Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a nightmare with unsavory people engaged in drug and prostitution activities, neglectful staff, and a general feeling of unsafety. The rooms were filthy, with sticky floors and evidence of illegal activities. The lack of basic amenities like a mini fridge or microwave added to the discomfort. Red centipedes and dried blood stains on the bedding made for a nightmarish stay.
The hotel had issues with cleanliness and maintenance, with persistent problems in the rooms and key card access. The service was a mix of professional and courteous along with some rude behavior from the receptionist. The location was convenient, but some inconsistencies and closures caused inconvenience. The dining experience had limitations with locked doors and a subpar buffet. However, some positive aspects included a friendly manager and proximity to the airport.
Despite these, the location was well-liked and appreciated for its convenience and early opening hours.
The hotel is not recommended due to serious safety concerns, including drug and prostitution activity, unclean rooms, and management indifference. The location appears nice but potentially unsafe, as there were incidents of burglary reported. The dining experience was poor, expensive, noisy, and lacked convenience.
Stayed at the Plaza Hotel which was dirty, with unsavory characters around at all hours, involved in drug and prostitution activities. The rooms had red centipedes on the ceiling and spots of dried blood on the pillowcases. Management was unresponsive to complaints, and the overall safety was a significant concern.
Upon arrival at the hotel, I was met with a warm and humid atmosphere, but unfortunately, the rooms were not up to standard, as they were full of roaches and had a strong smell of paint/cigarette smoke. The service provided by the staff, though friendly and pleasant, was marred by one incident where a staff member barked at us to go to the laundry room. The location had its ups and downs, being close to a football field but marred by closure for three days for an emergency. The dining experience came with its own challenges, including locked doors during certain hours and a disappointing buffet. Unfortunately, the facilities did not live up to expectations, with noisy disturbances from renovations. Overall, my stay was not as enjoyable as I had hoped.
The hotel is extremely unsafe and unsavory, with reports of drug and prostitution activities, unclean rooms, and questionable hotel practices. It is not recommended for families or pets, and guests have experienced concerning behavior by both staff and other individuals at the hotel.
My stay at this hotel was concerning, to say the least. The rooms were in poor condition and cleanliness was a major issue, with mold and stickiness present. The atmosphere was questionable with unsavory individuals frequenting the premises engaged in illegal activities. Safety was a significant concern due to the presence of individuals with weapons, making it unsuitable for families and pets. However, the room size was adequate for moving around easily.
My stay at this hotel was a nightmare. The rooms were filthy and unsavory people were loitering around, engaging in illegal activities. The lack of security made it an incredibly unsafe place, and the service was abysmal. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone.
The hotel room was very dirty with no towels provided. We only stayed for two nights out of the planned five; the staff was unhelpful throughout. The room didn't match the online booking display, and the smell was unbearable, like a mix of stink and pot. Overall, a disappointing experience with no improvement during our short stay.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms weren't as bad as expected but still pretty gross; they weren't clean and ready, and they smelt like smoke. The service, although friendly and accommodating at breakfast and dinner, was not sympathetic to our complaints when needed, like being stranded late at FLL airport with no breakfast buffet as reserved. The location had its issues being in a high crime area, but for our specific visit, the convenience to various attractions made it work. The dining experience left much to be desired with practically inedible food. Overall, a mixed experience.
My stay at the hotel was far from pleasant. The rooms were not well-maintained and unpleasant. The presence of unsavory individuals made the atmosphere uncomfortable and unsafe. Despite its proximity to the airport, the overall experience was marred by cleanliness issues and safety concerns.
