This hotel and one or two others like it are owned and operated by a family, or so it seems. The family part shows because everyone cares.
Physically this is an older style motel around a pool where the rooms are decorated with a cheery style, good bedding, quiet, and 1 block to beach, adjacent to the W and the Westin, so the location is primo. The kitchenettes are a plus, good TV and in-room coffee.
The pool area itself is a bit drab - it could use more furniture and maybe some colored umbrellas. I wasn't tempted to spend time by the pool. But the beach is so close...
I come to Ft. Lauderdale each year and I will return.
