We checked in at midnight, late flight pre-cruise. We were given room #460. This room was dirty and the carpet hadn't been vacuumed. There were toenail clippings and food crumbs between the bed and nightstand. Also, there were urine spots on the wall next to the toilet. We checked out first thing in the morning and headed to the ship. We paid for a cab, only cost about $15. No shopping or dining close either. So many better choices pre-cruise.

This was a great choice for our after cruise stay. We checked in about 9:30A, booked 3 rooms and 2 were available.
Nice clean rooms everything you need for a 1 night stay. They had a computer so we could print our boarding passes for flight the next day.
We went to nascar and returned at 8p and got the 3rd rooms.
When I return to Ft Lauderdale for my next cruise I have no problem staying here again!

The shuttle runs every 30 minutes TO the airport. Easy enough to schedule that. However if you are AT the airport wanting to get back to the hotel to pick up your car, FORGET IT! We called the hotel after we had picked up our baggage at the carousel just as we were instructed on the paper we recieved when we made our reservations. FIFTY minutes and THREE calls later waiting in the hot Florida sun for the shuttle to arrive is totally unacceptable when we were told on our first call that it would be 15-20 minutes. DO NOT PARK YOUR CAR HERE OR AT HOMEWOOD SUITES NEXT DOOR AS THEY BOTH USE THE SAME SHUTTLE SERVICE!

We live in fl and booked this hotel for a family reunion because the family was flying in from Ca and they had booked 4 rooms for 2 days before their cruise.When I saw our room for over 150.00 a nite I was shocked. Small room with king bed, TV and a small suit case folding stand that was so small that we had to open our suitcase on the floor.So I upgraded to a suite for 166.00 .Very nice suite but for the fact that it had no soap(which i had to get from the front desk) or other sundries like shampoo,etc. Was told that only the VIP suites have sundries.This room was noisy as you could hear the TV in the next room as you tryed to sleep also our Surface tablet could not get on line with their wi fi.The breakfast selection and layout really was a joke(always crowded and had to wait for a place to even drink your coffee..Noticed people checking in at night were complaining that they had no place to park their cars and were told to park anywhere at their risk. Need more than one person at the front desk because it was a zoo in the evening as people were waiting to check in. Placed a couple of calls to talk with management about this, but to no avail. I always stay at Marriott Courtyards which I feel by far are the best in the chain!
