Guest Reviews
- 86tracyb (8/5): Great place, value for money. - A great place, well located near beach and eateries, decent value, but a few points... This is run by remote management team, only the (excellent, friendly) housekeeping and maintenance staff are on site. We booked via airbnb, and the management team were very friendly and responsive by airbnb messaging. Excellent location and value for money attracts lots of younger guests (spring break period when we visited). Most are great, but a selfish minority can make a lot of noise late at night, or play loud music round the pool. The management take this seriously and try to discourage it, but with no-one on site, particularly at night, the loud and selfish largely get away with it. Talking of noise, the aircon, extractor fan and fridge in our unit were all pretty noisy, particularly at night. Thankfully we visited in March, I imagine this would be a greater problem in hotter weather. Surprisingly, the kitchette area has no utensils/mugs/plates etc. What you see in the photos is what you get. The drawers are all empty. Large and comfortable bed, very welcome. Other than that, a wonderful place - two lovely pools, a generally relaxed and friendly vibe, great location, good value for money, maintenance and cleanliness all good.
- Q4365WDmicheleh (8/5): Some greatly needed R&R! - The location was the best! One block from the ocean. Easy to get to the restaurants without being right in the middle of them. We visit every year and love this particular area. The beds were comfy. Place was clean and AC worked great. The pools were refreshing and clean as well. It is a bit of a younger crowd still for the Spring Break months. It wasn’t terrible though. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves.
- jaygatsby27 (6/5): Not ready to check-in guests - This is not a hotel, that is the first thing you should be aware of. This is an Air BNB style property with a number of rooms. The rooms themselves are in good shape and the deluxe room we stayed in was very nice. The A/C was loud and didn't work particularly well in February so I would hate to visit in the summer. The kitchenette is very handy and the full size refrigerator was nice. My major issues with this hotel are two things: the information on the hotel listings is incorrect and deceiving. They say they have two pools and I could only find one, for example. They say they have a 24-hour front desk when in fact there is only a "host" there from 9-4 and even then it was hard to find someone. Second, the communication they provide is pretty pathetic. When I arrived after 4pm on my first day at the hotel there was no one to check me in (there is no indication of this on any listings on any website including their main website) so i couldn't check in to my room. Why didn't I call the main number or the after hours number or the corporate number? I did and they all had full mailboxes and no one answered. Pretty great customer service, wouldn't you say? This is the first place i have ever stayed where i have to pay for another hotel room so that I could check in to the first hotel room. This just seems like a very bare bones operation that doesn't do the bare minimum and I was very disappointed.
- Francesco (10/5): - Second tine at this hotel. Im happy both tines.
- Leander (6/5): - Our trip was a decent experience overall, but we did encounter a bit of a frustrating situation. While the accommodations were fine and the amenities were enjoyable, we were unexpectedly questioned by management regarding the number of people in the pool. We had made three separate reservations, each with a designated number of guests, and assumed that this clearly indicated our total party size. However, it seemed that there was some confusion or perhaps even suspicion about our arrangements. It was a bit of a bother to have to explain ourselves and provide proof of our reservations, especially given that we were following the correct procedures. While the issue was eventually resolved, it left a slightly negative impression on what was otherwise a pleasant stay.
- Sandra (8/5): - Good
- Robin (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay here. The staff are very friendly and they go above and beyond to help with any needs you may have. The 2 pools are very nice. The rooms are very clean and updated. I would highly recommend this hotel.
- Areesha (6/5): - The hotel is actually set up as a motel. The property was clean and the office staff were friendly. The location was just a short walk to the beach and I appreciated them providing chairs, towels and umbrellas. My only complaint is that the rooms weren’t updated. The water did not run clear and the bathroom smelled a bit musty.
- Okibee (8/5): All good except A/Cs - I appreciated the free beach umbrellas, chairs and towels. Overall, everything was good with one exception - the old school LOUD window A/C. It would be great if they switched them to the modern quiet wall ones. Impossible to sleep without ear plugs otherwise.
