What guests think

Across reviews of Plaza Hotel Fort Lauderdale, guests frequently report serious cleanliness and maintenance issues: roaches, strong odors, broken fixtures, and unreliable basics like hot water, elevators, locks, and TVs, with many amenities such as the pool or gym closed.

Rooms are dated, often missing or malfunctioning essentials, and noise and security concerns are common. Service feedback is mixed: some staff are kind and helpful, but long check in lines, unanswered phones, and refund difficulties appear in multiple reviews. Several travelers mention the lobby looking fine and the prices or parking being acceptable, while others appreciated the convenient access to nearby shops. Expect a budget stay with significant trade offs and many out of service features.

The entire experience was disgusting. First off there are hidden amenities that were not online like being charged $20 per car per day. Microwave and fridge use is 15$. The next problem was how the hotel looks like it is falling apart. - The paint on my door was peeled off, looks like it was bashed in. - The floor looks like it’s dusty and moldy. - There is no phone to call the front desk and I had no blanket. It was already 2:30 in the morning and I was not going downstairs. - The room smelled of paint and mold. - The bathtub shows clear signs of mold because you can clearly see an impression of the bathmat. So where the mat was is white while the rest of the tub has orange dots everywhere.

It is the true definition of "you get what you pay for" and in my opinion, i paid too much. There were roaches everywhere, mold, dust and dirt. They were renovating by just covering up all imperfections, not actually fixing anything. They charge resort fees and say their for amenities like breakfast but still charge for breakfast. The only good thing about this place is the front desk agent, Ana.

The hallways were dark and smelled very bad. The curtains had slices in them and were hanging off their hooks. The phone did not work. One bed did not have a blanket/comforter on it. We saw cockroaches. We checked for bedbugs and the mattresses were disturbingly stained. No water pressure in the shower. We kept our shoes on the whole time in the room. When we got home we washed EVERYTHING because it all smelled so gross from the room. We would have left for another hotel if there had been any available, but we were stuck due to the holiday weekend. They said they were remodeling, so maybe it will be better in a year!

This hotel is beyond disappointing. We will be contacting Expedia. We were give used supplies, there are holes in the wall everywhere, the floors are sticking, the light is missing a shade, possible mold in the bathroom, broken elevators. We weren’t even supplied with bedding other than 1 sheet. The pool was decent which is the only saving part because we had kids. I didn’t even have a phone to call the desk to inquire about the issues and they had a huge line of everyone else complaining.

Check in is at 4pm but be prepared to wait in line for checkin because it takes a long time. There is a 50.00 extra fee for late check out. There is a 100.00 deposit. There were only 2 elevators working for the entire hotel. The hallway carpets have lumps in them. There is a candy lady but she is cash only. The bed was comfortable. The pillows are small. There is only the one sunblock curtain and it is outdated and warped. They have nice sized Philips TVs so that was a plus. There was an iron, ironing board, microwave and mini fridge in my room so another plus. There was a couple fighting and chasing each other down the stairs screaming. The location is great to stores in the plaza across the street. The furniture is definitely run down and out dated. The sheets and towels were the dirtiest I’ve seen. The room doors seem like they have expanded so opening and closing is a hassle.

The bed was very good. There was only 1 electrical outlet that worked in the room and even the plug in the bathroom didn't work. The room was large but had no table or chairs and even night tables next to the bed had ho lamps. The only lights were 1 in the doorway when you you came in and 1 free standing lamp with no lamp shade. This made a very dark room at night. The curtain didn't completely cover the window and the outside security light was very bright and came in on both side of the curtain and was very annoying. We had issues with the TV and they came up and put it on a news channel, but after the news we wanted to change channels and we got nothing, couldn't even get the news back on.

This property is nothing like the description online. We had no furniture in our room besides a bed and a television stand. The television itself was blurry. Only one light worked. There were holes in the walls and writing on them. Only one of four elevators worked and the one that did was scary to say the least. There is almost no water pressure in the shower. The entire first floor smells of mold. The common area to get ice looks like someone started demolition and gave up partway through.

