We were booked for two nights at the end of May. But this is the first time I have ever found a hotel so dreadful I could not stay. The refurbished reception lobby belies the very poor state of the rest of the hotel. The bedroom we were allocated on the executive floor was very shabby - stained walls together with dated, scratched and worn furniture - and the bedroom carpet had not been vacuumed and the bathroom floor not been cleaned, with hairs all over the floor. Very unpleasant. We asked to be moved and were directed to another room on the same floor, and this was equally shabby and also overlooked a noisy air conditioning unit. So we asked to be moved again and were then allocated a junior suite on the same floor - but still the same worn, scratched and shabby furniture, this time also including holes in the fabric of the armchairs. The corridor carpet was filfthy and looked as though it had not been vacuumed for days. The reception staff did their best to be helpful, but we could not face staying and transferred to the new Hilton hotel in Fort Lauderdale which is brand new, has a beachside location and is quite superb; and even though there is construction work going on both sides we felt that was far preferable to the shabby surroundings of the Deerfield Beach Hilton. The Deerfield Beach hotel is not up to Hilton's usual standard.
