We had a terrible experience at ramda inn in fort lauderdale. Staff was so rude and not helpful at all. They were unwilling to provide any information. Rooms were dirty and doors were jammed. Walls are so thin we could here everything going on in the next room. I will not recommend this to anybody. I though red roof inn was bad but i think ramada inn tops red roof inn.

My husband and I stayed here prior to our Thanksgiving cruise. We chose this place because we didn't want to rent a car and they provided shuttle service from the airport and to the cruiseport. The shuttle service was fine.

We really didn't venture out too much. We ate at the restaurant. I loved the Chicken Philly! My husband loved their baked lasagna! Our room wasn't fancy, but we really didn't require much because it was only a single night.

The plants and lighting around the pool area were beautiful at night! The only down side was there were no elevators. So, we had to carry all our bags to and from our 2nd floor room.

We would definitly stay here again prior to a cruise (but try to book early enough to get a room on the 1st floor).

After reading mixed reviews prior to our stay, i was apprehensive; however, we could not have been more pleased with the Ramada! The free shuttles from the airport & the next day to the cruiseport were prompt & great, the tropical setting around the pool area was beautiful & spacious, the front desk service was very helpful & friendly, our room was poolside & very nice w/ excellent ammenities, (refrig., microwave, coffee maker...) the sandwiches in the bar/restaurant were delicious, & you couldn't beat the hot breakfast buffet that was included in the price of the room. The building is older so the room seemed old in some respects, but it was very clean & had real nice things like the bedspread, drapes, & carpet which were relatively new. After some of the poor reviews I had read, I felt really compelled to give our honest opinion! We'd definitely stay again before or after a cruise. You can't beat it for the money & all the perks, like the shuttle, breakfast buffet which included basicly everything, etc.

My husband and i really enjoyed this hotel before and after our cruise holiday. Yes, the place is not brand new, but it was very clean and the free transportation was organised professionally. I don't understand the other review, we have stayed at the La Quinta and the Comfort Inn and they do not compare. The restaurant and outdoor tiki bar food is good and fairly cheap (not 5 star but better than most). The front desk and managers were extremely pleasant and we both felt real safe. There is more room to sit in the lobby for the free shuttle than at any of the other hotels and there is a brand new plasma TV to watch. I think that some of the other reviews must be from the staff of the competing hotels. We will book again next year.
