Just returned from a week in Florida. Stayed at the Gallery One, Doubletree Suites Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale on E. Sunrise Blvd. Totally loved it. The renovations are great, the updates to the rooms couldn't be better. The kitchens are all modern with stainless steel applicances, nice cabinets, marble floors in the kitchen and bath. The living room/dining areas have been updated and have a more sleek, modern look with neutral colors. The nicest additions are the 42" plasma tv in the living room and the updated styling in the bedroom. Beds are very comfortable and pillows were great. The all marble baths look great with large walk in shower featuring a rain shower head.
Overall, this hotel gets two thumbs up. Service is good, cleanliness great and I will definitely be returning.
Good work, Doubletree. Can't wait to go back.

My husband and I stayed at the Doubletree for 10 days after a cruise. Being my first time to Florida, I didn't know for sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised. The room was large and new and really clean!! It was like having a small apartment. We ate at the restraunt for lunch one day. The portions were large and the food was good. The pool was nice as you could look onto the waterways. The front loby was being worked on but didn't pose a problem. The staff is nice but not overly friendly but maybe just because I was comparing them to the cruise we had just left where the staff are so willing to please you. I would go back again. I am really picky about where I stay . I have a really hard time staying at any hotels that are dirty or are a "party hotel" for teenagers. This was a nice place to stay.

Stayed here for a couple nights and had a great experience. As Hilton Honors Diamond members we were upgraded to a beautiful and large suite overlooking the water way with windows wrapping the entire way around. Very excellent. We ordered room service one night and it was very, very good. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend the hotel. Doubletrees can be very risky, some are nice while others are terrible, but this was a very good example of one.

We (my 3-year-old daughter and I) stayed here for two nights in September and given another chance, I would definitely choose another hotel.

I did know previous to our stay that there was a renovation going on. But I was told that this would not affect us because most of the renovation was done. Unfortunately, the pieces that were not done surrounded the dining area (NO FOOD!) and the pool area. I was very bummed about the food situation. Not only was there a lot of rough construction to walk around (not cool for a kid), but hardly any of the dining options for room service were available to us. When I ordered a sandwich, they told me that I could only get pasta salad and so I said, forget the side. Instead they went out and bought potato chips. That would have been great, except that server informed me in a very snotty way that they had to go out and get them for me. I've never ever considered not tipping someone before, but I was very tempted. I felt terrible about my order and completely lost my appetite.

The pool was open (thank goodness), but I was really bummed when my soaking wet daughter needed to use the bathroom (an outdoor bathroom that was clearly marked as such) and we were told that it was closed. We had to walk soaking wet through the lobby and the bar to use the bathroom. Would it have been too much trouble to post a sign?

There were other little glitches in our stay, but I will say that the rooms were very clean and the staff (except for that server) was very nice. There was a very nice mall next door and the beach was just several blocks from the hotel (but far longer than the 2 blocks it says it is; for city dwellers, it's more like four or five). I would never consider staying at this hotel again, especially with a child, even after the renovations are complete.
