I stay at a lot of Starwood Properties and do like the W hotel chain. The FTL property may have been the largest W Hotel I've stayed at to date and despite the average rating there were some things about the property I really did like. The location near the beach and close to the gay beach in FTL was... More

Great place with a fantastic ambiance! The spectacular room (1624) was comfortable! The one thing about this room being on the north side of tower one is you could hear the constant humming of the exhaust fans down on the lower level. We rarely kept the balcony door open because of this. Our friends had a room on the other... More

Thoae who choose a W know they want a W. the mod styings aren't for everyone. The pool and surrounding deck are great. Service is very good. It's not a place for families, but it's good for business travel. The services and food for our meetings were excellent. My pet peeve is when pricey hotels charge for internet access, when... More

After returning from a great cruise to Jamaica and Haiti, we decided to spend the night in Ft. Lauderdale at the "W" hotel which was situated on the beach. We entered the hotel on the ground level and found the place to be very dark and very cold looking. We had a corner room on the eighth floor overlooking the... More

Not sure what the negatives are about with other reviewers. This property is superb. It is like every other property in the area. Across A1A to the beach. The lobby is gorgeous. You can see the bottom of the swimming pool if you look up the staircase. The architecture is amazing!! From the minute we arrived the valet, bellhops, front... More

The pool is small, and can be VERY crowded. The dont seem to have enough chairs to handle the crowd sometimes. (THere is another, smaller pool...but the fun is at the main... More

Ft. lauderdale resorts are getting older, well this one is new and it shows. The rooms are super comfy and range from standard to extreme. the pool area is big enough to service everyone, the service in the pool area lacks a bit. When you do get a service worker they are very helpful. If you are going to stay... More

I've debated how to rate this hotel for a while. I want to give it a higher rating--really I do--but... Let's start with the good: Location. Right on the Fort Lauderdale strip--which means just across A1A from the Atlantic Ocean. The hotel is convenient walking distance to most Ft. Lauderdale strip attractions--shopping, restaurants and bars. The beach is right across... More
