“Borderline acceptable for one night stay”

University Inn

Mar 3, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

Borderline acceptable for one night stay.
I've posted several online reviews and would like to think that I can be unbiased. The thing is, the hotel provided every amenity that was listed. They were just the lowest possible quality. Brand 'x' coffee Toiletries from what was probably a defunct $0.99 store. The towels (clean?) were tired and worn The room itself had a very worn fee tool. I only felt comfortable walking around in my socks. The mattress on one bed was nothing but lumps and bumps. Black and gray grout on the bathroom floor, but I think it was supposed to be white. Breakfast was all shrink wrapped, which I suppose was more hygienic. Upon checking in, we discovered the air conditioner could not be adjusted (broken knobs) We were to tired to complain or care and just slept in out clothes, on top of the borderline clean comforter. Upon checking out, the clerk was bemoaning the fact that her computer was frozen and just snapped to hand her the key cards (sorry lady, I didn't break your computer!)
Also, for anyone who isn't aware: This property is near the Ft Lauderdale executive airport, it is NOT an executive hotel near the Ft Lauderdale airport. (and, at least on this trip, there were NO executives sited).
We only stayed at this place for one night because we didn't want to bother relatives. Next time, we'll pocket the $120.00 and inconvenience the family!

“Great Value”

University Inn

Feb 14, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

My husband and I visited the Executive Airport Inn on Thursday and Friday prior to the Superbowl. We were pleasantly surprised at the condition of the hotel.

Checkin was very swift and they found a room for us even though we arrived just before noon. Our room was large and adequate. The carpet and walls were a bit worn, but nothing to complain about. The complimentary contintental breakfast was terrific. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

This hotel is located very close to a bus stop, so public transportation is available until 8:30 p.m. in the evening. There is a bus that will take you within walking distance of Ft. Lauderdale beach.

Overall we had a nice stay.

“So-So”

University Inn

Jul 15, 2006
2/2 found this review helpful

The rooms are sprayed with a noxious deodorizer to mask underlying odors. They were beginning a remodeling effort so hopefully the odor problem will be resolved. The staff was very nice and did their best to accomodate us. I'd consider trying EAI again but will first check for other hotels in the area next time I'm in Ft. Lauderdale.

“unexpectedly good”

University Inn

Jun 25, 2006
2/2 found this review helpful

I am very picky about hotels and was really hesistant when at the last minute i had to find a hotel and was stuck with the Executive Airport Inn because its one of those no-name hotels. However I was pleasantly surprised. My room was a decent size with nice wood furnishings, a nice large TV and a very comfortable king-size bed. There were also two lounge chairs and a desk ... well set up for a business traveller. The bathroom was very clean...I had no qualms about walking around bare-feet. I hope I just didn't luck out and got a great room....but I would definitely stay here again on another trip to fort-lauderdale.

“Service is horrible”

University Inn

Apr 6, 2006
4/4 found this review helpful

AS the name of the hotel indicates, it is near the airport. which is the reason we chose this hotel.
We requested a 3 am wake up call from the front desk so we could get to the airport on time. THe call NEVER came. I woke up late!!!! Wake up calls are a very basic service hotels provide... the Executive Aiport Inn could not even provide this. We called for extra pillows TWICE! Upon the final call from us, we were instructed to come down and get the pillows ourselves. I have not received any response from the email I sent to the manager.I will never stay at or recommend any hotel in the chain!!!!
BEWARE!!!!!!!
