This was a pretty decent hotel for the money. The elevator kept breaking and the coffee machine wasn’t working. They also advertised breakfast, but told us that they did not provide it once we checked in. I will say that they didn’t allow us to check in early after getting off of our cruise ship, the staff was amazing and tried very hard to accommodate us. I would stay again.

I had high hopes for this hotel, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. Upon arrival, our first room had a strong musty odor. To the hotel's credit, they moved us to another room without issue.
However, the situation took a much more serious turn when my vehicle was parked directly in front of the hotel lobby and the catalytic converter was stolen. What was most frustrating was the staff's response. Rather than showing concern or taking the matter seriously, they appeared nonchalant and indifferent and quickly assumed that rental insurance would cover the damage.
When I requested that security footage be reviewed, the manager was unwilling to come out and personally address the situation. The lack of urgency, empathy, and accountability was extremely disappointing. As a guest, I expected the hotel to at least make an effort to assist after such a significant incident occurred on their property.
Due to the way the situation was handled, we no longer felt safe staying at the hotel and decided to leave immediately. While the room issue was resolved quickly, the poor customer service and lack of concern regarding the theft completely overshadowed any positive aspects of our stay. I would not recommend this property based on my experience.

Candlewood Suites was the perfect place to stay for what me and my family needed. From the Airport shuttle pickup to the hotel to port drop off that was an extra added bonus. We had a small kitchenette with a refrigerator, dishwasher, dishes, coffee maker, kettle, long table/desk. We had the whole SHABANG! 😂 We loved it. We will definitely be coming back here when we come back to Fort Lauderdale for our big family cruise next year. The only thing I would say that was a little disappointing, was that the Shuttle to port was $40 for me and my son. But we ended up catching an Uber for $10. But hey I understand it’s a business, all that matters was we had a good stay and made it to our cruise the next day. So I definitely would recommend staying here.

No early checkin, had to take my own bags to the holding room which is a room where laundry is done. Had to get my own bags out the holding room once my room was ready and they don't put name tags on your bags. The day of check out the elevator wasnt working so I had to carry my own bags down Four flight of stairs and there was no advance notice. Room and hotel was clean.

This is a Candlewood Suites. It is the low end of the IHG family of hotels. The advantage is that if you have a lot of work to do the desk/kitchen counter stretches most of the room so it is easy to work on a project. This particular location surprises you when you check in as they charge for parking that is not disclosed when you make a reservation via Expedia.

When we booked on the Expedia Website it said a Continental Breakfast was included. However, when we checked-in we were informed that a breakfast was not included and that the Hotel had asked Expedia several times to delete a breakfast from their website. As a result of this mix up we believe that Expedia should refund us some of our payment!

I was very disappointed with my stay. The hotel had a strong mildew odor throughout the hallways, likely due to excessive humidity, and this issue should be addressed immediately. Unfortunately, the smell also lingered inside my room. The humidity was so severe that the towels and bed linens felt damp and moist throughout my stay.

The cleanliness of the room was also unacceptable. The shower was dirty, with layers of soap scum visibly built up on the walls, making it clear that it had not been thoroughly cleaned.

Additionally, I was informed that the airport shuttle operated every 30 minutes; however, I later discovered it only ran once every hour. As a result, I had to pay for a cab to ensure I arrived at the airport in time for my flight.

Considering the price of the hotel, I expected a much better experience. Overall, the accommodations and service were mediocre and did not provide the value advertised.

Everything was perfect until check out. It appears that this hotel charges an extra daily fee to park your 1 car in their hotel parking Lot. I didn't find out until check out. $10.00 per day to park your car in their lot plus tax. When I checked in, they said I didn't owe anything because I paid for everything from Expedia. I did have to leave a $100.00 deposit for the room. That I expected. They said I would get it back after they inspect the room and all is good. I go to check out 3 days later and the front desk gives me a receipt for parking. Meaning they will take it out off my deposit. Which means the listed price should have been 10 dollars more. I had a heated discussion before I left. I also called when I got home. I don't blame Expedia for this. It's the hotel. Just be aware of this ahead of booking. No they didn't give me my money back.

The site was nice and clean, and stocked with snacks. There is no \"real food\" on the premises.

I might recommend it for extended stay.

Never again at this hotel, the hotel itself was nice enough however we had a significant problem with using the shuttle from the airport. When we got after the transportation area, it was pouring down raining. We had to share a small shelter with 30 other people which probably was only keeping eight people at a time drive. We called for about 20 minutes and said we’re wet and we need to shuttle and they said the shuttle just passed by your location and it will be up to 40 minutes until they return because of traffic. Long story short we were there an hour and 45 minutes with eight other guests we called repeatedly and everybody got a different story about traffic or they were just there you must’ve missed him, etc. After we and the other guests were all totally soaked along with our luggage, the shuttle finally showed up marked as a Holiday Inn, but the driver stuck a sign out the window that said Candlewood. I guess we were supposed to know that the candlewood shuttle was really a Holiday Inn shuttle. I really resent the fact that we and others in our party you’re being told different things none of which were true when we called. As far as traffic, there was no traffic. We took the back way to the hotel as I assume they always do and we saw only two cars the whole time. The bottom line is the truth goes a long way and a lie goes further when you’re dealing with people that you’re trying to do business with. There are plenty of other hotels in the area that I value your bus
