Tru By Hilton Ft. Lauderdale Downtown

“Beat stay when on vacay!”

This is one of the best hotels we have stayed at. The facilty is modern, very clean, comfortable and the breakfast is incredible, unlike some.places where the breakfast is not much to speak of. The breakfast here was hot, much to choose from and fresh. Lavazza coffee to boot was a nice treat.

“The Digital Key Was Useless but the Staff (Mostly) Made Up for It”

This ended up being our favorite hotel stay in downtown Fort Lauderdale, even though it started off a little chaotic. Around 1pm we got a text saying our room was ready, so after lunch we headed over because we were DONE dragging luggage around town. We got there around 2ish only to find out there was a system update happening, and unless you already knew your room number… you couldn’t get into your room. Meanwhile our digital key in the app spent the entire stay saying “digital key on its way” like it was being delivered by carrier pigeon 🫠 We sat in the lobby for about 30 minutes hoping it would eventually load before giving up, doing a bag drop, and heading to the Riverwalk instead. When we came back around 7:30pm, we were finally able to check in normally and get upstairs to shower. Now let’s talk about the REAL MVP of this stay: Kiki at the front desk. We had a bunch of leftover snacks and sodas from our previous hotel/Walmart order, so we brought some down to her and she was SO excited and appreciative. She was friendly, outgoing, helpful, and honestly exactly the kind of personality you want greeting guests at a hotel. Later I went downstairs asking for dinner delivery recommendations. Unfortunately the older woman working the desk at that time was… not nearly as welcoming. Not rude exactly, just very cold and not particularly helpful. The difference between her and Kiki was night and day. So naturally I waited a little while and went back down hoping Kiki was there 😂 And she absolutely delivered on recommendations—we actually ordered from TWO places she suggested because we couldn’t decide. The next morning another front desk employee was also super helpful and recommended Hatch for breakfast, which ended up being amazing. She also gave us an extra hour for checkout with no issue, which honestly worked perfectly since my girl was moving a little slow that morning 😅 It let us leave straight for the airport instead of wandering downtown with luggage. One thing I wish we had more time for was the actual hotel amenities. The outdoor pool/bar area on the 4th floor was BEAUTIFUL. You can walk all around the outside deck area through the gates and it was honestly a really nice setup. Overall, despite the rough check-in situation and useless digital key, this would absolutely be where I’d stay again in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Would I stay again? Definitely.
