My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and served my needs, but they did not truly reflect the overall ambiance of the hotel. The service was courteous and prompt, although it was quite loud in the morning starting at 7 AM. The location was amazing, just steps away from the charming Las Olas shopping strip. The dining experience offered a variety of dishes, but some items could have been improved. Overall, the hotel's facilities were sufficient for my stay.

The hotel room had some issues like a musty smell and termites on the frame of the window in room 319, which wasn't ideal, but it was very clean. The room was extremely small and right near the elevator. The service was efficient, helpful, friendly, and professional, making us feel important and comfortable, but the staff at other restaurants nearby were rather surly. The hotel was perfectly located, right in the middle of every restaurant, bar, and shop, and just a very walkable 2 miles to the beach, providing a pleasant tropical paradise ambiance, though it had some red on the grout. The dining experience was great and affordable at the Wild Sea Oyster Bar and Grill, which reminded us a bit of New Orleans. The facilities were limited, not offering many amenities.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The rooms, despite being clean and renovated at a very reasonable rate, had a persistent musty smell that was off-putting. The service, though attentive at the Boathouse Bar, was marred by the loud morning noise starting at 7 AM. On the bright side, the location was excellent, providing a perfect place to relax by and being steps away from the charming Las Olas shopping strip. As for the dining, the onsite restaurant offered a wide variety of dishes, but some items could have been better. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although needing a refurb, were well-equipped and spotlessly clean. Being right above the terrace added convenience. However, the Wild Sea restaurant service stood out for its exceptional helpfulness and pleasant demeanor, offering numerous services like dry cleaning and valet parking. The location was ideal for a relaxing time, surrounded by a tropical paradise-like atmosphere. The dining experience was top-notch at the Wild Sea Oyster Bar and Grill, though some Spanish dishes weren't up to par.

I was thrilled with the hotel's central location, perfect for exploring dining and shopping options, with just a short walk to the beach. The service exceeded my expectations, though some delays were noticeable. The dining experience was delightful in a beautiful outdoor setting. However, the slight mildew smell in the room was a drawback.

The hotel had huge and very nice rooms, although a bit small as expected in an older property. The service was amazing, making us feel important and comfortable. The location was very good, providing access to restaurants, bars, and the water taxi. The dining included a variety of delicious dishes but lacked cold options for some items. The facilities need refurbishment, especially the carpets.
