I planned to stay at the Sheraton Suites Cypress Creek for one night July 3-4, 2005. However, this changed. I liked the hotel so much when I arrived that I actually added a night. I would agree that this hotel is underrated as it is extremely luxurious. To me, it feels like a five star hotel, not a three star. The hotel is bright pink and is very luxurious. You enter under a porte-co-chere leading to an elegant lobby with posh furniture and a bubbling fountain. After passing through the main lobby, you enter into a grogeous eight story atrium. It has a glass ceiling which is great because you can see the Florida sun, but not feel it! The atrium has a waterfall spilling into a koi pond with not only fish but also turtles! The atrium has plenty of seating and can see the hotel's four glass elevators. The atrium also has tropical gardens with palm trees and lush, tropical plants. The elevators were so cool, you could ride them up and could get a great view of the beautiful atrium. Next, the rooms- we had two. Both of which were furnished beautifully and were not run down or outdated at all. The room is a two-room suite. One room has a pull out sofa, a kitchenette, and a tv. The other contains the sweet sleepers, the door to the balcony, and the plentiful drawer space. The marble bathroom was very posh and had a great showerhead. But, the best was the Sweet Sleeper Beds- they were awesome! Overall, we loved the spacious two room suites and thought they were decorated very tastefully. The pool was okay- it was sort of small, but we dealt with it. Everything was excellent except for a few things: one was that the elevator got stuck with 8 people in it- they got out safely, one room's air conditioning wasn't working well, and the last- the train tracks. Be sure to request a room far from them as the train is very noisy. However, just get a good room far from the tracks and with good air condiotioning and you'll have a great stay. The best part of this hotel was value- we paid $89 a night during the fourth of July. This hotel is by far one of the best in ft lauderdale and miami for value. I will return for sure and would reccomend this hotel not only to the buisness traveler, but as well to the leisure ones. This hotel is for sure UNDERRATED!
