An abysmal experience. Though the hotel is located in a great location with seemingly modern aesthetic - the service and attention to guests has been lacking. It is not a 4-star hotel by any stretch. Especially at $400/night, we certainly expected more. Issue 1: We checked in to a room with a broken A/C. We asked the front desk for support multiple times and they sent an engineer over two times. Neither helped the situation. Instead of checking in to see if the issue has been resolved, we’ve had to complain ourselves and endure 2 nights (out of the 4 nights here) in a sweltering room. We have since been moved to another room but unpacking our things, to repack, to unpack again is a huge inconvenience; especially if only here for 4 nights. Issue 2: No apologies given by the front desk and quite frankly, indifferent attitudes about the A/C situation. There were a couple of staff members who have been friendly but it seems to be hot & cold. Issue 3: Service at the restaurant is great (friendly staff); however, sadly, both breakfast and dinner have not been great. Food is mediocre at best. Cocktails were decent however. Issue 4: My husband and I have been working remotely from here and a fire alarm went off in the middle of a meeting. We ran out when we heard the intercom say, “exit the building, don’t use the elevator.” After running out and exiting the direction-less and confusing stairwell, alongside another elderly hotel guest who couldn’t find his way either, and finally making it to the outdoors/street level — we asked the valet staff what happened and he simply told us it’s a false alarm. At no point - did the hotel announce that it’s a false alarm. We did what we were told to exit the building, just to find out that it wasn’t necessary at all. Lack of communication and unwillingness to find solutions has been the overarching theme of our stay.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the exquisite Hotel Maren Ft. Lauderdale, and I must say that it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly and professional desk clerk, Kassandra, who truly went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The first thing that struck me about Hotel Maren was its stunning architectural design and luxurious ambiance. The lobby was tastefully decorated, exuding a sense of elegance and sophistication. The check-in process was seamless, thanks to Kassandra's efficient and warm demeanor. She took the time to explain all the amenities available to us, including the hotel's top-notch dining options, spa services, and recreational facilities. Unfortunately, during our trip, we encountered an unexpected hiccup when we realized that one of our bags had been left behind in an Uber. Feeling a bit flustered and stressed, we turned to Kassandra for assistance. Her calm and reassuring manner immediately put us at ease. She promptly contacted the Uber service, providing them with all the necessary details, and tirelessly followed up with them to track down our lost bag. Kassandra's dedication and commitment to resolving our predicament were truly outstanding. She stayed in constant communication with us, keeping us informed of any updates and progress she made. Her attentiveness and genuine concern for our well-being were deeply appreciated during what could have been a stressful situation. Furthermore, throughout our stay, Kassandra consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism and exceptional customer service. She was always available to answer our questions, provide recommendations for local attractions, and ensure that our every need was met. Her friendly and approachable nature made us feel like valued guests, and her attention to detail truly exceeded our expectations. In addition to Kassandra's exceptional service, the Hotel Maren itself left a lasting impression on us. The rooms were impeccably clean, beautifully furnished, and provided breathtaking views of the surrounding area. The hotel's amenities, including the state-of-the-art fitness center and the serene rooftop pool, added to the overall indulgence of our stay. The dining options at Hotel Maren were equally impressive. The on-site restaurant boasted a diverse menu, featuring both local and international cuisine prepared with the finest ingredients. The quality of the food, combined with the attentive service of the staff, made each dining experience a true delight. In conclusion, I cannot speak highly enough of Hotel Maren Ft. Lauderdale and the exceptional service provided by desk clerk Kassandra. Her unwavering commitment to guest satisfaction, coupled with the hotel's luxurious accommodations, made our stay truly outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Hotel Maren to anyone seeking a memorable and indulgent experience in Ft. Lauderdale.
