Homewood Suites Ft Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port

I stayed here on business recently. The hotel staff was inviting and friendly. The rooms could use a little updating as there were stains on the carpet and the furniture was a little beat up. Overall I had a pleasant experience here. I would stay here again on business.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was courteous and went out of their way to be helpful. The breakfast every morning was excellent! It was a true breakfast and not just donuts and coffee. The bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds that I have slept on. Our room was spacious and clean. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that the room did not have a dresser. The only drawers were the two in the bedside tables… one in each. That was just not enough for two people. Everything else was excellent and I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at this hotel recently as we had to catch a very early flight out of Ft Lauderdale Airport. We didn’t want to trouble our friends at such ungodly hours, and when we did the math, we found that we were better off staying here the night before, and leave our car there for free. It’s less expensive than riding super shuttle or über or parking at garage, and less stressful too. You can park for up to 21 days for free, though we overstayed without problem.
For the price this hotel is a good value. Staff was friendly, the room looked new and clean, and quite spacious with a kitchen area and a living area besides the room and toilet. Bed was comfy too. They also include breakfast and light dinner too — if you are not picky it’s a good freebie, though we didn’t get to try any food.
Going to the airport the shuttle departs on the hour, it didn’t leave exactly on the dot but still timely. When we returned it was a little bit of a trek to the «island» for hotel shuttles, and a good over half-​hour wait. Apparently the bus just left the airport when we called.

Saved by he staff, food and location…
This place is just ok after an awful overnight in their handicap accessible room. Claiming they were all sold out, we were forced to stay where the toilet knob didn’t work, the entry door did not have a safety lock, so one staff member walked in on us. No towel rack for the shower, no light bright enough for makeup, no hot water for shower, one shower knob wouldn’t stay put when you turned it, kitchen cabinet doors greasy and never wiped clean, no luggage floor rack… On and on…
Our room was so bad, I wanted to call the manager up and give him a tour, but we didn’t want to give up our precious time at that point.
What handicapped person could stay here? we do not know, when it was hard enough for us, «normal» ones to get around.
They have parking lot problems, you can’t easily access with your luggage through the bushes, elevator walls were gross, not wiped in years.
What’s good? Friendly staff, breakfast was hot, they serve wine and beer, even pasta on many themed nights. Location is close to main highway, and of course the airport, for which they have a free shuttle.
Still… Sadly, not the Hilton we know.

Good place if you have a big crowd.

My husband and I have stayed at several Hilton properties in the past, and we have always had a good experience with them. The Homewood Suites offer rooms that are like small apartments. The room we had at this location came with a kitchen (featuring a full size refrigerator, large microwave, and a 2 burner smooth top stove), bedroom with bathroom attached and a living room. They even had a shopping list attached to the refrigerator that we could fill out if we wanted them to go shopping for us. Coffee, tea, and bags of microwave popcorn come with the room. I must also note: the kitchen counter tops were made from REAL granite.
The hotel serves breakfast and dinner for guests (included with the room charge). Breakfast is served daily. Dinner, however, is only served Monday thru Thursday. The dinner comes with unlimited free beer and wine.
The staff here is wonderful and makes sure that everything runs smoothly for you. We will continue to stay at Hilton properties in the future.

Absolutly LOVE this place. Great accommodations, and near the airport. The room was wonderful. The food was great. Near the cruise port.

The dinner wasn’t up to standard at all. I can only assume they were poorly prepared for a sold out night: noodles with canned vegetables and cut up hot dog buns as a side dish… Served on Styrofoam. The staff has been pushy and defensive. So far so bad. Maybe the chciken marsala or warn dinner rolls were better…

I fancy myself more of a 5-​star hotel kind of a gal … But on a recent business trip I stayed at this Homewood Suites on the company dime. I have to say … I was quite impressed. The rooms weren’t super fancy but they were clean. Very clean. And Marcus at the front desk was probably one of the nicest, most helpful, knowledge front desk personnel I have ever encountered. And I stay at a lot of hotels … That kid rocked. I would totally stay at this hotel again.

Stay One — Great Experience (4 Stars)
I’m here on a layover, which often happens when returning from the Carribean. The front desk clerks are wonderful. Jessica even called in a carryout order for me and arranged for the shuttle driver to take me on the late night food run. Room is quite and clean. It has a little kitchenette stocked with plates, silverware and some pots and pans. There is a pool, although I don’t plan on using it… it’s already late and it’s sort of rainy. Further more I just shoveled in my wonderful carryout meal from Las Vegas Cuban Cuisine — I would have to wait 30 minute before I went swimming — Safety First!
Stay Two (2 Stars)
Very disappointing. Arrived around 8:15… There’s a private function going on in the lobby. The shuttle wasn’t available and there is no food service and very limited delivery service and few I any walkable restaurants. So no dinner…
The hotel is sold out — my non-​smoking room on the non-​smoking room reeks of smoke. The neighbors are noisy and the rate is $ 190. Can’t seem to get a
Care service for my early morning flight and the only workable shuttle gets me to the airport almost 2’hours early. I was just at full service resort Marriot which was no more expensive with many more amenities and abundant can service.

Cheap parking can be had here for long term parking needs. However; be prepared to wait for airport pick up… for up to an hour.
That’s a bummer as I was off an international flight, was fighting jet lag, and had a 4 hour drive ahead of me…
If they had more than one shuttle for both hotels that share the same parking lot, it would get 5 stars… seems like there are always drawbacks for anything that looks like a «deal» could have spent about $ 20 more and been picked up very quickly… the vans of other parking companies were passing by at 10 to 15 minutes on average.
Choose wisely with this knowledge.

