Guest rating: 4.1 / 5
Overview
This all-suite, 3-star Residence Inn sits directly on the Atlantic Ocean in Pompano Beach, offering a laid-back, extended-stay atmosphere. The property is oceanfront, giving many rooms direct ocean or city views, and is positioned close to the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse and the Pompano Beach Fisher Family Pier.
Rooms
Suites range from studios to two-bedroom units, each equipped with a full kitchen and separate living room, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and iPod docks. All suites have ocean or city views, and some units include private balconies, ideal for longer stays where guests want home-like space rather than a standard hotel room.
Dining
A complimentary hot breakfast is included daily, with guests noting the availability of gluten-free options among the offerings. There's also an informal waterfront restaurant on site serving items like wings, sushi, and chicken and waffles, along with a BBQ area and an on-site convenience store for quick essentials.
Amenities & Recreation
On-site recreation includes an outdoor pool, a hot tub, and a fitness center, making it easy to stay active or relax without leaving the property. Guests also have access to a washer and dryer in-suite, a practical touch for longer visits. Paid parking is available for those arriving by car.
Location
The hotel is within a couple miles of the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse and the Pompano Beach Fisher Family Pier, and is roughly 6 miles from Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park. Regional attractions such as Butterfly World, Quiet Waters Park, Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, the Boca Raton Museum of Art, and The Boca Raton are all within about a 6-10 mile radius, while Fort Lauderdale's Riverwalk, the Museum of Discovery and Science, Stranahan House, and the Jungle Queen Riverboat are roughly 9-10 miles south.
Best for
This hotel suits travelers wanting an extended stay in an oceanfront setting, thanks to full kitchens, washers/dryers, and multi-bedroom suite layouts that support longer visits or families needing more space. It's also a fit for beach- and nature-oriented travelers, given its proximity to the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse, Pompano Beach Fisher Family Pier, Butterfly World, and several regional parks and museums within a short drive.
Travel tips
Because the property does not have interior corridors, some guests have noted road and nearby construction noise, so light sleepers may want to request a room away from the street side. A car is useful for reaching area attractions like Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park (about 6 miles) and the Fort Lauderdale sights around Riverwalk and Las Olas (roughly 9-10 miles), since many nearby points of interest are spread across the greater Fort Lauderdale/Boca Raton area. Parking is available on site but carries a surcharge, so factor that into trip planning.
What guests say
Guests frequently praise the friendly and attentive staff, including specific mentions of helpful valet and restaurant service, along with the cleanliness and convenience of the location. The complimentary breakfast is a recurring highlight, with some noting gluten-free options, though one reviewer felt the breakfast seating was limited and the food selection repetitive. On-site dining choices like wings, sushi, and chicken and waffles were mentioned as options at the restaurant. Some negative feedback centered on noise from traffic and nearby construction due to the lack of interior corridors, inconsistent pool towel availability, a maintenance issue with a dishwasher, and at least one serious complaint about a roach sighting in a room.
