"I had booked a room with a water view and balcony but when I checked in I was given a room with a parking lot view and no balcony. I went back to reservations and a different reservation clerk named Darius helped me . I have loved my room over looking the pool and waterway. It wasn't the full water view I originally booked, but Darius worked some magic and I have thoroughly enjoyed my balcony. The hotel is just..."

"4.5 Beautiful hotel for the price. It was clean with a stunning view! We didn’t get to use the pool due to our short visit but it was a really nice area with a nice view of the marina. We came to this hotel for a direct shuttle to the Disney cruise which was an incredibly smooth process! We checked in and then went over to the Disney desk to get our shuttle ticket and information. The following morning we..."

"Best hotel I have ever stayed at! Great service, beautiful, clean, and modern rooms with amazing views. All staff were very kind and approachable. In a place where Uber is super fast with pickups, you can get anywhere just fine even though the walking experience puts this hotel a bit away from other things despite being downtown. I was very happy with my corner room and my balcony with the awesome views! It really helped bring my trip to life..."

"We have been to Fort Lauderdale many times pre-cruise and this is the first time we have stayed here. Likely the best hotel we’ve been to so far that’s close to the port, but, also has wonderful amenities and service! Even though it was very busy when we arrived, check-in with seamless and Alex behind the front desk was amazing!! He was super friendly and offered us complementary water bottles right away! We were very early for check-in because our..."

"This was overall a great hotel, the only con is that you have to pay $40 a person per day for the breakfast buffet. That is insane. Who in the world would pay $40 for breakfast! I know not me. The rooms are nice but there are no cups for water nor a microwave. If you need to use the microwave, there is one in the lobby of you need to. The food was great and it is right by..."

"Here for work, good location for business across from convention center. Stayed in west villas. Room was nice, beds were good, a bit small. Enjoyed the balcony overlooking the harbour. Bathroom was our major trouble area. Didn’t come stocked with lotions or amenities, however we did ask the front desk and they gave use some. The biggest problem which made the bathroom almost un useable was the shower, every time you use it, it flooded the bathroom. Cafe in lobby..."

"I stayed at the Hilton Marina Fort Lauderdale and had a great experience. The whole property is clean and well maintained, and the staff was genuinely friendly and helpful. The on-site restaurant was SOOOO delicious . The food tasted fresh, it came out super quick, and the food flavors were unreal … not to mention the view of the marina with the boats was chefs kiss. The breakfast there in the morning was also so good, with tons of options..."

"d I wanted to personally share how impressed we were with the entire experience. Your security team was absolutely amazing — professional, attentive, and incredibly supportive throughout the event. The hotel staff overall was so accommodating and made everything run seamlessly. A special thank you to Kevin at the front desk, who was always available to help with anything we needed and did so with a smile. His positive attitude and willingness to assist truly made a difference. We look..."
