Location, Location, Location... you can't beat this spot for the value and the neighborhood. The property itself is not "The Ritz", but it is functional, has a good amount of space, it is clean, and has a caring and attentive staff. In fact, we spent a few days at "The W" when first getting into town and were not as pleased with that property in spite of the fact that the cost for less than a week was more than the cost of a month's stay at NBV. Of course like with most places, the rooms can always use some updating and maintenance but this seems to be an ongoing and active effort at all of the hotel group's properties and the issues we encountered in our 3+ month stay were manageable and generally responded to in an acceptable manner. The "La Villa" tapas bar/restaurant is the bright spot of the property with a warm and welcoming team, good food and a great drink selection. The pools are comfortably sized and maintained and the gas grills around most are a nice addition. North Beach Village itself is a vibrant but lower key neighborhood that is a nice alternative to the hustle and bustle of A1A and the beachfront (which is nonetheless a 5-10 minute walk away) or Downtown Fort Lauderdale (a 10-15 minute Uber trip or 40 minute walk) and we found ourselves enjoying more time "close to home" as our extended visit went on. Off brand properties can be hit or miss but as long as you set your expectations for a perfectly acceptable (if not exceptional) stay where you get something more than what you paid for, you will definitely walk away well satisfied. And I can't stress enough that the real value is the fact that you are staying at one of the finest spots along the beach. The best measure of a successful stay is a willingness to return and we're already committed to be back next year for a similar extended visit and we're really looking forward to the trip and seeing "old friends".
