Nice big room with a separate sitting area and desk. That was really great as we work remotely when we travel. The breakfast was nice, something for everybody. The property in general was clean.

Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina
The valets left the dome light on, ran the battery dead, refused to help, made us think they did it on purpose to jump the car for a small fee but realized they couldn’t when it was a hybrid. Ended up costing $300 for road side assistance and hours of stress.
