Fort Lauderdale hotels near Bonnet House Museum and Gardens

Cons: 1. Not many eateries around there. Though Village Cafe very good, short walk. 2. No coffee in room despite having coffee maker. 3. Room 322 had a shower head displaced facing the sink and not moveable so water was not directly on you per se. 4. Soap, though provided, was Irish Spring. Did its job but am used to fancier soaps. 5. Construction next door. Not quite completed.

Cons: Can be expensive

Cons: Very rude customer service. Rooms were not near as nice as shown in pictures. Very weird layout. There is a separate building they originally put us in. It was called a 2 bdrn suite but the bdrm had one small window that looked straight at the wall of the parking garage. The room also had a motel style exterior entrance. We requested a new room and got one in the main building, that was better but still poor for the price.

Cons: Restaurant service was spotty - the food was very good but even with low volume the service was not very attentive. We frequently waited a long time for service, had to ask for silverware, more water, etc.

Cons: Nothing open late... no bars, restaurants, no even a vending machine.

Cons: I don't have anything negative at all to say.

Cons: Bathroom could use some attention to the grout. Little mold here and there. Overall still an excellent place to stay.

Cons: I'm surprised there wasn't a pay-toilet! Extra for everything.

Cons: We got stuck with a room that had a noisy broken air conditioning system. Room 727. The good news was that Hotel tonight app got us the room for $140.

Cons: I dindt like the pool services; you feel like you are along...but this don’t change my great stay it all it’s just a comment.

Cons: Staff was not helpful when asking for businesses around the hotel. Additionally, they seemed short staffed our entire stay. Only valet parking was offered and multiple times we waited OVER 20 minutes for our car to be brought around. Ridiculous!

Cons: Parking was a bit expensive. $30/night

Cons: The walls were thin, I could hear conversations going on next door and outside. There were lots of kids which surprised me during Valentine’s Day weekend.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Two things- one morning fire alarm system tested for about an hour. Very loud speaker- wonder why cannot check b/t check in/checkout vs mid morning. Maybe fire dept controls and hotel does not have a choice. Other thing is somewhat trivial- hotel has very limited TV channels; missed The Walking Dead:( But wife could watch Oscars on other TV. Having 2 TVs a plus, even tho channel access limited.

Cons: The bar closes at 11:30pm, which seemed kind of earlier. We were there at close Saturday night and there was at least 30 people in there still wanting to stay at close.

Cons: Add Heat To Rooms in the winter months

Cons: Don't worth the $200+ a night rate I paid. It looks and feels like an old Holiday Inn that was renovated. The view from the rooms of the beach is only a half view as the building is blocking the rest. The carpet was stained. The shower had mold on the grout and caulked in areas. The A/C only kicked on when it wanted to. The pool is the size of an above-ground pool. I paid the rate because the reviews and pictures looked appeasing but it turned out to be a front. Also, it is not an adult only hotel; many, many families present and being very loud and obnoxious. 2-star rating. Only stay here if you find a rate for under $100 a night. Very, very disappointed.

Cons: The service specially for the breakfast was very poor

Cons: Slow internet

Cons: Outrages parking cost.

Cons: Restaurant was very expensive

Cons: I didn't like that I had to wait at minimum a half an hour for them to find my reservation . I also didn't like for the room to be a junior suite it was very small and uncomfortable . For the amount of money spenr s basic room at the Marriott was much more comfortable .

Cons: Breakfast at the hotel resturant cost us a pretty penny.

Cons: Seemed a little too "uppity" for our family. It always seemed as if someone was looking for a tip. My husband went down to get a luggage cart to take our bags downstairs and the guy wouldn't let him have the cart. Said it was a "liability". I've been to a lot of hotels and always used my own luggage cart. It's not a liability for heavens sake. It just means someone won't get a tip. Also the bed was not very comfortable but that's just a personal opinion. It could be very comfortable to someone else.

Cons: EVERYTHING. I would not stay here, they are not accomodating,the staff is rude and inconsiderate. There sheets were terrible, and the room was dirty.

Cons: The pool was sort of small though. I would have liked a microwave as well though. Restaurant in hotel was kind of expensive so we never ate there.

Cons: Asked for assistance in booking an Everglades day trip, was told by front desk they would give a ring back but failed to do so. (We actually found a great restaurant called the Royal Pig on Las Olas blvd, the waiter introduced us to a fellow who chartered trips, so worked out well for us. Beach x the street, rough crossing with construction and traffic

Cons: Nothing negative

Cons: I have NO complaints. They exeeded my expectations.

Cons: Parking cost is $30/night. You can hear every sound through the door.

