Gigi's Resort by the Beach

hotel manager was very nice other then that place needs a major upgrade

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotels in Ft. Lauderdale are ridiculously expensive due to few options for travelers. This hotel was beneath the expectations of what was paid for the stay. The room was in poor maintenance and the views were of a parking lot and an alley. The staff was pleasant and helpful and the parking was free, but this hotel was shoe horned in between two […] other buildings so it felt like a dungeon. It stated it was a non-smoking site, but smoking is allowed in the garden area and when that occurs the entire compound reeks of smoke. Our room was on the bottom floor and we had to hold our breath to go from our room out to the street. My advice: If your going to spend this kind of money, spend a little more and get a nicer place!

I was very disappointed with the overall condition of the hotel. It's not the worst I've ever seen, but for the price and the location I was expecting more. There was no phone in my room and the one outside barely worked. The free breakfast was very unhealthy and didn't look sanitary or fresh. The hotel staff was very unprofessional and mean spirited. […] However, things got better on the second day. The hotel is perfectly situated on the beach, walking distance to everything which is why I chose it in the first place. If you can overlook the small stuff as I did, this isn't a bad place to stay. Very secure and quiet. Read more

The Good: Manager is very nice and Gigi's is very close to the beach. The Bad The entire place needs to be cleaned and updated- The ugly- the hot water took over 20 minutes just to begin to warm up, the toilet wasn't cleaned, one of the windows was broken.

Stayed one night. Location was great. Hotel was fairly run down but we spent the time down on the beatch front. Area is excellent for bar/restaurants and music. Ok for one night.

Th GiGi Resort Hotel offrs pictures of a bright red velvet sofa adorned with matching furnishings--very similar to what one might expect from a Kimpton Hotel; you might think you have found a hip, gay themed beach resort. BEWARE. The place looks fine in dim light: although essentially clean, with friendly part-time staff, the hotel is really a converted […] apartment house, circa 1975. It is very, very banged up with sloping floors, cantankerous air conditing units, with furnishings a mis-matched attic colleciton: its a hodgepodge of discarded furniture that has seen a lot of miles, particularly the bed and couch--although I stress it is not an illicit hotel-- which reminded me of my college party house, just after a good scrubbing before parents' weekend. That understood, the rooms are very large, some come with kitchens, and a few offer living rooms (creaky fans overhead, too). If I was in college, or with a bunch of graduate school friends, I would stay here -- some of the larger room / suites can accomodate many people, and the kitchens are a plus, but make sure you bring spare bedding -- and in this vein is a good bang for the buck It would be a good low cost, party place, only a block or so from the beach and water taxi. Bring your hookah and big boy beer coolers. Read more

shabby, broken windows, amateurish, room cleaning non existant, towel quality raggy, close to beach but for the money paid, was not worth it. Shower head was broken, and the shower leaked. Rust stains all over, the old adage, you get what you paid for, well in this case, i got nothing for what i paid. i took this place so i did not have to drive New […] Years Eve to parties. I live in florida, and resent paing tourist taxes to stay local. Read more

We found a questionable brown stain on the unpressed sheets. The mattress was soft and uncomfortable and the bed frame had years of.collected dirt visible. The paint was peeling off the ceiling and the water pressure in the shower was the worst I've seen anywhere. No cups or glasses to drink from. However, the staff were friendly and replaced the sheet […] and the location is very close to the beach. Read more

The Place reminded me on a showgirl way pass her prime and ill-maintained. I'm sure Gigi was a great little romantic getaway back in her day. If well managed and restored it could be a again. My Girlfriend and I were taken in by the pictures in the website but totally disappointed upon arrival. The peeling paint and dirty mirrors and dimmly lit hall […] way left much to be desired. The rope lights on the trees and courtyard lighting was 95% burnout or disconnected. The wesite claimed cable TV was included but we only could get 5 local channels, only 1 major network. There was no phone in our room. The Ashtray in the courtyard were dirty. We felt sand in the sheets the first night. There was no Ice machine availible in the entire place, we were told that the nearest place to get ice was a conveniece store 5 minutes walk away , it was more like 10 mins jogging. The second night we were given stained wash cloth and and a a brown bath towel. My girl said I'll pass, on using them. and we ran out of toilet paper and had to resort to borrowing some from the neighboring room. the bath room had no ventalation and the cracked window was rusted shut and could not be opened. The so called "Continental breakfast" short hours 9a-11a. the website claimed a Minibar the mini fridge with a microwave on top was completely empty and only one applaicne could be plugged in at a time to the aged two plug outlet. We were also misled to beleive that this was a smoking room and that the place had a pool, perhaps we were mistaken or misread it. The water pressure was excellent and the location was excellent. Over all it is a 4 star location and 2 star Hotel. As my girlfriend said "We won't be saying here again." Read more

Heruntergekommen und schmuddelig. Das Frühstück hat seinen Namen nicht verdient. Nur die Lage ist genial.
