After reading the reviews at tripadvisor, I decided I stayed 1 night @ this hotel. Thank God it was only 1 night. The hotel is having a lot of traffic thanks to the reviews from this site. These reviews DO NOT reflect the quality of this hotel and they are WAY overrated. The hotel probably had a recent remodel but... More

Dear Sir/Madam So sorry that you didn't like the hotel you stayed in. We are positive that you are mistaken on the location. We just opened June 10, 2010. We didn't put paint on or make-up. The building was here for a few yrs, but the entire inside was distroyed and remodeled, walls and all......The Holiday Inn Express value all... More

We were lucky enough to stay at The Holiday Express that made you feel as though we were home. Each day you were greated by a staff that knew us and asked if they could do anything to make the stay any better. The staff always had smiles from Mrs Allen to the our housekeeper. The condition of the hotel... More

Super friendly staff and a great, clean and comfortable hotel. We stayed here for 2 nights pre-cruise and chose the Holiday Inn mostly for its price, sharing a room with 2 queen beds amongst the four of us. With a car, this hotel is only a 20 minute drive from the Port, and only a few minutes drive to restaurants... More

We stayed here for one night on our way to Mexico, and would definitely return. The location is great. Very close to route 95 and the airport. Also, not far from Lauderdale- by-the-Sea, which is a good spot for cocktails and dinner. The room was immaculate and very spacious, with a separate sitting area, beautiful bathroom, and very comfortable king... More

Stayed here as we weren't checking into our beach hotel until Monday! What a great hotel right off the highway if you are driving. All personnel were very friendly and helpful. Nice pool area. Great breakfast in the morning! Only 15 minutes down Commercial Blvd. to the beach with lots of restaurants. Would stay here again! More

Having spent my life in the travel business I have inspected and reviewed many hundreds of hotels. This is one of the best in the world. Many of the big, expensive, hotels have no character and the employees are made of stone. You could stay there for 6 weeks and the front desk staff still would not know you. I... More

We were looking for a hotel close to the Ft. lauderdale airport to catch a flight home in the morning. Trip Advisor had rated this one highly and we were not disappointed.
