OK, I checked the (not so great) reviews & the location before I even checked in.....it is RIGHT across the street from the beach, right next door to the Jungle Queen cruise, has a pool, gift shop & restaurant. The beach has a great playground/park area which we took advantage of to watch the sunrise & a ship come into... more

I stayed here on a business trip and parking was horrible to check in. There was a party going on and valet was full so they made it really hard for me to park. Once I checked in I walked into my room and it was very dirty and looked like it had not been cleaned. When I complained to... more

Crabs, not the kind from the beach, wonderful black splotch accents on the walls, otherwise known as "mold", creatures found in nature able to walk right into your room due to the huge gaps in the doors... Creepy employees walking into your room unannounced. Strong strange odors - possibly coming from the wetlands, aka the "carpet". The feeling that you... more

As to be expected if it was a $55 per night mote, unfortunately it was notl. It is what it is, very old, no updates, plenty of plaster patch work. Not recommended even if you over indulge at the world famous Bahia Cabana Bar as you will have to deal with reality in the morning. I did not feel safe,... more

The Bahia Cabana isn't the Ritz-Carlton, but for the price, there's not much to complain about. Sure, the rooms aren't the prettiest. Their "renovations" to the rooms over the years haven't been the most elegant, nor have they been respectful of the era in which the building was built, but they're cheap, ideally located across from the beach and overlooking... more

Nice quiet getaway weekend with my wife. Beautiful location on the canal. Great night life reasonable food and drink prices. Accomodation are only a 1 or 2 rating. In summary great place to party but stay somewhere else. Friendly staff and the valet's are great. Don't forget to eat at the Floridian on Las Olas great dinner and great prices. more

This is a great hotel for the money. The rooms were what I expected for the small amt we paid. The pool/patio/bar and restaurant area were great! It was alot of fun, sitting out on the patio having drinks with friends. After the bar closed we brought out our cooler and hung out for a while more. The staff was... more

First off, the good: the restaurant/bar is excellent. One of my absolute favorite places in Ft. Lauderdale. Outside, on the marina, the food is great, the drinks cold (and strong) and the wait staff some of the very best in the area. The good about the hotel: it's cheap. Cheap. Great if you're a college kid on spring break without... more

I stayed here with some friends and their family members a few years back. Look, the place is kind of a dump, but in a slightly charming way. Our room was a handicapped room, and was clean enough for us. We didn't spend time in our room other than to sleep really, so that is the type of place this... more
