Top South Fort Lauderdale Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport-Cruise Port

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for one night before our cruise, and the location was perfect. It's in a busy area with several hotels and businesses nearby, making it very convenient for cruise travelers. The hotel is well maintained, although you can tell it gets a lot of traffic. Our room had a slight musty odor when we arrived, but since we were only there overnight, it wasn't a major issue. There was plenty of space for our group of five, and the property was clean overall. Check-in was quick and easy. However, check-out took much longer than expected because the guest ahead of me was completing a cash payment that required extra time. During such a busy morning, it would have been nice to have another employee assist guests with simple check-outs. Overall, this is a good property in a great location for anyone cruising out of the area, and I'd stay here again."
