We spent 2 days at this hotel based on my frequent stays at their sister properties in Europe.
As with all hotels there is the good and the bad:
The good:
* The hotel is very modern and clean
* The 1 bedroom apartment style is great with a fully equipped kitchen
* Great location near shopping, Ft Lauderdale and Miami Beach, FLL airport
The bad:
* The price. Our quoted rate was USD249 per night but after taxes, resort fees, valet parking the total bill was USD600! This was very misleading.
* Valet parking was mandatory. This is unacceptible.
* Ocean views = a view from the balcony looking onto a very large concrete condo project or a low income motel. Yes, one can see the ocean if you turn your head towards the beach
* Resort fees. This is NOT a resort hotel. A mandatory resort fee is thus inappropriate.
* Additional charges. My credit card bill has been subsequently charged with an unidentified charge. I will be following up on this.
