Riverside Hotel
The king room was extremely large. Staff very friendly and accommodating. We had an evening flight and they let us check out late. Pool, restaurant, and gym area very nice. They are located right on the canal.

Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina
I really enjoyed our room… Third floor of the tower. Very nice shower, products, and a very comfortable bed. Not a great view from the lower floor but still could see some water. The restaurant had wonderful food for dinner and quick service to the pool.
