The staff was great. My flight arrived at 8:00 am and I requested for an early check-in.
The room was exactly what I had booked, room with waterview. We were literally feet away from the Marina.

We only stayed here for one night as we were going on a cruise the next day! I would say all the staff was super helpful! We ate outside by the pool and it was great ! Lots of good stores / restaurants by the hotel and easy to get too! We took the road right by the hotel to the port ! As a matter of fact our cars navigation system said you have arrived ( at the port) when we left the hotel, that’s how close it was l!

Stayed overnight to board a cruise the next morning. Upon arrival, the lobby was very busy with cruisers/convention go-ers but the staff handled it all quickly and efficiently. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The room had a wonderful view of the harbor! It was relaxing to just chill on the balcony and watch the boats go by. One thing to note is that the bathroom doors are on a rail system. The doors do not properly seal so there's a large gap all around the doors. Make sure to bring some Poopouri to spare anyone else in the room with you. I would skip the in-hotel breakfast and find somewhere else local to try. Over $30 a person for the buffet breakfast was just not justifiable in my opinion but if you're looking for convenience, then by all means.

Toiletries smells fantastic otherwise will be coming back in the next vacation cruise.

As a professional travel agent, I always look for properties that I can confidently recommend to my clients. Unfortunately, after my recent stay here, I cannot add this property to that list. My experience was highly disappointing due to systemic issues with room readiness, cleanliness, and basic maintenance.
The \"Upgrade\" Illusion
Upon arrival, my original room was not ready. To accommodate the delay, the front desk placed me in what they explicitly stated was an \"upgrade.\" It was anything but. Not only did the room layout fail to match an upgraded tier, but the view was significantly worse than the room type I had originally booked and paid for.
Room Condition & Hygiene Concerns
The structural and cleanliness issues in room 904 were immediately apparent:
Housekeeping Oversight: The most egregious issue was discovering another guest's hair on the toilet—a clear indication that the bathroom had not been thoroughly sanitized.
Odor and Stains: The room had a heavy, mildew odor; the carpet was visibly stained in several places. Common Maintenance Issues:
The maintenance issues extended into the hallway. The carpet directly in front of the 9th-floor ice machine was completely saturated with water. Walking over it literally felt like stepping on a wet sponge. Leaving standing water or soaked carpeting unaddressed is a major slip hazard and a breeding ground for the very mildew odor present in the rooms.
The Verdict
I cannot recommend this property.

They sent my self and my three kids to olive at 3pm for lunch. When clearly they only have an extremely limited happy hour menu.
Next time we will choose a different hotel. On top of that, $35 for resort fee… resort ? I would consider it close to a Hampton inn or something like that.

Bulldoze it. There are various rooms with serious structural issues; i.e. collapsing concrete. The main building is a newer structure, however, it is surrounded by other buildings which are completely rundown with structural failure. We paid over $300 for our one night stay, never again.

Let me start way over priced 200 dollars for 12 wings and a quarter of chicken. Our room was not what e expected there was now microwave and they did not service the room I stayed 6 days I expected more better service. Went to front desk and complained and they said they would get right on it. The floor said they do not service the rooms since Covid. Had to ask for a refrigerator that worked for my diabetes medication. The ac would only cool down to 72 degrees. It was a heat index out of 105. I asked for clean towels everyday and got none. I went in town to wash the towels we had. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone the worst I have ever had

I actually made many deliveries to this hotel and was finally able to stay there for an evening for my birthday to enjoy. I did not get a chance to use the pool but it looked great and relaxing. My only thing that I did not bring up to the front desk was the a/c did not blow cold air as I had hoped so it was warm in the evening but still an amazing one night stay.

The room was nice and comfortable. The only problem was other guests were loud slamming room and balcony doors and kids running around late at night. The breakfast buffet price PP at $33 is not worth it unless you eat a lot. They should have it for less. The view of the area was beautiful. Be prepared to pay $150 for 4 if you’re traveling to Miami port cruise. Uber is better 😎

I got the king tower room, I really loved the room and the view was really nice and relaxing from the balcony, the shower was nice and had the perfect water pressure, my room was clean and very comfortable. I was able to use my yoga mat to do some Pilates while I worked and the gym was open with good equipment 24/7 so I liked that I was able to get a workout in late the pool was clean along with the added bonus of walking around the grounds outside by the piers, the restaurant olive & sea had great stuff along with allergen accommodation for anything on the menus if your vegan or gluten free. Beautiful view very nice aesthetic for a date night or girls trip, overall I had a nice stay an it met all my needs as far as food, fitness, comfort and relaxation along with great areas to get some work done! Very close to good restaurants close to the beach by a small bridge or water taxi. Hotel staff were honestly really great and the hotel was very clean, safe and had really nice vibes honestly only negative would be the parking gate system

The Hotel was good but what they charge for parking and resort fees it’s overpriced. I ended up paying 104.00 more dollars in fees only for parking and resort fee for 1 night which is very disappointing that you go to a hotel and they don’t offer free or at least a fear price for parking.

Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at the Hilton Marina in Fort Lauderdale. The employees were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed. Their customer service made a great impression and helped make our stay enjoyable.

The room was very clean, modern, and comfortable, which I greatly appreciated. The location was also convenient and made it easy to get around the area.

The only reason I’m not giving a perfect rating is that I feel the property could benefit from some updates, particularly around the pool area. Improved landscaping and a few cosmetic upgrades would enhance the overall appearance and atmosphere of the hotel.

That being said, I had a positive experience overall and would definitely consider staying here again in the future.

I booked and fully prepaid for a Tower Ocean View room well in advance. What I actually got was a second-floor “Parking Lot View” room with a spectacular panorama of parked cars. Apparently, the hotel decided that the room I had already paid for would be better enjoyed by someone else.

Since I arrived late at night, I didn’t have the chance to argue at check-in. More importantly, nobody from the hotel bothered to explain what happened or even acknowledge the downgrade. The reservation was made through a third-party platform, and only later was I told that the hotel was sold out — which somehow justified giving away the room I had already prepaid for. Their “solution” was a complimentary snack package, presented as if I should be deeply grateful for the generosity.

What makes this even more ridiculous is that the snack package was never explained as compensation. I had simply asked if there was a market open in the hotel because, unbelievably, there wasn’t even a basic vending machine available. So the “welcome snack” was framed as hospitality, not as an apology for selling my room to someone else.

In summary: I paid for an ocean view and got upgraded to a parking lot view instead.

If you choose to stay here, I strongly recommend NOT paying in advance — because apparently your reservation is only theoretical until someone else comes along.

This is a tired older hotel. Some efforts are being made to improve it. Our room had a safe that did not operate and was not attached to anything. The sink drain was very slow and no hot water at the sink. A shelf on the wall was coming loose. The TV would come
on by itself during the day and night. The quality of the breakfast buffet was poor for
the resort hotel pricing. The hotel staff was great as was the location. Ok for a one or two night stay before a cruise, but I would not stay longer.

In our room the phone didn't work, the shower head in the bathroom was on so loose that it would have flooded the bathroom if the water was put on and trusted to spray only in the tub unit. The safe wasn't \"safe\" because the handle was bent and left that way.
The restaurant was very far away in another wing of the hotel. It was difficult to get anywhere quickly like meeting a pick up with a bus to a cruise ship. We had to call the service desk using our cell phone to fix the phone so that we could receive a wake up call the next morning. The technician never showed up so my husband fixed it by fixing the misplacement of the receiver cord. We also had to fix the shower ourselves because nobody came to fix it properly. We told the guest services and they said sorry but that was the extent of their caring about the accommodations. Ws will never go back to that hotel.