- U8834SNalexandran (10/5): Just what I wanted - Customer service was wonderful. Location and price couldn’t be beat. Loved the ability to borrow beach chairs and towels from front desk. I personally appreciate when places only do housekeeping upon request so I enjoyed my stay here. Extra towels, toilet paper, hair dryer and iron were in a drawer. Mini fridge, microwave, keurig, tv, etc. Everything I’d need.
- vanessa (6/5): - The place was nice, but they’re really picky about how many people are in the rooms and who you bring But other than that, it was great
- P7155WEvictoriaw (10/5): Fl 2024 - Nice, quiet, relaxing, clean. It was the perfect location. Minutes from the beach, restaurants and fun! Hotel provided towels, chairs and umbrellas! Size of the room was huge. Fit my family perfectly. We will be staying in the future!!!!!
- Katherine (10/5): - Great value for the cost: the hotel does all the basics really well. The staff were very kind and lovely people. We appreciated the beach chairs and appreciated fresh towels everyday. The water pressure on the shower was strong. There was a quiet lounge to get work done. Location was close to the beach and restaurants.
- MEBANE (8/5): Cute for a solo trip - I ended up staying here because of the discounted rate thru hotels.com. This was my first time staying at a boutique hotel. But, It was a solo trip so the facilities and amenities were perfect for me. The beach and restaurants are a short walk away. I would definitely consider staying here again.
- O2447EHjohnl (10/5): Clean & Friendly Hotel - The Fortuna was great. Everybody we dealt with was super friendly + they are very focused on keeping the hotel incredibly neat and clean. The pool was clean, quiet and relaxing but when we wanted some party atmosphere, we were just a couple blocks from the beach and close to restaurants, bars, etc. We do plan to stay there again. Thanks Ilona!
- Ryan (8/5): - Retro style motel vibe is exactly what we were looking for. Rooms were nice, pool courtyard was lovely. Super close to bakeries, shops, restaurants and beach. Bathrooms in rooms could use some love.
- W2408LHandreag (4/5): Not great. - The room was very small, making the beds hard to access. The property allows dogs and the dog next to us started crying at 8am til 9pm one day, started again the next day too. It weed and pooped all over the floor in the room as it was left alone so long. Two reports to office and nothing changed. Was glad to check out and will NOT be rebooking on our way back thru fort Lauderdale.
- Michele (10/5): - Very nice. Warm and welcoming. Easy access to beach!
- Vincent (8/5): - Shower never got hot and pressure was to much
- Efren (4/5): - Front desk lady was very nice. But Unfortunately we found a big cockroach in our room and had to get switched our last night. A/C isnt the best and had to leave some clothes behind because of the situation. Very dissappointed
- Andreas (4/5): - Typical low cost option. Very poorly insulated, very noisy, minimal wage cleaning crew is obvious with trace hairs prevalent throughout, especially in the bathroom. Cheap pillows and not covered correctly with pillow cases. Very loud window AC unit. Staff service/logic very poor. I asked for a late checkout (one extra hour) on a Sunday when it was obvious the hotel was nowhere near fully occupied, and they clearly have a canned statement “no late checkouts, no matter what”.. not that I would ever return to this hotel anyway but that’s the sort of attitude that guarantees no return business. I suspect this is owned by Russians, so that would explain a lot.. Find another place to stay.
- tamarawD9368OO (10/5): Very Nice!! 5 stars - The place was clean, room was clean, bed was comfortable, we asked for more pillows and they gave us some, whenever we requested something the staff was right there accommodating us, the staff were very friendly and very accommodating, this place is in a great location, a quick walk to the beach and restaurants and shopping if needed. There are 2 pools and both very refreshing. We would certainly stay here again but next time we want to try their Elita hotel which is next store, the Gzella collection. Thank you !
- Dylan (10/5): 3 STAR HOTEL NEAR BEACH - This is a perfect boutique motel/hotel with (2) small pools that had a bin full of floats for the kids. Its right next to the W hotel which has some great restaurants within 3 minute walk. The room was spacious with (2) seperate rooms with a Queen Bed in each. The shower/bathroom was in smaller side. It had a mini fridge and microwave plus a wine opener if you buy wine. Keep in mind, this is a solid 3 Star Hotel - put those 5 star hotel expecations to the side. The front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room was very clean and the area seem to be quiet. We did not spend much time inside the room as we were at the beach, pool or eating on the beach. This was a perfect location and ideal if you just need a relaxing place to sleep. I would stay here again for our next trip to Fort Lauderdale Beach.
