Of all the places I have stayed during my trips to Ft Lauderdale, this is the best in my opinion. All the rooms are non-smoking. My room was spotless, immaculately clean and from the second floor balcony view I could see up the street to the beach. The Birch Patio is located 2 blocks behind A1A, or the main street that runs along the Ft. Lauderdale beach. From the motel it is a 5 minute walk to the beach, which I liked so there is no need to drive & pay to park It is easily accessible to supermarkets & restaurants. The Birch Patio is affiliated with the Napoli BelMar which is next door, so they have 4 outdoor pools between them. The bed was good sized, possibly a king or queen. There was a full sized refridgerator as opposed to a "mini" fridge. The room had a toaster, microwave & coffee maker, and a small table with 2 chairs. Closet space was ample and the bathroom was bigger than any I have seen during my previous trips. And there is FREE email & Wi-Fi access. There are also on premises laundry facilities. Need drawer space? Plenty of it here. 2 regular sized bureaus and 2 smaller ones next to the bed. And of course, there was Angela. She runs the Birch Patio & she was very accommodating, helpful & pleasant. I do not know how I overlooked this place previously. I was very happy with my room & how I was treated.

I stayed in the Birch Patio for 11 nights in november 2010; from the start, preparing my trip at home, Angela was really helpful .
Upon my arrival, I really felt welcomed; the room was very nice, tiled floor so there is not this funny smell you get with carpeting; the bathroom was really clean, even if it is a little dated, but that is the charm of it; I felt like going in a family house, brought back memories of my childhood holidays.
There is a fridge and a microwave in the room, a table outside, near a soothing fountain;
and it's only 2 blocks from the beach!
there are 3 pools on the property, everything clean and well maintened.
in the evening you can have access to a computer ank keep in touch with your e-mails
I would come back and surely will come back.

It's a bit funny to read all reviews before starting your own. Sometimes I wonder what people expect and how they have back home. This isn't a 5 star Spa Resort! It's a well maintenanced group of Motels nice located 2 blocks from the ocean with a good price. Atmosphere, nice people, pool,barbecue and more makes this a good choice. I saw no stains at all and you should have made complains about that at the reception instead of whining here.
I promise Angela would have done everything to solve it.
"Sometimes people tend to get more lazy and whining on vacation even if they have 10 times worse back home in their own living."
So our 2 weeks stay at this nice motel delivered and fulfilled all my expectations. Can recommend it to everyone how can enjoy a good clean motel with a moderate pricing.

We have stayed here for 16 days and we liked it very much. It is a perfect base for activities.
The rooms are very clean and there's a good atmosphere.
Because of the price, location and clean rooms we recommend the hotel certainly.
