Granada Inn — Hotel in Fort Lauderdale

The most disappointing thing about this post is that it is my first negative review ever in all of my years on tripadvisor!!!!!||Having booked the penthouse suite for 2 couples way back in June of 2018 for 2 nights for January 10-11 we were surprised to get an email in October saying there had been a computer mix up and we were being relocated to the Beach house. We were not really pleased as there were many negative reviews about the beach house. Reluctantly we agreed. ||We arrived late at night in Jan and as promised the keys were waiting for us in the mailbox. Upon entering the house we had difficulty locating lights. Switches didint work which we found out the next day was because many of the fixtures needed light bulbs.||Its late so worry about that in the morn. The place is charming and cozy and the beds are clean so we figure lets relax, check emails and watch tv . next disappointment- tv and internet dont work. We will have to get that looked after next day as well. Disappointment #3 - no electricity in the bathroom we were using! We look every where but cant locate a breker box.Now after being punted from our original booked room which had great reviews we are starting to find this a bit much. In the morning #4- the house needs a really good cleaning- I can write my name on the glass dining room table and I do! we are not impressed but we are reasonable people so we take our concerns to the office(in another hotel next door). Have to go twice but by now whatever.||Things get fixed in the afternoon the next day. ||In former emails from the hotel we had asked about booking a taxi van the night before we check out to take the 4 of us to the cruise port and are told no problem we can do it the day of. Heavy sigh, no taxi van available the morn we need it. Taxi driver even asks us why we didnt book a van. He gets luggage in the trunk but has to use a bungee cord to secure the trunk.||Lastly when we check out and request a discount for all of our issues especially accepting the move from our original reservation we are denied! Told so sorry. Guess being the reasonable ones shouldnt have been...

Most of the positive reviews are from years ago.....but..... When we stayed at LaCasaDelMar in March of 2022 it was no longer as described! Room was shabby with frayed or broken items, dresser that I needed to line with towels to avoid splintered wood and dirt in back corners, and lacking basic items. There was no toilet paper roll holder, nowhere in the bathroom to hang or place personal items, and a stand on only one side of the bed. The air conditioner was in poor condition and turned on and off VERY loudly, constantly. Spring breakers interrupted our sleep most nights even though the hotel says they "don't allow partying." Worst issue was the kitchen. It had almost nothing in it to cook, serve or eat a meal with....and a refrigerator that was completely NOT functional. After we complained about the refrigerator being dirty and the freezer being completely frozen shut we were told they might be able to help the next day. Since we had groceries to put in it, we cleaned the refrigerator and chipped the ice out of the freezer in order to put away the food we brought (because the room had a kitchen!). By the next night, the freezer had again frozen over and we couldn't even get the door open! Let them know....and Another day later a worker came and removed the fridge, replaced it with a small apt. sized one without freezer. Needless to say, all the food we purchased was ruined! Either frozen into the freezer that we were not able to get into, or dripped on or frozen in the fridge. We were told that day "the owner will make it right." That was 7 weeks ago and NOTHING has been made right!!! We asked for reimbursement for the lost food and instead got billed recently for MORE than we owed...

I rented this apartment in Fort Lauderdale for Memorial Day weekend with my mom and daughter, and it was an absolute gem. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bathroom was well-stocked with essential toiletries and plenty of towels for all of us, and the kitchen came equipped with the basics, including a microwave and toaster—perfect for quick meals.

One of the biggest highlights for me was the included parking. This is incredibly rare for beach rentals in the area, where you're usually charged extra per day just to park. Having it included in the price was a huge bonus. We were also pleasantly surprised by the sofa bed—super comfy and roomy enough for two people to sleep well. The pool area was another plus: clean, quiet, and very family-friendly. No loud music or parties allowed, which was a blessing and something I’ve struggled to find in South Florida rentals. The price is unbeatable for what you get. As someone who has rented many beach apartments, I can say with confidence that this place offers incredible value. I’ve officially found my go-to spot in Fort Lauderdale and plan to return every weekend I can. The location is perfect—less than 50 meters from the beach. There's a CVS about 600 meters away, ideal for picking up essentials or even fresh fruit. And just a block away is Casa Playa, a restaurant that quickly became our favorite. Don’t miss their fried snapper or skirt steak—both were delicious. Highly recommended for families or anyone looking for a peaceful, well-equipped beach escape at a...
