business on the beach

Overall the hotel is very nice. my major criticism is that the walls are paper thin. I heard my neighbors as loudly and clear as if we were in the same room.

spring break

the luggage guys are nice and make you feel welcome. when we first checked in, the guy at the front desk seemed put out that he had to deal with customers at that time (i later went to the front desk to ask a question and it was pretty packed and he was the only one free, he was still not helpful and still seemed put out by me). another girl at the front desk was nice, friendly, and helpful. one huge problem with this trip was the housekeeping. when we first went into our room, we noticed that not all the drawers were cleaned out from the previous guests (there was an unused feminine hygiene product in there). additionally, we were out of the room by 10:30am each day and would return at 5 to find that our room had still not been cleaned. one day housekeeping came at 6:30pm and when i answered the door she asked if she didn't have to clean our room. she said that she was supposed to leave at 5pm (like this was supposed to be my problem?!!?!) i didn't understand how they couldn't be finished cleaning the rooms by at the very latest 5pm. every morning when we left for the day the housekeeping cart was in the hallway right down from our room (looking like they may get around to cleaning it soon) but they didn't. another night when we were going out to dinner at 7pm i stopped at the front desk to tell them that no one bothered to even come to clean that day. they immediately sent someone up to clean it. the guys by the pool are really nice and helpful. the cons of this hotel outweighed the pros.

Anniversary

We had a wonderful stay @ the Westin Ft. Lauderdale! We had an ocean front room on the 15th floor. The private beach was located right across the street. Beach chairs were provided. There is a roof top pool, spa, and workout room. A Starbucks is attached and Shula's restaurant. Other Restaurants are close by. The decor is very modern and the hotel smells great! I enjoyed the Westin and will definitely stay again the next time I am in Ft. Lauderdale!

Very pleasant

The hotel is across the road from the beach, but it has a handy walkway over the road for easier beach access. Lovely pool and pleasant service.

Perfect Beachfront Location

The staff was very helpful and knowledgable of the location of surrounding businesses we would need to visit for necessities. The hotel is located on the beach, so the view was magnificent and the convenience could not be beat. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Fort Lauderdale.

Pleasant stay, recommended

Overall, very nice stay at the Westin. It is very clean, with understated luxury. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the beds comfy. It is great location, right on the beach and close to stores/restaurants. There is also a Starbucks on premises which is very convenient. I come down to Florida for business every so often and have stayed at most of the hotels in this area, the Westin is good value for the price and location. The food and drinks at Shula's were also very good. Would certainly recommend.
