Red Carpet Inn Airport and Cruise Port Hotel Fort Lauderdale
The room and premises was clean. Staff was friendly and welcoming. The pool was getting a face-lift. Will be great when completed. I didn't do any laundry. It's a great place to stop in see the place and come back to rest. Place was secured. Key card to gain entry.

Costa Hollywood Beach Resort
We just spent 4 nights here. Check in was great, very friendly and welcoming. We got there before noon so our room wasn't ready, They said they would call when it was ready and gave us a key to access the pool, chairs for the beach, and towels. They also took all our luggage and stored it for us ...

Solé Miami, A Noble House Resort
Really nice people at this hotel. Ross went out of his way to accommodate our stay. Thank you to the staff who keeps the place in good condition. The only downside is that the pool closes early.
