The location is great, which is why we selected this property The front of the hotel is right on Las Olas the back is on the river. If you want a hotel close to the beach, this is not it. My husband and I like to walk, so the walk to the beach isn't bad, I think it's two or three miles. There are a few problems with the hotel room, mainly the bathroom. Apparently, there is a map that allows you to choose a room with a better bathroom. I didn't know this when I booked the room. The bathroom is smaller than any hotel we have ever stayed in. There is absolutely no counter space. The bathroom has a tiny pedestal sink and a glass shelf about three inches wide above the toilet. Our travel toiletry bag did not fit on it. The closet is excellent and the bed was comfortable. We had issues with a lack of room service two out of the four nights we stayed there.
