I choose this motel based upon the reviews. First of all I was under the impression that the beach was nearby. It was not unless one believes a 20 min walk which includes crossing a busy street close to the beach. Second, I did not like the policy of the motel requiring payment for the entire stay once you check in. However, that was not the most unpleasant experience during the stay at this motel. When I walked into the room, I was overcome by the musty faint cigarette smell which the staff tried to disguise with a candle. But the worst of the worst was the discovery of Bedbugs which I found on the mattress on the second night of my stay. I immediately told the manager who tried to deny that it was not bedbugs, however she relented and found me another room. Needless to say, I checked out first thing in the morning. There are many reasons not to stay at this motel.

You can feel the hospitality when you talk to anyone who works at Galt Villas. They were happy to accept our online discount coupon, even in February. The location was ideal. It was an easy walk to shops and dining places for all tastes and budgets (even with a Jazz club and dance floor), the beach, and Winn-Dixie grocery store. Just a few miles across the Intracoastal waterway are malls, shops, and more restaurants. There was ample parking. Our clean, no-smoking room had a comfy king-sized bed, fridge, freezer, microwave, coffee maker, ceiling fan, A/C, and phone. I liked the oceanic aqua wall paint.

This is not a lavish hotel, but it's clean and has everything you need. Although the bathtub was pink (it was clean and fully functional), the bedroom was small (but the storage and bathroom made up for it), and the TV was old-style, I still think Galt Villas is a wonderful place to stay because of the staff, price, cleanliness, and most of all the location.

Visited Ft. Lauderdale yet again this year and again we stayed at Galt Villas. My 6-year old was extatic, he loved the place as I always do whenever I come to south Florida. It becoming a habit. I could write 100 things here, but most important I think is that we enjoy this hotel, owners and employees, I always feel like they are my friends and its important to feel relaxed on vacation, thats what we take vacation for in the first place. No stress involved with staying at a big, corporate style hotel, where no one knows you, here everyone greets you by your name, and if there is anything you need, its being taken care of immediately. I always will be coming here and I recommend it to anyone else.
