Motels in North Fort Lauderdale

"This is my 3rd time staying at this hotel. The first 2 were in 2016 and 17. At that time this hotel was great. Not the greatest, but very good. Now in 2025 I was surprised about the state of this hotel. I doubt anything was done on maintenance in the last 7 years. Looking at previous reviews what I did not do before rebooking, I have the feeling the section 8 comments are correct. When paying 200 USD per night you might expect a little more then coke dealers at the pool area, algea infested pool, marijuana scents through the entire hotel. People smoking weed at the hotel room doors. Overall the hotel is completely run down. The room was spacious, that was the only good thing. In the entire room/suite 2 electrical sockets worked. A/C was extremely noisy and in bad shape. Everything was rusty, moldy and stained. No working lights in the bed area, and again, no working electrical sockets. I can barely believe the owner has let this nice hotel get run down this bad."