Cons: The building is under construction, which started fairly early (8 a.m.) so that wasn't our favorite. It was a bummer because that affected the on-site sushi restaurant as well as the fitness center (both were closed for the stay). Beach chair rentals are included in the resort fee, which is great- except that the attendant on the last day came up to us several times in a two-hour frame to let us know they "close" at 5 (or that they fold up the chairs then) and wasn't very friendly about it.

Cons: Slight access issues, but once you've stayed there you figure it out and its fine, the location offsets any access challenges.

Cons: My room was RIGHT BY THE ELEVATOR... bad move. You hear everythjbg coming in and out. Also, the chef... Well, let's just say the meal I had wSnt great. Actually, it wasn't good either.

Cons: Rooms are starting to run down already - maids screaming in the hallway - room not very clean

Cons: This trip was much more stressful than it should’ve been, and that was due to GetARoom’s overall communication to us on changes, and customer support to help resolve the issue. We were informed less than 12 hours before our departing flight that our reservation at the initial hotel I had reserved, the Sonesta Ft. Lauderdale, was overbooked and would need to contact customer service to resolve. After waiting on hold for over 30mins during my initial attempts to contact customer service, I replied with an email; to which I still received no response or confirmation for over an hour. At that point I contacted Kayak directly as this reservation was apparently booked with GetARoom via Kayak. When reaching a Kayak representative they finally connected me with a GetARoom representative. At that time I expressed my level of frustration and expectations for the alternative hotel that we would need to stay in. In doing so, I was then informed that GetARoom was actually notified of the overbooking on Tuesday (3/30), and yet we were still not even informed of this until Wednesday (3/31) at 7:17pm; less than 12 hours before our departing flight. When speaking to the representative I asked to be guaranteed at least an equal quality or better hotel, and some sort of discount due to the inconvenience. She informed me 2-3 times that I could choose not to accept the alternate hotel and receive a full refund. This is not acceptable as being the only resolution, especially since most airlines do not permit you to change flights within 24 hours, let alone less than 12 hours. At this time I requested to speak to a supervisor and was informed she was the highest member of authority and that was the best that could be done. After being on the phone and hold with her for over 89 minutes, we were finally confirmed our alternate reservations at the Hilton Ft. Lauderdale Marina, to which she stated no discount could be given because it was a nicer & more expensive hotel than the Sonesta. The entire reason we chose the Sonesta was due to an ocean view and location to entertainment & restaurants. Additionally, due to the location of our alternate hotel, we were forced to spend over $225 throughout the weekend in transportation that otherwise would not have been necessary. Furthermore, the “marina view” we received at the Hilton was nothing more than a balcony overlooking the hotel pool, and the ability to see a few boats. The quality of the Hilton, also, was less than desirable, and I have photos showing this. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience given the timing and lack of communication regarding changes to our reservation. Not only was I inconvenienced at the last minute and forced to scramble to secure a hotel, but it took time away that could’ve been spent with my family before leaving. Not only does this add to the already poor reviews GetARoom appears to have, but it also reflects very poorly for Kayak, to which I will also share my experience with them. I would hope after hearing about this experience and the additional costs we incurred due to location change that some sort of reimbursement/ discount can be applied to help remedy this.

Cons: Resort hits you with lots of fees

Cons: No one was at the elevator to the beach so anyone could use the pool and they did. It was ridiculously crowded with people not even staying at the hotel. I had the choice to pay more for a resort fee (35.00+10.00) for chairs on the beach except there were none. The bathroom door was a slider w a 2" gap along w shutters that faced the room which didn't close properly so little privacy in the restroom. The carpet was worn and rippled. The worst of it was the parking: 39.00 a day but at 9pm my partner was called into work. I wanted to return alone but they informed me I'd pay 39.00 + 25.00 for the time we had been there. 64.00 for one day is ridiculous. No self parking, so one is at the mercy of the valet Mafia. Never again. I am a Starwood member and have stayed at many of their properties but this was the worst experience I've ever had.

Cons: The bathroom in the room had a vented window that opens up toward the bed which does not allow for much privacy while using the bathroom

Cons: Cost of drinks.

Cons: $30 a day resort fee.

Cons: I don't like being quoted a price on kayak.com paying that price and then having to pay a resort fee when I get there....especially when I don't know what my $60 resort fee got me. There were towels at the pool. Was that it? Went across the street to the beach, we swam and layed on lounge chairs under an umbrella...then a hotel staffer sats we either need to pay... $20/umbrella or $6/chair....why did I pay $60 in resort fees and I can't use a chair? No airport shuttle and outright dishonesty on pricing. I may stay there again, but I'm never paying a resort fee with no benefits again.

Cons: Pool was too crowded. No place to sit and too many kids for romantic stay. Great for families.

Cons: For a young couple, we still paid about 2x as much as our kayak rental. It is $40 a day to park your car, and it's only valet, it's unlimited use of your car, but then you add tips. There is a resort fee not included, which is not too expensive. And we did choose to pay $25 extra a night for a view, which was worth it. Pool food is not great, and service is slow-- but go down to Las Olas for food and fun.

