Fort Lauderdale hotel guide. Highgate Independent hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

"We enjoyed the property - the pool was wonderful, the breakfast was delicious! I loved how close the hotel was to the airport and the cruise port. I also used the transfer shuttle to the cruise port which was easy and great!!"

"So we stood there for one night and than ended up adding an extra one with this hotel. We didn’t think it would be an issue and we figured we would be allowed to stay in the same room considering we are the “in house guest” and that is suppose to take priority. When I went to the front desk to book it for another night I was informed that somebody reserved that room so we had to pack all our stuff up and switch rooms which was very inconvenient. I understand things happen, however as someone who use to work in a hotel myself, whoever is staying in house is SUPPOSE to have top priority because we are the paying customer. It was just very tedious because we had to up and move everything. And ontop of that, the AC in BOTH rooms we were in were barely working. It was hot in the room the whole time we were there. Definitely wouldn’t stay here again because of these inconveniences."

"Property was easy to check in. Assigned room prior to arrival which made it super easy. Everything is code based and don't need room key."

"Very convenient to everything, parking was never an issue. "

"I would not call this a luxury resort for its price. The pool is very small and everybody is always fighting for a chair. The add-on prices for everything are insane. You pay for literally everything that you thought you already paid for when you pay thousands for your stay. You will get charged for your breakfast you will get charged for the parking you will get charged for all of it so be prepared! The elevators are the worst part of the hotel. People were very upset. You literally spend half of your stay waiting for the elevators because the staff uses the same elevators as the guests so you can never catch an elevator and it’s 25 floors of people. I definitely would not go back to this hotel. on the positive side, the staff was very nice."

"Very nice "

"Will definitely visit again. The hotel is excellent, their restaurants and services exceeded my expectations."

"Definitely coming back it was fantastic"

"Room was cleaned everyday but the room was warm everyday so sleep wasn’t the best."
