Great price!! Can't say anything bad in particular, but can't say anything overwhelmingly good either. The lobby is decorated beautifully but is missing warmth...... Both figuratively speaking and temperature wise. I went down to the restaurant my first night for dinner and could not bare it again. The whole first floor public space is FREEZING!! Room was nice, clean..... I... More

Our family of nine stayed here recently. We found the desk staff more than helpful, very friendly and went out of their way to assist us. The room was a good size, the beds were comfortable and the location was great; very close to the airport and the beaches were not far. We also walked to Panera and Publix. Parking... More

We stayed here the night before our cruise left Port Everglades, and it was a terrible experience. When we walked through the lobby, we thought that the Renaissance would be a nice stay. However, the front staff reception was as chilly as the lobby (it was cold!). When we went to unpack our car, a bellman came out to "assist"... More

We stayed at this hotel pre-cruise in September. The location was ideal with the entrance to port everglades mere steps away (or a $10 cab ride). The beach is just across the 17th street causeway and you can catch the sun trolley during the day for 50 cents each way to get there. There are also many shops and restaurants... More

Stayed at this hotel several times on business (which makes me in the minority of reviewers, as everyone seems to be using the hotel as a pre-cruise hotel). The rooms are standard: Small bathrooms with old bathtubs. Updated shower heads. Some of the rooms have the low-flow heads (which is like showering in a thick fog) and some do not.... More

Is a nice average hotel. Is an ideal location if you need a pre-cruise hotel however it is a bit out of the way if you want to go into the city for dinner, beach etc. You will need a cab to get into the city but it is only a 10 minute drive.

We always try to stay here pre and post cruise, however only when we can get a discounted rate from Priceline or Hotwire. The staff is very courteous and helpful. We have had breakfast only in the dining room which was not overpriced and good. We ALWAYS have dinner at Bravos just across the parking lot. BTW - this is... More

We stayed here prior to a cruise recently and I found this the perfect pre-cruise hotel. The hotel is located just across the street from port everglades. We had a 2 night stay and arrived late in the evening to find we had a nice room with 2 queen beds. The room was clean and the clerk that checked us... More

We were given a room next to the ice machine. When we requested a different room, we scored a higher floor with a view of our cruise ship coming into port! The bed was comfortable. The room smelled a little bit stale-carpet, perhaps? The staff at the front desk and in the restaurant are extremely helpful and friendly. We were... More

We stayed here last year and thought this was a fabulous facility, but their customer service took a big step up this year. Not only is this still a beautiful facility, well situated for cruisers and visitors to Ft Lauderdale beaches, but this year - as a returning guest - the hotel management sent me a "welcome back" email and...
