We arrived late to this hotel as we were going on the cruise the next day; the location is very convenient as it is within minutes from the cruise port and the Airport. The reception and the Staff were great. The nightmare started after we came back from our dinner and. Just look at the pictures. This is unacceptable in... More

We booked this hotel not really knowing the area, but we were very pleased. Part of the Marriott chain, it's a very nice hotel, perfect for our needs. We stayed here the night before our cruise. It's located 5-mins. from Port Everglades where all the cruise ships dock. Very convenient. Signed up for a shuttle to the pier ($6/pp), in... More

Stayed for two nights in late Jan for a conference at the rate of $219 + tax. It's fine - a standard Renaissance really. You know what you are getting. I'm a Marriott gold member so didn't pay for the wifi which worked fine. Rooms decent standard. Didn't really have time to use any of the hotel facilities. The hotel... More

Tried this hotel a few weeks ago.... Rooms are nice, clean and comfortable. Far from beach. A few blocks from inter coastal. Great business hotel, but you probably would want something else for 'vacation'. if you get a great deal, and dont care about being on the beach....run here. Very nice rooms. More

I have mix feelings about this Hotel. I stay here for business and this is not my first time here. The hotel is nice and very close to the Cruise Port and Downtown Fort Lauderdale. If you stay here for business like me, and don't have to pay one cent for it... bravo. I would not pay to come for... More

Beautiful rooms, great business facilities and helpful staff, but not enough bar staff or reception staff. We arrived in a group of 15 at 7pm on Sunday and the reception and bar/restaurant struggled. Otherwise could not fault it. More

And David and Menad really made the check in experience plesant and up to Marriott standards. The room was clean and... More

The location is the only drawback to this property - but you can walk to the beach if you don't mind a 10 or 15 minute stroll. Everybody from the valets to the front desk to the house keepers go out of their way to make you fell welcome. More

We had a one night stay before our cruise. They were very accommodating when we had a late arrival. The breakfast was also very tasty with plenty of variety for various tastes. They also had a shuttle (private) that took us directly over to our ship. it's one of our favorite places to stay before cruising. More
