SNOOZE, Fort Lauderdale

The hotel sits on the main beachfront drag, A1A, directly opposite the sand. Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port is 2 km away and FLL Airport is 7 km - ride-share costs roughly $10 and $20 respectively, as there is no hotel shuttle. Restaurants like Lulu's Bait Shack, Casablanca Cafe, and Burlock Coast are within a 5-minute walk, as is a CVS for groceries and sundries. Las Olas Boulevard, with its shopping and dining, is about 2 km south. The area is safe and walkable for daytime and evening exploring, though the street can be loud at night; rooms at the back of the hotel are quieter.

Room choices include standard king, double queen, kitchenette suites, and a dormitory room. Kitchenette rooms are spacious (roughly twice the size of a standard king) and include a microwave, toaster, dining area, cookware, dishes, and silverware. Ocean-view rooms overlook the beach, while rooms at the back are quieter and overlook other buildings. The dormitory room has basic cable TV and air conditioning. All rooms offer air conditioning, heating, tea/coffee facilities, a sitting area, and a flat-screen TV. While some compact standard rooms have a wall rack instead of a closet, larger suites offer ample storage. The property is older and has an intentionally retro, beachy feel; soundproofing between rooms and windows can be limited, so street-facing rooms may hear A1A traffic at night.

The hotel has no dining facilities of its own, but the adjoining Casablanca Cafe is a popular spot serving American fare from morning through evening, including daily happy hour until 7pm. For quick coffee, a Starbucks is a 2-minute walk away, and a CVS a block away for groceries. Within a 5-10 minute walk along A1A and Las Olas Boulevard, guests find casual bites (Lulu's Bait Shack, Hooters), mid-range options (Burlock Coast, El Vez), and lively bars. The kitchenette rooms are suitable for preparing simple meals; the rooftop and 2nd floor terraces are pleasant spots for self-made breakfast or drinks.

Wi-Fi is free in all areas. Secure luggage storage is available for guests arriving before check-in (register after 9am) or after checkout, allowing use of the amenities. Coin-operated washers and dryers run 24/7, with detergent and supplies for sale at the front desk 9am-7pm. The hotel has a lift, key-card access, CCTV, and safety deposit boxes.

The front desk is staffed until 6pm; after-hours check-in uses a self-service process with instructions sent ahead. No pets are allowed except service animals.
