Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Our room had 3 major problems, a bad dishwasher, a bad garbage disposal, and a mattress with a huge dip in the middle. The staff offered to move us to another room, but it was late at night and we were all settled in, so they were nice enough to have maintenance promptly replace both appliances with brand new ones. It was our decision to stick it out for a few more nights on the mattress. I would have expected a more premium mattress to sleep on for an upgraded hotel like this. Always test out the mattress in the room you're assigned too before you unpack your things to avoid situations like this. A great night sleep is of the most utmost importance when travelling.

I checked in late and had to wait 10+ minutes for someone to come to the front desk. The room was basic and sufficient for one night. The outlet in the bathroom didn't work, so had to dry hair elsewhere.

Hotel is a good spot to explore south florida from. I had an issue with my first room, TV didnt work and fridge was musty. They moved me with zero fuss and my second room was good. Located at the end of a dead end and would be good for a work trip.
