Cottage, not Castle

The woman at the front desk was super helpful but our room was so tiny. It was hard to get around the bed, no hot water and no counter space in the bathroom. The location was great and the pool was nice and heated.

Nice little place on busy road

Nice place, decent rooms and made reasonable accommodations to our needs coming in late and switching rooms mid-trip. The heated outdoor pool was nice, very warm at first but we were able to adjust that easily enough. Rooms were clean, mattresses were a bit thin, not super comfortable, but sufficient.

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.
