Good balance of value here….price/accommodations/location.
Room is small, but perfect for one person…good for a couple who will be out and about most the day. Mariel and co were accessible and there is a groundskeeper on the premises for any immediate concerns.
WiFi works well.
We did a big, one-time, grocery haul for our stay (there is a Publix Supermarket 1/2 mile away) and made good use of the kitchen. There is a full size fridge and an electric hot plate that works the same as an electric stove (two burners).
One downside, as others have noted, is that the walls are very thin. We were in Unit 6 and could hear our neighbors in the next room pretty well when they were talking, playing music, watching tv, etc. Everyone seems to be considerate of this fact and no one was super loud, but i imagine that the wrong neighbor could easily ruin your night’s rest.
The pool on the grounds seems nice enough…we didn’t use it but sat out a few days.
The beach is about 3 miles from here and pretty much a straight shot, east, down Sheridan…a car is recommended if you plan to hit the beach frequently. Bikes could work as well. Hollywood Beach is nice and lined with small restaurants along the paved walkway…plenty of bikers, joggers skaters etc. There is public, metered, garage parking and limited metered street parking. If you like a quieter beach experience, especially during the week, Dania beach to the north has a more local, neighborhood-y vibe (lots of people seem to come here with their dogs on weekends)…plenty of metered parking here as well.
There are also a couple of nice parks in the area West Lake Park and Anne Kolb. I meandered all through every path I could find on foot while jogging and they weren’t super extensive—but I didn’t consult a map.
All in all, a good stay, positive experience and I would definitely consider it for a return trip!
