    We had a great time at the Snooze hotel. It is a true bungalow, small hotel with a great location, lovely rooms, and personalized customer service. The room was big, super clean and had all the essentials. The view was wonderful! Would absolutely stay again and would recommend others stay here as well!

    Great location, but that's where my praise stops. The rooms smelled like mold. The room was really worn, it seemed like water damage. Staff was seldom around. Front desk licks up at 7:00pm. My key was in a lock box at check-in, it took me a half hour trying to figure out how to get in. My room at table outside my door where everyone smoked. Lots of noise outside my door at 7:00am.

    Do you want to book a hotel on a website from the 90's, get a random text the day before you show up saying they are going to charge you for parking when the website says it's free, and then when you go to pay for your hotel it's double/triple the price? Then this garbage, scammy place is for you! First, I thoroughly checked prices all around that area and they were pretty competitive. I ended up stay at Snooze because it was one of the lowest prices and the rooms "looked" nice. I reserved a few weeks ahead of time and it displayed $59.99 a night for one of the King rooms, but I did not screenshot it because I didn't think these people would scam me. I get to the hotel and have to check in to pay because you can't prepay on the website, which is where the scam is. The manager tells me I owe double what I booked the room for. I bring up that the room price I booked was $59.99 and they blame it on their horrific website in which they say they "can no longer get ahold of the webmaster" to have them make changes. Pretty sure I know now why they can no longer get ahold of the webmaster, I wouldn't want to be associated with these people either. Anyway, now I am stuck with having to pay these scam artists double because it's the day of my check-in and I imagine hotel prices aren't any cheaper the day of. Classic bait and switch scam. So, I pay these scammers and get to my room because I'm exhausted. I immediately notice how tiny the room is and there was no room to put my belongings anywhere except in my walking path. I ended up having to open my suitcase on the bed to retrieve anything. I had the room right by the elevator so I was awakened a few times by people coming loudly out of the elevator...which I also noticed people have left bad reviews about the same room. I came in late the 2nd day I stayed and didn't even have a parking spot. This place reiterates many times how they have free sunscreen, chairs and a rooftop terrace like people care about that...but it's just a coverup to try to make them look good and make people look past how they are actually getting scammed. These disrespectful people also talk down about and trash the surrounding hotels, saying "There is a crack house 5 miles inland known for prostitution and shootings called the Link. I cost $20 more than they do." (As seen in screenshot). As you can see at the top left of my Google Maps screenshot, The Link Hotel is actually $49 CHEAPER, so they are straight up lying all while trashing other hotels...how disgusting! Stay far away from this place as there is cheaper, respectful, non-scammy places with better reviews right next door as seen in my Google Map screenshot.

    Right across the street we saw the sunrise every morning!

    Snooze is a lovely place to stay for a very fair price. The owner and his employee, Nick, are very accommodating and always around to help in anyway. We stayed in the hostel bunk bed room and it was simple and snug! Overall a great deal for a beautiful beach front stay!

    Very surprising decor and quality for a little two story hotel. Booked this for our last night in FL after a cruise. It was highly recommended by friends so naturally I booked it without questions. Upon arriving it looks like a little motel in the middle of big ones on the beach. The staff was friendly and accommodating as we arrived hours before check in. They provided us with towels, beach chairs and umbrellas to go enjoy the beach which was literally across the street. The inside was absolutely stunning! The shower was amazing with the waterfall shower head. The decor was fresh and perfect. And the room key is an actually key! You don't see that much now a days. We went to the rooftop cabana to watch the beach area while eating dinner and went back up the next day to see the sunrise. I now highly recommend this place to everyone and will be back!

    Rooftop deck was a great spot to enjoy your morning coffee

    This is a small unassuming hotel right along the water line that was a great find! The hotel had a kitchenette in our room and was across the street from the beach. The Snooze offered free towels, beach chairs and umbrellas for you to carry over. We also loved Matt at the front desk who was accommodating and a delight. This was a simple stay with everything we needed!

