I would have given this hotel 5 stars but made it 4 stars for two reasons. First, I booked this hotel mainly based on price, it was within budget. Upon check-in, she told me about the $35 resort fee but I thought it was optional for those who want beach chairs and fast wifi. Upon check-out I see I was charged $35 for EACH day that I stayed. When I asked them about it, they said the $35 per day resort fee was mandatory for all rooms. Argh! I didn’t know this and I had avoided using beach chairs trying to save myself the resort fee that was mentioned at check-in. Secondly, I didn’t know the area so if I ever come back to Fort Lauderdale, I will get a hotel closer to Fort Lauderdale beach. Also, $26 parking per day, the hotel does not have free parking. But all in all, the hotel was clean and the suites were spacious, and it was right on Deerfield Beach which was nice.
