  • Quiet.
  • Rating does not go according to quality.

“for a 4 star rating it does not meet high quality standards. I think it should be rated a 3 star hotel.”

  • Friendly staff and good lap pool.
  • Although it was an excellent stay, it was somewhat overpriced.

“The hotel is extremely convenient to the airport and cruise port. It's clean and comfortable and has a very good restaurant. Within walking distance there are several restaurants, a Walgreens right across the street and only a one block walk to the Water Taxi.”

  • The location.
  • Problem always every visit with linking to internet with customer service.

“Everything ok except the problem which has happened to me several times logging on internet which I was trying to conduct business which was quite frustrating to me. I had to call tech support too finally after one hour which irritated me to get signed on the internet.”

  • Very close to the airport.
  • You had to use your key for the parking garage, which didn't always work.

“We arrived checked in Sunday afternoon, Saturday around 12:00 the power in the hotel shut off and was off for 5 hours. This was planned, and no one ever told us anything about this we were stuck with no TV or computer. We were there to visit a sick relative, and we needed to just hang out for a bit, we could have found another place to stay if we knew this.”

  • They don't come back for cleaning.
  • Just for cleaning service.

“Just for cleaning service they come at early morning but they don't come back to cleaning your room. I went to restaurant and I was there for one hour but when I come back they don't return in all day to clean my room.”

  • Decor, staff helpfulness, close distance to Port Everglades and restaurants.
  • Elevators not enough to accommodate everyone on check-out with their luggage.

“One of the nicer hotels in the area, it is located in. Very clean, stores and eating areas within 5 minute walk, or less. Rooms were average, but very clean. Beds very comfortable. Fruit, water, tea,and coffee always offered in hotel lobby, staff very helpful. Hotel does have a restaurant which has a wonderful breakfast buffet offered. The only downside is that there are not enough elevators, which makes it almost impossible to catch an elevator at checkout time. I would definitely stay again and will recommend it to others. If you are staying overnight before or after a cruise, this is the place to go!”

  • Garage facilities did not appear to have security surveillance.

“Great location, comfortable room and no hassle check in and out. Liked the adjacent strip mall and easy access to nearby attractions and proximity to airport.”

  • The staff was friendly & helpful. My room was clean, and contained everything I needed. The bed was also very comfortable and had nice linens.
  • The alarm clock needs replacing. It worked, but the plastic facing was close to dropping off.

“Extremely clean, well maintained. Staff was friendly, and the food served during the seminars I attended was very good. I also appreciated a computer and printer in the lobby dedicated to printing boarding passes. Very convenient!”

  • I was very disappointed.
  • The hotel did not meet the expectations of a 4 star hotel.

“This hotel should not be rated a 4-star hotel. The room was "okay" at best. We were greeted by a cigarette smoke scent in the air and were charged $15 just to park the car. A hotel should not receive a 4 -star rating simply because it charges for parking.”

  • Convenient location.
  • Air conditioner hardly worked. Coffee maker was old and barely let the water thru. No newspaper delivery in front of room. No real coffee cups.

“Simply put: This is not worth 4 stars. At the most 3 stars! Internet connection had to be purchased separately and was very poor. In a 4 star hotel you expect the air conditioner to work full blast and not leave you with a feeling of being suffocated. Coffee maker was old and worked poorly and there were no real cups, just plastic.”

  • Very comfortable, upscale.
  • Expensive parking.

“Very pleasant, good local, safe, beautiful lobby and restaurant, room nicely appointed but needed dusting! pricy parking - additional $15 per day, but close free options.”

  • Downstairs computer to print boarding pass.
  • Not attractive, $15 a night to park in self park with a dirty elevator that smelled like urine.

“I would not stay here again it was not what I expected for this chain or the area.”

  • The staff was very attentive.
  • The hotel web site is misleading. It shows modern furnishings and our hotel, while nice, was far from that.

“This hotel provides good customer service which is a sticky issue with me. I'm much more interested in the service which I reward for than a bunch of show and fluff. Everyone on staff was more than helpful and showed a desire to go the extra if asked for anything. The hotel has a 3pm check in which we were somewhat put off by but the staff was very accommodating and we ended up in our room around 1:30. Until that time we were allowed to lounge around a well-maintained pool and hot tub and made to feel like we had been at the hotel for weeks. The rooms and facilities, while clean and very nice, are dated and lacking the edge I was expecting. I would stay there again if ever in the area but I can't say that I would offer a top 4-star rating to this hotel. Close but no trophy.”

  • The room was spacious.
  • Bathroom had mold, terrible check in, poorly trained staff.

“Also, when my fiance chose to self park the valet asked me what was wrong with our car and why we didn't let him park it for us. We saved $5 self parking and we didn't want someone in our car. It's that simple. I could discuss the mold in the bathroom, the repeated knocks on our door from housekeeping (while we had the do not disturb sign on). Not a 4 star hotel by any stretch of the imagination.”

  • Pleasant, open, relaxed, helpful employees.
  • More dining options in the hotel would have been good.

“Attractive and relaxed atmosphere. A good place for an overnight stay. It was some place I would definitely go again or tell my friends that it was a fine place to stay.”

  • Bottom of the barrel room near icemaker and elevator.

“Nice place 5 minute walk from Intercostal, typical overpriced restaurant which we did not try, some dining nearby, 10 minute walk to many other choices.”

  • Location.
  • Hot tub was cold. Pool area was not attended. Towels left and not cleaned up.

“When checking into the hotel, we were told there were no more king size beds left, we were offered an accessible room. When I asked what the difference was in the rooms I was told that there were handles in the bathtub. We agreed to take it. When we got into the room after unpacking without looking at the bathroom we found out that there was no counter space at all in the bathroom. We had no place to put our personal items. when I called to complained I was told by a supervisor that she was sorry and was told that she would find out who rented the room to us and would talk to the employee that rented the room to us, but never offered to give us something to put our things on. They wanted to move us to a room with 2 full beds. We didn't have the time to do this.”
