“This hotel was a few blocks from the beach, easy walking distance to beach, stores, and food places. I did not visit the pool or other amenities, although they looked very nice clean and attractive. The room was extremely comfortable and would have been perfect for a longer stay.”

• Everything. The location was great! A water taxi came right up to the hotel and we toured the waterways, shopping and dining. Wonderful staff.
• There was nothing.

“The Gallery One is a beautiful hotel. The art hanging on the walls was interesting. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet daily was delicious. The location was perfect. A water taxi tour is a must. The shopping is excellent and the many art galleries Downtown Fort Lauderdale are very interesting. Valet service was reasonable at $17/day. They were quick, took care of the car, and were friendly. I would love to stay here again.”

“This is a beautiful, clean, luxury hotel for a great price. They took perfect care of us from the moment we walked in the door until the moment we left. The night we got there, my friend called the desk to ask for some extra Kleenex and the gentleman from the front desk actually delivered them to our door himself. The bedrooms and bathrooms were beautiful and incredibly clean. We also loved the balcony overlooking the pool.”

“I found the hotel to be a good value for the price I paid, especially because all rooms are suites with plenty of space. Also the rooms have kitchen facilities, refrigerators, microwaves, etc. The bathrooms are clean and feature luxury shower stalls with no bathtub, which is fine with me. The beds are also very comfortable.”

“My wife and stepdaughter took a little trip together and only had positive things to say about this hotel.

Shopping center next door-One can walk to the beach-Big room that was clean and the beds were comfortable-Full kitchen with a dishwasher-Large flat screen TV on the wall-Water taxi is convenient, although they did not use it Only negatives: - Parking fees, they did valet ($17) for convenience with a late arrival-Nothing was open in the area to grab a bite to eat at 11pm on a Sunday.”

• Location, rooms, service, free falling shower, plasma TV, full kitchen, nice soft beds no sink holes. The water taxi pick up 7am till 12 am.
• Had to pay to park.

“Its a good location. The mall one block away has all top of the line stores and good mall food. One thing that sets it apart is your right on canal and also you can see ocean even from pool view which they did upgrade for free. The warm cookie was inviting, rooms clean, bed real nice, and full kitchen. The water taxi picks right up at back door; for 12$ a day, you can ride to 11 different drop off while listening to the lives of the rich and famous but it was a fun filled day; we stopped and had a awesome day; left at 8 am; didnt come back till 9 pm; the water taxied follows the canal; it was a must do for me and very well done it was (sit on left side of water taxi a lot more they talk about there). The hotel staff was at our beck and call and very helpful. They even can get a yacht for you to rent for special occasions loved it.”

• It was a nice location and nice room.

“This hotel was VERY nice. However, when I asked about a room with 2 double beds, I got an attitude from the front desk clerk. I was in no way rude to her or complaining and I wasn't aware that I had gotten a king room because normally, a standard room has 2 double beds. She was a little snippy. The elevator was really slow too. Overall, it was a great hotel/room with a great location. Well worth the price, even if she was rude.”

“This hotel more than met with my expectorations. We were greeted after a very late arrival by a very friendly staff member who checked us in quickly and gave us nice warm cookies. The room was excellent and thoroughly clean. We had a great buffet breakfast with fresh squeezed orange juice though they do need more help as we stood for some time waiting for a hostess to get seated. Check-out was smooth and easy and the staff did call for a taxi so we could get around town.”

“The hotel is very nice, and the rooms are as well. The main drawback was the inability of the hotel to have the elevators running properly for the duration of our week long stay. It made it take much longer to reach the room or the lobby. In the end, they had to issue small credits to guests for the trouble.”

• Couch was stained, but who cares! Pool was small.

“I got an awesome deal. I would have paid double for the room I got, and I think they all look that way. Everyone was very courteous. Valet was fast as could be (we always called a couple minutes ahead of when we wanted to leave, and we never once waited for our car.) The elevators were slow, but I had a room directly across from the elevator (315) so I didn't care. I just opened my door and finished up in my room until the elevators came. The view was so nice on the porch, and I had the city view! Everything about the place is clean, nice, big, and wonderful.”

“Overall, I thought the hotel is gorgeous and the suite was far above my expectations. They need to replace the single pane windows, though, as it sounded like the cars, buses and people were on our balcony 5 floors up.”
