Hotel Details

Location

On Sunrise Boulevard, 2 km from the beach and walking distance to Galleria mall, supermarkets, and numerous restaurants.

The hotel fronts a busy main road, so rooms at the rear are quieter. Directly next door is IHOP, and within a 5-minute walk you'll find Canyon Southwest Cafe, Big Louie's Pizzeria, and other dining options. The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is about 10 minutes by car; the free shuttle provides transport with limited hours. Cruise ports are close and a paid shuttle is available. Public buses run nearby, and the beach is a 20-minute walk.

Accommodation

Basic motel-style rooms with flat-screen TV, refrigerator, microwave, and tea/coffee facilities; some rooms show age-related wear.

The property has undergone partial renovation, but many rooms remain dated with stained carpets, rust in bathrooms, and occasional mould. Beds are generally comfortable. Air conditioning works well, but heating can be problematic - rooms may require a portable heater (limited supply). Noise from the highway and thin walls is common; requesting a quiet rear-facing room is advisable. Housekeeping provides fresh towels daily, though floor cleanliness can be inconsistent. Luggage storage is available for early arrivals.

Dining

Free continental breakfast from 8am to 10am includes bread, bagels, cereal, hard-boiled eggs, coffee, juice, and pastries.

The breakfast room has limited seating, so guests often take food to their room or outdoor tables. The on-site bar and grill serves drinks and quick meals in the evening; staff are friendly. For those wanting a hot breakfast or a sit-down meal, the adjacent IHOP is a convenient alternative. Many other restaurants - from sushi to pizza - are within a short walk.