- 824joeyw (8/5): Good stay near the beach - My girlfriend and I had a pleasant stay in this hotel. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. We especially enjoyed the location, because the beach and the boulevard were only a 2-3 minute walk. The neighborhood was safe too, with upscale hotels such as the W around the corner.
- 154maryses (10/5): Best mother and daughter vacation - The location is 2 minutes walk to the beach! The team is very nice and efficient. All the facilities are good and clean. The swimming pool and garden were exceptional points we had breakfast and chilling time every day of our stay. We had an exceptional vacation time, we are sure we will return! Thank you Fortuna you made a memorable trip!
- Tara (10/5): - Affordable, great location. Within a mile walking distance of all great restaurants and bars. Short walk to the beach. Hotel isn’t part of chair rentals on the beach but you can rent through other hotels. Pool area is peaceful and not busy. Had a room that was basically an apartment and it was great .. not upscale but clean and updated.
- Laurel (8/5): - This property is structured like a motel. The location is great. It’s a hop, skip, and a jump to the beach. There are numerous restaurants within walking distance. Both pools were clean and nice places to relax after a long day of fun in the sun. I would stay here again. The property does show signs of wear and tear, but it does not look run down.
- Coachlanzo (10/5): Nice small hotel - "Impeccable service, cozy rooms, and delicious coffee. Attentive staff, clean facilities, and convenient location (3 mins walk from the beach, 5 mins from the closest Starbucks and restaurants.
- Melanie (10/5): - Excellent!
- Vfrphil (10/5): Great location and pay to park. - We had a lovely stay at this hotel. 5 minutes from the beach. Car parking on site ($10 a day plus sales tax, which is reasonable). Room had a a King Size bed and plenty of room. No room service during our short stay, which we knew about. Who needs new towels and new bed sheets every day. We just needed to obtain extra coffee pods and coffee mate each day. The room only had 1 chair, so we borrowed an extra one from the pool area.
- Tom (10/5): - Good spot stay here lots
- craig (10/5): - Very easy walk to the beach. Front desk super nice nice safe place to stay
- Nakis (8/5): - Great location close to the beach. Rooms are a bit small but expected for the price. Room right beside pool which was refreshing. If you want a place close to the beach and want affordable pricing, this is a good spot
- mattaI1450JM (10/5): Beach side paradise - We had a delightful week at Fortuna. The two bedroom apartment was perfect for a family of 5 (you could easily accommodate 3 couples in this unit). Just a two minute walk to the beach allowed us to spend as much time as we wanted by the water. The complimentary beach chairs, towels and umbrellas made our beach time even more enjoyable. We found many excellent restaurants and shops within walking distance. There is a lovely pool area shaded by coconut palms. The employees were all very friendly and helpful. Definitely the best beach value you will find in Ft. Lauderdale.
- Savannah (10/5): - Really quaint beach style motel with nice rooms and a private pool. Front desk staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. Room was clean and perfect for what we needed for a reasonable price, and a 5 minute walk to the beach and shopping! Definitely consider this property if you’re looking for a no fuss, reasonably priced stay near the water.
- jillian (4/5): - Ac wasn’t as cool as it should be.Bathroom tub drain wasn’t working.
- Miodrag (10/5): - First time staying here for a mini vacation and it was great. Rooms are adorable and the staff is great. We walked 2 mins to beach and all the restaurants are one block away.
- Robert (10/5): Great trip to Ft Lauderdale - The location is perfect walk to beach and the 2 pools are very nice the pricing is great I will be back it’s a new favorite in Ft. Lauderdale staff is very friendly & helpful
- bethhW430ZP (10/5): 2 blocks from beach! - Solid hotel. Not super fancy but had everything we needed and was 2 blocks from the beach. Happy to have found it and to have stayed there. The staff was helpful and kind and the surrounding area had lots of options for dining both casual and fancy.
