Red Carpet Inn Airport and Cruise Port Hotel Fort Lauderdale
The room was okay and you hear people outside it doesn't have any noise insulation at all. The bathroom door wont lock. It was a nice stay due to great service of the staff. Shuttle to and from airport, shuttle to cruise port was easy.

The Sunny
The room was nice but the bathroom needs a vent, hooks for towels and a shelf in the shower. Also it was freezing in that bedroom and I could not regulate the thermostat. Housekeeping took forever to come and there under construction and it was loud at times with only one elevator in use
