Hotels near Banyan Pilot Shop, Fort Lauderdale

Considering we received an ”upgrade” and the employee being very nice is the only reason this is not a 1 star review. We arrived late, around 11pm on a Friday night. We retrieved our key from the lock box and we're greeted by an employee who saw us thru the window. He came outside and immediately knew who we were. He was very welcoming, said ”Happy Anniversary” and explained how to walk back to our room. We we got to our door, the code we were provided did not work. We walked back to the front of the building to ask for help. He met us around back and gave us a different code which did work. In the dark of night and us rushing to shower and change for our dinner outting, we did not notice the ”imperfections” of the room. We returned at about 1am and went straight to bed after showering (there were only 2 towels which causes us to dry off with wet towels). The a/c never brought the temperature of the room down cold enough for a good night's sleep. We are early birds so we woke up some time between 5am and 6am. Our plan was to enjoy the resort for the entire day before heading out. As we turned on all the lights and began getting ready to head out for coffee, we decided to look out of the window at the pool. This is where we discovered the stick that opens the blinds was broken - no biggy we did it with out hands. While enjoying the view of the sand floor covered pool, we notice blood splatter on the window blinds. This triggered us to open our eyes and look around the room. We discovered blood on the second window blinds, mold on the bathroom walls, holes in the walls, unknown stains on the futon, and many misc scuffs, scratches, and paint chips throughout the walls in the bedroom. We were generally disgusted by this and decided to just leave. We gathered out belongings and went to check out. There was no-one inside and the door was locked so we just left our key and departed. I had booked this reservation thru a travel service and reached out to them about the situation. They contacted the resort and received a response saying ”the room is up to standard”. Therefore confirming that blood on the windows, mold in the bathroom, and holes in the walls is a standard for this resort. If that in fact is a standard they are proud of, it should be advertised as an amenities on their resort profile to advise guests who may not consider sleeping next to the blood of previous guests as a ”standard” for a $200+ a night room.

This is the worst experience I have ever had when booking a hotel on Ctrip.com. Stay one night in Fort Lauderdale and board the cruise the next day. I didn't get a good rest at all that night. I was woken up by a knock on the door at around 1 a.m., and it became quiet after that. I thought someone might be having fun over the weekend and knocked on the wrong door. Half an hour later, I was frightened by the overwhelming knocks on the door. I felt that the hotel was on fire. I jumped up and opened the door while thinking about what to bring with me to escape... When I opened the door, I saw a man and a woman who claimed to be hotel security guards and wanted to check our passports. At about this time, The residents next door and across the door opened their doors and poked their heads in the door. During check-in, our passports have been shown to the counter and copied. Why do we need to check again in the middle of the night? We explained the situation, and the man called the intercom and talked to the hotel for a while, and then said it was okay. I asked what are you doing? He said it was a system problem that had nothing to do with him and left without saying sorry. She was so frightened that she lost all sleep. She went downstairs to the counter to ask what happened. It turned out that someone with the same name also checked in that day. Even so, the middle name was different and the order number was also different. She got the door password on her mobile phone. Fortunately our door was locked and she arrived at night; she could come in when we were out. The hotel was so arrogant and harassed in the middle of the night without even a word of apology. I will never visit this hotel again!

I took my daughter on a mother daughter trip. We stayed only 1 night. The hotel staff went above and beyond. They were so incredibly helpful! They allowed us to check in early the day we arrived and even allowed a late checkout the following day! They were so helpful getting the free bike rental, even brought a toothbrush to my room when I realized I had forgotten mine. Amazing staff. This hotel was cute, very close to the beach and not to far to get to shops. We didn't have a carso we walked or rode bikes everywhere. It's an older hotel, the floors have not been updat, but the beds and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.

If you are looking to stay at one of the best places in Ft. Lauderdale- look no further. This Hilton lives up to its name between the cleanliness of the rooms, halls, pool, lobby and spa. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, always smiling. We were greeted and welcomed back every time we came and went wether it was by car or on foot. They did have some elevator issues during our time there, but were fixed rather promptly and did not put a damper on our stay. The location couldn’t have been better for us. Across the street is the beach and if you make a right down N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd and walk about 15-20 mins you will hit some of the best restaurants we’ve ever eaten at. Live music every night and more outdoor dining then I’ve ever seen, it just makes you feel so alive! We recommend Spazio, it’s a bit further down the ***** but we went back twice it was so good. There’s a CVS not too far from the hotel on that same ***** that has any essentials you may have forgotten or if you’d just like some snacks/alcohol. My husband and I got a couples massage in the Hilton’s Spa, it was fantastic! We ate breakfast at Ilios (inside the hotel on floor 6 by the pool) the food was to die for. They have outdoor, indoor and at the bar dining. A few side notes, parking is expensive ($20ish a day) and I believe it’s valet only. The resort fee includes two bottles of water a day, two free hours for their bikes, yoga in the morning and you get beach chairs and towels. Umbrellas are an extra charge of $25 which is very expensive to me unless you really would like to be on the beach for hours. We only found ourselves using the beach chair services so the resort fees were a bit of a waste of money to us, but for how immaculate this Hilton is, it didn’t bother me. Last thing, I wanted something with a balcony so I booked the Ocean view. I was very happy with that but it was only a partial view so if you’d like a full blown view I think you need to book an ocean front. Overall, extremely happy with everything and I promise you Hilton & Fort Lauderdale, we will come back and see you soon!

Outdated facilities, especially the cold and hot water pressure is very small, the amount of water is large, uncomfortable! Breakfast is good. The location is excellent. The room is quiet.

I had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel front office manager even upgraded my room because I felt like the other one had been smoked in. The staff in general is very friendly and professional. The valets were awesome and quick, quick quick. On top of the incredible service the oceanfront location and pool cannot be beaten. B Ocean was beautiful

I had such a great experience here at this hotel! The workers are absolutely the sweetest people ever, nuno and rolph were the the most respectful and kindest people to me. The service there is so helpful, quick and has quality food. Over all my experience was wonderful and I would 100% recommend coming here.

The hotel is very clean, very close to the airport, and the service staff is very friendly. Normally, check-in should be after three o'clock in the afternoon. I arrived at the hotel in the morning and the room was ready at around twelve o'clock. like!

Rented a bed for the first day of a week's stay. Justin's help was extraordinary. Made sure I had all the towels needed and any other extra amenities that could be offered. Really kind help. I will add that being a Hilton Diamond member does not offer you a lot of extras in this area. But I would recommend making this a treat during your stay.
