Rodeway Inn And Suites Airport - Fort Lauderdale 26.08876, -80.18598

The hotel was clean and was fine. It suited our needs for an overnight stay for our flight.

Good location between Airport and Seaport. They will pick you up at the airport (LONG WAIT) and in the morning after a good breakfast take you to your Cruise-ship.

Upon arrival at the airport, it took only a few minutes after I called for the shuttle to arrive. Bar closes at 3 a.m. so did not need to go out for food.

when we arrived at the airport- I was told to call back for a shuttle in about 10 min....we waited and did so-then were instructed in a not so nice way to go to the hotel pick up zone where we met another couple head there as well who had been waiting 40 min! we waited another 5 min and finally the driver who spoke no English at all scurried us all into the shuttle then he took us a a 15-20 min drive thru some scary areas to the hotel- We concluded he wasnt familiar with the area. No appologies were offered to anyone at anytime. While checking in I overheard the same front desk guy hang up on a customer who wanted pick up service! it's small things like this that can set the wrong tone for one's vacatoin...I would suggest the hotel conduct a class or two in customer service....nothing fancy just commomn courtesy.... other than that it was an ok place for a 1 night stop...

I was very impressed with hotel. Nice pool and sports bar with good specials. The only bad thing was that this hotel has no vending machines, I found this to be my only negative thought about the hotel and would stay there again.

For my business travel needs it suited the bill. I need internet, clean non-smoking room. I was happy that I called to let them know I wanted ground floor and they had one left so they held if for me. There is a bar up front that was hopping that night, but I chose not to join everyone, seemed fun. Parking area well lit up front, ok on sides. Older hotel but pretty clean and shades/linens seemed updated and colorful. Worked for me, best price I could find for where I needed to be! Checkout could have been faster, but I think it was just that one person not necessarily all times, I was just in a hurry.

Neighborhood was a little questionable but I could park in a very safe spot with some other expensive autos.

After we got in the first room, they called us and said the room was under maintenance. The second room, had no a/c, holes in walls, the bottom of the door was broken, and the toilet didn't flush. But, it was not the wrong room. The next room was perfect. Staff was awesome.

This was my first experience staying at a Rodeway. I was 100% satisfied in every respect. The room was large and well equipped. The entire facility appeared very clean. The food and service were above average at the restaurant and breakfast bar. The cost of the room was very fair. I definitely plan to stay at this Rodeway again.

Not a fancy hotel, in fact it's really a motel. You can only get to the second floor using stairs, which is tough with 2 weeks worth of cruise luggage for a family of 4. We could have waited 1.5 hr for a downstairs room, but were anxious to check in and quickly go to the everglades airboat ride before it got too late. They were great at arranging the trip to the airboats which included the shuttle and the boat tickets. Izzy also got us a discount for our kids on the shuttle. Izzy seems very customer-oriented in a professional but friendly way. The shuttle picked us up at the cruise port and brought us to the hotel once we called the hotel and asked for a shuttle to come. Took about 40 minutes but the driver kept in touch by cell phone. The desk staff weren't very friendly and/or very bright or efficient, but everything was fine for what we needed. The room was clean and neat. The bathroom tiles did show some age and touch of mold as other reviews mentioned, but it was consistent with Florida humidity and age of the building. The one negative - the sports bar restaurant on site is convenient and actually has a wide variety of very good food BUT it is a dark, smoky, bar setting that is uncomfortable for families with kids. It is really a dive, including young trashy waitresses. You don't want to let your 10 year old walk across the room and use the game machines alone.

We were very pleasantly surprised at the outstanding value and quality of this nice hotel. Complimentary shuttle service from pier to hotel and then to airport on next day. Nicely appointed, clean, newly decorated rooms. Satisfactory free continental breakfast. Pleasant, helpful staff. Great and economical restaurant and bar in hotel.Nice large warm swimming pool with tables and lounge chairs.

I was pretty happy with my hotel stay here. I arrived at 1 am after a late flight and the desk clerk was very pleasant and checked me in and showed me how to get to the room and how to sign up for the shuttle service to my cruise ship the next morning. The room was large and nicely set up, clean and while it was obvious that it wasn't new and there were a few nicks and dings around, was in good shape. There was a microwave and mini fridge in the room as well. The bed wasn't the best but it was ok. The next morning I was happy to see a very nice breakfast-pastries, fruit, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, cereal and juice, and there were 2 ladies who would make a fresh waffle for you. The crowd awaiting shuttles was large but dwindled fast, due to the well organized shuttle service. The people running the shuttles were friendly and efficient. The shuttle took me right to the cruise ship - I only had to pass my bags to the porters there and go on in. And it only took about 5-10 minutes. Just a couple of notes - If you come in late the shuttle from the airport is not 24 hours (it ends at 10 or 12 midnight, can't remember) and the cab will cost about $20. Also there is no elevator so if you have heavy bags you might want to request a ground floor room.

The events manager is superb, the room good for a night the other staff not what I would call "Customer Friendly"!!

We like the free airport. cruise port shuttle. Thanks the drivers!

After reading some reviews, I had some hesitation in making resevations. There was a little mix up on where to pickup the shuttle at the airport. The shuttle wait time may be a little longer than other hotels but we always goot picked up and dropped off. There is a sports bar in the hotel to eat. There aren't any other places to eat that are within walking distance. They will store your luggage if you come in before check in time. Shuttles are free to from the airport and cruise ships, But they will also arrange for a shuttle for other places for a price (good for big groups)

I tried to call The Rodeway's shuttle service after arriving at the Ft. Lauderdale airport. It rang and rang...never was answered...had to take a taxi for about $25. Manager wouldn't give me any credit...they actually did have a shuttle for me on the return trip the next day...so...50% success rate here...in school...that is an "F"

The hotel had a very reasonable rate. Bathroom small, but adequate. Attendant very polite. Hotel does need some renovation. Continental breakfast was an added benefit for the money.

