positive:
Comfortable accommodation
Guests tend to be complimentary about the rooms and suites at the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Plantation, often describing the accommodation as comfortable. The beds sound like they are good quality and the balconies were a highlight for those guests who benefited from one.
positive:
Convenient location
Aside from the easy on/off access to Interstate 595, this hotel also places you conveniently close to the airport, as well as Port Everglades and many of the area's attractions. Sure, you won't be within walking distance of the beach and downtown area but these are within easy reach by car.
positive:
Good service and facilities
The overall opinion of guests is that this hotel offers a good choice of on-site facilities and an impressive standard of customer service. The rates here are not exactly on the budget end of the scale, but the feeling is that the service and facilities justify the rates.
Negative Reviews
negative:
A little dated
Although many guests like the rooms and suites at this hotel, some do comment that they found the decor and furnishings a little on the dated side. It's not something that should affect the quality of your stay, but things may well look a little worn and far from "chic.".
negative:
Wi-Fi incurs extra cost
A number of guests are rather disappointed by the lack of free Wi-Fi in the rooms and suites. It does seem that Internet access should be a given in today's online era. Furthermore, guests feel that the daily charge is quite high.
negative:
Some housekeeping issues
A small number of reviews indicate that guests encounter some minor issues with housekeeping. There's nothing too serious too worry about - just infrequent issues with the number of towels/pillows and some light dust and stray hairs.
