    Universal Palms Hotel North Fort Lauderdale

    A short guide to North Fort Lauderdale

    Although North Fort Lauderdale is mostly residential, many visitors go to enjoy the surf at Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach. Abundant marine life in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea makes for excellent diving. Just north of downtown, Wilton Manors is a well-known gay enclave. In Coconut Creek, butterflies, parrots, and hummingbirds fly freely at Butterfly World, the world's largest butterfly park.

    For a clean room with several amenities, you can't beat the price. It has a nice pool and courtyard, an adequate restaurant with a friendly staff. On the negative side, the beds were uncomfortable and not ones you would sleep on in the Hilton. Water pressure was up and down when taking a shower and the commode would bubble when flushed. Not really that […] big a deal, but I kept thinking it was going to back up, but never did. Read more

    We had booked and paid for a traditional "city view" room. When we checked in we were told that we were being given a complementary upgrade to a pool view room. We went to our too and found that it was spacious, clean and comfortable. We brought our luggage up and started to relax. Then we heard the first train coming through. And, we continued to hear […] trains coming through on a regular basis. The property almost abuts an active train track and unfortunately our "upgrade" was at the end of the property that is next to the tracks. I did call the front desk to see if we could switch rooms and they were willing to let us move. However, the "new" room had a broken bed and had obviously not been fully cleaned yet. It was already late and we had to get up at 4:30am to catch our flight. We foolishly decided to try to suffer through the train noise. We did start to acclimate to the train noise around 10:00pm, but then the pool party started. From about 10:00pm until we left at 4:00am we heard music, yelling and the occasional fireworks right outside of our doors. The hotel staff did nothing to try to reduce the noise. We were literally awake all night and ended up leaving early than anticipated just so we could try to catch a few minutes of sleep in the airport. If you are a spring breaker, then this would be the perfect hotel for you. However, if you are a business or family traveller you will probably want to look elsewhere. Read more

    You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig. This hotel is an old fashioned dump. Sure, they polished up the lobby, but the rooms are terrible and the WiFi / internet is the very slowest I have ever seen. Terrible all around.

    The area that the hotel was in looked a little rough....but it wasn't. The hotel was beautiful and the staff was wonderful and very helpful. We had a great room overlooking the pool and garden area. They had a cute little lounge attached. Thought there was a continental breakfast but they charged way too much for way too little. We ended up eating at […] the Waffle House next door, which they gave a discount for people staying in the hotel. We were very pleased with our room and the service. Wish I could have stayed longer to use the pool.....it looked very inviting. Read more

    Renee and the rest of the Front desk staff was very polite and accommodating and handled all of our requests immediately. Every employee from front desk down to laundry staff would smile and greet us as they walked by. The room was clean and comfortable. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and the numerous! water fountains made sitting by the pool […] very relaxing. When I reported the ice machine was malfunctioning, the maintenance man had it repaired within 1/2 hour. The hotel restraunt was a little pricy but the food was good. The only negative was that the hotel is located next to very busy train tracks but it wasn't unmanageable. We would definitely stay there again. Great place with great service. Read more

    I’m a frequent traveler and stay in hotels about a third of the year. This is probably the worse experience I have had at a hotel stay. The hotel lobby is actually really nice, their couches are really comfortable. When I arrived and checked on my reservation, the front desk informed me that my reservations show that it had been cancelled. He refused […] to check the confirmation numbers to see if they matched, he simply just said "under your name, it is cancelled, call hotels.com if you have a problem." Wow. In this respect, hotels.com did a great job getting this problem fixed. They called the hotel and got it cleared and we were able to check in. Our rooms, the phone wasn't working, we used our friend's room phone to ask for more towels, an hour later, no towels, we called again. After 3 hours, we finally went to the front desk to ask for them, turned out they had a shift change, and the last shift forgot. The beds are uncomfortable; old, springs, and stiff. The room does not look like the website photos at all, they look dingy. The worst part of it all, was the train. The hotel is located directly next to a main causeway railway that runs all night. It was loud, the room shakes, and train horn is loud and occurs every hour. We got this hotel because it looked like a cheap option. It was an uncomfortable, interrupted sleep. It was not worth a lost night of sleep even with the bad service. I will definitely never stay here again. I would even recommend against it to my friends. Read more

    The hotel was good, the service was also. I just didn't care to hear the train pass every couple of minutes. The tracks are literally right outside the hotel. Also the water pressure needs improvement. If you flushed the toilet and someone is taking a shower, the pressure will decrease. Otherwise the rooms were clean and the staff very friendly.

    Let's just say it was more than I expected for the price and locations. The lobby was amazing, updated and beautiful, check in was a breeze once the front staff acknowledge that we were waiting. The room was nice and spacious and she offered us an upgrade since we were staying for 3 nights. I did have a few issues with not having my room clean the first […] day, and there ran out of wash clothes only had pool towels. But for the price it was worth it. I also recommended a couple of my family members get a room here since there hotel was more of a roach motel. They also enjoyed this location Read more
