Fort Lauderdale Hotels

Great hotel, great service. Our door balcony messed up on us and they moved us into a nicer room with a view to accommodate the inconvenience. Staff was nice and took great care of us. I would definitely go back again

Intercoastal view with a big tree blocking from seing anything

The rooms were clean

When I arrived we were informed that the water main has been shut down and the water is not for drinking or showering. The hotel said we can get a reservation down the road(horrible location) and will cancel our reservation if we would like. The couldn't even guarantee the same rate at the other hotel. Usually when a huge inconvenience like this happens, things are comped and rooms upgraded, this was not the case and was told we could basically stay at the hotel where we made a reservation over a month in advance, or we could leave. I chose to stay because I didn't want to gamble with another hotel that I had done no research on. My experience with Bahia mar was terrible as far as customer service and guest relations

We were walking distance from the beach literally across the street. Also on a very popular strip close to many bars, restaurants and novelty shopping. And pretty much less than a 15 minute drive from anywhere we wanted to go.

"Liquor Store" across the street was deceiving as it had very little liquor BUT did have Fatt Tuesday Slushies. Oh also they charge $25 a day for self parking & $30 a day valet ON TOP OF a $50 per day hold (that is returned 1-5 days after you check out). Besides that

Liked the buffet breakfast!

Didn't like the hard beds.

Staff were extremely efficient & pleasant. Location was ideal for my business needs

The location was great and the rooms were very nice! The wedding we attended was beautiful.

I had left a watch by the pool and checked with the front desk to see if anyone had turned it in. They simply said no and sent me on my way. However, when I checked at the pool restaurant, she asked me if the front desk had checked with lost and found. The front desk didn't even bring up lost and found as an option. Luckily, security had received the watch and we were able to get it back.

Beach front and accessible to anything, nice ocean view from the room, clean hotel and it has everything we need.

Front desk is horrible specially the person who checked us in. She told me that I will get a text or a phone call when the room is ready but unfortunately no one calls me back not text. I have to call and find out myself to see if our room was ready. Other than that everything was perfect.

I'm surprised there wasn't a pay-toilet! Extra for everything.

Located on beach near Birch Park. Kayaks, paddle boards, lounge chairs, umbrellas, towels, etc available on beach for guests. Valets, check in folks, & staff in general excellent. Rooms nice with good layout and generally quiet. Maid service okay- did not clean our room one day, even tho gone during mid day for about 3.5 hours- not really a biggie as rooms well supplied except for coffee. Saw young, middle aged, older, and family's with small children- EVERYBODY looked like having a good time.

Two things- one morning fire alarm system tested for about an hour. Very loud speaker- wonder why cannot check b/t check in/checkout vs mid morning. Maybe fire dept controls and hotel does not have a choice. Other thing is somewhat trivial- hotel has very limited TV channels; missed The Walking Dead:( But wife could watch Oscars on other TV. Having 2 TVs a plus, even tho channel access limited.

Just one cleaning lady was nice.

Construction guys everywhere, noise, dust,smell.all restaurants in hotel closed! Second pool closed!SKYWALK-CLOSED! each time you go across the road with kids.Terrible experience this year.will never stop there again and will never recommend it to my friends!

pool and right on the beach

under construction. but can't help that

Clean friendly staff. Drinks great!

That I had to leave.

We stayed 3 days it was nice my kids enjoy it alot, you have the pool and the beach right there,it was awsome, the location was great you have a big Boulevard of restaurants, cafe,a small mall...all in front of the beach...

I did not like that you have to rent the chair and umbrella,of the beach that should be included,

Great location, chairs and beach towel service excellent.

I was able to book at a discounted rate through a booking site. The location of the hotel is perfect, right across the street from the beach. They rent out towels and chairs at no additional cost which is a HUGE plus. The staff was friendly and helpful. I was able to upgrade to a suite which had a private balcony. Perfect for me and my guest as this was to spend a weekend away on the beach with her.

The water in the shower would get hotter every time someone flushed a toilet. Was constantly having to step away from the water because I would getting burned. The shower head had no pressure and the paint on the ceiling in the shower was peeling off.

Judy was fantastic.

Cost of drinks.

