Hampton Inn Ft. Lauderdale/Downtown Las Olas Area - Fort Lauderdale

The construction closed off the breakfast and bar area, created dust which settled in many other areas, eliminated the security lock between the garage and second floor where a stairwell was easily accessable to all hallways and rooms, and in general created an uncomfortable enviornment of disarray and dirt. The improvised breakfast room was adequate, but uninviting. Breakfast was okay except for the yellow jellow that was supposed to pass for scrambled eggs. My room was clean, but that could not be said of the eighth floor hallway, which appeared tot to have been vaccumed in days. My room was comfortable despite the scant dresser storage and lack of ant towel racks or hooks on which to hang hand or bath towels. No plastic cups in the room, just cardboard, yuk, and the airconditioner was not working in the room when I arrived. I'm suprised the room attendant didn't mention that to maintenance, so I had to call, afterwhich it was discovered that the batteries in the thermostat needed replacing.

The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Was quite disappointed upon arrival when we walked in to find the hotel under construction. We were not made aware when we booked this hotel that they were remodeling (probably would have picked another hotel). The restaurant/bar was gone and there was a make shift breakfast room. There were construction workers, scaffolding, ladders, etc all over the lobby and on different floors. They were even working out by the pool. The noise level from the work being done started at 8 and lasted all day. We requested and were told our friends who were coming the next day had a room reserved by ours. When they arrived, their room had been given away and they were placed 2 floors below us.

The hotel was being completely remodeled and access to the parking garage was a pain with having to go all the way down to the 2 floor then take the elevator back up to the 5th floor where my room was located. The room was recently remodeled and was nice but construction started and I was woken up at 9am in the morning to drilling and other loud noises to the room directly above mine. When I told the front desk how I was disturbed, I was told that it had to be done. You would think on a national holiday that there would be no work being done but I think it's bad customer service to wake up your guests at 9am with construction and not really caring if it's an inconvenience to them. I won't be staying here again if this is how they treat their guests.

Hotel under construction so a lot of noise during the day. Hallways were hot and smelly. Bathtub was dirty in general. Neighborhood is sketchy with something that looks like a homeless shelter across the street.

Nice hotel, pool was nice, room was nice. But they charger $12-15 for parking for my 1 night stay. I spent plenty of money on the hotel ($150) to only get charged for parking. Put a sour taste in my mouth.