- Hayley (2/5): Disappointing, overpriced motel - We booked a two bedroom for a weekend. there was supposed to be a living room with a seating area, but there was not. There was one bedroom with two beds and then the “second bedroom” was the main living room with a large bed in it so no privacy at all. The floors were disgusting, our feet were black from walking around. No hot water, very few outlets and lighting and then outlets didn’t work. A very weird sweet musty smell. Very outdated unit with rust and cracking everywhere. Would not stay again.
- Suzy (8/5): - Ilona and Nicole were super! Friendly, attentive and just all around great hosts. The property is a bit older than I expected and than it shows in the photos, but the staff, location and the perfect weather we had - made this a great stay-cation!!
- Cindysalazarlaw (10/5): Excellent - Truly a gem. Try it and you’ll love it. Was amazing. Location is perfect. We stayed in two bedroom suite and was spacious and clean. Towels everyday. There was no loud noises despite the Tortuga festival being just down the street. We got a good nights rest every night. Would definitely recommend and come again.
- E Elizabeth (10/5): - The hotel was close to many amenities. The pools were great, using the beach towels and chairs was perfect! Will definitely stay here again.
- Mary (10/5): - I feel like giving 5 stars to each category minimizes the ratings but there was not one thing not excellent about any of my stay! Absolutely adorable small hotel in a great location. Beach is not even a 3 minute walk, grounds and pools were immaculate and beautiful. Staff was outstanding- kind and helpful and beautiful smiles!!! Towels. Chairs....everything we needed for our girls trip. I cannot wait to come back!!! Love this gem!
- Nancy (10/5): - Very cozy...like the motel vibe
- Stephen (10/5): - Awesome staff. More friendly and attentive than the big hotels!
- anthony (2/5): - They hat No hot water
- Thomas (6/5): - Close to the beach Staff was very good Heated pool didn’t feel like it was
- H9864JNnicoleb (4/5): I would not book here again - The bathroom was horrible and not the same as the pictures in the gallery on their desktop website. After checking in, I realized there are different sets of pictures on the desktop website versus the mobile version. This was extremely upsetting because my deciding factor for booking at this hotel over one other was the spacious bathroom and counter space I thought we would have. There also aren't any bathroom shelves to store items. The shower is extremely small (I'm 5"2' 145 lbs and still felt cramped) and there's very little bathroom space to move around. You literally cannot sit on the toilet without your knee touching the toilet paper roll. Additionally, the window unit in the bedroom is right next to the bed. So at night, I woke up several times to a blast of cold air or the noise of the unit turning on. The room is a good size but was too small to reposition the bed away from the window unit. It was extremely overpriced for what was/wasn't offered. I would have rather spent a little more money to book at a hotel chain. The front desk staff did try to accommodate my request for a unit with a better bathroom, however, they were completely booked and apologized for it. I really appreciate the staff's effort to try and fulfill the request.
- Simina (8/5): - We are a family of 4 with 2 boys ages 12 & 13. Great location- walking distance to the beach and they had beach towels and chairs and umbrellas to check out for free. It was very clean and was spacious (king bed in main room and 2 queens in other room). The kitchen is tiny but perfect for the short time we stayed. This unit was actually 2 units combined so there were 2 bathrooms- although you couldn’t use one of the showers because the curtain didn’t stay down and water went everywhere. One negative was the noise level… the AC units are VERY noisy and I could hear them through ear plugs… so if you travel during the very warm months, be prepared for noisy AC. Also you can hear people when passing by your unit - it’s pretty loud. Ear plugs help. Otherwise it has its own pool, outdoor shower, pool toys, the other people staying there were very nice - not the crazy spring break crowd we expected. Staff was fantastic and very helpful. We would stay there again!
- Jennifer (8/5): - This is an older hotel amongst high rise luxury apartments and hotels. If you aren't looking for pristine and fancy, this place is perfect. I hopefully never have to go to Fort Lauderdale again, but if I did, I would purposely seek out this location.
