This appears to be an older building that has had the rooms updated. The rooms looked nice. They let us check in about 4 hours early for a small fee. There is no elevator to the upper floor. We did not have any hot water in the shower. There was an old bar of soap in the shower and trash in the bathroom can.

The very best place to avoid in Ft. Lauderdale!
Perfect location to have a skid-row experience. My quarters couldn't have passed inspection by the building department. No hot water, faucet and shower handles not secured and did not turn on the water without a great deal of struggle amd manipulation. This place is a joke and I would encourage everyone to steer clear.

The 2-day stay was really good. The only problem was the refrigerator door was a bit broken and it was leaking upon arrival to the room. Thank you for the stay.

We got checked in 2 hours later than check-in time because the cleaning crew was late. They offered a late check-out for compensation that we didn’t need because we had a flight to catch in the morning. You will also have an additional fee to pay when you get there of about 25 USD.

The owner of this property does not care for their investment or guests. The room had clearly not been cleaned for some time. The place was NASTY and definitely NOT VALUE FOR MONEY!

Booked as a EconoLodge in June with Orbitz (Expedia). Was sold and changed to FT Laurderdale Garden Inn. Confirmed reservations with motel day before travel. The motel claimed I had no reservation. Spent two hours for Expedia to get them to give me a room (a lesser room than booked) at 3 am . Charged a service fee of $22.60 which is rediculous for this old motel. Room was clean. Expedia won't help. Will never use their apps again!!!
