Amazing breakfast
Many travelers have been very pleased with the early morning breakfast supplied by the Embassy Suites Fort Lauderdale-17th Street. The atmosphere is a busy one, with the breakfast area full of guests, which some say is a sign of a very popular area. Nonetheless guests leave breakfast feeling like they don't have to eat until dinner.
positive:
Warm reception
There are a number of visitors who come back year after year, and according to them they are greeted with a warm reception each and every time. Service is good every time, and many guests know the manager and staff by name.
positive:

Negative Reviews
negative:
A little street noise
If all you want is a good night's sleep, then ask for a room that is as far away from the street as possible. Some guests have commented that, although it is not too bad, there is some street noise that could disturb your sleep.
negative:
A little stain here and there
Some rooms have been reported to have the odd stain on the carpet, or a little yellow stain in a bath here and there. Guests who have reported these unwelcome marks to management have been pleasantly surprised to receive super-fast service in having them removed.
negative:
Smoke in all the wrong places
There are some rooms available for smokers at the Embassy Suites Fort Lauderdale-17th Street; however this does create a situation where the smell of smoke tends to drift along the passages to the rooms that are reserved for the non-smokers. If you are a non-smoker try to book a room on a non-smoking floor.
