Ideal for us on disembarkation from Cruise ship and close-ish proximity to rental car companies . Our suite was clean /very spacious / quiet considering how close it s to interstate highways etc. Breakfast was quite adequate. There was ample parking for the car. Free wifi and adequate TV channels. Stayed one night. More

We booked this hotel prior to our cruise from the Port Everglades. What a beautiful hotel. Very clean, and we were upgraded to a suite. Comfortable bed, the breakfast in the morning was your typical Holiday Inn breakfast, but still very good. Great experience at this hotel. Very comforting like home. We booked this particular hotel because we had a... More

This hotel is convenient to I-95 and the Port Everglades cruise port. The staff was friendly and the rooms were very clean, roomy and attractive. The property has a safe "feel" to it. Parking is free and a good free hot breakfast was available. Our room was next to the elevator and there was a muted noise when it operated.... More

Dear Valued Guest from Florida Thank You for taking the time to review our hotel. We appreciate your kind words about our staff and hotel and the great review (and we are sure other TripAdvisors do as well). We are getting bids to sound proof the back side of the elevator.

After reading the reviews at tripadvisor, I decided I stayed 1 night @ this hotel. Thank God it was only 1 night. The hotel is having a lot of traffic thanks to the reviews from this site. These reviews DO NOT reflect the quality of this hotel and they are WAY overrated. The hotel probably had a recent remodel but... More

Dear Sir/Madam So sorry that you didn't like the hotel you stayed in. We are positive that you are mistaken on the location. We just opened June 10, 2010. We didn't put paint on or make-up. The building was here for a few yrs, but the entire inside was distroyed and remodeled, walls and all......The Holiday Inn Express value all... More

We were lucky enough to stay at The Holiday Express that made you feel as though we were home. Each day you were greated by a staff that knew us and asked if they could do anything to make the stay any better. The staff always had smiles from Mrs Allen to the our housekeeper. The condition of the hotel... More

Super friendly staff and a great, clean and comfortable hotel. We stayed here for 2 nights pre-cruise and chose the Holiday Inn mostly for its price, sharing a room with 2 queen beds amongst the four of us. With a car, this hotel is only a 20 minute drive from the Port, and only a few minutes drive to restaurants... More

We stayed here for one night on our way to Mexico, and would definitely return. The location is great. Very close to route 95 and the airport. Also, not far from Lauderdale- by-the-Sea, which is a good spot for cocktails and dinner. The room was immaculate and very spacious, with a separate sitting area, beautiful bathroom, and very comfortable king... More
