• Staff was friendly and helpful but overworked.
• Air conditioning/heating unit was moldy and room smelled bad.

“This hotel was okay for the price. The staff was extremely helpful but very understaffed. Pool was clean but room air conditioning/heating unit was visibly moldy and smelled. Free shuttle bus was very convenient. Snack counter was basically empty except in the morning when they probably had time to stock it.”

• It had everything we needed and bonus things we didn't know we needed!
• toilet was stopped up and maintenence dragged a dripping plunger across the carpet when he left- YUCK!!!!!

“Entry and parking were close and check in was fast and pleasant. The lobby had been redone in the manner of a boutique hotel with lounging, eating and check-in all combined to give the traveler a welcome home feeling. There was a 24 hour snack station at the check out and a breakfast room nearby. Also in the lobby was an internet/business room with WiFi and computers to use. The room was spacious, with a kitchenette, dining/office table and a separate sofa bed sectional. The decor was contemporary, comfortable and clean.”

• Good breakfast included in room rate.
• Not very clean. Fire alarm rang off and on for 45 mins at 5 a.m.

“We stayed here a year ago and found that it seems to be deteriorating. Our room was not very clean, paint was peeling from the walls in the bathroom, the ceiling had black spots that looked moldy and they had taped a bag over the smoke detector. Apparently they are having on going issues with the fire alarm system because as stated before they had bags covering them and the fire alarm kept starting and stopping in the middle of the night. Not a great stay.”

• Beautiful Hotel.
• Security Issue, pool door card access reader broken, door propped open with a towel up to 24 hours a day, anyone could enter the hotel un-noticed.

“Beautiful Hotel rooms, Furnished Nicely. To get to my room I had to pass the hotel kitchen and mountains of dirty dishes, on carts pushed to one side of the hallway. Notice, this Hotel is very difficult to find, it is off 17th Street back behind several buildings, there is no Street sign indicating '10th'.”

• Great price, convenient to cruise port, very comfortable room, great selection for breakfast.
• Hotel is in a commercial and industrial type area, close to airport & cruise port but not a walk able area.

“We were very pleased with this hotel for a one night precruise stay. Arrived at the FLL airport Friday night about 7:30 pm, retrieved bags, called hotel from a bank of courtesy phones near the baggage claim area. Courtesy van was there in about 15 minutes. Note that the courtesy van pick up area is a short walk up the sidewalk once you come out of the terminal building. It was very hot and muggy that night and we walked the whole way outside from the Southwest Airlines gate, it would be more comfortable to walk through the airport building before going outside. Van driver was courteous and it was about a 5-10 minute drive to hotel. Our room was on the first floor and it was very quiet and comfortable. We found the complimentary breakfast items to be very good. On Saturday morning, a different driver took us and several other folks to the cruise port. He had also brought some other people back to the hotel from the cruise port and informed us that it was still too busy with departing cruise passengers. When he took us to the cruise port, we were very close to the front of the line for embarking passengers, so the driver was definitely familiar with the cruise terminal area. We would definitely choose this hotel again.”

• Good breakfast included. Newspaper, refrigerator and microwave in room.
• First room unacceptable because of loud persistent noise. Rooms badly needed refurbishment.

“At first I was greatly under whelmed by the quality of the accommodations. We asked to be given another room because of the loud persistent noise in the first one we were given. The second room was better as far as noise went. And the front desk staff were very amenable when we asked for a different room. Both rooms badly needed refurbishment. However, everything in the rooms worked, the cleaning was ok, mold on underside of soap dish and we appreciated the pretty good included breakfast, the in-room refrigerator and microwave and daily newspaper. So we ended up liking the place.”

• Shuttle to and from airport and convention center convenient and fast
• Breakfast was always out of many items, and was not replenished often.

