The alarm in the room was set for 5:30am from the previous guest. The staff should be checking that at room turn over. So this does not happen to people.

We had a two day stay at Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Ft. Lauderdale-Plantation by IHG. I was not aware of the $3 a day parking charge so it was nice of them to Comp this fee for our stay. The good: Location is great. The not so good: See attached photos of our room pretty self-explanatory. The property is in a serious need of a complete refurbishment and my observation is that the property is not being well maintained and as buildings get older this becomes more of a challenge in keeping them in good order. Lack of attention to housekeeping in our room: Housekeeping never vacuumed our room. After our housekeeping items that are normally replaced were not, specifically the plastic cups for water, the empty toilet paper roll was not replaced, The hand towels were left as is not replaced. I saw no card indicating if a “Green stay request…” no replacement is done so if you do want them replaced there is no way to let housekeeping know other than calling the front desk. One wash cloth was not replaced and a small towel was left in place of the regular size bath towel I called the front desk to have these items corrected it took about 30+Min to get them to our room. The towels were very rough not soft as if fabric softener was not used The window looking out of the room needs to be cleaned appears that it has not been done for some time. Tile in the bathtub wall had a crack in it and repairs to the bathroom and other walls were visibly apparent. No more chapters to continue

The property was beautiful! Theres alot of dining places near by which makes it easy to go for a stroll and dinner. Staff did give me a hard time and werent very understanding that my Canadian cards do not work there and wouldnt accept cash payment for the accidental deposit. I was basically told i’ll have to downgrade my room if i cant pay with a card or cancel my reservation if I couldn’t pay with a card and l do not live in America and do not have family there either which was very stressful. Youd imagine that because its a hotel, they would be understanding of such type of issues but basically being told l’ll have to look for a place to stay if i couldn’t pay $50 on a card was ridiculous and very upsetting. If I could’ve found somewhere else to go, I most likely would’ve

I’m not sure if it was a fluke but the rooms could clean better. Not leaving of previous occupants or leaving green residue on the shower head. Otherwise the staff that the front desk are very nice and welcoming.

Normally I can count on Holiday Inn, but after my last experience I don't think it will be a preference. The web site said it was completly remodeled a few years ago. So in spite of it's age I booked it. It is by far one of the dirtiest hotels I've ever stayed at. Really surprised it is allowed IHG brand. The dirt is just pushed up into corners of floor, windows filthy, bedspread wrinkled and dingy. Room walls are paper thin. Had to listen to someone apparenlty on their honeymoon all night long! Sorry for a bad review but this place is skanky.

I had no problems with the room itself. It was clean and well kept. I had packages sent to the hotel prior to my arrival and received all but one. Amazon tracker said it was delivered but hotel said they didn’t receive it. $30 down the drain

The room 221 needs some repairs: the lock of the door is not working. We just locked with the upper lock.something of security. The bathtub have some cracks. The ceiling above the tv was cracked and there was dust in the lower cabinet. Some usb ports of the nighttable weren’t functioning.
