• Location, free internet, business center.
• No safe in room, cold pool, housekeepers did not speak English.

“This was a beautiful hotel. The front desk staff, pool staff, restaurant staff, bar staff excellent. Housekeepers not friendly and did not speak English. It was very difficult to request an additional towel etc. we had to point while the various housekeepers held items up from cart. Room could use microwave, and room safe. The refrigerator in room did not stay cold, and could have used a small freezer section.”

• Across street from beach was nice.
• $25 per day to park your vehicle plus a gratuity every time you had valet service was absolutely ridiculous.

“You expect a little more from a Marriott and unfortunately this falls a little short. Rooms were nice, public areas were clean. $25. To park your day daily plus valet tips is ridiculous. Elevators were in and out of service. We had to take the stairs a few times, (no problem as we needed the exercise). Pool is not even worthy of being called a "Kid's pool", especially for a hotel across the street from a beach in a resort town. For the money, some fruit in the lobby, or a welcome drink would have been nice. A few burnt cookies were put out during the evening. I guess this would work for a weekend, or for a night before or after your cruise.”

• The view is spectacular.
• Mini fridge did not work.

“Hotel is good, cross the street and voila, the beach. No one at the hotel mentions you can park in adjacent lot for ten dollars.”

• Location.
• Service/View was not as described.

“This hotel described either ocean or Intercostals view from all rooms. Not true - our room had a view of the parking lot. Shopping district was much farther away than described. Had to call Housekeeping at 10 PM one night because room had not been serviced that day. Can be noisy on weekend with late night parties in rooms.”

• Location was perfect! Close to the beach, dining, and shopping.
• Mandatory valet parking (although alternatives are available).

“Got to the hotel, checked in within five minutes, no problems. Beautiful room with contemporary decor. Hotel staff was cleaning the public areas, and they were already spotless. Pool/bar staff was friendly and helpful. Very close to beach, dining, and shopping. Very convenient.”

• Staff attends to any problems quickly.
• Original room was not ready.

“My original room was not ready (towels and garbage all over, bed not made) but the staff very quickly changed my room and also provided a coupon for a free breakfast buffet as an apology. The view was perfect. I was there for a pre-cruise stay and could see my ship in port from my room. Walking distance to many small shops and restaurants.”

• Location was awesome. Beach was beautiful and so convenient for walking.
• Pool area was windy and needed wind screen. Pool needed to be heated.

“The pool was beautiful but very cold. No one used it for that reason. They were doing fire testing on the elevators and started at 10 AM. This felt disruptive to the close of our stay and we needed the elevator for our luggage which they handled very well when we mentioned that we were on the 12th floor and needed assistance or the use of the elevator. On site parking is almost $30 per day. Next door parking is $10.and not inconvenient at all.”

• Location to beach was great, as well as the restaurant space attached to hotel on beach side.
• The entrance was not driver friendly and front of hotel isn't very attractive.

“The room was wonderful and two LCD TVs! It was a great experience. The location was great, and more importantly, I would definitely consider using hotel again on next trip.”

• The contemporary beach dcor.
• The bars closed at 11 pm.

“This hotel should be rated higher than 2 and half stars. The decor, furnishings, restaurants, location, pool, etc. are first class1.”

• There are plenty of restaurants with outside seating nearby. Going past the pool puts you on A1A across from the ocean.
• $25 per night for valet parking. There is a public parking lot next door but you have to circle the block using busy, one-way streets to reach it.

“The hotel was easy to reach from the FLL airport. We were only there one night, pre-cruise but enjoyed our stay. The front desk staff was friendly and delicious cookies were offered. I didn't get a feel for the location until the next morning when I went up to the Mezzanine level checked out the pool and beyond. You enter the lobby from a back street but in front, beyond the pool, is Ocean Drive. We liked the free internet access. We wound up eating dinner at The Quarterdeck about a block away from the hotel and beach and it was fine. Bubba Gump's was right next to the hotel but I didn't find out until the next morning.”

“This hotel was great when we walked in it was great. A great view, nice stuff and overall very nice. The staff was very nice and everything was clean. We wished they would've had a hot tub though.”

• Very Clean, Great Area, right near beach.
• No parking - Valet too expensive.

“Hotel was nice, clean and in great area near beach and several restaurants. Staff was friendly. Unfortunately, there is no parking available for residents and you are forced to pay for valet at the hotel which is $26.00/night. I used the lot next door and paid about $16.00/ day.”

• The view of the intercostals and the bathroom.
• The $25 it costs to valet park at the hotel.

“The hotel is located on the beach, really directly across from the beach in lovely Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Marriott Courtyard has a nice pool and Tike bar. The breakfasts at $15 a piece are worth the money because they include a made to order omelet. The beds are comfortable and the rooms adequately large for two travelers. I would not like to share it with more than two people since the is only privacy for two. One of the problems I had was, even though I was an elite Marriott Rewards member, I was placed in a room that looked over the intercostals and not the beach. Since we came to see the ocean this upset us a lot. You will get neither. Other than that disappointing fact the place is clean, well situated, has a nice restaurant and a lovely pool bar. What I didn't like was the parking situation. Don't pay the Marriott $25 a night to park overnight. Park in the lot next store and pay $10 per night for hotel guests.”

“Very nice hotel across the street from the beach. Staff very friendly, even gave us a room on the top floor without asking. Valet staff helpful in securing a taxi to the cruise-port.”

• The room decor was relaxing and the view was amazing.
• The parking was expensive and room had no balcony.

“From location to service to amenities, this hotel is top rate. Having a car was inconvenient. And I really would have enjoyed a balcony for enjoying the wonderful views from the room. But over all would do it again in a heartbeat!”
