I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were not only spacious but also offered a lovely view overlooking the garden and pool. The service was friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants, which was a total bonus. However, I did find the dining options limited, which could use some improvement. Overall, the value for money was excellent, but there were some cleanliness issues that need to be addressed.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel over Labor Day weekend! The location is unbeatable, just a quick two-minute walk to the beach and close to all the action in Lauderdale by the Sea. The rooms are spacious and feel more like an apartment, complete with a full kitchen. The staff was incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome throughout my stay. While I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, the building construction did mean some noise traveled between apartments, which was a bit of a downside.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and peaceful, with a nice kitchen, but they could really use a deep clean as I found some sand in the sheets and ants in the bathroom. The staff, however, was extremely friendly and accommodating, which made my stay a bit brighter. The location is fantastic, just a block from the beach, but construction noise was a downside. Overall, it’s a decent value for the space it offers but needs some improvements.
