The hotel itself was nice and well maintained, and the bar was a definite highlight. Julio at the bar was excellent, friendly, attentive, and truly made the experience better. The food was quite tasty.
Unfortunately, the surrounding area wasn’t what we expected and made us uncomfortable enough that we chose to check out after the first night. The hotel also felt a little pricey compared to other options that were on the beach and closer to downtown Fort Lauderdale. Overall, it wasn't a typical Hilton experience but it was good enough for the night.
Overall, a pleasant property with great bar service and good food, but the location, limited dining options, and value didn’t quite justify the cost. Three stars.
