parking) are service/fee related rather than facility quality.
Value for Money
6
Several complaints about unexpected or high fees (valet/paid parking ~$39–$43/night), held deposits/not-refunded, and perceived poor value for some paid extras.
Food and Beverage
6.5
Mixed F&B feedback: the cafe was liked by some, but kitchen/dinner items were sometimes unavailable or described as tasteless; service delays for meals were also reported.
Overall Experience
10
Reviews are polarized: many guests report excellent, peaceful stays and return visits praising staff and location, while a subset experienced serious service/room issues. Overall guest satisfaction trends positive but with notable problem incidents.

Frustrating and terrible service and attitude
Pros:

Jamie and the other parking valet staff were wonderful. That's all that we liked.

Cons:

probably the worst hotel service ever. no hot water; we complained; Tod twice it was fixed; then told we needed to run it for 5 minutes b4 we needed it as it took a long time to get to our room. Keiffer, the front desk person, was surly on the phone and unwilling to help; refused to change our room. We requested full housekeeping and all they did was give us fresh towels - did not make bed, empty trash, replenish coffee, etc. We complained and said they could send housekeeping after 6 pm which was not convenient for us. there was a portable vacuum running in the hallway 24/7 with a hose extended into the ceiling

Cons:

They give you a balcony room on the back of the hotel looking at the condos which is misleading. Toilet stopped flushing in the middle of the night. Shop vac was hooked up to something in the ceiling and ran the entire time. Food on the menu was not available as stated. Had to order three different times to get dinner. Nothing close by to grab dinner without driving. Received our bill to our email in Spanish, we are surely not Hispanic.

I wouldn’t come back
Cons:

The WiFi was down for 2 days, I came there on vacation. The phone was not working in the room, and it’s crazy because I stay at the cambria in Orlando it was really good that’s why I booked it here in Fort Lauderdale but it was just a bad experience for me

Decent Stay
Pros:

It was beautiful, the exterior and interior of the property was really nice and even the rooms were nice as well. I do like the constant communication to make sure we were comfortable, I liked their little cafe that served good food, and the pool and hot tub was great. The location was perfect, near enough to downtown area but not in it which I enjoy having two small kids.

Cons:

You are required to valet your car which is $39 a night, I thought that was ridiculous. Also, we paid to rent their beach equipment like the tent and it just did not work, seemed cheap for the price. The bathroom was not running hot water, I could barely say it was warm- it got warm once and then went away. The sheets had a weird smell and there is a blinking light at night.

Cons:

The bed's mattress was extremely bad and caused me severe back pain; I am still taking painkillers for the pain. I spoke to the front desk staff, and they told me the mattresses were new—only two months old. I had booked a two-night stay and asked for a refund because I didn't want to stay, but they told me it was too late and refused to refund the money. They still haven't returned the $172 deposit they held for the reservation.
I am requesting a refund; I was not satisfied with the service.