- mycherieblueberry (10/5): Our good experience at FLL - Absolutly beautiful, Space room, clean. Very closed to the beach and restaurants / bars. We really enjoyed our stay. Easy to go outside and walking around to see the view from the bridge, Easy to go by car to differents places (shopping centre, flamingo gardens...)
- Michele (6/5): - The hotel was fine, A/C had a hard time keeping up and never ever turned off. Bathroom was hot, no A/C. Kitchenette was very nice, Beach Chairs were aweful. Would have been nice if floors were swept quick each morning. They get dirty easily and nothing to clean with.
- Glenn (6/5): - efficient but loud
- Glory (10/5): Great location! - Great location for the price. Close to a starbucks, the beach, restaurants. Everything walkable. No view and not directly on the beach but for the price it was great because the location is walk-able.
- Kristie L. (10/5): - We had a wonderful time at this property, just a block or 2 from the beach. It was quiet, even with some of the spring break kids, they were respectable and we had fun talking with them. The beach towels, chairs and umbrellas were an awesome perk to take to the beach. This trip was 2 couples taking a long weekend getaway. The only improvement I would recommend is larger trash cans in the room.
- JaNaye (6/5): - The room was clean. The pool was clean. I was frustrated that the internet wasn't consistent and I wasn't able to work when I was planning to be able to work. And the television kept freezing during shows. But overall it was a decent place for the price and provided you didn't need Wi-Fi or want to watch TV it was great.
- loucab711 (10/5): 3rd time is an absolute charm!!! - 3rd time is an absolute charm!!! love staying at the Fortuna. A big shout out to Ilona and her team for the stellar service they provide. This is a limited service hotel but the team is always attentive to your needs. Thank you for a great stay! see you soon!
- Brooke (8/5): - Very nice area and clean facilities. Make sure to request cleaning services because they do not do it without request. Clean towels every morning, and great pool area. Very close to the beach and overall great stay.
- Rachel (8/5): - This hotel was older and not the most updated but was walking distance to the beach and restaurants and that is what we wanted for the night.
- saskgreenandwhite (4/5): Probably wont be back - Check-in was 4pm we had to wait outside to 5pm so right off the start was not impressed.The girl at the desk was very friendly and apologetic. There was hair in the shower that wasnt from us and the room was fairly clean but they need to spend some money and do some maintenance properly not as cheap as they can get it done.
- Gary (4/5): - Nicely located to the beach and easy to get to.
- Simon (6/5): - Pool was right outside my door
- Zac (10/5): - stayed here for spring break staff was awesome and accommodating
- Kaydee (10/5): - It was clean, staff was on site, great location
- James (10/5): - Staff was friendly. The property is located a short walk from the beach, restaurants & public transportation.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Pros and cons - I will start from pros: This hotel is located very close to the beach. Staff was very friendly. Beach towels and chairs were provided free of charge. Clean and the price was very reasonable. Cons: Some of the rooms have very old windows. We could hear everything outside. It was like having an open window all the time. I have approched front desk to check the windows in my room to ensure they were properly closed but I think that these are old windows. As a result, bad sleep for 2 nights in a row. Hope management will fix and replace windows where needed.
- cesar (8/5): - Me gustó el lugar, buen ambiente y muy conveniente para caminar a la playa me encantó que te prestan sombrillas y sillas para la playa lo único malo fue que no tienen baños fuera de tu cuarto si llegas antes o ocupas utilizar el baño e antes que esté listo tu cuarto no ahí donde ir, pero fuera de eso el servicio estuvo genial I would recommended
- Tina (8/5): - It was great it was so close to the beach ,shops and restaurants.It was clean, but needs some upgrades. For the price, it was a good place. Front desk staff was great. I would stay there again
- Alexandra (10/5): - Stayed here for three days, and really happy about that choice. The staff is welcoming and nice, the room is clean. Great location, a few steps to the beach and good place to eat. Recommended👍
- Yoram (2/5): - I had a bad experience at this Fortuna Hotel in Fort Lauderdale I booked a Room and when I Arrived in the hotel at 3PM they told me to come back at 4PM and when I came back they told me the the room is not available and I had to wait for another hour The room had a small 2 Beds and not by standard s The shower was likings and without any water pressure The hotel was very noisy with many spring breakers and I couldn’t sleep so I left at 1AM since it was not anyone at the lobby to talk to Poor customer service
- Lisa (6/5): - The location was excellent. The room had a kitchenette with no plates, not enough utensils for the three of us, no toaster and one spatula. There were burn holes in the couch. The kitchen appears new but the bathroom hasn't been renovated in decades. The windows were locked shut and no fan for the shower so it became so humid. I do not regret staying here but I will try another place nearby next time.
