Pros:

Close to the beach

Cons:

Linen was stained when I arrived, the deposit was too much and I’ve been to 5 star hotels with cheaper deposits. I was there for 5 nights and my room was cleaned twice.

Great hotel and location with wonderful staff
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Sonesta! We went for vacation and a birthday. Check in was a breeze with Andrea, we got a great room that looked out over the ocean and the hotel was quiet in a great location of Fort Lauderdale beach. Andrea and Edlet at the front desk were so nice and helpful. Sophie, Raj and Monica in the hotel restaurant were so fun, kind and very helpful. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Great location for walking to grocery stores, shops/restaurants and the beach. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!!

Bad experience
Pros:

Close to the beach and place of work

Cons:

I recently stayed at this hotel for a quick business trip and was thoroughly let down by the lack of basic amenities and indifferent staff. From the moment I pulled up, things felt off.
Valet parking was the first red flag — $45 per night, which felt extremely expensive for what turned out to be average service. They were slow to retrieve my car the next morning, and I had to wait over 20 minutes despite being one of only a few guests checking out.
The real frustration came with the luggage situation. Upon arrival, there wasn’t a single luggage cart available at the entrance. When I asked the front desk for one, the employee just shrugged and vaguely pointed toward the elevators. I ended up wandering around three different floors like an idiot, dragging my heavy suitcase and carry-on up and down hallways before finally locating one tucked away in a service area. No one offered to help, and no apology was given when I mentioned how ridiculous it was.
Customer service overall felt nonexistent. Staff seemed disengaged and unprepared for even basic requests. Check-in was slow, and simple questions about amenities were met with minimal effort responses. For a hotel charging these rates, I expected at least competent and attentive service — not this level of inconvenience.
The room itself was fine (nothing special), but the poor first impression and lack of support really soured the entire experience. I won’t be returning and would caution others to look elsewhere unless you enjoy self-service chaos and expensive add-ons. Save your money and dignity — there are better options nearby.

The Best Experience
Pros:

The most incredible experience I’ve had since arriving! Everyone at Sonesta was welcoming and always greeted us with a smile. Andrea, Paula, and Kihan were exceptionally kind, helpful, and made everything easy to understand from the very beginning.

The food was amazing—delicious breakfasts and some of the best burgers I’ve had. The bar staff Andy y Patrick were also incredibly friendly and provided outstanding service throughout our stay.

I would come back a thousand times without hesitation. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Enjoyed our time and Michael was a God sent. All staff was polite and professional
Pros:

Michael Edward was very polite and knowledgeable. He assisted myself and my 5 elderly friends making us feel secure and safe. He is a asset to this hotel. If he is here I will return
