Virgin rating

The hotel

Ideally located, the beachfront Courtyard by Marriott Fort Lauderdale is nestled between the rippling expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, and the Intracoastal Waterway. The hotel offers the perfect combination of comfort, convenience and sightseeing opportunities. Soak up some rays as you meander along the 23-mile stretch of golden sand, relax with a refreshing cocktail at the outdoor Pool Bar, or venture out to explore the nearby Las Olas Boulevard. When you get peckish, sit back and enjoy spectacular ocean views as you sample some contemporary American cuisine at The Bistro, or head to Bubba Gump’s Shrimp Co. for tasty seafood served with a generous helping of classic movie fun!

The hotel was in a great location. We requested, and were given, an upper floor room overlooking the ocean. The front desk clerk made a point of saying we were on a renovated floor. It was perfect. Comfy beds, great view, coffee machine in the room, awesome shower. Location is good, across the street from the beach and walking distance to… Read more
The hotel was in a great location. We requested, and were given, an upper floor room overlooking the ocean. The front desk clerk made a point of saying we were on a renovated floor. It was perfect. Comfy beds, great view, coffee machine in the room, awesome shower. Location is good, across the street from the beach and walking distance to lots of restaurants and bars. We arrived at noon, and they offered us a room but we did not like the location so we opted to wait for our preferred room. It was available by 3:00. Our only comment is the luggage storage is outside. It was very busy with the boat show and there were lots of people milling around. We did not feel our luggage was safely being watched. When we returned, even though we had a ticket, the valet didn't carefully watch to see if the tags matched. We could easily have taken another bag besides our own. Courtyard, please find an indoor place for luggage storage. Read less

I had a short stay but it was lovely and perfect. Lena was great checking in and Carlos was wonderful at valet! I would definitely stay here again. Valet was very convenient. I was able to request my vehicle from my phone so that it was ready for me downstairs. The view from my room was gorgeous and having the beach close by was the best.

This hotel was such a disappointment. I realize they are under construction and some things can’t be helped but even the basics were lacking. I’ve never experienced a poorer night’s sleep. The pillows are AWFUL! There is no hotel bar - what hotel at this level doesn’t have a bar? The valet is $52 a night plus tax. The rooms are so old and… Read more
This hotel was such a disappointment. I realize they are under construction and some things can’t be helped but even the basics were lacking. I’ve never experienced a poorer night’s sleep. The pillows are AWFUL! There is no hotel bar - what hotel at this level doesn’t have a bar? The valet is $52 a night plus tax. The rooms are so old and outdated. Do not recommend. Oh and during college football season you couldn’t get ABC to see the number 1 team play. 0/5 stars Read less

No swimming pool, without previous notifications, super expensive overnight parking and we were not advised that it was soooo expensive! Not even a small microwave in the room. No breakfast...At least the valet person (s) were friendly and helpful. (Rodrigo, who helped me find inexpensive areas to eat!)

We had great service, the staff was so sweet. Our valet guy was super nice, Mr. Carlos! And so were the receptionists and cleaning service. Everything was seamless, it does get a little packed in the valet in the morning, I would suggest planning 10-15 minutes in advance just in case there’s more people waiting.
