I was needing an affordable place to stay for a week while in town on business. The staff was nice and the place was pretty comfortable and clean. And I generally felt safe in the area. The place definitely met its expectations for the money, and slightly exceeded them.

Very small and lots of problems with amenities
Very, very tiny room; the size of a larger tool-shed. The ceiling light didn't work. The jacuzzi didn't heat up; I texted about the issue and they just stopped responding to me. There was no heat in the room (they did bring me a portable heater when the weather dipped into the 40s). The tv worked, but the video signal skipped like crazy every dozen or so seconds, making Netflix or Hulu impossible to watch on the tv without losing your mind. I would have been happy with this room had it been priced somewhere btw $50-100. Over that is just insane for the size of the room and the quality of the amenities. The positives: The covered patio is nice and relaxing, the property was quiet, the signal for cell calls and internet was good, the property was central, and the area felt safe.

Honest Feedback
My first night, This place is exactly as advertised. It’s quaint, should think about upsizing the tv and adding a tv in the bedroom. Manager opted to communicate via text, I reached out for more towels and didn’t receive a response until I decided to call two hours later…. No answer to my initial call and received a call back half hour later. Should also leave more extra towels, I requested more towels only to be told the manager had conveniently just left for the day so had to wait until the following day for that. The next day Returned to my dedicated parking spot being claimed by someone else unbeknownst to the manager but nothing happened and I ended up having to block two cars in the office driveway spots…. One of the neighbors had too many visitors and they blocked two extra parking spaces including my own and another’s, who had dogs during their stay and the manager elected to lie on me and say that I shared that I was allergic to dogs and complained on them, a lie! I own a dog myself coincidentally 🙃 both them and myself shared story during our parking spot exchange about how much bs we’ve both heard. These ppl are a joke and don’t know how to collectively handle their own residence. The overall stay alright but could have definitely been better, comfortable spot not so great management.

Property was good, the only issue I had was my wife wanted to try out the hot tub and this group of black guys were always sitting or sleeping on it and it made her feel uncomfortable that she had to go ask then probably have a audience after the fact.

Great little spot
I stayed here last week with some friends and had booked a second weekend. They ended up going home but I came and stayed anyway. Is a great place if you’re staying in Fort Lauderdale and need some rest and relaxation.
