• Right across from the beach.
• Old! Felt like the carpet was from the 1950's.

“After being on a cruise ship for 10 days this was a big disappointment. I wish I would have spent the extra money for a nicer place to end my vacation.”

• The hotel is timeless, exceeding our expectations. Great location, friendly and helpful staff.
• I can't say one negative thing. It would be nice to have balconies, but out of control people have caused us all to pay.

“I was hoping for the Doubletree Suites, but quickly became grateful our family of three got the Trader. I cannot understand why I see negative reviews about this place. I did not have one unpleasant experience. We were given a complimentary upgrade due to me becoming disabled since the room was booked, and our room was clean and tasteful decorated. With the overall excellent upkeep of the property, I can't imagine that there are rooms warranting complaints. The 24 hour store was convenient, beds extremely comfortable, pool and beach very enjoyable and maid service great. We almost regretted having to leave for our cruise; we were enjoying ourselves so much. I would stay here again without a doubt. My husband and I stayed at the Harbor Beach Marriott in January with his company and I can honestly say I prefer the Trader. First, the attitude and helpfulness of the Trader's staff far surpasses that at the HB Marriott. At the Marriott, if you are not a Gold Rewards Member, the staff treats you like a second class citizen. The Trader was the opposite of that.”

• Location.
• Predominant cruise crowd on Sunday departure, they were pretty much clueless, not allowing employees to do their job (even though I was one of them).

“It was a little worn but clean. The front desk personnel were very accommodating and friendly. Within walking distance of restaurants, water taxi and across the street from the beach.”

• The rooms seemed rather tired.

“Nice location but the rooms were a little worn and they did not have flat screen TVs, which seems rather standard in most areas now.”

• The location was right in the middle of the strip on the beach. The hotel room was large and roomy. The facilities were very nice.
• Staff was a little bit difficult to understand, and out shuttle was late taking us to the airport when we checked out.

“We had a wonderful stay and would come back again.”

• View from back side of building from 14th floor amazing!
• Rooms worn. Power went out several times due to heavy use of blow dryers next door!

“Loved the quite pool at the back. Cushioned chairs were great. Pool very clean. Good towels. The rooms seem worn. Do not think the rooms meet what I want in a 3 star hotel. Our power went out several times due to heavy use of blow dryers next door (spring break girls!) Had a room on the 14th floor overlooking the intercoastal waterway. This view was so beautiful. Had a room with ocean view here last year and loved the intercoastal view much more!”

• The house keeping staff called everyday to check on us.
• Corridors had a stale smoke smell.

“Great location, parking was limited, the hotel public areas could do with a face lift.”

• The location is on the beach and very close to many outdoor restaurants.
• Loved everything.

“The hotel was right at the beach. It has a walkway over the highway to the beach. There was a lot of evening activity on the strip. Quite a few outdoor restaurants with entertainment.”

• Clean well maintained with helpful staff.
• Small, old TV with expensive offerings.

“Very well located, direct access to the beach but several blocks from the noisy, restaurant and nightclub zone. Staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Watch out, that bottle of water invitingly left in the room will cost you $4.”

• Did not tell you needed reservations at restaurant.

“This place was great. Friendly people, great location. Make sure you make a reservation at Shula's if you intend on eating there. We were not told and were unable to get a table.”

• Great staff, great bedding and great location.
• Could hear everything happening in hall.

“We decided to book this hotel because of its close proximity to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The concierge service was outstanding; they helped us with so much. Their hotel restaurant was great for breakfast daily. They have lovely bedding for which you can sleep the night away. Some people have complained about how far the south tower is, but truly it is just across the street via a walkway that is covered. Only people with walking problems could encounter a problem. Hotel arranged for a driver/van to transport the four of us to the ship.”

• No hot tub.

“Location is perfect. Directly across the street from the beach with a covered walkway over the traffic very accessible. The only disappointment was that I left a pair of sweatpants in the room that were never "found.”

“The location was perfect. From our room, we had a beautiful view of the intercostals and the lights of the Downtown area. The rooms were immaculate and beds very comfortable and clean. We would definitely stay here again.”

• Hotel charges a fee for internet service. It should be complimentary.

“This hotel is conveniently located near a water taxi stop. Back of hotel has a view of the intercostals and front of hotel has ocean view. Room was clean and bed comfortable.”

• The location to the beach and dining down the street.
• The pop cost $3.00 at the inside store and that is way overpriced.

“It was great for an overnight before our cruise since it was on the beach. I would have loved to have free shuttle offered, but I guess you can't have everything.”
