Positive Reviews
positive:
Motorist-friendly location
Motorists in particular found this motel's location to be very convenient. It was just off the highway, offered free parking and was close to gas stations and roadside restaurants. Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood International Airport and cruise terminals were a short drive away and it was only five minutes' drive from some top Florida beaches.
positive:
Frequent praise for rooms, rates and facilities
Room rates were reportedly competitive for accommodation close to the beach. Many guests felt they got decent value for money as the basic but functional rooms were updated and often described as clean and comfortable enough for a short stay. There was further praise for the pleasant swimming pool, although some guests had qualms about some of the rooms being fairly small or dimly lit. Others wished a proper breakfast had been offered. Freebies like parking, expanded cable channels and morning coffee were popular with those traveling on a budget.
positive:
Friendly staff
Reviewers frequently described personnel as courteous, professional and attentive. However, sometimes check-in was reportedly slow during periods of peak demand, prompting some critics to wonder if the motel was short-staffed.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Bothersome smells and noises
Some guests were unhappy to discover stale tobacco smells or damp odors in certain rooms. Meanwhile, light sleepers occasionally blamed noise from adjacent rooms and corridors for disturbing their rest.
negative:
Occasional cleanliness grumbles
Although many reviewers said the rooms were spotlessly clean, there were others who disagreed. Critics said some of the bathrooms could have been more thoroughly cleaned or that they encountered stained sheets. According to a few travelers, pest prevention measures weren't always as effective as they ought to have been.
negative:
No free Wi-Fi
Additional charges for in-room Wi-Fi access were unpopular with guests, who felt it ought to have been provided free of charge.
