Appreciated the no hassle early check-in. Our first room had literally zero view - the windows were all covered to hide the view of the roof outside. This gave the room a jail like atmosphere. Some creative rooftop landscaping could easily address the lack of view. The desk advised all the rooms were like that and it definitely would have influenced our choice to stay here if the listing was transparent about this.The front desk found us a better room and saved the day. $7.00 bottled water? Over priced tap water is everywhere but in a room where the signs in the room warn about the yellow tap water, complimentary distilled water would be a nice touch.Overall a great stay and excellent holiday atmosphere in an awesome location.

There were no grab bars in bath. I fell in tub, cracked my skull & was rushed by ambulance where I got staples & stitches. That was my Christmas night! They offered me no compensation at all. I never even slept in the bed!

Disappointing Check-In Experience on Christmas Eve Night** I recently had the opportunity to stay at one of the more upscale hotels in Fort Lauderdale, excitedly treating myself for the holidays after a challenging time in my personal life. Unfortunately, my experience at check-in was far from what I had hoped for, especially given the resort industry's emphasis on customer service. Upon arrival around 10 PM on Christmas night, I was greeted by a front desk attendant who sadly did not embody the warmth or hospitality one would expect from a luxury establishment. Despite my attempts to engage him with a smile and lighthearted conversation, he remained unresponsive and abrupt, which was disheartening after a long day of travel. His comments were particularly discouraging. For instance, when discussing the hotel amenities, he bluntly informed me of the high price for bottled water without any courtesy or friendliness. I inquired about nearby stores where I could purchase water at a better price, and instead of assistance, I was met with a dismissive attitude. It felt as though I was a burden rather than a valued guest. I understand that working in customer service can be challenging, especially during busy holidays, but a simple smile and a welcoming demeanor go a long way in making guests feel appreciated and comfortable. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling inadequate and frustrated. I think the Grinch that steals Christmas is working at this hotel.
