Hotels near Las Olas Beach, Fort Lauderdale

The environment is good, but I flew to the hotel at 5 o'clock in the morning and had to wait until noon to check in. There are no restaurants nearby. I hope there will be more restaurants in the hotel.

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.

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.

The hotel is very clean, very close to the airport, and the service staff is very friendly. Normally, check-in should be after three o'clock in the afternoon. I arrived at the hotel in the morning and the room was ready at around twelve o'clock. like!

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.

This was absolutely the best Marriott that I've ever stayed at, by far. It was spotlessly clean and the staff could not be more helpful and professional everyone that I came in contact with!! The location was perfect as I was going to a show and it was right around the corner. My compliments to Assistant General Manager Debra Smith who was always available and went above and beyond to ensure 100% satisfaction. I noticed her with other guests, being just as hospitable. I also noticed her with staff members and she was very encouraging, kind, and motivating. She is the real deal, a true gem! The entire staff was outstanding I cannot wait to go back. Thank you!

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!!!!

Rented a bed for the first day of a week's stay. Justin's help was extraordinary. Made sure I had all the towels needed and any other extra amenities that could be offered. Really kind help. I will add that being a Hilton Diamond member does not offer you a lot of extras in this area. But I would recommend making this a treat during your stay.

I have been coming to the hotel for 23 years and have always enjoyed my stays. However, I don't think the new open foyer, bar and restaurant area works. I miss the intimacy of going to the bar and using the restaurant. People now just walk through those areas and out of the hotel, some with dogs and in large numbers, so there is no privacy left. The open area now resembles walking though an airport. The personal touch of hotel staff has also diminished and they now seem just to be doing their different jobs with very little customer engagement. This was always something that was a signature of the Sheraton Suites experience in Plantation. I would also recommend hiring professional bar staff who welcome customers and are keen to serve them, rather than make you feel as if you are inconveniencing them. On a cleanliness note, our room had a large dirty stain on the carpet which should either have been professionally cleaned or replaced before letting out to a customer. On the plus side, the external development has made some progress and a Mexican bar/restaurant named Tacocraft is a nice spot to visit in the afternoon or evening. It is situated only a few metres from the hotel. Although this provides some encouragement, progress on the development is slow and disappointingly our room overlooked a builder's wasteland.