Cons: Housekeeping was awful during this trip. Safety was also a concern. A door leading outdoors was propped open, and when I came home after dinner I saw it open at the end of the hallway. I was alone, and felt scared.

Cons: No self parking and Valet was a bit to high in price.

Cons: Surpise $35 a day resort fee, super overpriced room service, and crazy overpriced gift shop completely ruined the experience for me. They will gouge you when you get here. Stay away!

Cons: There was no communication between staff. One person told you it was okay to do something and another person said it wasn't okay. They also charge you "service" charges and don't mention that means tip so you pay tip twice unless you ask.

Cons: Nothing! It was amazing!

Cons: - Broken elevators, so one had to go twice as long to get to the beach. - Unexpected $40 resort fees which did not even include beach umbrellas. - Lack of bathroom privacy in the room. Who in its right mind puts a window facing the room in the bathroom with only a small plank shutter. Overall this is a mediocre hotel at best. There are much better choices nearby like Hilton and W.

Cons: Expensive, resort fee, in-house restaurants served bad food and were very expensive, no close by family friendly cheaper food options, expensive beach chair and umbrella rentals, far from grocery store and other shopping

Cons: Easily the worst front desk staff I have ever dealt with. The guy that checked me in was a total jerk. He was snotty and not helpful. He wasn't helpful or kind at any point in my trip. Also. The parking cost is INSANE. Over 30 a night, and they tried to charge me twice.

Cons: Nothing.

Cons: I booked my room thru Kayak one month prior to my stay I called the hotel in advance to confirm. The hotel stated we had no reservation. I called Kayak third party and after 2 hours of speaking to more than 4 different departments I was told we are sorry the hotel was overbooked and there was nothing they could do. I called the hotel and they said they had rooms but at triple the price. Our trip was ruined and I will never use Kayak again!!!

Cons: Floor was dirty upon arrival, housekeeping did not clean the room at all even thought the floor was dirty upon arrival. They ration towels, 2 people 2 towels, not sure if there is a towel shortage or not.

Cons: Too expensive for the value. Rooms expensive; drinks outrageous. Awkward slotted bathroom door - no privacy. Did not close tightly - like you're still in the middle of the room. Very disappointed in being given a letter for 'complimentary' breakfasts, only to be charged $50 for them!!! What part of it was complimentary? Did not expect or request this! Tacky.

Cons: Right from the start the hotel shuttle was over an hour picking us up. Then we had to pay $9 per person cash to the shuttle driver, I've never heard of this at any Hilton Property. The drive was constantly on the cell phone while driving. The property is pretty worn out and needs renovation. We had an early flight out in the morning and asked if we needed to make special arrangements and were told no problem. In the morning we came down to get the shuttle and were told that the driver would not be in for another half hour. The did call us a cab and it arrived quickly and actually cost less than the $18 we paid the shuttle driver the night before. They don't have the normal Hilton breakfast buffet only breakfast cooked to order. We didn't factor in time for a breakfast cooked to order and there was no grab-n-go so no breakfast. I said I'd never stay there again and we had a reservation to stay again on a stop-over for our return trip. By the time I cancelled it was too late so we paid for a room that we never used. This hotel is hooked with the cruise lines and they cater only to them. don't even think about staying here.

Cons: Some of the guest was very noisy. Kept me up for over an hour one of the four night stay..

Cons: NO FREE WIFI FOR BUSINESS RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED BECAUSE OF BOATSHOW PAYED $50.00 TO MUCH THROUGH KAYAK

Cons: Staff, chaos at breakfast (which was fair at best), parking

Cons: Unfriendly concierge and charge you at every turn including$9 to catch the shuttle from the airport to the hotel. I'm pretty sure this is the only Hotel I've ever heard of that charges for that service. I'm pretty sure I'll never stay there again.

Cons: Pillows were uncomfortable, there was hair on the shower curtain and the wall, front-desk staff was very slow and had to wait in a long line to check in, airport shuttle was operated by a third-party and was booked /not available for the days we needed it (and was $8/person). The beverage choices were limited and were some of the worse drinks we’ve ever tasted. There was no waitstaff in the restaurant, so the hostess was forced to cover all tables, therefore the service was limited.

Cons: While the hotel is close to the airport, it’s not close to much else. The neighborhood is not very walkable, and I really did try! The hotel was a tad noisy and the walls are thin. The free breakfast provided was bountiful, but low quality, ie, no whole grain breads, no dairy-free alternatives. I could just barely see the ocean over a view of the large AC unit, a shopping plaza, and giant gas tanks.

Cons: Parking and wifi are not included but cost an extra fee and are not cheap. We opted to pay for both and the wifi was NOT high speed but did work.
