spent one night here in mid April before departing from FLL. Front desk was curteous and helpful. Property is about 15 mins drive to car rental return at airport. One bedroom suite was convenient enough for our family of 4. Kids were a little cramped on sofabed however we were on a quick stopover. Located close to large shopping complex... More

I wasn't thrilled with this place but it was clean and centrally located. We stayed in a 2BR, 2BA suite which in and of itself was fairly nice. The room had a non-working fireplace and small kitchen and plenty of room. The room itself was clean but there was an unpleasant smell in this hotel, almost like heavy air freshner.... More

The photo of this hotel shows a very sunny yellow building. And it is sunny and yellow -- on the outside. The inside is so dark. The hallways smell like dirty laundry. The carpets are filthy. If you walk around your room in white socks, they will be a dark grey on the bottom after a short time! The furniture... More

Great hotel. Rooms are big and clean with everything to make your stay comfortable. Stall was real friendly, always saying hi and checking to see if you need anything. They serve a hot breakfast that included eggs, sausage and even biscuits and gravy. With a group of 6 adults, the 2 room/2 bath room was prefect. We will all be... More

We went to this hotel due to a recommendation of a friend and due to the good reviews we saw in tripadvisor, we were very happy during our 14 night stay in a suite. We recommend this hotel because it gives to guests more than what they ask for, I particularly liked the fact, that several days before my trip,... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. We were thankful for the upgrade from a studio to a 1-bedroom, absolutely made our stay even better. Kids loved to play in and around the pool. Breakfast offers a nice variation, with healthy choices. I love the beds, just the right balance between soft and firm for me. Staff is very helpful and... More

The hotel is a standard Residence Inn. Larger room, breakfast and wifi included. However, this hotel grows on you the longer you stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the location. Plantation is about 20 minutes away from the Fort Lauderdale beach. Easy commute to downtown and beach. Ample shopping and restaurants to choose from. The staff is friendly and helpful. The pool...

Dark dreary hallways. Rooms ok stained furniture and carpet. Will not return despite inexpensive rate and free breakfast. Macaroni Grill within short walking distance. Many restaurants are close by although the main road is very busy and somewhat hard to navigate.

Very friendly staff. Many restaurants near by and malls. Near many golf clubs, and university since its a university dr. If you are planning to hit the beach will be a little bit far, but if you are looking into the plantation area this place it's clean, comfortable beds and nice amenities.
