In the center of everything you need on Las Olas. We stay here 2-3 times a year and love the convenience of walking everywhere. The hotel rooms in the tower have been updated and feel upscale. Nice!

I would stay there again
A lovely older hotel right in the heart of Las Olas. Lots of restaurants, bars and shops close by. Food in The Golden Lyon great and well priced. Breakfast in the hotel restaurant OK and a little pricey but not too bad. My room was in the older part of the hotel and smelled damp and musty. Bathroom was tiny. People I spoke to who were in The Tower said their room was very good. I've stayed overnight in Ft. Lauderdale many times when starting a cruise the next day and this is the first hotel I would go to again and maybe stay longer next time. Good value for the price charged.

Be aware they do not have room heaters for cold weather and no thermostat to be able to turn off the air conditioner. You will be very cold at night. I don’t know if it’s different in the tower not.

The only thing we desired was drinking water availability in the lobby (we used the drinking fountain in the gym to fill containers). Otherwise, our stay was lovely.

What a gem on Las Olas! I was a little hesitant to book a "micro" room, but for 2 people for one night, it was absolutely perfect. Not too small at all and had everything we required, including comfy bed and a bathroom. Great location, lots of food options nearby and super duper close to the port, making for a cheap Uber ride to our cruise. We'll definitely look for availability here first next time we're in FLL!

This is my favorite hotel. The only thing that bothered me was the sliding glass door was very dirty. The staff was wonderful. We only had 2 chairs on our balcony and we had guest from another room visiting. I ask for 2 extra folding chairs and they were able to accommodate us.We live in the area but love to escape to this hotel.
