Nice stay
This is a small quaint motel. It is an older property as are many in the Ft Lauderdale and Lauderdale by the sea areas but this motel has been updated and was perfectly adequate, especially for the price. We had a basic room but it was still equipped with a small coffee maker and a dorm room sized refrigerator. The property was clean, the bed was comfortable and the staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a small pool with a nice lounging area around it. The property is within walking distance of the pier and beach and there are plenty of shopping opportunities along with bars and restaurants. My only issue would be that the water in the bathroom sink had a slight yellowish tint to it and i didnt ask the staff about it so I'm not sure what the cause was for that. Overall this is a nice property(again, especially for the money-we stayed in a basic king room and paid just over $100/night)and we would definitely stay here in the future.

Great location, cozy out door atmosphere. Out door furniture could use an upgrade, as well as bbq was very small. House keeping did not come in to do light clean towel bedding change unless requested. Overall good value for your money. Renee was very accommodating.

Our room with a kitchenette was clean, comfortable and perfect for our 2 day stay. The kitchen was well supplied with everything. The only thing I would suggest is to have a comfy chair and another luggage rack. Also, the mattress needed to be replaced or flipped and rotated.

Renee was great! We rented the king studio. Our room had everything we could have needed. The hotel is small and inviting. The pool area had a great vibe. The beach was a block away and all the area restaurants and night life just 3 blocks down. They even had umbrellas and chairs you can barrow for the beach!
