Wolfson Campus Downtown

I found this place to stay when searching on Expedia. There were many different room options, however I just needed an affordable single queen bed for 2 people, for an extended weekend. I was impressively suprised when we arrived. We did not get there until well after office hours and we were sent a detailed text explaining how to get in to our room. Our room was exactly what was needed, including simple equipment/dishes for food with a microwave and spacious refrigerator. There was a safe, an iron/board, and hairdryer (which was good so we didn't have to pack one). The next morning when I checked into the office, Marvin was very welcoming and remembered small details that I had inquired about before we arrived. When we checked out, John was great. Neither of them made us feel like we were "just staying a couple nights", but rather as customers who they were used to having. We did not use the pool, but it was clearly well maintained and the deck was clean. There were windows open during the day of some of the vacant rooms, which looked really nice, more like a small apartment. I'm sure they would be great for an extended business stay or for a small family/ friends on vacation. The whole stay from beginning to end was definitely worth the reservation and visit. If I return to Ft Lauderdale, I will happily book with them again.

The pool was closed for renovations until October, and unfortunately we weren’t informed of this at the time of booking or during check‑in. We walked to the Boat House for dinner, but were told the kitchen was backed up due to a large private event. There was no offer to sit at the bar or at any of the open poolside tables while we waited. Later, while sitting on the couches at the front of the hotel near the donut shoppe, a staff member approached us and said "you can't just sit here" because his manager was watching. It was an uncomfortable interaction, especially since the seating area was open and unoccupied. My husband and I have always enjoyed our trips to Ft. Lauderdale and have made Riverside our preferred place to stay whenever possible. This visit, however, was very disappointing, and it has left us reconsidering whether we will stay here in the future.

room 412 was a good room. Ground floor with bedroom in the back. Near the pool and beach.
