Weekend getaway
O.k this was supposed to be a romantic getaway for my fiance' and I,but it ended up being more stressful than anything.The entire trip was already prepaid, but to our surprise we had to pay ten dollars a day for parking at a hotel we were staying at.The hotel was pretty empty and made us feel as though they were trying to make-up the loss of cost; with us with everything they could find.To my surprise our credit card was even charged for water that wasn't even in the room. If the water had been there; it should have been there as a courtesy to the quest.For the future we will never stay with this hotel branch again.

Only downfall was that the hotel didn't provide transportation to and from the airport and had to spend about $40.00 each way.

Staff programmed erroneous wake up calls for midnight and couldn't figure out how to fix it. I had to unplug the phone.

Decent Crash Pad - Westin FLL
I had a good stay and only a couple of complaints about the hotel. First, the room was clean but very used - there were spots in the carpeting, and the TV was a bit worse for wear. There was no refrigerators, which was a surprise, and given the relative seclusion kind of a hassle to have to go out to get anything that might be kept refrigerated (water, fruit, etc). The service was good and the lobby impressive. It was not a bad place to crash out but I would not stay at the hotel for an extended period.

Sightseeing tip:
Short drive from hotel
I was there to dive. this hotel is not far from the places I would go, but it is in a corporate park area and so is not immediately near any place fun to hang out. Plan to drive at least 15 minutes to get anywhere interesting, or stay at the hotel and enjoy the pool and the bar.

Amelia, exquisite woman
great birthday getaway
It was my mate's birthday weekend. The trip to FL was my gift to him. The hotel gave us a room upgrade and surprised us with a free chocolate tort with our roomservice meal. My mate, although not a great demonstrator of emotions, was very pleased. The hotel was also central to the area and friends that we visited. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms clean and quiet. We had such a wonderful time. I am looking forward to returning sometime soon.
