Just stayed the one night before a flight out the next morning. The hotel is generally looking out of date and in need of a complete refit. Some of the staff also have questionable attitudes. Let's start with the bad...

First room absolutely stank of strong citrus cleaner. Maybe somebody had been smoking and they were trying to cover that smell, but whatever the reason it was unbearable. Asked to move to another room and the girl at reception acted like we had set out to make her day as difficult as possible. Next room was fine.

Tried to order room service. The woman on the phone was simply unbelievable - just grunted in response to everything...barely spoke a word. Absolutely the worst customer service I've ever heard. Food arrived over an hour later and was - to our complete lack of surprise - wrong. The guy who brought the food was great - he apologized and ran off to replace the offending dish.

The water was yellow. It looked like urine. The bathtub didn't drain so by the end of my shower I was standing in a foot of water. The water finally decided to drain about 30 mins after I had finished.

The TV was a small, old, tube style set. Don't met me wrong, I don't watch much TV in hotels, but it certainly gives a bad impression when even budget places have widescreen, flat panel screens these days. Made the room look cheap.

There was one saving grace to this hotel - the food! Both the room service and breakfast buffet were absolutely top notch! I would go as far as to say the best hotel food I've ever had, in that price range.

To sum-up: Looking dated and staff need better customer service training. Not a terrible hotel by any means, but certainly needs taking up a level. Great food.

No major complaints, but surprised by the dirty carpets in the hallways, old creeking elevators, old and outdated decor. Our room was fairly decent. We checked in at 10 pm, and had to leave at 4 am the next morning for a flight. Dinner in the hotel restaurant was pretty decent, and we slept well.

Despite all the negative reviews I decided to book two nights here pre-cruise. We arrived in FLL at almost 12:30 am and called the hotel for the free shuttle. It took less than 10 minutes for it to arrive, and the hotel is very close by.

Check-in was fast and efficient, and although the hotel seemed quite busy that weekend because of all the people from the blues cruise we had a peaceful night's sleep.

The room was clean and beds were comfortable. The next day we decided to rent a car, so we had to pay $15 for parking, which I didn't mind too much since I got a great deal on the room from lastminutetravel.

After a day of exploring Ft Lauderdale we returned to the hotel hot and thirsty. I asked someone at the front desk where I could buy water and he was very friendly and even offered me two complimentary bottles!

The hotel is very close to the airport and port everglades and not too far from the beaches and downtown Ft Lauderdale. I know I've read that it may be torn down due to expansion of the runways at FLL, but while it's still here I would recommend this hotel if you can get it at a good price. Otherwise, the Fairfield Inn down the street is a great bargain on lmt and offers a lot more bang for your buck!

This was the worst hotel that we have ever stayed at. They said that there is a shuttle to pick you up at the airport, we arrived around 8:00 pm on a Saturday night, and called for the shuttle. The shuttle never came, we were forced to use a taxi which cost $20.00. When we arrived at the hotel they said they only had a smoking room left, since we were tried and had already paid we took it. When we got to the room the TV did not work, we called down to the desk and told them this. They sent a guy to look at it, he then replaced it with another busted TV that the color was going on it, the remote in the room did not work with this TV. So he brought another TV, the same old model as the first TV that was busted. This one lasted for about an hour and a half. The only thing that this hotel did to make up for the inconvince was give us $15.00 coupons for the breakfast buffet. However, the buffet was $16.99, and the food was terrible. We are not difficult to please but we will NEVER STAY AT ANOTHER HILTON AGAIN.
