  Don't rely on shuttle

  29 Mar 2026

  We stayed as a Day Pass (9A-4P). While there is nothing special about this place, our rooms were ready on time and provided us what we needed for the day. The pool is not designed well, but provided a place for kids to have leisure time. The bartender was very nice. We notified the front desk staff earlier in the day that we would be using the free airport shuttle at 5:30PM. They told us to just be in the lobby 10-15 minutes prior. That was fine since we were out of our room at 4:00PM. We were in the lobby for 1 hour. We walked outside at 5:15 because we hadn't seen a shuttle in a while and wanted to make sure we didn't miss it. At 5:25, the shuttle pulled up and let a few people out and then started to drive away. It stopped and my husband approached the passenger side window. The driver was on the phone, so my husband waited. After a few minutes, he gently knocked on the window to get the driver's attention. Instead the driver ignored him and drove away. We went to the front desk and she called the driver. The driver claimed to be in "lots of traffic" even though we just saw him and according to Apple and Google Maps, there was no traffic around. At 6:00PM, the same shuttle showed back up. The driver claimed that he was not aware of a 5:30PM pickup (even though we tried to get his attention and our names were down on the shuttle list at the front desk). Adrian Thomas, Sales at Maritime Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruiseport, responded to this review Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. I’m glad to hear that your room was ready on time and met your needs for the day, and that you had a positive interaction with our bartender.That said, I’m very sorry for the frustration you experienced with the airport shuttle. Waiting in the lobby for an extended period, then seeing the shuttle arrive only to be ignored and left behind, is understandably upsetting. I can imagine how disappointing that must have been—especially after confirming the pickup details in advance.The lack of communication and coordination you described is not the level of service we expect from our team. Your feedback has been shared with both our front desk and transportation teams so we can address these gaps and ensure clearer communication and accountability moving forward.We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we regret that this experience impacted an otherwise smooth day. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more reliable and seamless experience in the future.

  No service after 9 pm

  27 Mar 2026

  The hotel is ok in terms of appearance and infrastructure but lacks some basic service elements. For example, my television remote stopped working - probably the batteries - but the Front Desk was simply unable to cope with the problem. “Our maintenance man is gone for the day, sorry I can’t help you.” Not acceptable but pretty much in line with the overall decline of the Marriott brand. Pitiful really, so I spent the evening without television, consoling myself with the thought that, in the last analysis, maybe I was better off with a book! Adrian Thomas, Sales at Maritime Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruiseport, responded to this review Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m truly sorry for the frustration you encountered especially with something as simple as a television remote not being resolved. After a long day of travel, the last thing you should have to deal with is feeling unsupported or dismissed, and I completely understand how disappointing that must have been.The response you received from our Front Desk is not reflective of the level of care and service we strive to provide. Even without maintenance on-site, we should have found a solution or alternative for you in the moment. I regret that we fell short.Your feedback is genuinely appreciated and has been shared with our team so we can improve how we handle situations like this moving forward. We never want a guest to feel inconvenienced or unheard.Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and I hope we’ll have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

  Nice hotel, but noisy

  25 Mar 2026

  You will need car or uber. There is one place to eat in walking distance, and it was not really very good. The traffic noise from highway is pretty bad. I would recommend ear plugs. I liked the room itself. Nice little balcony. Refrigerator. Desk with power. Clean and cozy Adrian Thomas, Sales at Maritime Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruiseport, responded to this review Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the room, balcony, and amenities, and that you found the space clean and comfortable that’s always encouraging to know.At the same time, I understand how the location, limited nearby dining options, and highway noise could impact your overall experience. We recognize that convenience and a restful environment are important, and your comments help highlight areas where expectations may not always align.We truly appreciate you taking the time to share both the positives and the challenges, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even more enjoyable stay in the future.

  Good stay, nice hotel

  03 Mar 2026

  Hotel is convenient located near the airport. Decor was nice. Front desk was ok, maybe because we arrived very late and they were tired. Rooms were clean and nicely decorated. Breakfast was good, but service was very slow. There is a lot of highway noise at this hotel. For that reason, most likely I will skip this hotel in the future.

  I would stay here again- no major issues

  22 Feb 2026

  Some of these reviews are ridiculous. What do people expect for 250.00 a night? LolThe hotel is fine for a night before or after a cruise or layover. It’s not fancy, it’s basic and it’s clean and 15 minutes from Fort Lauderdale airport.It’s in an isolated location right off the highway and yes, you hear the traffic.The outside areas are nice for sitting by the pool and they have a koi pond and outdoor fire pits. I was told the airport shuttle runs every 30 minutes and you need to reserve your spot at the front desk. Adrian Thomas, Sales at Maritime Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruiseport, responded to this review Thank you for sharing such a balanced and honest review. We truly appreciate you taking the time to highlight your experience. It’s wonderful to hear that you found the hotel clean, convenient, and well-suited for a pre- or post-cruise stay.We’re glad you enjoyed the outdoor spaces, including the pool area, koi pond, and fire pits — those are some of our favorite spots as well. We also appreciate you noting the airport shuttle details, as that information is very helpful for future guests.Your understanding of the location and value we aim to provide means a lot to us. We’re grateful for your support and look forward to welcoming you back for another smooth and comfortable stay in the future!
