Sonesta ES Suites Fort Lauderdale Plantation

Generally praised (multiple mentions of 'very clean' and 'freshly clean') but some notable negatives (weed smell in hallways, cockroach sighting, and missed housekeeping for several days) lower the score slightly.

Staff frequently described as friendly and kind, with several positive notes; however there are service failures reported (poor check-in handling for under-21 guests, front desk unpleasantness, delayed room servicing) that moderate the rating.

Strong positive sentiment about location and proximity to shops, markets and restaurants; multiple reviewers explicitly highlight 'location superb' and convenience.

Rooms described as spacious, comfortable and well equipped (two-bedroom setups, appliances, hot water), though isolated issues (cockroach, noisy old AC) prevent a perfect score.

Mixed impressions: pool renovation and on-site gym/laundry are positives, but problems reported with dryers, no ice machine, unclear package fees and occasional lighting/parking concerns reduce the rating.

Several reviewers note a good cost-benefit and satisfactory price relative to experience; isolated complaints about deposits/fees impact perception but overall value is seen as strong.

Breakfast repeatedly praised as excellent/well managed and fresh, though some mention limited variety/repeat selection on multiple days.

Overall stays are described as nice and often exceed expectations, with positives around cleanliness, staff and value; however recurring service and amenity issues (deposit disputes, dryer/housekeeping lapses, occasional security/smell problems) temper the overall score.
