Convenient location, kind staff, top-notch restaurant. The breakfast was delicious with a lot of items. The staff did all they can for an outstanding stay. The service was admirable, totally satisfied. Original hotel, 10 minutes' walk from the downtown.
It is undoubtedly a beachfront option when you are in Fort Lauderdale. Splendid food and bright room - had a really nice stay. Particularly good location, in the downtown area. Heated pool area too.
Unbeatable location, the restaurant was outstanding and the service was admirable. The hotel's staff was approachable. Wonderful view, a big balcony, large bed, too. I found there a wide range of restaurants to eat, like red door asian bistro that is only 5 minutes' walk away.
