There have been reviews on these properties in the past (use the search feature to find them), which you may find interesting. I've stayed at all three of these properties, including the Yankee Trader just last weekend. I would pick it over the others. It is just across the road (access via pedestrian bridge directly from the hotel) from a very nice beach, and there are several restaurants and shops within walking distance.

The hotel has been recently renovated, and I was upgraded to a very nice suite (no amenity however, which was pointed out to me at check-in by the csr). Had a weekend rate which included breakfast, which was very good.

The Clipper is just too complicated for my taste, as it is sprawled out over several buildings. Evidently the room quality varies greatly from room to room.

The Pompano Beach Fourpoints had just signed on to Starwood when I was there a couple of years ago. It's also located on a very nice beach, but is an older, smaller property.

Enjoy your stay!
