Great stay for the weekend. I needed a place to stay while visiting my grandparents. Motel 6 Fort Lauderdale popped up on booking and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. My grandparents are literally up the street. The check in was quick and easy and the staff was very easy going friendly. I would recommend to any one

Probably one of the fanciest motel 6 in the country. Located near the beaches and with poolz very pet friendly! Reasonable priced. Very minor things that needs to be taken care of like flickering lights.

There have been some changes since my previous stay 3 months ago. The marijuana smell in the rooms and hallways is gone. This time I had a room with a microwave which made it more convenient, so I would recommend.

Our flight from a cruise was cancelled Feb 22nd and again February 22nd. We ended up leaving on the 27th. Jose helped us get settled and was fantastic, My Grandson and I was very grateful. Later Victor helped us out with places to eat and many other questions. These 2 men made a crazy situation so much better.

My stay at this hotel was absolutely perfect from start to finish! Ms.Nicole is a fabulous woman!! Ms.Nicole went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. She greeted me with the warmest smile, gave great local recommendations, and even followed up to make sure I was comfortable in my room. The hotel itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had a relaxing atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The service, cleanliness, and attention to detail were all top-notch. Thanks Ms.Nicole

The receptionist was absolutely wonderful. My family members are truck drivers and were extremely tired when we arrived. She was so sweet and understanding, and she made sure we got a room quickly so they could rest. Her kindness and helpful attitude truly made a difference for us. We’re very grateful for her support! Thank you so much - Tiease

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Motel 6 Experience Thanks to an Incredible Team! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I stayed here for a week and had such a great experience thanks to the amazing staff. Nicole, the manager, truly went above and beyond to make sure everything about my stay was easy and comfortable. She was always kind, professional, and genuinely cared that I had everything I needed. Michael, Richard, Victor, and Nikki were also absolutely awesome! Each one of them made a big difference in my stay — always greeting me with a smile, checking to make sure I was doing okay, and going out of their way to help whenever I needed something. You can tell they all take pride in their work and really care about their guests. They made my week here a total breeze, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Huge thank you to the whole team — you all made me feel welcome, safe, and taken care of the entire time. Highly recommend this Motel 6! I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town.
