Courtyard by Marriott Fort Lauderdale East/Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

My husband and stayed here for 3 three days before a cruise. Ideal location with a courtesy shuttle that will take you anywhere in a 3 mile radius. Rooms are spacious and clean. The pool area was very nice with a hot tub. Lovely front lobby and lounge area. Our only grip was the housekeeping. One day we were going to the pool and told the housekeeper that we would be out to the room which would be a perfect opportunity for her to clean it. Four hours later it was not done. When it came time to check out housekeeping knocked on the door twice an hour before check out (which is 12:00PM). We informed management as we checked out and they were very apologetic. We spoke directly to Nathalie who actually credited our account. We were totally shocked by this since it was not our objective. We just wanted to make sure they were aware of the incident. We also got a wonderful email from Nathalie's boss Mary Apple. Because of their attention we would definitely come back again to stay.

Typical Courtyard. Nice helpful staff. Clean rooms. Good pool area. Short hours for cafe but reasonable food choices. Often a better choice to ride share than wait for hotel van.

Very clean. Awesome service. The pool wasn't at full service but the hotel is close to the beach. Over though a very good experience.

Absolutely great! It's in the middle of all the fun. There's restaurants and bars within minutes, plus a 24/7 CVS, a Bank of America, and next to a Denny's. It's like 10 minutes from the gay scene of Wilton Manors and 10 minutes from the beach. My trip was too short as I didn't think I'd like Fort Lauderdale but now I'm anxious to come back.