Amazing place the staff and managers were so helpful to us very accommodating to our needs while my husband was here for work. We really appreciate all the assistance the rooms are gorgeous very clean would love to take this bed home with me :)

Wellllll. Jetblue decided to cancel my flight and I was stuck here with my friend. The room was amenity rich, spacious and very comfortable. I got stuck with the pull out bed since Jetblue messed up again and did not give two vouchers. I did not mind it though. It was still very comfortable and you do not feel the support bar through the mattress. The shower was nice and the soaps were of average quality. The continental breakfast was left to be desired for. There is a nice swimming pool with patio seating. Too bad there is not a bar.
The staff was very helpful transitioning us from our disappointing flight. They were very accommodating, friendly and pleasant to work with.
They have shuttle support to and from the airport and a variety of neighboring restaurants. Too bad it does not go to the beach.

I’ve enjoyed staying at this hotel on several occasions. Each time, I have been impressed with the accommodations. The staff is friendly and professional in addressing your needs. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. The suites are well laid-​out for rest and relaxation, as well as working from the road. Ceiling fans keep the air moving for a cool breeze as you sleep.
Outside in the inner courtyard is a nice, spacious pool and a putting green. A nicely sized dining area is available for breakfast.
I can think of nothing negative to say about this location. Whatever the purpose of your stay, you will enjoy your time.

Absolutely a 5 star, especially when compared to area hotels. You’ll find the staff genuinely caring and compassionate makes you want to keep coming back. Easy to get in and out of and a lot of food venues at the exit south of this location. Yuval at the front desk was amazing.

It started out poorly enough.. with the front desk staff on the morning of our departure from Denver noting that they were «sold out» so they wouldn’t be able to setup a crib or get my pillows.. .foam.. .
What does sold out mean? I had booked months in advance and past the window for cancellations.. .
regardless my wife called when we landed and they «promised» to do so. Well promises here only go so far. So when we arrive at midnight no foam pillows, they did manage to get a crib in the room but it wasn’t assembled and was missing bed sheets.
They had offered extra towels, and didn’t deliver
there was NO luggage dollys, so we had to move everything up to our room and two toddlers at midnight
the breakfast was horrible. It is like they attempted to cook something themselves and failed. The «corn beef hash» looked like dog food.
We were told the pool was «too cold to use» (so much for booking a hotel with a pool for the little guys)
A lot of hotels were sold out.. .yet I regreted every minute here. I really wish I would of booked our return visit hotel…which was a Hampton Inn on Sterling road. It was a LOT better experience.. .

The front desk staff were very welcoming and friendly. We were coming in very late from our flight from Edmonton to Fort Lauderdale. They quickly got us settled and off to the room. It was a suite with a full kitchen with dinner table and chairs, stove, fridge, sink, and even a garbage disposal. Not that we needed any of those things, but it was nice to have the necessary amenities should we have chosen to stay longer.
The room had a king size bed and pull out couch, desk, large screen television and a nice large bathroom. I liked that in our room the shower and toilet were separated from the sink and mirror. Made it much easier to share the room with multiple people.
The air conditioning was great to help kill the Florida humidity.
Free breakfast was great. Biscuits and gravy, corn beef hash, plus the usual cereals and baked goods. There was so much to choose from and plenty of seating. There were many people who even took their breakfast and sat by the pool.
For long stay guests there are barbecues for use. Even had a little bit of putting green.
I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

This was not the best of experiences. Front Desk not pleasant. The floor plan poorly laid out and confusing.
Only 4 luggage carts for the whole hotel never saw 1. Glad to be checking out.
Guest were friendly, but then again everyone was from out of town.

Staff at this Homewood were friendly and get their jobs done right. It was a refreshing change to head out around 9am, run a few errands and come back to the hotel at 11:30 to find your room had already been made up. This happened every single day while I stayed at this location. I also appreciated that since I tend to sleep with only one pillow the housekeeping staff didn’t simply stack up all the pillows on the bed every day only to have me toss them off the bed before I hit the sack. The maid simply stacked the extra pillows in the corner of the room so getting the bed ready for sleep did not need to involve a major pillow toss.
I would have liked to see more variety in the breakfasts in the morning. Three out of five mornings they had those nasty «cheese» omelets, the ones that seem to have a slab of velveeta inside. That is the nastiest «cheese» on earth. When they had scrambled eggs they were a great improvement over the omelets.
The evening meals were all pretty basic school lunch type meals. If you are looking to save a few pennies on dining out the evening offerings largely would suffice. There are quite a few good spots to dine out within a short drive from the hotel. The wine and beer offerings during the Monday thru Thursday meals were nice.
Internet speeds were decent during my entire stay.
Highly recommend this location, especially if you want to be close to the airport (without a ton of airport noise) or close to the cruise port.

Was comped two nights here (~$ 325 value) as compensation for having my Spirit Airlines flight canceled. Hourly shuttle to the airport (or on request if not particularly busy) makes hitting the airport on time a non issue.
Continental breakfast offered but not explored as I slept in — great rooms with a kitchenette (no stove AFAIK but I think a micro was in there) a nice big bathroom with walk-​in shower, etc.
Nice sized, clean pool and a two-​computer room with free access to internet/​printer.
TL;DR: Had everything a hotel should have with a big fucking bow wrapped around it — if you can afford it and need to catch a plane — stay here…