- Sally (8/5): - Walking distance to the beach, shopping and restaurants , 1 block. The outside of hotel seems old and run down, but inside the rooms seem updated and nice. Would stay there again
- Kate (8/5): - Cute little place. Nothing fancy but fit the bill for a one night stay. Very close to the beach and restaurants. Room and pool area clean and tidy. Good little place for those in a budget

- Verified traveler (8/5): - The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was small, the blinds did not close properly and the bathroom was very very tiny.
- Veronika (2/5): - Wasn’t the same as picoshown. Standing AC unit on chair blo ing directly at beds!! Small and dingy
- Lorne (6/5): - It is an old Motel. The location was good, It was relatively close to the beach and a bit of walk to a wide variety of restaurants and pubs. The street is a little noisy depending on what room you have. It was close to get access to the water taxi and relatively close to the cruise port terminals.
- Cheryl (8/5): - Loved this Motel. Amazing location to beach, 3 min walk. Lots of parking. Chairs and towels available at the front desk. The room was clean and spacious. My only complaint was how noisy the air conditioner was.
- Jordan (10/5): Just what we needed - My friend and I were looking for an affordable hotel close to the beach for our weekend trip. This place delivered! Thoughtful touches like in room coffee and frequent towel replacements were appreciated. Thanks!
- LINDSAY (10/5): - Great location and customer service!
- paige (6/5): - I called the property before i booked a room because of the tike our flight got in. The lady that was working the night shift said to book for the day our flight got in and to call for an early check in. Thats what i did and was told something else. I used a different site to book a room for an extra night but they still gave away our room. My family was stranded until 5 am when a different hotel booked us a room. Most of the staff was rude and there was no housekeeping.
- daniel (8/5): - Great location to the beach nice pool
- Hermelinda (10/5): - Everybody was very accommodating and everything went super well. The only thing is, is those little plug-in smelly things in the room it’s for everyone. The front desk was absolutely amazing very courteous, kind, respectful, and Jennifer the housekeeper was outstanding in her service.
- Tracy (6/5): - Needs updating
- Joe (8/5): - Good clean property . Close to beach. Very friendly staff. It is a heritage hotel, good value for a family.
- jayne (10/5): amazing getaway spot - Wonderful stay! The staff was absolutely the best--friendly, helpful, kind, professional. They were over the top! The hotel was clean, quiet and very quaint. It was also convenient for walking to the beach or restaurants/shops. I will definitely be back. We loved our stay!!
- Sarah (8/5): - This hotel is in a great location and the bed was very comfy. Definitely bare bones with not many amenities (no housekeeping cleaning due to a COVID policy, no irons, no food onsite or phones to front desk). We were comfortable though and for the price, would stay again.
- William (8/5): - Location
- Giana (10/5): - Staff was very friendly and helpful
- Valerie (8/5): - Great location! Awesome staff! The rooms look a little bit like the pictures on the Internet, that was a little bit disappointing and definitely updating needs to be done. But the beds are super comfortable. The pool was very nice and clean and walk to the beach was like two minutes.
- Brenda (6/5): - This place is old , rooms are very small. It’s a $50 a night hotel that costs 225.00. Would not come back.

- Karine (6/5): Motel more than hotel - good location, good bed/mattress, but old bathroom with rusted pipes. Only 2 plugs to charge anything. Very humid inside the room. It's a motel more than a hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. A block from the beach and restaurants.
