“Don’t do it ! Main reason we stayed was that they did”

Oct 31, 2025Liz M

Don’t do it! We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale for a cruise the next day. Got our bags and called for the shuttle. Go to The right to F and wait there. We did. And we waited…. The hotel is not even 3 miles away. Called again, 20 mins later to check on the shuttle. “ oh on its way.” Ok. Another 30 mins I called again. “Opps, he had a little incident. He is 12 minutes away.” Guy shows up. No “incident”, no “on his way. “He got called into a 30 minute meeting when he was leaving to get us. Not a great start 8 mins later we were at the hotel. “The system is rebooting and we can’t give you keys, but security will take you up to drop your bags.” I asked how long it would be. “A little bit.” “ Is that a few minutes, 30 minutes, what?” Oh about 30. Will you call me to let me know when we can get the key? “ Sure, we have your number.” 3 hours later we go up to the desk asking about the keys. She had them waiting there. I asked why she didn’t call. “ oh , I did, it went to voicemail” come up with another line sister, cell phones show if you missed a call. Mire lies. Put us in 931. The place smells moldy and the temperature does not go below 65, which is really about 68. Went downstairs to grab a drink. Aubrey is their saving grace. He is a great bartender and mixes a great drink. Big smile, very kind, makes a great drink. Fabulous bartender and the only reason this place got 2 stars. Back to the room to try to sleep, awful beds, couldn’t breathe, got all stopped up with mold and mildew. I will look elsewhere next time I come to FFL. Go someplace else. Only deserving of 2 stars. It’s almost 1 am, can’t breathe, can’t sleep, get us a outta here!!

“Terrible!”

At first, this was a dream come true. By far the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed in and at an affordable price. Beds were very comfortable and the view was spectacular! We were upgraded and the room was very nice and had a balcony. However, not all of the rules were disclosed. Beware! The room is affordable but they charge you for EVERYTHING! No one told us but breakfast is NOT continental! We went to breakfast the first morning and after we sat down with our plates, we were approached by a staff member with a ticket and asked if we knew “how it worked?” We were charged $58 for 2 adult breakfasts! This was just one example. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT recommend this hotel!

“Pros & Cons”

Oct 27, 2025Discover24043173881

Room view was great, exactly what I wanted. Spacious and clean. Definitely 10/10. Some window treatments did not work, I had to push them aside and hold them back with a piece of furniture. Nice furniture inside and out. Nice bathroom except for the very slow draining. Clean and plentiful towels. Refrigerator had a lot of condensation that dripped into the drawer and got my clothes wet. Inadequate space to keep clothing. Sufficient staff but certainly not out of the way friendly. Very adequate temperature control and room lighting. Great location. PRO TIP: go to cvs down the street and buy a beach chair to use, place it in the shade of a palm tree PRO TIP: review your bar tab, mine included the bartender's tip labeled as service charge but then also had a blank line for you to add the tip, it was very deceiving RECOMMENDING: Casablanca Cafe is excellent food, service, and reasonable prices
