Close to the airport
Unfortunately on Jan. 01st (our checkout day), the 24/7 coffee machines were out of the order. There were 2 coffee machines and both were not working. We were waiting for the breakfast lady to fix the machine till 6:45 am. Not only the four of us, many other clients were waiting for . I’ve asked for some breakfast itens to go (a bag with yogurt and fruit they promised at the reception) by email and at the check-in day. It would be great to have a refund for the 4 of us, due to the unavailable breakfast 24/7 coffee machines and breakfast bag for early check-out. The refund would be totally applicable to the situation.

The staff were wonderful, it was clean! Our entire experience was nice!!
The only thing I didn’t like was that our blankets were not clean, I had to go down to the desk to ask for clean comforters, but the attendant was wonderful about replacing them.

Great for an airport hotel. Good facilities available while waiting for check in time.
Staff appeared grumpy and unhelpful. Should smile more and make an effort to welcome guests. Cleaning staff were really friendly and polite unlike reception staff.

Clean and staff were great helping set up rides and holding our luggage till we could check in.
Breakfast was a disappointment. The Jimmy Dean bagels with sausage and egg were greasy and tough, not good to eat.

This is the second time we used this hotel for staying the night before our cruise. It’s a good location for the port. Good value and they updated their breakfast options which made this feel so much better value. The property is very clean and updated which makes this a must stay. And the beds and pillows are comfortable. The hotel seemed full but it was quiet and we didn’t hear any noise disturbances.
We did notice in our room that there was quite a bit of scuffs on walls and our bathroom shower door was missing part of the handle so it couldn’t close properly. This caused a lot of water to escape the shower. As well our room had hard sticky stuff on the table and the cushion where you put your suit case. So a little bit of deep cleaning was needed for our room.

The staff was friendly, professional. They were some of the most helpful stuff I have experienced in quite a while . Five Star All The Way . The breakfast was very good . The breakfast room was very clean I'm not familiar with the Fort Lauderdale Market but I did think the prices were high for the accommodation . But that just might be Fort Lauderdale
The shuttle driver was very sweet and very helpful but the music he was playing when he picked me up was a bit intimidating. It would be a higher score for him if he played instrumental or something like that. Just when he picks people up.

The property was clean and the staff were very pleasant. The hotel offered very good coffee and average breakfast. The room was clean and had comfortable beds which resulted in a pleasant stay. We also appreciated the free airport shuttle.
The hotel was not very soundproof. Our room was on the side adjacent to the highway and we could hear the traffic. Fortunately, the slightly loud AC drown out the traffic noise. That being said, we still had a nice nights sleep. The price of the room was quite high, but comparatively priced to other similar hotels. There also was a minor issue with the flooring

We did not have the opportunity to enjoy your wonderful breakfast as our flight was an early on so we departed Avid at 5 a.m. We like the staff, room, and location. Room was in a quiet location of the hotel. Only wish we could have stayed longer.
Upon checking in, we inquired about the free hotel shuttle to the airport at 5 a.m. We were informed that it began at 7 a.m. but the hotel could arrange a taxi for us at the "hotel's cost". Great and very nice of the arrangement. the next morning when we came to arrange our ride, we were told that the hotel "did not have that policy"! Oh well. We called for a Lyft ride to FLL airport. Avid's Hotel needs to communicate with one another.

The room was spacious, the bed was amazingly comfortable, it was quiet, free breakfast was a plus.
There was no microwave in the room, which wasn’t a major issue. However, the room had a noticeable smell of smoke. When I mentioned it to the front desk, they explained that the outside vents are connected to the room, so if someone is smoking nearby, the smell can enter. The staff suggested I keep the bathroom fan on to help with it, and that solution actually worked well. Also, the bathroom is beautiful, but water gets on the floor even with the glass door closed, so make sure to put a towel on the floor when showering.