“The price & location of this hotel works well for us. The shuttle service is a big plus as well as no parking fees when we are driving. However, we had to change rooms the second day because the bed was so bad, we couldn't sleep. The second room was better, but the hotel needs to replace many of the broken, lumpy mattresses. The front desk was helpful, but never felt the friendliness that we have seen on previous trips. No one working there ever smiled. Breakfast is adequate, but our first morning, was out of sausage, eggs, juice, waffles, yogurt, fruit, coffee, and bread for toast. Only the coffee was refilled in the 30 minutes we were there. Other days it was better but still not as it should have been.”

• they had a free shuttle, but it would only take you to the airport or port.

“The Amerisuites in Fort Lauderdale is a very nice hotel for only 2.5 stars. The lobby was clean and modern. The rooms were very nice, with a fridge, microwave, dining table, desk, tv, and chair with ottoman. They have a complimentary breakfast buffet and free shuttle service to/from the airport and the port.”

• clean large room with fridge and sitting area.... good decor best room of the trip
• noisy due to some ethnic crowd that appeared in numbers....... but what can you do? Could happen anywhere.

“classy mood, classy decor.Right next to port everglades and close to FT Lauderdale Beach.Largest most comfortable surprise of our trip, with space to relax and stay out of each others way.This is the place I could have stayed for a week if this was our destination.For sailing out of Port Everglades,Amerisuites is the Bomb! Close to interstate and a fancy Mall with a Neiman and a Saks(10 minutes N.E.) Drive just a quarter mile east and you are in a beautiful area of Ft. Lauderdale crossing the Intercoastal Waterway onto the beach area.Clean, expensive area,within 7 minutes of some awesome beach!This hotel is a nice surprise that merits more than one night.It also sits right behind an Outback Steakhouse. Four star experience for me!”

“Pros: compimentary breakfast buffet, friendly staff Cons: musty odors, poor air conditioning, dingy atmosphere, toothpaste residue on the faucetThis was my second visit to the Amerisuites in FLL. Originally, I thought it sufficient for a one night stay. After this past visit, I probably would be disappointed if I got this facility again as a 2*”

• Staff made every effort to accommodate our cruise, with their shuttle service.

“We stayed one night and then went on a cruise the next morning. They allowed us to leave our rental car in their parking lot and picked us up from the port everglades area at 10 pm even though we were not staying there that evening. They went over and beyond the call of duty (service). We would gladly recommend their hotel to anyone.”

• Nice complimentary buffet spread available for breakfast
• Everything was dark. The lighting was poor from lobby to room.

“For a one night pre-cruise stay, and for the price I got this facility was adequate and meet my needs.I would stay here again for an over-nighter, but would not plan a vacation here.Unfortunatley, I didn't get a chance to use the pool.Our room overlooked a storage facility, so scenery wasn't a plus. Add that to the "dark" decor, I would say the Fort Luaderdale Amerisuites deserves the 2* rating.”

• It was in the area we wanted to be in.
• It was extremely dumpy compared to equivalent star ratings

“Besides the fact that it took over a half hour to check in at midnight, due to one guest checking in for a large party ahead of us and a slow front desk clerk, this hotel needed some major TLC. The bathtub had an ugly hole repair job, the toilet seat needed to be replaced, the faucet sprayed sideways. The furniture placement was awkward. They had moved the desk into the kitchen area just to accomodate internet wiring, so that area was very cramped and it felt weird. The tv was barely visible from the sofa, so we had to move the sofa to face it. The fridge also sat in the middle of the tiny kitchenette area, because it was too tall to fit under the counter, so that was very awkward. The lighting was too low, the bed was too small, wobbly and short -- we expected a queen or two fulls.Western, the kind where they buy up old hotels and convert them, aged and dumpy. Eve”

“This hotel has all that one would need for a long stay. The rooms are suites, so there is plenty of space. I love having refrigerator in my room. If I would have known ahead of time, I would have brought my own VHS tape. My room had a VCR at my disposition. Overall I would recommend.”
