Unsafe, Dirty, and Misleading - Avoid This Hotel
I recently stayed at the Fort Lauderdale Grand Hotel, and my experience was extremely disappointing. From the moment I arrived, the parking lot and surrounding area felt unsafe - people loitering, visible drug activity, and individuals soliciting sex. The neighborhood itself is known for drugs and prostitution, which made me constantly uneasy.
The room was filthy. There were stained sheets, mold in the bathroom, and a musty odor throughout. Floors were slimy, fixtures rusted, and basic housekeeping was inconsistent. The cleanliness of the hotel is far below acceptable standards.
Noise was a major problem. Loud parties, shouting, and disturbances continued throughout the night, making it impossible to rest. On top of that, there was no visible security, and staff were indifferent when issues were raised.
Hidden fees added to the frustration. I was charged additional resort and cleaning fees despite poor service. The hotel also felt misleading - online photos show a clean, modern property, but the reality is outdated and poorly maintained.
Overall, my stay was stressful and unsafe. The combination of unclean rooms, lack of security, loud disturbances, and a shady neighborhood makes this hotel unacceptable. I strongly recommend avoiding it and finding safer, cleaner accommodations in Fort Lauderdale.
