I love this hotel and I especially enjoyed the services at Radiant 166 restaurant. The services here is everlasting. Randa's jovial personality and Al Abreu's expresso martini's are to die for! Thank you both for your exceptional services......I will definitely make this my hotel of choice.

Highly recommend! Came a day early for a cruise and wanted a place within walking distance of activities with comfort and view. Arrived at hotel at 1pm expecting to store luggage and walk around until 4, but the front desk was able to get us in our room right away - which was a great bonus after an early morning flight!

Highly recommend! Came a day early for a cruise and wanted a place within walking distance of activities with comfort and view. Arrived at hotel at 1pm expecting to store luggage and walk around until 4, but the front desk was able to get us in our room right away - which was a great bonus after an early morning flight! Hotel is clean and airy, linens are soft and bright. The shower has a rain head and standard. Balcony is on small side but perfect for a cup of coffee or glass of wine before going out. Walkable to a ton of restaurants, nicely situated off the main road keeping it on the quiet side. The new building next to it is really nice, although I believe it took some of the ocean view from AC. The lavender sachets for under the pillow at night are adorable! And the price is amazing - low cost, high value!!! 10/10, will definitely stay again! Read less

Booked an ocean front room for an overnight stay before our cruise in fort Lauderdale. Requested early check-in. Get to the front desk and the girl says there's no rooms ready. Explain to her that we just flew cross country. I just got done with a chemo treatment and I need the rest. She goes well. There's nothing I can do so we sat in the lobby… Read more
Booked an ocean front room for an overnight stay before our cruise in fort Lauderdale. Requested early check-in. Get to the front desk and the girl says there's no rooms ready. Explain to her that we just flew cross country. I just got done with a chemo treatment and I need the rest. She goes well. There's nothing I can do so we sat in the lobby for an hour and a half. And to top that once they hand you the key they tell you there's a $30 resort fee and at $53 valet parking fee. So whatever you book add $83 on top of it. The only people that were friendly and courteous were the valets. The front desk didn't care at all. I stay away from this hotel. Read less

Rooms are clean and nice. Beds are comfortable. The bar is nice and the bartender Ali is amazing. He was extremely nice and great to talk to...very welcoming. The parking in the garage could be better however, I would definitely recommend staying here.
