As a long time resident of Pompano Beach. I’ve gone to the Tropicaire for 20 years for “staycations” and long holiday weekends. My husband and I wanted a weekend getaway, as life has been a little crazy since my father’s passing 2 months ago. Check in was quick and easy. We dropped out things off and walked to the food districts for drinks and dinner. Got back and got ready for bed...the bed was rock hard, After an hour of squeaky discomfort, I check the mattress...which was an old boxspring with a mattress cover posing as a mattress on a platform. You could feel the metal coils through the covering. We couldn’t call anyone bc there is no central phone line and the office closes at 6 PM. So we stayed, horribly uncomfortable on a boxspring and hot bc the ac unit was located in an area where the air couldn’t reach the common area. No sleep, all sweat and now a bad back, we tell the property manager (a very nice man, by the way) about our problem. He didn’t even seem surprised, but put us up in one of their apartments. The beds are (more) comfortable; the rest of the unit is not. Tiny, used loveseat with semi-clean cover in front of the tv, an IKEA chair and a table & chair set off to the side. Went to check the bathroom to find that the window, which is in the shower unit, is permanently open due to the crank mechanism being ripped from the wall. At that point, our romantic getaway was done. We ate the charge for the second night, packed up and went home. Will never be back.
