Aloft Fort Lauderdale Airport

When we got to the hotel (on time), the room was not ready. We were told to wait on the roof deck. That was fine because there was bar up there. But when we got there the bar was not open. So we had basically nothing to do while waiting for our room. So we had to take a walk down the road and cross a very busy road to go somewhere for food and drink. When we finally got our room a couple hours later (no discount for the missing hours we had no access to the room of course), the room was cute and clean. There was no lock on the bathroom door. At night we went down to the bar, as did everyone else staying there, and there was only one bartender/waitress for everyone which made service extremely slow. When it was time for sleep the light would not go out. We had to sleep with the light on all night. But other than that it was great!! LOL

This place is SHADY! Do not stay! The bar charged us for food we did not order and drinks we did not purchase. We made reservations for this hotel prior to reading the reviews warning us that this hotel is a SCAM. When we arrived I asked the check-in associate about the reviews and she stated people get very drunk there and don’t know they spent that much on drinks. Well, this family of four did not eat at the hotel or get drunk. We went to the Italian restaurant down the street. Our hotel bill had a $58 food charge. We had five drinks at the bar and which totaled $126 and our hotel statement showed charges for an additional $42 in drinks we did not purchase.

Allowed early check-in. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Loved the DryBar products in the rooms. Thanks for a good stay before our cruise

The hotel staff took my belongings out of the room on my check out date. This didn’t bother me, a policy is a policy. Unfortunately my bag went missing, when I contacted the staff, they explained that I needed to wait three days for housekeeping manager to. So I extended my stay, to later to be told on Friday by her “we have a bag, but it doesn’t contain all of the items you said it contains” aka my LV shades went missing. Then told me make a police report cuz there will be no reimbursement from the hotel. While their valet parking guys offered for me to give them money to find my shades. How odd??! & unprofessional. Save yourself a headache and don’t come here with anything valuable or leave your items in the room unattended. Days i sat in the room with the do not disturb sign door on & being quiet, the housekeeper continuously open my door. Even after i declined services & left the sign up. We had two separate rm different floors same issue. They was looking for minorities to steal From. The location doesn’t have any thing close for convenience so another hotel is a better option.

The shuttle was a bit late but overall, very nice stay for one evening. Jachill was a nice front desk agent and Maridalys did her best as the only bartender on duty helping the only cook in the kitchen with a lot of people in the dining area. If you can Ubereats on a weeknight, might get your food faster. But the room is very clean although the noise from the traffic outside can be a bit much. I'd still return for one evening.
