This boutique hotel is situated well for the airport, financial and business districts, convention center, Port Everglades and the beaches. There is a bus stop across the street that will take you straight to the beach and many other attractions are within walking distance. The rooms are comfortable and some have great views. The hotel restaurant is great for breakfast, lunch and dinner - I tried all 3! - and there's also a lounge and Starbucks coffee. The swimming pool, fitness center and whirlpool are located quite near to the street so it can be noisy but other than that it's a nice area. For business travellers, there's also a good business center. The staff are welcoming and friendly.
