First off let me say that the W hotel is a beautiful place
I really enjoyed the location, I really enjoyed the fact that the hotel had accommodations for working out, multiple pools, restaurants in house. Because we went to Airbnb we stayed on the residential side of the hotel, so we did have to walk over to the hotel side to get accommodations. It was a bit confusing at 1st but easy once done a few times. Even the valet cars were amazing but overall the customer service to Maria and the Airbnb team with executive stay was amazing. I would stay here again however I do think that the air conditioning was a bit annoying popping on and off every two minutes. The reason it was annoying is because it makes a clicking noise and it sounds as if someone’s coming to the door. It made me jump a few times, and although I’m happy the place has air-conditioning this luxury unit must have a better way. The first night I stayed I had to take a cool shower because apparently the hot water needed to run for 10 minutes before getting hot. But I never had a problem after the 1st night. The bathroom sink was clogged, which was annoying because as you’re brushing your teeth and spitting into a sink you don’t want to see spit and water sitting in the drain. What are the problems I did have with the unit is that we stay here for six days, and we definitely went to the grocery store and plan to cook. However, there were there were barely any forks knives and spoons that were clean. There were a few and they needed to be washed. So we found ourselves not wanting to touch the dishes. I think this problem can be solved by simply by a sterling silver $20 set at Walmart or even cheaper on Amazon. Overall the unit was clean however there was only one washcloth and that made it inconvenient. Would like to have at least two. The reason I will stay here again is because location is amazing however one of the reasons I wouldn’t stay here again is because for the amount of money you pay along with being charged for Florida taxes which equaled out to $250, on top of resort fees that also equal $250 as well as pay for parking in valet which equal $40 a night. We ended up paying $2100 for the Airbnb plus another $387 once we arrived. So all these little things matter to me because for this amount of money I could’ve won out of the country however Fort Lauderdale is a beautiful place I just don’t think the accommodations match the price. So for that I’ll probably pass on staying here. One more thing, the pool hours sucked, they close at 6 PM every day even on the weekends. I traveled with my kid so after we left the beach we had to hurry and try to get to the pool before they close, a lot of people visiting complained about the hours. The front desk staff said it has always been sunset that the pool close but it would be nice to have it be open a little longer even if it’s 8:00 PM. As I’m typing this the air conditioning keeps coming on every minute and a half and I have to say this is a problem that definitely needs to be fixed, the clicking noise is very uneasy while trying to sleep or get work done, and it just seems unnecessary to hear every few mins. The whole sale staff was nothing short of amazing and they made to stay a lot more bearable. If I could get the same hotel room for half the price I will stay here, before what they want to charge along with extra added fees it’s just ok. I expect excellence when paying the amount of money unfortunately that’s not what I got.
