Great stay, even better location - Immediate access to the waterfront on one side of the hotel and Las Olas Boulevard on the other! Was upgraded to the Towers side of the property - very well-kept, attentive housekeeping staff, seamless check-in/check-out. Definitely recommend, especially as a pet-friendly option.

An overall great experience. Central location on Las Olas Blvd with loads of great restaurants close by. Room was lovely and we were given an upgrade on arrival which was great. Everything in room and lovely decor. Bars and restaurants on site were great. All the staff were great especially the man on our check in! Can’t remember his name but begins with a K (I think) tall guy. Super polite and friendly. Overall a great experience and if we ever come back, we’d stay there again!