We were greeted as we got out of the car and as soon as you walk into the hotel there was fresh fruit infused water and Olympic cookies. Room was clean and big enough for our group. The pool staff was SUPERB! Our waiter, Emanuel, always made sure we were taken care of and Judy made sure we always had the best seats by the pool. The gym was well equipped and even offered cold towels and fruit. Plus there was a great view of the ocean. My group will stay here every time we are in the area!

$30 a day resort fee.

My boyfriend and I flew in from out of town and stayed here this past week for 3 days. Everything was amazing; the front desk was very professional and polite. Room service was great and accommodating. I loved the spa pool and pool side bar. The view of the marina from our room was breath taking. We will definitely be staying here again when we fly in for Christmas.

The pool area was very nice and great location on the water close to the beach

I reserved a room with a king size bed. When I arrived I was told there was none available and was given a room with two queen size beds. They seemed smaller than queen and were definitely cheap mattresses. Very uncomfortable. Also the wallpaper was peeling off the walls and there was mold on the walls. Definitely not a 4 star!

Very pleasant, friendly, courteous, helpful, professional staff willing to go out of their way to be of service. Our room was very nice and the bed was very comfortable. We had a nice view from our balcony of the inter-coastal waterway and all of the boats and yachts passing by. Our stay was very pleasant from start to finish.

Sliding door to balcony made a grinding noise when it was opened and we could hear the door above and below opening from time to time during the evening. The doors just need a little maintenance. For some reason the cleaning staff was short wash cloths a couple of days and we had to call to get them delivered to our room.

We came here after leaving our first hotel. Great location, clean, comfortable and great view of the channel.

Valet could be a little less.

Beautiful location. Staff were friendly and always willing to go out of there way. Clean and comfortable rooms. Loved pool restaurant. Access to the beach was perfect.

You can see hotel is showing some age. Hard to listen to people talk about how they paid half your price to be there. Should be more consistent with price.

Immediately pulling up you know this is going to be a beautiful place to stay! Staff was very nice and knowledgeable. Rooms were great and best of all we were right on the beach! Having Starbucks in the hotel was awesome! I would definitely go back!

Liked the suite upgrade. Close to restaurants. Nice valet service.

Room was not stocked with towels or cleaned very well. Check-in was at 4pm but our reservation stated at 3pm. No in-room safe.

Should have been told there was a charge to park. And we paid $25/day when we could have paid $15 for just parking and letting it sit.

Pool was nice

If you weren't being woken by trains beeping the horns then it was the bed sounding like it was going to snap and if you manage to sleep through both of those then the air con sounded like a 747 taking off

The outdoors is great and the rooms well placed .

The bathrooms would need a makeover. There are few faciities around if you are on foot

Bathrooms were good and room standards were very acceptable

Restaurant seemed a bit Galban hearted and lacked sole - being picky but bar AC was way too cold

Location; felt safe as a lone traveler. Friendly staff. Excellent housekeeping staff.

No in room coffee maker.

Loved that it is right on Las Olas Blvd and that right around the corner is the river walk.

Staff were very nice I just felt they just didn't go out of their way. I really didn't like having to pay for parking.

Location.

I would go back to the Riverside. But, I would only stay on the EAST side of the building and inspect the room carefully before accepting. Our room was in need of paint and repair. A charge for everything including parking. I still never figured out why there was no access to the mini bar in the room. In a hotel like this, I was expecting MORE.

The room was clean

It was far from everything, staff came off a bit rude

The only reason I gave it a two star is because of the transportation they provided to and from the airport and to the port.

Most of the staff is very unfriendly. I was late for the free breakfast so I had to pay, that's not the problem. The problem was the female waitress was rude very unfriendly and unwilling to want to take our order. Once we got ready to pay our total was $14.65 off by a few cents. We gave her a 20, but only came back with $4.00. I complained she went back into the kitchen and brought me another $1.25. Still short..it's disappointing to think that management is proud of running this kind of establishment. Ramada left a very bad taste in my mouth.

No beach access

Not enough parking.

Beachfront, pools and very close to shopping, restaurants and activities

Can be expensive

The property was gorgeous, classically elegant Florida. Low key and no overcrowding! The beach was beautifully maintained and the beAch staff - especially Lane were so nice and attentive!

