The hype
Great location and fun vibe, but the service is hit-or-miss and the rooms are showing their age.

Đặt phòng nếu You want a high-energy, see-and-be-seen beach weekend where the pool party matters more than a silent night's sleep.
Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- Prime beachfront location directly across from the Atlantic
- Steak 954 is a legitimate destination dining spot with a jellyfish tank
- Two distinct pool vibes: one for partying (East) and one for chilling (West)
Tóm tắt nhanh: A flashy, high-energy resort that relies heavily on its 'cool' factor to distract you from the wear and tear in the rooms.
Được đánh giá bởi @Amandanovak2: I stayed here for a quick work trip and honestly didn't want to leave. The room design is so sleek, and having a proper soaking tub after a long day of meetings was a total lifesaver. Definitely my go-to spot in Fort Lauderdale now.

Reality check
You will hear the bass from the pool or the hallway; this is not a sanctuary of silence.
- You thrive on DJ beats and day drinking by the pool
- You want to be steps from the beach and a short Uber to Las Olas
- You travel with a dog (very pet-friendly, albeit expensive)
Vệ sinh & Bảo dưỡng
6.5
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some guests report missed daily service or late arrivals (after 6pm).
- Bathroom hygiene: Major friction point. Reports of 'black mold' in grout and 'yellow tint' in bathwater appear in recent 2024/2025 reviews.
- Maintenance: Showing age. Peeling paint on balconies, broken AC units, and worn carpets are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Generally acceptable, though some reports of towels being 'scratchy' or stained.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like the signature W perfume (love it or hate it); some rooms have lingering smoke or musty smells.

FAQ & Những mẹo ẩn
Mọi thứ bạn thực sự muốn biết trước khi đặt phòng.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, both pools are heated, but the main East pool is the social hub while the West pool is often shaded and quieter.
Can I walk to restaurants?
Yes, you are right on the strip. Steak 954 and El Vez are in the building, and many others are a 5-10 minute walk.
Is breakfast included?
No, and it's pricey. Expect to pay $25+ for an entree and $5+ for coffee at the on-site spots.
How much is the pet fee?
Steep. Approximately $250 per stay (non-refundable), plus potential daily cleaning fees depending on the room type.
Is there a shuttle to the airport?
No. You'll need to Uber/Lyft (~20 mins) or rent a car.
Are the balconies private?
Not really. Partitions are low or see-through; you will likely see and hear your neighbors.
Mẹo Nội Tại
- ✨
The 'Wet West' pool in the residential tower is often empty and much more relaxing than the main deck.
- ✨
Walk to 'Archibalds Village Bakery' (about 10 mins) for coffee and pastries half the price of the hotel.
- ✨
Use the water taxi stop near the hotel to get to Las Olas Blvd without fighting traffic.
5 điều cần biết trước khi bạn đi
💡The bathroom glass wall is 'peek-a-boo' style — you can see the silhouette of the person showering from the bed.
💡Elevators can be painfully slow during peak checkout times (10-11am).
💡The 'oceanfront' view often includes a good chunk of the roof/pool deck unless you are on a very high floor.
💡You might spot iguanas chilling near the outdoor dining areas.
💡Room service adds a hefty delivery charge + service charge + tax; a $20 burger becomes $40 fast.
