We had a day to spend in the Ft. Lauderdale area before a cruise, so we chose this hotel because we liked the Plantation area, which is clean and safe. We drove down to Hollywood "broadwalk" to spend the afternoon with my daughter. In the evening we walked to Romano's Macaroni and Grill next door to the hotel for a... More

We had enough Reward points for a free night at the Residence Inn, Plantation. We rented a car so the trip to this hotel was okay. Somewhat removed from the usual pre-cruise Fort Lauderdale action, but with the car we were able to do our wine, etc., shopping. We checked into the Residence Inn and then traveled by car a... More

Stayed here for an evening last week for corporate training. I really liked the quiet suite and overall it was a comfortable place to stay in Plantation. I've stayed at the Staybridge before and found the Residence Innto be quieter and more comfortable. The only problem I had with the place was that a doorknob was loose in the room... More

Although I have stayed at worse hotels, this is not up to the Residence Inn/Marriot standards. We stayed in a 2 bedroom/bath room which was nice and spacious and itself a good set up. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms and closets spacious. However, the carpets were very dirty, they needed either a huge shampoo or new ones, after 10... More

I am glad that I did not go by some of these reviews. I expect a Marriott to be above average and I found that this was the case. The employees were all very friendly and went out of their way to help in anyway. I found the hotel and the room to be clean with no problems. I would... More

Stayed overnight this week. Receptionist was pleasant. Macaroni Grill across the parking lot. Room was very clean. Only part I didnt like was the strong smell of dogs on the first floor. I stayed on the 4th but that odor was strong as I waited for the elevator. I've stayed at other Residence Inn but in Ft.Myers and they accept... More

My extended family all met here to share Christmas with my local in-laws. The rooms were very nice, the kitchens came fully stocked with cookware, utensils, and a full-sized refrigerator, and the staff was absolutely amazing. This was money well-spent for spacious, clean accommodations and great service. We will definitely be staying here for future visits. In response to the... More

I stayed here on Nov 2011. Hotel was not cheap at all, in fact I changed it instead of the Staybridge Suites, because I though it would be better, but it wasn't. Building is old, everything smells bad, I don't know why there are terrible customers staying there, all time yelling, and bouncing on the floor... breakfast wasn't as in... More

Marriott usually means comfortable, clean, bright and relaxing to me. This location was none of that. I can say that the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the coffee was good. Everything else was not good. The rooms and hallways smelled like industrial cleaner and cigarette smoke. Although this was a non-smoking hotel, I had to walk through the... More
