“OH MY GOD!!! Are you serious?? Should be CONDEMNED!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2011

people found this review helpful

Where do I begin? For starters, I agree with other reviewers when they say the old man at the front desk was a real unfriendly a-hole. That night was a total nightmare! Me and my mother went there for a business matter, we got there about 7pm. I paid the bill FOR 10 DAYS ahead of time, (luckily I got back a refund on my credit card for 9 of the days 24 hrs. after we checked out, which was the next day). There was dried puke on the side of the mattress, it was torn wide open along the edges of the box spring. The carpet looked like the floor of a theater on a week when there's a children's picture showing, (in other words, full of crud!!) There were boogers and blood on the walls. There were burn marks from cigarettes on every horizontal surface. I went to turn on the air conditioner and the whole front of it fell to the floor. There were electrical wires coming out of the wall. There was no coffee maker, or microwave which was essential for the time we were going to stay. There were no curtains in the bathroom windows and there were apartment windows next door staring right down on us! The phone was so disgusting, I didn't even want to touch it to call and complain, I eventually walked to the front desk, the old man said there were no other rooms available. We were so sickened at the thought of staying there that we actually drug our suit cases to the bus stop, at that point I didn't even care about not getting a refund. We found out that it was late for the buses, so we ended up back there, unfortunately. By the next day I found us a much better place to stay and when I brought the key back to the front desk, I explained everything to the lady, and she said she would give me a refund, thankfully she did, and that was probably the best part of it all because it did say no refunds.

“Wouldn't recommend this hotel to my worst enemy!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2011

people found this review helpful

I just wanted to start with saying, I am not a picky person, and have pretty relaxed standards when it comes to hotels. I realize I am staying in a 2-star hotel and consider what is included in the price I am paying. But even considering all of this, this has to be the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, in my life!

We arrived here on the 31st of December around 5pm, when we arrived in our room the air conditioner wasn't working, the toilet was clogged and the sheets and towels were filthy!

I spoke with the manager and he told me that he was only the night manager and there was nothing that could be done until 9am. The next morning I found one of the housekeepers outside and asked her for new towels, which they had ran out of, and didn't end up getting any.

Later on that afternoon I spoke with another manager and she offered to move us to another room. We moved to another room just down the hall, it was a little larger, but same as the first one, the only difference was that in this room the bathtub is also clogged, just great!

I spoke with the manager again and she said nothing could be done and gave us a plunger to deal with it!

Now we have been here for 5 days and haven't had any type of room service, no new towels, the bed sheets haven't been changed, garbage hasn't been taken out, nothing at all! We had to go over to the store and purchase towels to avoid using the filth that we are provided with.

I will never recommend anyone to stay at this property, even my worst enemy. I would've be better off sleeping in my car! I personally believe that a refund of some sort should be issued to me, considering I am visiting Florida for a relaxing vacation and have only been disgusted with this property so far.

We are currently in this place helplessly because we have already paid for this pleace. Never book this place if your coming to FLL. You will ruin your whole trip because of this place. Staff are unfriendly, the fridge in the room is not working, no coffe maker as they stated in the ad. dirty... & dirty.. This is the dirtiest place we have ever stayed. So if youa re thinking because it is little bit cheep to get to this place.. don't...

“Worst Place I've ever stayed... including camping with no shower facilities!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2010

person found this review helpful

Classic case of getting what you paid for... but i think i've stayed in better places for equal to or less! We were on a tight budget, thought.. okay... we'll skimp a little on the hotel figuring we'd only be sleeping there basically anyway. We walked in to a room with the curtains falling off the rod, dirt and stains all over the chair, plug cut off of cord to light, other light had burnt out bulb, fridge was rusted and missing bars from the door, microwave was disgusting, hole in ceiling of bathroom... and that was only what we noticed at first. We were kind of stuck at first because we didn't know the area... we were hopeful that we could overlook most of it again because we weren't spending much time at the room. But then night came... our 22yo daughter was solicited outside our room, And as i read in another review, we too slept on top of the covers and with our clothes on!! Never have i felt that uncomfortable in a hotel!! The next morning we were told we had to change rooms because every time a shower was taken the front desk got wet. No offer for discount for inconvenience or anything. At this point we already knew we couldn't stay another night. We frantically called around trying to find something that wasn't too far above what we had already budgeted for and found a WONDERFUL person, Monique at the Comfort Inn in Deerfield Beach that was an absolute angel in helping us get out of this dive!!!!
If you are looking for illicit "action", dingy, disgusting accommodations then this is the place for you! But if you are traveling with children and/or looking for even adequate facilities... STAY FAR FAR AWAY!!!!!!
And as a side note... my credit card number was compromised... not accusing... just saying... Some people don't like it when you threaten to post things on youtube possibly?
