Hidden gem. Wish I had known about this location before. Less than 4 miles from the FLL airport and the cruise port. Clean, safe, with all appliances working. Microwave and fridge to boot. Friendly staff. Highly recommend for a stay before or after a cruise or flight.

No it’s not your $200 a night place to stay but the people are GREAT, the rooms are decent and it’s the perfect place to stay for the night before you port for your cruise

We found this little gem on booking.com, and we were very happy with it. We booked two rooms and they were both freshly painted and smelled very nice. The outside of the inn had all new windows and doors with double locks. The furnishings were retro, but clean and comfortable. The owner and staff were extremely friendly! Due to delays in travel we were not able to get there until after 1:00 am, but they were up waiting on us. We were looking for a cheap hotel for a one night stay before heading out on a cruise. They treated us like we were staying at a five star hotel at a two star hotel price! We will definitely stay here again! They were literally less than 10 minutes from Port Everglades.

This is a very good motel at a good price at a very short and convenient distance from the airport and cruise Port Everglades. Ideal place to stay for a night before your cruise. We stayed here for a night before our cruise. The owner Rakesh was very accommodating and having a 24/7 front desk was great. There is not much to eat from around and so we used ubereats to order and that too went great.

I stayed here in February for 1 night the day before my cruise. I picked this place because it is conveniently located closely to the FLL Airport and Port Everglades. My flight arrived late and the staff communicated with me via emails asking about when I would be arriving. The room I stayed in was clean. Security wasn’t an issue. And the owner or one of the staff members could be reached at all hours of the night which was nice. Ordered DoorDash for dinner and slept peacefully through the night. Would recommend
