Location was great for a beach stay, 20/30 minute walk to the main area of Fort Lauderdale with the restaurants/bars. The photos show a balcony, there was no balcony which was a big bummer. Constant 1 second drip from the ceiling where the air conditioner is located which is also in the middle of the hall to the bathroom, kept a bucket there which was just in the way and also the noise of the drip while trying to sleep was annoying. $20 for a beach umbrella each day (optional). Chairs were free. Can tell the hotel is older and had renovations, not bad really but nothing special. Staff were very friendly always in a good mood, they held our luggage before checking in and after our checkout until we had to catch the plane. Personally I would stay somewhere else next time. If you’re just looking to stay at the beach this is a good spot.
