Good and bad
Sonesta ES Suites Fort Lauderdale PlantationCons: Unfriendly front desk person in the afternoon/evening. Tired/refurbished decor. Rough around the edges. A bit unkept. Only one working elevator. A/C out in the hallways. Loud noisy units brought in and run through rooms. Terrible breakfast options… ick! Noisy halls with a late night crowd coming and going and loitering. Smell of marijuana was strong at times
Pros: Suite with kitchen and bedroom is nice to have. Bed was comfortable. Pool/courtyard area is nice but we didn’t use due to cooler temps. Plenty of areas around the hotel for dog walking. Publix grocery, Dunkin Doughnut, and a nice pizza/Italian restaurant, and others across the street. We would likely look elsewhere if we ever chose to visit the area again.
All outdoor space with dining on picnic benches.
Star Fish CompanySome space under the docks canopy while other spaces are open air on the dock or patio and most with umbrellas. All very rustic…and remember, it’s surrounded by boat docks, and fish markets. Lots of bird wildlife. Great food for such a simple casual eatery. Dogs can be just about anywhere without issue. We enjoy going and always take our Thomas. Cash Only!
Just Gross!
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Lauderdale TamaracDesk staff was awful, couldn’t care less about being professional and offering a proper greeting or welcome; not to us, and certainly not to our little dog. Hotel in general was run down, unkept and in disrepair; dirty, rooms are tiny, and furniture is tired and fabrics all stained and dirty. No closet door, and barely cleaned on the surface much less any attention to details. Limited availability to a couple luggage carts and no Do Not Disturb signs. Housekeeper checked the entire floor of empty rooms to locate one for us and finally found one in something like the 10th-12th room she checked. Sadly, guests were stealing the few available from room to room late in the evening, and ours was also taken. Lots of folks just “hanging out” making the place not seem so safe even though there was a gal with a “Security” shirt on. Stay elsewhere unless finance are most important.
