NOBLETON HOTEL, Fort Lauderdale

The beach is reachable in about 3 minutes on foot via a quiet residential block. Numerous restaurants, bars and a CVS are within a short walk, making it easy to find dining options without a car. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park is a 3-minute drive away, and Bonnet House Museum & Gardens is 2 km from the property. The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale shopping centre is 2 km away. The property is 15-20 minutes from both Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and the cruise port, but no shuttle service is available. Parking is free but limited; a permit is required and available on arrival.

Each room features air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a microwave, a refrigerator, a coffee maker and kitchenware. Some rooms include a full kitchen with a toaster and a separate living/dining area. Room types range from double rooms with two beds to larger studios with a kitchenette and sofa. Bathrooms are private with an en suite shower. Although renovated, rooms show signs of wear such as peeling paint and cabinet wear; cleaning standards vary. No rooms have a balcony. Only stairs lead to the second floor; there is no lift. Request a room away from the road if noise is a concern, and note that the electronic door lock code is not changed between stays.

The motel does not serve breakfast, lunch or dinner, and there is no restaurant or bar on site. However, the location provides easy access to more than a dozen restaurants within a 5-minute walk, including S3 Sun Surf Sand Restaurant, Lona Cocina Tequilera, El Vez Fort Lauderdale and East City Grill. A CVS and a Publix grocery store are also nearby, making it easy to stock up on supplies. Each room contains a microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker for self-catering. Guests planning a longer stay or wanting a fuller meal should budget for eating out or shopping locally.

Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas. Parking is free but limited; a permit must be displayed in the vehicle window. The property offers self-check-in with a door code sent two days before arrival, and there is no on-site staff after 17:00.

Express check-in/out and private check-in/out are available, and an invoice is provided. Cots are available on request. Pets are not allowed.