We stayed in room 1116, it was a corner room with a nice view of the beach. The room was a good size and I really like the bathroom layout. There was a microwave, small fridge, and stove top which is great if you are having a long stay and want to heat up or make food. The location was very convenient and right across from the beach. The hotel has many amenities including a spa, pool, restaurants and a rooftop bar. The resort fee gets you beach chairs and towels. Some minor complaints we had were related to the wait times for the elevators. There are 4 elevators but one is designated to the rooftop bar. Besides the elevators, we really enjoyed our brief stay here.

The only reason I even found out was because I called ahead to let them know I'd be checking in later due to dinner plans. That's when the staff informed me my reservation had been canceled on the 16th--four days before my stay. When I asked why, I was told the reason was "CONFIDENTIAL" (yes, seriously). Meanwhile, my credit card was still charged and no refund had been issued. I called back and got a different staff member who was dismissive, tried to rush me off the phone, and repeatedly gaslit me by saying I had a "prebooked rate"--as if booking a room three weeks in advance is somehow a valid reason to cancel it. Eventually, I was transferred to the "resolution department," which seems to exist for situations exactly like this--where they cancel lower-rate bookings so they can resell the room at a higher price. The representative I spoke with tried to help but wouldn't rebook the room unless I provided the exact rate I originally paid. When I attempted to pull it up, my banking app wouldn't allow screenshots due to security restrictions. At that point, with no place to stay and my card already charged, I was stuck. Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in and booked another (non-refundable) room for us, otherwise we would have been completely stranded. To sum it up: Hilton canceled my reservation after taking my money, gave no notice, issued no refund, and did it solely to resell the room at a higher price. They refused to explain the real reason and then tried to sell me the same room at double the rate. If it weren't for my in-laws stepping in, we quite literally would have been left without a place to stay in Fort Lauderdale--not to mention this completely ruined my wife's birthday.

We arrived around 9 am after our cruise, and our assigned upgraded room (suite) was not ready. The front desk receptionist, Dominique, was most helpful and gave us 5 star service in looking for a room with a balcony that was available for us. She found one and upgraded us to an ocean front. It was truly the BEST ocean front room we have ever had in Ft Lauderdale and Miami. I would have loved to stay longer just to enjoy the view more. We had a mini-suite, versus the regular suite which would not have had the balcony. Room 1715. Big shower, comfortable sitting chair, large balcony with cushioned chairs and table, Lavazza coffee, ironing board. We were so close, we could hear the ocean waves. Pool was fine. Hot tub. By the pool were cushioned lounge chairs and umbrellas, but some of the cushions were flat. A pool attendant said new cushions were on order for next year, so it would be better. A shout-out to the pool attendant who dragged over a different chair with a cushion that had some cushion left in it for me. She was genuinely nice. There was also a separate section of chairs facing a wall closer to the bathroom, so if it was crowded, you would still be able to get a chair but not with a cushion. I liked the fitted towel covers they put over the chairs. It was chilly and windy when we were there, so I asked for an extra chair cover to use as a blanket. Periodically, the attendants came by with chilled water, frozen fruit. The pool-side service was excellent. Different servers may come by asking if you need anything or to pick up your dishes, since they work as a team. The hamburger and fries was delicious ($35). Chicken tenders were pretty good. The alcohol drinks were $20. I liked the non-alcoholic mango daiquiri. ' I highly recommend making reservations at Takata, Japanese restaurant at the hotel. It got packed later and everything was absolutely delicious - one of the best dinners in Ft Lauderdale we have had in over 20 years. It is also open for breakfast. I had the avocado toast which was okay. Down the street in the shopping center is a CVS. We have stayed in a number of Ft Lauderdale hotels over the years for a cruise. The outstanding service from Dominique at the front desk to the pool attendants and servers, the Takata server all were phenomenal. The room was incredible and we appreciated the generous supply of Lavazza coffee and microwave. We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Conrad, and it will be at the top of our list next time we are in Ft Lauderdale.

The yellow water coming from the faucet was especially concerning and looked very strange. After checking into our room, we waited 40 minutes for our luggage to be delivered. In the end, we had to go downstairs and get it ourselves. The pool is extremely small, overcrowded with children, and closes at 6 PM, which honestly makes no sense for a resort-style hotel -- I've never experienced that anywhere else. The valet parking is also extremely overpriced. Overall, this hotel is absolutely not worth the money they charge.

