Residence Inn by Marriott Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal/Il Lugano

The view

The staff was extremely accommodating. They really went out of their way to find us a room when we left the cuisse early in the morning and had no where else to go. My friends stayed at another hotel and had to crash on the lobby couch for 4 hours while I slept like a baby in my room (I had a sofa bed and offered to let them stay, but they insisted it would be ready shortly). Great team!

Stayed here for almost a week in a half, overall wasn’t a bad experience. Just I expected to be closer walking distance to the beach. Which the beach is close but only access is for the resort hotels so technically no access. My room also barely got cleaned while I stayed there for a long period. One cleaning my bed was only folded but the sheets weren’t changed at all- I noticed because I sleep with socks on and they were still in the sheets. Coffee supplies were also not replaced so rushed job. Breakfast wasn’t bad but no variety - the same thing everyday. I usually always stay in hotels for work and I know it’s usually a standard breakfast but usually been in hotels that rotate options. On my last few days, there were also a couple events taking place and this caused a lot of crowds in many of the common areas , lobby , and breakfast dining area. Kids were running around and just bumping into various areas as it seems an event was for a child , while I understand the hotel is kid friendly I was traveling for work and expected more of a quiet environment. I didn’t know the hotel served as an events place as well and that it would interfere with common areas of regular guests.

This is more like a Ritz Carlton than a Residence Inn. The hotel is fabulous. I highly recommend.

Spacious rooms , beautiful balcony and loved the balcony view of the river.

This what right on one of the waterways. Amazing views in the morning and evening. Breakfast was fantastic and eating so close to the water was great. The beds were comfy and the washer and dryer was a godsend.

I really enjoyed my stay here! The only downside was my room was not ready at check in. However, I went to the pool area while I waited and that was lovely. I had dinner at a nearby restaurant that was less than a 10 minute walk. Breakfast in the morning was great just no OJ. These were minor things. If was really nice, the room was clean. I'd recommend it!

Excellent everything

Q

This hotel has all the things I was looking for, close to the airport and shopping destinations, beach across the street and marina to the back the views are perfect from either side. I loved watching the yatchs go by while having breakfast under palm trees. The hotel is very clean and the rooms very spacious. The staff was wonderful. The only down side was sometimes there was only one person at the front desk and he seemed overwhelmed. Other than that I enjoyed my stay and will be back soon.
