Highly recommend! Came a day early for a cruise and wanted a place within walking distance of activities with comfort and view.

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!

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…

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.

Solid hotel, great bartender!
Jul 23, 2025Jason DSt. Johns, Florida
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.
Nice, Pricey, Modern Hotel, but With Night Lights

This is a modern hotel with large modern rooms. The good: 1. Location is great, right across from beach with high end restaurants and mini malls (containg a CVS, convenience store, souvenier stores and mid-range restaurants) nearby. 2. The balconies are quite large. 3. The hotel is very clean and the beds are quite comfortable. 4. Staff is…

This is a modern hotel with large modern rooms. The good: 1. Location is great, right across from beach with high end restaurants and mini malls (containg a CVS, convenience store, souvenier stores and mid-range restaurants) nearby. 2. The balconies are quite large. 3. The hotel is very clean and the beds are quite comfortable. 4. Staff is friendly. The not-so-good: 1. The room had an infernal night light that was on all night and could not be turned off which, according to front desk, is a saftey feature that all the rooms have. I requested that it either be disconnected or covered. The hotel covered it but with a blue transparent tape that still let light out. I had to go ahead and use the room key card envelope to completely cover it myself, but some light still shown through. If you are like me and like complete darkness to sleep, I'd consider somewhere else. 2. We booked an Ocenfront room with a wrap-around balcony. The room we received, while it did have a great ocean view as well as a partial bay view, was not a true Oceanfront room which is what we paid for. Ocean front rooms presumably (and those I have previously booked) have unobstructed views to the front, left and right. Here, the view was obstructed to the left and right by buildings (see pictures). Not to be picky, but this should be disclosed given the premium price you pay for this room. I do not rmember the room number but it is the first room you say on the right when you get off the elevator. I did not complain since I was only staying a couple of nights prior to my cruise.
