We just did a quick overnight stay, but it was a great location for our kids to enjoy some pool time right outside the room (all rooms face the pool courtyard), and right in the heart of Ft. Lauderdale beach area. We arrived during office hours, which made check-in easy. However, we did see one family arrive very late and had quite a hard time getting their room key and contacting the after-hours number. So my recommendation would be to arrive before 6pm or be very clear to set an arrive time appointment and instructions.
