Ramada Fort Lauderdale Airport/Cruise Port

Run Down

The shuttle service was good and the rooms were very clean. Unfortunately the hotel is located in a bad neighborhood and is not located in an area easily accessable to dining or shopping.

Don't expect to see area

It took almost an hour to be picked up from the airport. The staff was overworked answer phones and also trying to deal with check-ins. No points of interest or resturants close to hotel but food was good at the hotel. Did schedule and take us to cuise port on time. Good place for a night lay over before or after a cruise and flight.

Awesome!

Beautiful pool-tiki lounge area. Electronic safe, microwave, and refridgerator in rooms was very nice, because there arent many restaurants in walking distance, besides the hotel's of course. Very nice hotel, would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Good location

Great location, great shuttle service,and excellent staff. However, the building itself wasn't that great when built, and it still isn't. Rooms are dark, as curtains must remain closed. Neighborhood isn't the best.

Great for the money

This was a good choice for what we needed. The shuttle was timely and the rooms and surrounding areas were really great. My only suggestion or need was that there were a lot of us who came in after 9:00 and by the time we were registered, the restaurant/room service was closed. Most of us were hungry so we made do with the vending machines. If you are a late checkin, you might want to make sure you have had some food.

Overnight Stay Before Our Cruise

This hotel was exactly what we expected for the price range we selected. The room did have a little bit of a musty smell upon entering. (nothing that couldn't be overcome)It was very convenient for an overnight stay prior to leaving for a cruise out of Port Everglades. We took advantage of the pool area. The restaurant within the hotel was one of the highlights. We were given a dinner coupon for 50% off the second entree. Dinner was very tasty. We were also given a coupon for free buffet style breakfast, which also was very tasty and convenient.

Rooms need major renovation.

Main complaint was the bed. Mattress extremely uncomfortable. Bed pillows were like shredded foam rubber in a bag. Also, hotel was busy the night before, therefore rooms were ready late, and had to wait till almost 5:00 to get clean towels. Waited in the lobby till 4:00 (1 hour past check in time) and were not told when room was ready. Desk said it was the maid's fault for not reporting it ready. Location was convenient, but probably won't stay there again unless it has major renovation.

Needs a lot of improvement

We booked a reservation at the Ramada since it was close to the cruise port terminal. Figuring that a Ramada would be a good choice we were disappointed in the condition and service of the hotel. The hotel itself was old, the lobby area and restaurants had dishes and waste all around. I was really surprised at how badly it all looked. Had we been there for more than a night we would have checked out and went to another hotel. After this experience, I feel that saving a few extra dollars is not worth it and will gladly pay more to stay at a Hilton or Hyatt.

Stuck In No Man's Land

This is a tired old hotel that is convenient only to the airport. Unless you have your own car, you're stuck. It's located right "on" the intersection of two major highways, SR84 and I-95, and there is nothing you can walk to. Consequently you are captive to their restaurant, and while the service was very good and the staff very polite, the food was mediocre at best. Even the vending machines had stale food. Although the price was right, next time I'll choose a hotel where I can at least walk to a convenience store or fast food outlet.

Great hotel fast to the air port

Great hotel fast check in beautiful pool 15 minutes to the airport near all food etc. But a very quick right off the highway but we passed it and made an easy uturn and were right there. Fast check in and great value for the money. We have used hotels.com for years and go all over and never had a problem.

Needs Vast Improvements

Great location to get to and from airport. Shuttle service a big factor when choosing this hotel. Disappointed with the condition of the hotel, very dated and in bad need of updates. Room was clearly 1950's style. Bedding horrible, and blanket felt like cardboard. Would not recommend this hotel.
