Hotels near Charles Rutenberg Realty Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale

Considering we received an ”upgrade” and the employee being very nice is the only reason this is not a 1 star review. We arrived late, around 11pm on a Friday night. We retrieved our key from the lock box and we're greeted by an employee who saw us thru the window. He came outside and immediately knew who we were. He was very welcoming, said ”Happy Anniversary” and explained how to walk back to our room. We we got to our door, the code we were provided did not work. We walked back to the front of the building to ask for help. He met us around back and gave us a different code which did work. In the dark of night and us rushing to shower and change for our dinner outting, we did not notice the ”imperfections” of the room. We returned at about 1am and went straight to bed after showering (there were only 2 towels which causes us to dry off with wet towels). The a/c never brought the temperature of the room down cold enough for a good night's sleep. We are early birds so we woke up some time between 5am and 6am. Our plan was to enjoy the resort for the entire day before heading out. As we turned on all the lights and began getting ready to head out for coffee, we decided to look out of the window at the pool. This is where we discovered the stick that opens the blinds was broken - no biggy we did it with out hands. While enjoying the view of the sand floor covered pool, we notice blood splatter on the window blinds. This triggered us to open our eyes and look around the room. We discovered blood on the second window blinds, mold on the bathroom walls, holes in the walls, unknown stains on the futon, and many misc scuffs, scratches, and paint chips throughout the walls in the bedroom. We were generally disgusted by this and decided to just leave. We gathered out belongings and went to check out. There was no-one inside and the door was locked so we just left our key and departed. I had booked this reservation thru a travel service and reached out to them about the situation. They contacted the resort and received a response saying ”the room is up to standard”. Therefore confirming that blood on the windows, mold in the bathroom, and holes in the walls is a standard for this resort. If that in fact is a standard they are proud of, it should be advertised as an amenities on their resort profile to advise guests who may not consider sleeping next to the blood of previous guests as a ”standard” for a $200+ a night room.

I took my daughter on a mother daughter trip. We stayed only 1 night. The hotel staff went above and beyond. They were so incredibly helpful! They allowed us to check in early the day we arrived and even allowed a late checkout the following day! They were so helpful getting the free bike rental, even brought a toothbrush to my room when I realized I had forgotten mine. Amazing staff. This hotel was cute, very close to the beach and not to far to get to shops. We didn't have a carso we walked or rode bikes everywhere. It's an older hotel, the floors have not been updat, but the beds and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.

If you are looking to stay at one of the best places in Ft. Lauderdale- look no further. This Hilton lives up to its name between the cleanliness of the rooms, halls, pool, lobby and spa. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, always smiling. We were greeted and welcomed back every time we came and went wether it was by car or on foot. They did have some elevator issues during our time there, but were fixed rather promptly and did not put a damper on our stay. The location couldn’t have been better for us. Across the street is the beach and if you make a right down N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd and walk about 15-20 mins you will hit some of the best restaurants we’ve ever eaten at. Live music every night and more outdoor dining then I’ve ever seen, it just makes you feel so alive! We recommend Spazio, it’s a bit further down the ***** but we went back twice it was so good. There’s a CVS not too far from the hotel on that same ***** that has any essentials you may have forgotten or if you’d just like some snacks/alcohol. My husband and I got a couples massage in the Hilton’s Spa, it was fantastic! We ate breakfast at Ilios (inside the hotel on floor 6 by the pool) the food was to die for. They have outdoor, indoor and at the bar dining. A few side notes, parking is expensive ($20ish a day) and I believe it’s valet only. The resort fee includes two bottles of water a day, two free hours for their bikes, yoga in the morning and you get beach chairs and towels. Umbrellas are an extra charge of $25 which is very expensive to me unless you really would like to be on the beach for hours. We only found ourselves using the beach chair services so the resort fees were a bit of a waste of money to us, but for how immaculate this Hilton is, it didn’t bother me. Last thing, I wanted something with a balcony so I booked the Ocean view. I was very happy with that but it was only a partial view so if you’d like a full blown view I think you need to book an ocean front. Overall, extremely happy with everything and I promise you Hilton & Fort Lauderdale, we will come back and see you soon!

Outdated facilities, especially the cold and hot water pressure is very small, the amount of water is large, uncomfortable! Breakfast is good. The location is excellent. The room is quiet.

Brand new hotel. Room was not big but comfortable, good bed, black out curtains and shower with glass doors! Nice microwave and coffee maker. Downsizing: no in-room safe! Ants all over the room ( on ground floor). Choose higher rooms! Overall nice hotel.

We stayed here before our cruise and returned after our cruise. We changed our tickets from January to March because of Covid, which complicated things, but the staff were super helpful in being sure we were taken care of. Perry, in particular, was so helpful in getting things set up before-hand. On our return from the cruise, we arrived well before our 3 pm check-in and our plane left several hours after check-out the next day. Although they were very busy, they were generous in accommodating us during much of that time. Fritz was so friendly and helpful at the front desk through both of our stays. Jacqueline, too. After providing a later then usual checkout, he also welcomed us to stay in the lobby until it was time to go to the airport and kept our luggage as we went to eat a late lunch at the restaurant nearby. They have pick and drop at the airport, which is fantastic. The airport is close. It was only a 5 minute Uber trip to the cruise port. We had some trouble with the TV in our room and Jacqueline came up to help us out, even though they were busy. The breakfasts were hot and tasty. There was a delicious, reasonably priced German place with a nice atmosphere within easy walking distance--about 1/2 a block away. There were several other restaurants, including fast food across the busy street. My father is in a wheel chair and we had no trouble with him getting around the hotel and to the German restaurant. (The restaurants across the street were a longer walk with him because the street was too busy for the wheel chair, so we needed to walk down to the traffic light. Cutting across the street was super quick.) Our accommodations were fine. All in all a very pleasant experience with a friendly, helpful staff.

I had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel front office manager even upgraded my room because I felt like the other one had been smoked in. The staff in general is very friendly and professional. The valets were awesome and quick, quick quick. On top of the incredible service the oceanfront location and pool cannot be beaten. B Ocean was beautiful

I would like to recognize HASINA that works in the kitchen for breakfast. Very polite, respectful, personable and has such a sweet spirit. Always being sure we are comfortable and taken care of. GREAT ASSET TO THE COMPANY! A person like her made our visit great and we will definitely come back. Thank you HASINA!!!!

If you have a car good luck finding a spot, one level under the hotel has a few spots, out front has a few more, if the hotel is 25% occupancy your not finding a spot and will have to park on the street and walk. All rooms have ice buckets but no ice machines in the hotel, you will have to go down to the small bar in the lobby and they run out of ice quite often. The rooms are lithely renovated but you can tell up keep us not on par with chain hotels. Different color touch up paints and a leaking roof with water coming down. Hilton diamond and food get their food credit but it's nothing special at the hotel just grab and go items from a super market. Stay at the Hyatt place or Hyatt house, with food within walking distance, plenty of parking and newer nicer rooms.