Restaurant service was spotty - the food was very good but even with low volume the service was not very attentive. We frequently waited a long time for service, had to ask for silverware, more water, etc.

Very old and felt dirty. Shower hadn't been cleaned and walls seemed to have no insulation. We could hear everyone around us.

I liked the staff and the location Free hotel shuttle to and from the hotel and cruise port which was on time

It needs to extent it's waiting area and separate the breakfast from that area too It gets really crowed and this seems real ackward in that area

The crew was very helpful

There are strong odors there. Be prepared. Not a new place no open windows in the rooms...

That they had a shuttle to pick up and drop off to and from the airport

The room had roaches.. The towels were clean but not plush.. The roach situation was just disgusting. The offer free breakfast but there is not a variety offered.. There was little fruit and sometimes no protein, for example no eggs

Nice location, nice looking from the exterior, and nice lobby. That's it.

Rooms were run down. Soap dispenser leaking/dripping soap to the floor, creating a puddle. Pillow dirty, and had a public hair. Wood floor was cracked and chipping for away. Shower window had soap scum everywhere. Tub was old and rusty. Room had a smell. Air condition works and was cold, but adjuster knob broken. And the hallways to the rooms were very run down too. Basically, the guest rooms didn't match it's location and lobby.

The only good thing was the price.

Arrived to a dirty room, had to pick out a different one- regardless all the rooms were dirty and had problems either with beds, A/C or moldy floors. No soap in the bathroom at all, asked the staff, the cleaning lady never showed up with the soap, i'm guessing they don't provide soap. Heard a rooster on someone's balcony from 4 am till 7 am. Neighbors were very noisy, didn't get any sleep. The smell of weed everywhere. Outside of the hotel looks old, poorly maintained and trash everywhere.

Rooms not ready for check in at 5:00PM. Fire alarm goes off early in the AM. False alarm. Rude wait staff (in the bar)

Location, shuttle option.

Value, overhearing desk staff complaining about a staffing issue, hot room, no breakfast provided, despite being a Marriott member and owner.

The room was very well decorated and cozy and the price we got was very good using the website, although they would not price match at the front desk.

The reception staff was VERY unfriendly and unhelpful and lacked hospitality. The outside aspect of the place in general. All the air-con units were leaking into the hallway/balconies, creating puddles that you could not avoid before getting to your room. The people using the hotel and facilities...very dodgy!! We felt a little afraid as there were even people sleeping in their cars outside on the car park.

It was clean and comfortable

no complaints it was just nice

Trashy and smelt horrible

Nothing

I see the housekeeper cleaning other rooms but not mine. I ask the supervisor and she said that they need to clean the empty rooms first and then occupied rooms last. They have a bad policy. They want to clean the empty room to bring in more guests but they do not take care of the guests who are already in the hotel.

Under Construction, if a property is under construction it should be noted when booking. All of the hotel services were under par because of it

Balcony. Was able to check in at 9 am

Ordered 95 dollar room service. Filet and wings. Filet extra burnt. Wings dry and trash. Complained. Got no credit. Needed fridge to store insulin called and received 4 hours later. Asked for towels at night waited 2 hours to shower. Worst

Location. Pool. WiFi. Kitchen.

Dirty. Needs updating all over.

Closer to the beach

The air conditioner was blowing out very good , the floors was sweet good enough , no tub plug , ran out of towels during my stay

Value Helpful, friendly staff Good breakfasts

No frig in room

Very good breakfast set up. Very good coffee, available all day. also fruit basket with fresh fruit.

The free breakfast was good.

Would be nice if there were an airport shuttle.

The proximity to a catholic church and the shuttle to the cruise liner

Not having a shuttle from the airport to the hotel

first time I stayed I was impressed. for a hostel it was clean and quiet. was not full then so only another woman and I shared the 6 bed room. next time it was crowded and I noticed the bathroom being used was an issue. but also the caliber of guests was not enjoyable. especially one who acted crazy and seemed to need her own room instead of yelling at me. I was really upset by her and maybe should have complained. also it was late at night and I was tired. quiet hours were ignored. lights were on in the room very late. under normal circumstances it could be nice but I felt abused.
