“Excellent service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012

We stayed for 3 days at the Ocean gate hotel with our 1,5 year old daughter. The personnel is very kind and helpful. They offered us and another room that was more suitable for 3 persons. When we went to the beach we could take beach chairs and an umbrella. Rooms are very modern and clean. Also Fort Lauderdale is a very nice place!

“Go there”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 1, 2012

I've been there late october and I really enjoyed the stay.
The hotel is brand new. The room has a beautiful decoration, it is large, comfortable beds. They are working in the area (North Village) and constructing new small buildinds, such as The Ocean Gate, but this didn't bother us, by the way, the neighborhood is very silent.
There is a small kitchen, that might me used (we didn't) and also a safe box. The free wi-fi worked very good to us. Free parking is also available.
There's a nice pool too, that due the bad weather, was not possible to use it. Here is a suggestion: the pool could be heated.
The girls from the office are always ready to help you. I've bought some things and asked to deliver in the hotel. I had a problem with one package and Amanda was always ready to help me to solve it.

The beach is in 3 minutes walk. Las Olas Boulevard is also near, but you'd prefer go by car (also 3 minutes).

Well, it is a small and an excellent option to stay in Fort Lauderdale. Would return without doubts.

Fmiri,
What a nice review, thanks so much. We really love what we do and are so happy that it shows. We are actually looking into getting a pool heater and hope that you will enjoy a nice (warm) swim the next time you visit! Take care, NBV

“What a great place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 22, 2012

Just back from a great Florida trip. The Ocean Gate is one block off the ocean. Looks to have been totally remodeled in the past 1-2 years. Its quiet, clean, and safe. We stayed in a one bedroom suite. The two young women in the office were quite nice and helpful.

I would definitively stay here again. Its a great location and well worth the money.

“Back to school Vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 21, 2012

We spent the last weekend of the summer at the Ocean Gate hotel on Fort Lauderdale beach and it was an amazing experience. We were greeted by Carmelita and check in was easy and hassle free. The location was great, we were in walking distance from the beach and the pool at the hotel was clean and very inviting. Our room was modern and we also had a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances which was very convenient for the kids. Porsha one of the guest services managers made sure our stay went flawless and provided lots of towels and information about the North Beach Village area. The hotel is located near lots of shops, restaurants, and even a state park which made it easy to find things to do, and they also provided bike rentals for us to get round. The Kids and I had a great time at the Ocean Gate Hotel!! No complaints just a little sad we had to leave so some and head back to school.. Thanks OG staff for making our last weekend of the summer unforgettable.

Farfan64,
We hope that you will come visit during the next school break. You are always very welcome! Being just one block off the beach makes it a breeze to get to the ocean and also cuts out all that busy traffic on A1A, making it safe for the kids to enjoy the area, especially on the beach cruisers you mentioned! Thanks so much for your review!

“Very nice hotel in good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 9, 2012

We spent two lovely weeks here in April. The location is great, less than 300 meters from the beach, and the staff really friendly. We had a one-bedroom apartment which had a large bedroom, a nice living area and a surprisingly clean and well-equipped kitchen. Although we came for and preferred the beach, it was nice to have the swimming pool just outside the door. The hotel provided plenty of large towels both for the bathroom and the beach. Two things that could be slightly better are the wifi (unstable) and the noisy air conditioning (wall unit). Some more information about the facilities of the NBV hotels and the surroundings would also have been nice. But all in all a very nice and friendly place, well worth the money and we will definitely come back.