We traveled as a family of three - husband, wife and…read moredaughter (8) The resort is located right on the beach unlike others that are across the street or require walking. It's also situated right on the boardwalk so you can easily take a nice walk in the morning, grab a quick scoop of ice cream (like 10 spots to choose from), shop for souvenirs or shirts and grab a quick diner. This made our stay super convenient because everything we needed was there! Most of the restaurants on the boardwalk are more fast casual with lots of Italian options. This worked well for our family because 2/3 of us are vegetarian. We did find a really nice upscale restaurant called GG's waterfront and it was only a two block walk from our hotel so not Ubers were needed. This made our trip to be honest. We love high end restaurants with fresh/quality food and this check every box. It's also situated for the most incredible sunset. So make sure you go. As for food the rest of the trip - for breakfast we just grabbed a Sammy from the coffee shop inside the hotel and they had some good options. Breakfast Sammie's, burritos (pre made but they warm them), fruit bowls, yogurt bowls, you name it. Then for lunch we always ate at the pool an really looked forward to it. This friend shrimp was outta this world and it's served with honey mustard which was so yummy. Prolly some of the best fried shrimp I've ever eaten at a pool. The we always got the cedar salad which was refreshing and we all split it. The only thing I wish they had more of was a nice guac - I'm talking with nice additions and super fresh / tasty. Then for diner we ate at the resort two nights - once on the upper desk restaurant overlooking the love music so we could hear it but not be in the action. The weekend nights are a little rowdy for our daughter. We were able to watch some sports on the outdoor tvs, listen to live music, watch the FlowRider and eat. The food was not great to be honest but the ambiance was incredible. Then one night we ate at the steakhouse at the property. Service was weird just felt awkward lol. But the food was good. The deviled eggs were top notch and some of the deserts. For drinks we always grabbed a South Sode gin drink from the coffee shop. If you like gin then it's a must. And at the pool our daughter lived on strawberry daiquiris (virgin) and we drank 1 pina colada (so much sugar) a day and then switched to mojitos (less sugar). We loved all the pool servers but they could prolly double the service at the pool bc people were kind of always waiting. Cabanas - we got a cabanas two of the days and it was incredible. It includes credit towards food and if you get one with a working tv you can watch tv. The NCAA tournaments were on so we got the cabanas two of the days we wanted access to the to each the games. It was also nice to have space and shade to relax. Treat yourself once day and grab one. FlowRider - WTF this was so cool! We're new to this and it was so fun for older kids. Our daughter was (8) did it two days and loved it. The instructors are so kind and helpful to those trying to learn. One of the trainers is in the top ten of all FlowRiders in the US. I did see some adults doing it but with a bad back we didn't want to risk it. The rooms were nice and cozy. We had one king and then ordered a pull away for our daughter. We do wish that they had more rooms with additional beds for the kids. Even the suites didn't include more beds. We prefer two kings, or king and a pull out and last resort would be two queens. I think they could def make the rooms better suitable for families. Construction - this was the only frustrating part to the end of our vacation. The last two days ( during spring break ) they were door construction right by the main pool and it was so loud that one of the days we had to leave the pool. Just seems like a really weird time to do construction The other negative was the main pool didn't have entertainment any of the days we were there (Saturday (night) - Thursday). It would have been nice to have some trivia, live music, or something. Also, for anyone else wondering if Margaritaville is child friendly it certainly is. They have a dedicated pool for kids with a small water slide, waterfall and activities. However, our daughter didn't want to hang out in the "baby pool" so we stayed at the main pool which had older kids and some other smaller kids. I'd say a majority of the people at the main pool were older kids and adults. Overall we would certainly come back to this hotel as we really enjoyed our stay!

I wrote to the GM Cody Bertone (at least that was the name and contact info I was given by the hotel) and not surprisingly I never heard from him/her even after 3 emails. every hotel faces hiccups. you learn to go with it. but no doors or ventilation in the bathroom. that is not hip. just cheap, tasteless and careless with zero thought for any woman. period. if you have any style or class, run, run as far away as you can. unless of course going number two in a non ventilated room is your thing.

