I had read one review that mentioned bugs in the rooms but I thought it was either an exageration or a one time thing. No hotel would allow bugs right?
WRONG! There were in fact little bugs in each of our groups rooms that the staff was not too concerned about.
The bar closes early (11 p.m.) during spring break. Are you kidding me?
The valet staff has very bad attitudes and charged me a parking fee for each night of my stay but I only had a car there for two of the five nights.

Do your self a favor and pass on this hotel. There are far too many better choices.

I was a little worried about staying at the Fort Lauderdale Embassy Suites after seeing some of the reviews here. I stayed at the hotel for two nights and throughly enjoyed my stay.

The staff was nice and accomodating even giving four of us a ride in the hotel shuttle to the concert we were attending two miles away. The pool was beautiful. The gift shop well stocked, and I am a fan of the clock radio which attached to my ipod. The room was big and not worn, and we didn't hear noise from any other rooms.

I was charged twice for parking and when I checked out the charge was immediately cleared off my bill.

One of the best parts of the hotel is the location. Strip malls with every kind of store you can imagine surround the property, and the beach was a few miles away.

I would recommend this property to other travelers.

2nd time we stayed here for a precruise night. Our room was recently remodeled and very nice and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint is no shuttle service from the airport They do take you to the airport and to the cruise port of departure...just plan for a taxi ride. The nightly reception pours the good stuff. I probably will look for a hotel that picks you up at the airport...but I booked the room with Hilton Honors points. In January the hotel and city was still cleaning up from the hurricane but I didn't see any bugs.

We stayed at the Embassy Suites pre-cruise and it was the worst hotel I've ever stayed at. The rooms looked old and shabby and not very clean. We figured it was just one night so we'd endure. After being out all day viewing the sites in Fort Lauderdale, we returned to our room to relax and get some sleep. I noticed that there were lots of little bugs crawling around on the furniture. I called the front desk to inform them that the room had bugs. The lady told me she would send someone up to spray the room. I told her that was unacceptable because I would not sleep in a room and inhale insecticide all night. She told me if she could find a room we could move to another one. After going down to the front desk to speak with her, she did find another room but insisted the room had bugs because Fort Lauderdale was a tropical place. I told her that was insane because I'd stay in many hotels in tropical places (Aruba, Hawaii, Jamaica, etc.) and never saw a bug in the room. Sad to say, the new room had bugs too. Don't stay here.
