Top hotels in Central Oakland Park
B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale Beach
Hotel was NOT what I expected based on reviews & photos. Looks and feels like a budget hotel. Looks ran down, not a well maintained property. Multiple power outages during the first night of my stay (ended up transferring to a much better hotel). Beach and pool area are just OK, not nearly as nice ...

Red Carpet Inn Airport and Cruise Port Hotel Fort Lauderdale
Not a fan I hate staying at places and it smells like cigarettes. Doesn’t look clean, needs a paint job, blowdryer didn’t work, door could hardly open, curtains looks old with a hole in it. Not a fan will not return.