The only good thing about this stay, was that the front desk staff was nice. Main room door wouldn’t open without shoving your full weight against it, bath door wouldn’t close without doing the same. Killed 2 bugs during my stay. Towels were dirty and had to go ask front desk for new ones. Phone in room wasn’t even connected to the wall. No clothes hangers provided. Safe was so rusted I didn’t bother using it. No “Do Not Disturb” signs for doors. Had to ask front desk to not get early service. Sink & tub have cracks from age and no repairs. AC sounded like a helicopter when it turned off. TV would keep loading, couldn’t watch anything. Burn holes on bed comforter. Seems like people live in the rooms like long term - gathering in hallway after midnight screaming like it was a block party. No food options for breakfast- whole dining area was closed off. Parking was always full and had to park far from main entrance. Did not feel safe walking that distance at night. Will not stay here again.

We were in town for a small family party. We did not plan to stay overnight but decided that it would be responsible to do so because it was late at night. I booked a room at approx 9 pm and PAID. We arrived at the hotel at around 12:30 AM and when we tried to check into our room. The lady at reception said that they assign rooms on a first come first serve basis and they were out of rooms for the night. We had to make the drive back home to Naples. Getting in contact with the property has been a nightmare since as they don’t answer the phone. Terrible terrible experience.

( March 29 -30 Plaza Hotel Fort Lauderdale) Check in at this hotel is horrific only one customer only service person and she’s been here since 12 o’clock the night before with no help lobby was not clean smelled like cigarettes this place was more like a residential hotel for the those getting a 2nd chance at life again God is good but they should tell you that because you will be very surprise when you get here especially for $200 dollars for a one night stay and the picture of the building on the website are nothing like the place when you get here trust me on the hotel.com website it rate 3 1/2 stars this place is a 2 star on there best day this is my best honest review of this place our on googles are better and true not on hotels.com on the other hand this place is very busy I guess it must be very close to the port authority stay just overnight to cruise the next morning it must be convenient to use if you sleep standing up against the wall with your clothes on sitting on top of your luggage so the roaches don’t get you (he ran, couldn’t get a picture of him) but I do have a picture of the bed so I hope this helps you in choosing a good hotel because I would never stay in this one Best regards *** Front desk solution was the changes to another room. I was like are you kidding me? Did you not see the pictures? I just showed you I’m not staying here. They do not give a refund As they are nonrefundable hotel So I hope this helps you good luck

Upon arrival we found out there were no rooms and pretty much tossed out and told to call expedia because it was their fault for not confirming availability with Hotel. This is after I called during the day speaking with Ovina to confirm our reservation was service and giving our arrival time from Chicago. Hotel was sketchy to say the least and a lot of extra activity going on. Coming from out of state and not knowing the area we were left to scramble and find other arrangements. When calling to resolve I was given the run around from Hotel very difficult to reach finally reached a Tiffany, them difficulty with Expedia after several on line chats. It was determined that I cancelled my reservation. Which is false. Several chats an Cala regarding this. I believe now that Expedia and Plaza hotel are on this together and have kept my $$. Now they want me to review my stay. I never stayed. You refused me and stated no rooms available. Disgusting and horrible customer service on both their parts. Please use someone else when booking out of state for your own safety

Hotel appeared to be primarily used as a low-income housing building or maybe a homeless shelter? Many permanent residence that get into loud fights (police visited the property at least twice during our 3 day stay). Broken vehicles in parking lot, many doors to rooms broken, etc. We only stayed there because of location and the other nearby hotels were sold out. Would rather have driven further to stay somewhere else had we known of the condition & environment.

This place was a roach motel in an area that looked like a hub for human trafficking. The moment we pulled into the check in area it reeked of marijuana outside and inside. The entire place looked dim, dingy, outdated and dirty. Lots of people sort of milling around outside and inside that made my wife and kids uncomfortable. We ultimately left and found another hotel in Fort Lauderdale.

My room was at the end of the hotel, so I was required to totally walk around the building to get in the front lobby. 6.) I asked for coffee, and housekeeping didn't have any cream or sweetener. I had to buy my own cream. 7.) Front office phone was never answered. I called to asked how late I could sign in, and I called a number of times about the condition of my room (bugs and housekeeping). Terrible stay. Expedia should reconsider promoting the hotel
