Avid Hotel FT Lauderdale Airport - Cruise
The hotel is perfectly located—just a short walk from the airport and incredibly convenient for travelers on a tight schedule. The rooms are spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with tasteful modern decor. I appreciated having an ironing board in the room, which made packing and unpacking much easier. The bathroom was large and well-appointed, featuring Dove toiletries—small touches that make a big difference. Breakfast was satisfying with a good variety of options and fresh flavors. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The only downside was the shuttle service—it wasn’t very reliable. We had to call reception directly to arrange pickup, and the return shuttle didn’t start until 8 AM, which was too late if you landed earlier. That said, it’s easy to find alternative transportation nearby. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value, comfort, and convenience. Highly recommended for travelers flying into Fort Lauderdale Airport.

Alani Bay Villas
We stayed for just two nights, but the villa exceeded our expectations based on the photos and pleasantly surprised us with its neighborhood location. Everything was clean and in working order, making the stay very comfortable. The host was attentive and provided clear, helpful access instructions. The only minor note is that the dining table is a bit small and located directly under the air vent, so it can get a bit chilly during meals. However, this tiny detail didn’t affect our overall experience at all. The property offers great value and we’d definitely recommend it to others looking for a quiet, well-maintained retreat in Fort Lauderdale.

Crocodhouse Early Check in Free Parking 7 Years Hosting in Fort Laud
The place was clean, quiet, and well-located, making it a convenient option for a short stay. The kitchen and living area were spacious and functional, with a TV for entertainment—perfect for relaxing after a long day. However, the mattress was extremely soft and had noticeable sagging, almost like sleeping on a hammock. There were no coil springs—just visible, worn-out springs that made the bed feel unstable and uncomfortable. I actually considered staying longer, but the poor mattress caused back pain by morning. If you're not sensitive to bedding quality, this could work out fine. But if comfort is a priority, you might want to reconsider. Overall, decent for the price, but the mattress really holds it back.
