I’ve been coming to this place over the years, and I must say I really love the new updates—they’ve made it very comfortable. The staff was great; they greeted me warmly and made sure I had everything I needed. Breakfast was great as well. I love this location because it’s close to everything, yet the area is calm, relaxed, and laid back. I’ll definitely continue to stay here.

We needed a room for one night on January 23rd 2026 before we left on a cruise out of Miami the next day. We were so happy that we chose this hotel. It was very easy to call the hotel and let them know when we were ready for a free pick up from FLL and it did not take long for the gentleman to get there. He was a great driver and very friendly. Check in was a breeze and the lady at the front desk was so nice. There were four of us in our parts so we had a double queen suite and it was very clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was your standard breakfast but it was good. This is definitely a place we’ll start again if we cruise out of Miami. It’s an added bonus to have restaurants right across the street, a Walmart right across the street and a Walgreens in the same parking lot.

We stayed 1 night before our early flight. The transfer was prompt and got us there in plenty of time. Room was clean and comfortable. Nice small pool area. Reasonably priced. Front desk ladies were very nice and helpful. I would stay here again.

I have stayed at this hotel a few times. The rooms are always clean, the lobby smells good and it is near to many shops and restaurants. The TV have premium channels to enjoy. Sausage and eggs are now being included with the breakfast items. I've never seen them offer those in the past.

Spent one night here prior to a cruise out of Ft Lauderdale. We've been to Ft. Lauderdale a few other times always staying at different hotels. Until now. Definitely will be a repeat guest here. Convenient location close to FLL & cruise port. A small shopping strip mall across the street, pharmacy nearby, restaurants. Even our friends travelling with us said they'd likely stay here again. Clean rooms. Warm breakfast.

This is a good hotel with excellent pricing for a pre- cruise stay. Technically I'd give 3 1/2 stars but went to 4 for the cleanliness. The lobby and room were clean and smelled good. The staff takes pride in taking care of the hotel. The room had the things we needed. The ice and water were good. They have snacks for sale in the lobby. The negatives were that the breakfast is limited, our toilet didn't work correctly, shower pressure is poor, and you have to wait a while after turning on the shower before getting in. It took a while to warm up then it was too hot. The location is close to everything we needed with a short Uber drive. Overall, I would stay here again for a one night pre- cruise.

I was staying in South Beach and had a 9pm flight out of fort Lauderdale canceled around 4pm and had to find a new hotel close to the airport last min. The room I got was $154 with price line and it was beautiful. It also came with free breakfast the next morning, bag storage for the day and a shuttle to the airport for my new flight tonight. Staff were also all very wonder, helpful, kind, and polite. Room was beautiful and clean. Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants to stay close to the airport or had a forced last min change of plans.

The staff was nice & location to the airport is great. The room was clean & bed was comfy. My only real complaint is the lack of water pressure in the shower. After a long day of traveling I was looking forward to a nice shower, but the low water pressure made it not very relaxing.
