I have stayed at the Ft. Lauderdale North FS a few times and have been both on the CL level and in a non-CL room with the balcony: as a plat; long before the past few weeks.
Although.... I actually prefer the CY at N Federal Hwy and Commercial Blvd, which is very close by and usually cheaper. No CL and it's more renovated sixties hotel than typical CY. Most people find it a little downtrodden, but I've always had a good stay there. If I'm with others, its the FS. If I'm on my own, it's the CY.
