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.

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.

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.

Location

Very close to airport, however, shuttle only runs on the hour which was not good for us thus $20 taxi ride. Food and room just fine.

Very convenient!

Transportation from FLL to the hotel took a great deal of time since we circled at least 3 times for some people who couldn't manage to find the correct stop. Shuttle to the cruise pier was perfect - we were scheduled to leave at 11:00 am and were on the way 5 minutes prior. The breakfast was okay but they ran out of many items. The hotel is old and dated but, for the money and conveniece, it was a great place to stay.

Just what we needed

The hotel provided us with a nice room for one night that was close to the airport. As a bonus, the Tiki Bar was great and we had a lot of fun.
