I am currently at the Marriott Lauderdale North for a 2-day business meeting. The cab fare from the airport was $35 before tip. Check-in was a breeze and front desk staff was extremely helpful, professional, and courteous. This is a typical standard Marriott, recently refurbished but no bells/whistles. Room service lunch was very prompt and tasty (ordered shrimp cocktail, fruit salad, grilled chicken). Pool on 4th floor was nice, but exercise facility was a disaster. Couple of treadmills, eliptical, and mismatch of free weights. Went jogging outside and came across several homeless individuals "camped' out nearby hotel. Walking distance to shopping center, movie, restaurants. Meeting facility was pretty nice, no problems but nothing out of ordinary. I will stay here again if in town for business, or night before a cruise. If I had my family with me, or was in the area for extended time I would go elsewhere.