    Absolute Disaster: Lied to, Misled, and Utterly Disappointed at the W Fort Lauderdale…read moreI booked a superior ocean view room at the W Fort Lauderdale expecting the premium experience this brand promises, but what I got was a bait-and-switch that turned my stay into a frustrating ordeal. Instead of the ocean view I paid for, they stuck me in what was clearly a standard room overlooking a drab building--no water in sight, just concrete and disappointment. When I politely asked the front desk to move me to the room type I had actually reserved, they claimed the only ocean view available was already spoken for. Skeptical, I pulled up their own website on my phone right there at the desk, and lo and behold, several ocean front rooms were listed as available for booking that very night. They lied straight to my face, and even after I showed them the evidence--screenshots and all--they doubled down, mumbling excuses about "system glitches" or whatever nonsense they could conjure up on the spot. It was blatant dishonesty, and it set the tone for the entire stay. This isn't just my bad luck; it's a pattern at this crap W location, as evidenced by countless other guests who've shared similar horror stories. On TripAdvisor, one reviewer called it a "disaster from top to bottom," highlighting desperate need for renovations in rooms that feel outdated and neglected . Another described the place as "scandalous" and a "disgusting ripoff," pointing out pervasive dirtiness everywhere, from sewage smells in the lobby to entire floors reeking of weed with no intervention from staff . I've seen complaints about filthy lounge chairs at the pool that look like they haven't been cleaned in months, and maintenance issues like broken ice makers, burned-out lights, and screeching appliances that housekeeping somehow misses entirely . Even elite status guests report getting shortchanged on upgrades while the hotel lies about availability, with dirty common areas and overcrowded pools full of rowdy crowds and no real service . Yelp echoes this, with people slamming the "horrible room layouts" lacking privacy and "bad service from staff" who offer no real solutions . Long-time visitors are "genuinely upset" about the decay in rooms that once felt luxurious but now scream neglect . The fees here are outrageous for what you get--ridiculous valet pricing with subpar service, no bar or amenities at certain pools, and a general sense that the place is coasting on its beachfront location while skimping on everything else . It's not a five-star resort; it's a overpriced letdown with management that prioritizes excuses over accountability. If you're considering this hotel, do yourself a favor and book elsewhere--there are plenty of spots in Fort Lauderdale that won't lie to you or leave you regretting your choice. This W is a total crapshoot, and based on the widespread complaints, it's only getting worse. that once

    Hilton Diamond member here, but I don't usually stay at Embassey Suites. We stayed here the night…read morebefore embarking on a Royal Caribbean cruise. We were quite impressed with how much room there was. Last time I stayed at an ES was over 10 years ago. - I'm not a fan if dark interiors, because it hides dirt and grime. However, it felt clean enough - Sofa bed was not very comfortable but most of them aren't. Other beds were nice and comfy. - Breakfast was a mad house, but good food. - Evening reception was crazy too. 2 drink coupons per person and long lines for the bar. Pretty sure everyone here was a cruise passenger. - Walking distant to local stores if you want to pick up last minute items for the cruise. Overall, good experience. Thanks ES.

    Pretty disappointing stay at this hotel. I've stayed at a number of embassy suites, and this is one…read moreof the worst. The hotel definitely looks nice inside and out, and the rooms are big, but otherwise, there is a lot wrong with it: 1) Our room was completely missing lights in the bedroom other than two small lights over the sink. There was a place for lights by the bed with an electrical outlet, but no lights there. The room was very dark at night. 2) A piece of the trim in the main room fell on one of us when we were unpacking. It was not secured to the wall properly. 3) The free drinks were not as advertised in the photos. There are photos on the website and around the hotel of fancy looking cocktails. When I showed the bartender one of these and asked for one of those drinks, she just laughed. False advertising. 4) The breakfast was pretty meh. Food quality was not as good as normal at ES hotels, things ran out fast and did not replenish, and when I told the people at the omelette bar I can't consume milk and needed them to make me regular eggs with a clean spatula and grill, they acted annoyed. 5) The peloton bikes in the gym did not function. All they needed was to be connected to the internet, but despite asking the front desk THREE TIMES to have someone do that, they never did. 6) The timeshares salespeople in the lobby are very annoying. 7) The pool no longer has the waterfall that's in some photos. Sort of sad. All in all, definitely not worth $350+ per night.
