Motel 6 Fort Lauderdale, FL

Fast to get there from the airport, clean rooms , shopping mall near by.

Lots of negatives but there’s potential! This place was like a Frat house! Noisy at night into the wee hours even with earplugs. People were at the pool after 2am. The doors of the rooms are almost 1” off of the floor so you literally hear everything! My bathroom didn’t have a door and there was an annoying flashing light in the bathroom. I opened my curtain one morning to see the view of the pool ( which is very nice) only to see a lady passed out high with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. Days later the same lady was in the lobby passed out/sleeping while standing up. The staff seems to know her because they left her there until she woke up and referred to one of them by name. They seem to have rules but they do not enforce them. The rooms looked like dorm rooms but they’re kept fairly clean. I would not recommend especially for families or if you’re looking for peace and quiet. The staff were friendly and the place has potential but they have to first enforce their rules and fix the doors.

While the price was reasonable, this hotel was not what we expected. We booked a double queen room and were given a double full. The room was non smoking but the smell was so heavy that we were worried our stuff would smell the next day. My kids were joking about getting lung cancer. It was somewhat affordable and convenient and we only needed 8 hours to crash before a flight, but it was a little rough.
