Rude

The staff were so kind and really made an effort to make our stay a good one!! The only thing we wish is that the room air would have been cooler. We had a full view of the ocean and maybe that affected the air conditioning not being strong enough to cool the room. The temp stayed around 78/79 during the day and well into the evening. But interestingly, the air blowing out the vent was cool. Aside from that, we enjoyed our stay and the location is near a lot of stores and restaurants. El Topical was recommended and we loved it!!

Pros: Mark kindly allowed us to check in early after traveling all morning. Logan, the bellman, was friendly & cheerful. John was the hardest-working man on the beach, constantly checking on us and keeping us hydrated, even when we weren’t ordering from the menu. Our housekeeper, Marie L., kept our suite spotless & provided fresh towels with a smile. All 3 deserve recognition for their outstanding service! The beachfront location on N. Ocean BLVD is convenient, & the $2 public bus along A1A is a budget-friendly alternative to Uber & Lyft. Cons: The thin walls allowed hallway noise into our suite, and we could hear washing machines as early as 7 a.m. Our biggest disappointment—and the reason we WON’T return—is the lack of a microwave! A lavish minibar & cute aqua-blue refrigerator, but no microwave? Restaurants serve generous portions, & we wasted considerable food & $$ because we couldn’t reheat leftovers. For a resort charging high rates & hefty resort fees, this basic amenity should be standard! We also discovered by chance from a Las Olas shop owner that the resort offers a complimentary shuttle to Las Olas Boulevard & other stops along N. Ocean Boulevard. Why wasn’t this mentioned at check-in? Better communication could have saved us transportation expenses. Final Verdict: We appreciate the excellent staff, but noise, wasted food, poor communication, & high resort fees outweigh the positives. This was our 2nd stay, & 2 visits are enough. We won’t be returning!

Will go again. Parking is expensive… the rest is all excellent
