The balcony is larger than most. The view from the room and most of the balcony is to the west. However, the balcony wraps around the side enough to see the ocean. The room is mostly like a hotel room with a microwave and fridge, but some basic utensils and dishware provided. We liked the keureg coffee maker even though there was a coffee shop in the lobby. The property had a spa, Italian restaurant and nightclub available. The tiki bar area had plenty of seating and was open til 2am, but no noise for this room which is on the opposite side of the building. We were able to walk to other great dining up the street to Lauderdale by the Sea, and the opposite direction near the corner of Ocean Blvd and 32nd. We also took the water taxi from the dock there for a sunset cruise and to see all the mansions and yachts along the waterways downtown! We definitely hope to stay again!
