Overview
The Candlewood Suites Ft. Lauderdale Airport/Cruise receives mixed reviews. While guests appreciate its convenient location near the airport and cruise port, along with the 24-hour shuttle service, some experiences have been less positive. The shuttle service is a highlight for many, but significant inconsistencies are reported, with long wait times and instances of missed pickups. Rooms are described as clean but showing signs of wear in some cases. The hotel offers kitchenettes in its suites, useful for longer stays, and guests have noted on-site snack options and nearby restaurants. However, several reviewers have experienced issues with the shuttle's reliability and some issues with room maintenance.

I was on a one night stay before my cruise. The room was clean but a notch down regarding condition. The carpet and upholstered chair were worn and felt dirty. Could use new towels which were somewhat thin and worn. The room had a kitchen but the counter was dirty. For the price of the room, I expected a bit better. Overall, I liked the fact that they had a 24 hour shuttle since I arrived at 1a. They also offered a cruise port shuttle for $15pp. I liked that they had a little store offering frozen food to heat up in your kitchen. They also had kitchen appliances to borrow if you were sticking around to cook for yourself.

My family and I, had a fantastic time at CandleWood. It’s like our second home. We always felt at peace, comfortable, quiet, cleanliness, smells great, Whenever we traveled that’s the only place to be. The staff are superb, professional, kindness, and hard workers. We would definitely go there next time.

The toilet and sink were glued back together. And the smell of weed was in the hallway . There was some sort of club next door where the music started before 7 am on Sunday morning. So had I not rebooked near the airport I would have not stayed . Next time I will spend 300plus a night in a nicer area.

Shuttle from the airport took over 55 minutes to get to us. No apology just excuses. It is a busy time. Not acceptable.
