Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Marina Hotel

The location was convenient and close to restaurants and beach. The lobby was nice, open and airy. The pool had debris in it, leaves at the bottom. The jacuzzi had a green tone and low on water. Appeared unclean; lacked chlorine and young children were in there without supervision of their parents and staff said nothing. The biggest problem for me was that on our last night there, we came back to the room after all day at the beach, tired and sweaty, and our key did not work. We tried several times with both keys. I went down to the desk and the woman there (cannot remember her name), said she reset it and told me there is a phone at the elevator upstairs to call from next time. Well, I went back to the room and it still didn't work. So I called from upstairs hall and she said she would send maintenance. So we waited for maintenance. He came and couldn't fix it right then, because it needed a battery. So we were displaced form our room for about 45 min. Went to sit out at the pool until it was fixed. Again, frustratingly, another child in the jacuzzi. And the parking was too expensive! All in all, just an average stay.

Stayed a night after a cruise. Great spot for a young family. Very clean and comfortable and the kids loved the pool.

Hotel is close to the Cruise port and easy access. Nice junior suite room large with sofa. Currently no room service but you can order and pick up at the restaurant or lounge. The restaurant buffet breakfast was good. Staff never nice and helpful.

A great stay. Renaissance is first class. Staff friendly, clean rooms, restaurants nearby and Broward convention center is right across the street! Would highly recommend for business or family stay.

The staff was very friendly, attentive and seemed to go out of their way to make us feel at home. The manager (Chris) was especially helpful and checked in with us to ensure our needs were being met. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this hotel to friends & family.

I would not hestitate to stay at this hotel or recommend it. We were a group of 10 people staying here before our cruise. The service was phenominal (from the bellman to front desk to food service staff) and the food at the hotel was fabulous (from grilled cheeses for the kids, to a fresh strawberry/feta salad etc). The hotel has a great pool and hot tub with full food and bar service.

Very nice hotel -- we were told had recently been thoroughly renovated. So close to Port Everglades that could see Royal Princess and Emerald Princess from the windows. Nice room -- shuttle service to Port Everglades was available at $6/head. We ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast (a party of 7 with a couple of young kids) -- good food; great wait staff. Close to the airport ($15 cab fare).

Very average, check in was very late, no rooms available even we had already paid the rooms, it is a hotel just to stay one night not for vacation or family trip
