Renaissance Fort Lauderdale-Plantation Hotel

Stayed here a few nights while moving my daughter into her dorm. Place is nice, clean and staff is very friendly and helpful. Very close to a business park with a walking/running trail right behind the hotel that goes through the business park. Also close to all kinds of shopping. Only down side is that the wifi doesn't work in the room or much of the hotel itself. I had to sit by the pool anytime I wAnted to use it.

This hotel was decent. It did take two hours after our request (and an additional request) to have down pillows and a down comforter removed from our room. We are allergic to down. This hotel aspires to be a grand hotel but it's really no more than an overpriced comfortable place to stay. it should run about half the price we paid ($160). There is no free wifi and although most room service is overpriced, this was beyond the pale.

We arrived 10 minutes before our 4pm check-in and they advise it would be ready in an hour. We were not happy. I decided to go and sit at the bar While we waited. They gave us a complimentary drink each & then added complimentary breakfast for the next morning. They did a rush on the room and it was ready 25 minutes after our arrival. We had paid a bit more for the better view, instead of the parking lot, we got the ugly rooftop/air conditioner view. Not sure if would have paid more for that view, ever! The room temp was on the warm side even with the thermostat on 68 degrees. It never really cooled down during our whole stay. Made sleeping difficult. We could hear muted voices from the rooms next to us for hours. Luckily, we were staying for only one night. Due to not getting a good night's sleep from the noise & warm room, we skipped breakfast to get more shut eye. The staff at the receptionist desk were very cordial & professional, but the stay was just an okay one.

Loved this hotel.

We checked into this hotel just to get away for one night, but ended up extending to two nights. The hotel was very accommodating.
