this is a very small property, there isn't a pool but it has a very small courtyard. It is very close to the beach, great location and walking distance to the popular beach area of Fort Lauderdale. It wasn't as clean as I had hoped, but it was just for one night before flying home from a week's cruise. It met our needs, but don't think I would enjoy staying there for a long period of time with no real area to hang out.

Good and safe hotel for walking distance for beach area. A little expensive but not too bad. I wish they cleaned the rooms everyday. They don’t clean the rooms or make the beds usually except for new guests. Although, they do give news towels if you ask. They also provide water and beach towels which helps a lot, especially in the hot weather.
