Standard king and double rooms manage the basics, from full baths to free multi-channel Showtime movies.

Recreation

A grassy area planted with palm trees and other native foliage marks the spot for impromptu barbecues. Guests can pack a basket and fire up the grills to enjoy alfresco dining at picnic tables.

Comfortalbe & inexpensive airport stopover

Spent 2 nights here (a week apart) while making connections out of Fort Lauderdale. Everything was great, provided you realize that you're not staying in a 5 star hotel. The service was professional if not overly friendly, the room was clean and quiet (I stayed on the 3rd floor overlooking parking lot), the bed and pillows very comfortable, perfectly acceptable bath & shower. Three outstanding things: 1) a young receptionist named Lance, extremely professional and helpful; 2) the wonderfully friendly and hospitable namesake of the restaurant (LuLu's Diner). Lulu and her team of waitresses were absolutely delightful, and the food was everything you'd expect from a decent no thrills diner; 3) 'José', the van driver for the free shuttle to and from the airport -- nice, knowledgeable, polite and funny. How refreshing!

The roach coach

Please don't stay here. Somehow I ended up in a smoking room and I have never smoked in my life, the staff would do nothing to help me get another room . Second there is water all over the hall ways and as soon as you walk into your room you track in all the nasty dirt and grime that shows up on the white tile floor. Last and not least: the room was crawling with roaches when I woke up. They were darting all over the floor! I just hope I didn't bring any home in my luggage. Do not stay here!!!

Find another city.

What a dump. Had to drive around entire building to park in last spot in front. Simi trucks parked in the back. On opproacing the lobby, loud partying of 6 persons on left. In lobby line of 4 people waiting for check in from person behind plexiglass window. 2 people came in to get ice, left angry with no ice. Partying continued til whenever, make sure to leave air cond on to drown out noise. Oh yes, truck driver came in for a room ,with wife and kid outside. He said "no wonder so many people get shot around here". Not a comfortable feeling.

Good value.

Room was average, shower was older, floors were not clean. Airport shuttle and cruise port shuttle were a big plus. The diner at the hotel had good food at a decent price.