Good to stay couple nights.

We loved the hotel. We stayed 2 nights before a cruise. Airport pick up and cruise port delivery. Nice breakfast and excellent resturant on site. Would recommend and use again.

Dan, the receptionist, was really bad, officious, condecending, authoritarian. But the hotel was just right for our needs. Would stay there again. For the price, one cannot fault the hotel, except for Dan, the Man.

Date: 2/17/09. I found the hotel to be OK for the money. The room was clean but it could use an update. The bathroom could use a little LTC but for a one nighter it was adequate. There is a sports bar that serves good food so you don't have to go out looking for a place to eat. I also liked the transportation to Port Everglades. I would concider staying there again the next time I go on a cruise. There was no elavator so if you get a room on the second floor and you are elderly it could pose a problem for you. I found the check in to be a little long but not too bad.

The tile in the bath room needs to have mold cleaned from grout.

This hotel met our needs as it was less than 10 mins from the Orlando airport & we had a very early flight. The hotel was clean and beds were comfortable, great for the one night stay but probably wouldn't stay for an extended time.

great hotel for the money and convenience to the airport and cruise terminal. Also, adjoining restaurant was good.

EVERTHING WAS FINE EXCEPT WHEN WE GOT HOME AND FOUND THAT WE HAD BEEN CHARGED AGAIN FOR OUR ROOM ON OUR CREDIT CARD

Okay for overnight stay.

"Fabulous" to say the least. I chose this hotel because of the cost in comparison to other hotels and we just needed somewhere to stay overnight before our cruise to the Bahamas the next morning. From the moment I entered I realized that the room experience was above 3 star status due to the furnishings and the amenities. The queen size beds were very comfortable and we had what looked like a 42" flat screen TV which I haven't seen at other hotels. My sister previously worked for the Ritz Carlton Hotel as an events manager and is known for staying at 5 star hotels only. She kept walking from the bedroom to the bathroom and kept repeating that she cannot belive that this hotel is not at least 4 stars. Although we were expecting free continental breakfast, my only recommendation would be for an option for full breakfast which I would not hesitate paying for. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

great place for the night. right next to airport and port. van picked us up from airport and took us to the port with no problems. If you have any problems talk to Izzy and he'll fix it and if you need to know where the good places are to eat, just ask him (the chubby guy. we flew in a day early and it was just as cheap and easy to rent a car right there in the hotel as it was to take a taxi or their shuttle, plus it was a quick easy drive down to South Beach and enjoy the evening. excellent for a one night stay before getting on the cruise.

This place has all the basics (on-site restaurant/sports bar, big soft bed, mini-fridge, microwave and coffee setup in the room, pool, courtyard, continental breakfast with both indoor and outdoor seating) at one of the best rates in the area. The neighborhood is semi-industrial-- the hotel's driveways literally let out onto the on-ramp for I-95 South-- but it's plenty quiet enough inside. (I went to a nearby restaurant mainly because the sports bar was pretty deafening that night, with the Super Bowl on dozens of megascreens!) Cruisers are dispatched to their respective ships at nearby Port Everglades in complimentary vans with plenty of reassuring public address announcements and well-rehearsed precision. NOTE: It was a Rodeway Inn at the time of my stay on Feb 1 '09, but is shortly to become a Quality Inn.

My wife and I stayed one night before going on a cruise. The service was fine. The room was just "ok". The biggest problem we had was; right before turning out the light to go to sleep, we saw a roach crawling on the wall above our heads. We did not have the most restful night's sleep...

Great location if you are going to be taking a cruise as it's just minutes away from the port. Hotel offers free transportation to the cruise line of choice. The hotel is in need of a make-over. The grounds are not kept up. Large pool area however it needs some attention. For the condition of the room, the price was a little on the high side. If you need a one night stay this would do. Anything longer you may want to consider looking elsewhere.

Shuttle service was very convenient as is hotel location.

The hotel is not new but was very clean and well maintained. The staff was very helpful. We had 2 rooms for 1 night as we were going on a cruise. The hotel offered good shuttle service to and from the pier. We would stay here again.

This motel is a great value and a good location for cruise folks arriving to Fort Lauderdale. They offer free shuttle service from FLL and to the cruise port in the morning. They have a restaurant/sports bar "attached" to the hotel so you don't need a rental car if you want to eat at the restaurant. They also offered shuttles (very low priced) to other area stores and restaurants. They worked hard to make sure folks were satisfied with their stay. I would stay there again if leaving out of Fort Lauderdale for a cruise.

This is a standard hotel - no thrils - Pilows were hard, standard continental breakfast - rooms and bathroom were clean - this hotel is good for 1 or 2 nights

The shuttle service from the airport to the hotel and then from the hotel to the cruise port was great. The driver was a great tour guide. Izzy kept organized control over what could have been total chaos with nearly 200 guests trying to get to their cruises on Sunday morning. We literally stepped out of the shuttle and onto our ship. The sports bar had great food. The pool was terrific. The hotel even offered an extra shuttle run to Walgreens early on Sunday, but we were able to buy things we forgot right at the hotel.

Helpful staff. Close to shopping areas and fast food.

It was a perfect place for a quick overnight stay.

Excellent service from airport to Rodeway Inn and to the port for a cruise the next day with free transportation on each. Would definitely stay there again if going on another cruise.

The hotel is in a good location and offers a shuttel from the airport and to the ocean terminal for cruse passanges.This is great for persons who have booked a cruse. The condition of the hotel and rooms leaves a little to be desired. It is Ok for a day or two but I would not stay any longer. My biggest gripe was the mold in and around the shower.
