Standard king and double rooms manage the basics, from full baths to free multi-channel Showtime movies.

Recreation

A grassy area planted with palm trees and other native foliage marks the spot for impromptu barbecues. Guests can pack a basket and fire up the grills to enjoy alfresco dining at picnic tables.

CLEAN ROOM/ GOOD FOOD/ NICE POOL

I WANTED A CLEAN ROOM, LATE CHECK IN, A 10AM WAKEUP CALL AND FREE SHUTTLE TO THE AIRPORT, GOT IT ALL AS REQUESTED. BE AWARE THIS IS NOT A RESORT OR HIGH END HOTEL. ITS CHEAP, CLEAN AND CLOSE TO THE AIRPORT.

Good enough for the price

The hotel is inexpensive. We rented it to stay one night because we flew into Ft. Lauderdale late and didn't want to spend a fortune just to sleep for 8 hours. Therefore, we didn't really have high expectations. The room was clean. The bed was decent. The toliet wasn't sealed properly to the floor, so it rocked when you sat on it....not that big of a deal though. The only real complaint is that the A/C wasn't strong enough. My husband and I were sweating in the middle of the night and too tired to request another room. Another little mishap (hard to tell if it was the hotel's fault or these people) was that someone was trying to get into our room in the middle of the night. It seemed like a couple who checked into the hotel and either the hotel gave them the wrong room or they came to the wrong room. Who knows. But all in all the room was okay for the money.

very satisfied

i cant understand the bad reviews on this place. its one of the better values i have experienced. you are not going to get mints on the pillow and spritzer water for this price, though some expect u should. This hotel was clean, the rooms nice, no smell, very good location to the airport, a few restaurants close by. would highly recommend especially with the price

Resonable

The hotel was fine for the price.Not a great place. If you choose it for the shuttle service to the cruise line or airport be patient,it takes a while. Staff is friendly.

Would stay again just for shuttle

We booked this hotel specifically because they offered shuttle service from/to airport and cruise port. They did, but the wait was extremely long, and many people on a tight schedule called taxis anyway rather than wait. Staff was friendly and pleasant though obviously overworked. The lines at the front desk never ended while we were there. Perhaps it was just our Friday/Saturday date when 8 ships were leaving. The place was clean, quiet and pleasant, but a free breakfast (even coffee) would have been welcome. We seemed isolated.

GOOD LOCATION, PRETTY BAD PROPERTY

ALTHOUGH I CANT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CLEANLINESS OR THE SERVICE, THE PROPERTY WAS BADLY I NEED OF RENOVATION. IF YOU WANT SOMETHING VERY CHEAP AND NEAR THE HOTEL, IT'S OKAY, BUT FOR THE LITTLE EXTRA MONEY, NEXT TIME I'LL STAY AT THE BEST WESTERN NEARBY. I THINK I THINKING OF THE RED ROOF CHAIN, AND THIS IS THE RED CARPET INN

good location

After disembarking the cruise ship I called the hotel for the shuttle, after waiting 30 minutes at the cruise port for the shuttle, I called again, shortly afterward, the shuttle blew right past us! So I called again and the hotel had the shuttle driver turn around and p;ick us up. Then upon leaving the Hotel and waiting 30 minutes for the courtesy shuttle, it became too full and we had to take a cab to airport.
