Nice hotel, facility and staff. They charged me for valet fees every day that I stayed in the hotel, even though I never even used the valet. They also NEVER came to clean our rooms!!

I enjoyed our stay, there are plenty of places to eat around, grocery store within walking distance. In this occasion we chose to stay again in this hotel because were going to a volleyball game at FAU, which the stadium is walking distance from AC Hotel, works perfect! Only thing we don’t like is that is only ballet parking but at least they have the option to help parking your car for a fee ☺️ so that is fine.
