“The Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port Hotel caters primarily to cruise passengers and business travelers seeking convenience near Port Everglades and the airport. While aiming for a resort-style feel with its tropical-themed outdoor pool and on-site dining, some aspects require attention, particularly in guest room maintenance. I think it's a suitable option for short stays where location trumps all else.”
