Nice staff, beds not bad. If you have a dog... why not. They take dogs. TV works. Room in main hotel that was booked they said was not available... we got pushed to another building... Daily: we can hear everything in all the rooms beside and above...kids screaming, dogs barking , people talking and walking above you at all hours . Room was on first floor next to office on main walk way... could not open curtains unless you were comfortable being on display..we were not... Maybe a higher floor to have some privacy and use of your window? Water in bath had good pressure. Window AC and no sign of heat...it dropped to the 40's for 3 nights and was cold. Cold air leaked in everywhere as all of the windows are 75 yrs old, not operational and several attempts to caulk them shut...unsuccessful in the leak department. The neighborhood was nice... would stay in the area again.... But will check out the room before accepting. Shame on Hotels.com for misrepresenting this hotel. Depending on the room, time of year and budget...it may be palatable. Our experience was "meh" and not "yuck" only because we we were out every day at activities and that was great fun and being with family. read more

I've stayed at this hotel a few times, and have had good experiences both times. This hotel isn't like a stereotypical high rise hotel, but instead is a two story hotel conveniently located just a few block walk away from Fort Lauderdale beach. The rooms aren't extravagant but are nice enough and get the job done. They do have a hotel pool available to use too, and the prices here are pretty reasonable as well. We would stay here again. read more

Came here with a travel group as part of a hotel takeover with 50+ couples and our stay was good. Here are the pros: The location is only about two-three blocks from the beach. They have pretty ample parking and they give you a parking pass. There are two pools - one is heated and one is not. Both pools were very clean as well as the grounds. There is a hot tub but it can only hold maybe 10 people at a time. There are a few different room choices as there are two different buildings on the same property. We always opt for a suite on the back side of the property and it is a fairly large room with multiple closets, a large living room with a large flat screen tv/dining area/kitchen with a full size fridge, a glass top range and a microwave (not sure if there was a physical oven). The bedroom is also of a good size with a large walk in closet, a king sized bed and a decent sized bathroom. The rooms are very clean, the air conditioning, hot water and toilet all operated without problem. They provide large sized bottles of shampoo-conditioner-body wash in the shower on the wall. They have a community grill and a community bar area if you are hosting a party or having a meal gathering. Here are the cons: There is no on-site management as you have to go across the street to their other location if you need to speak to someone during business hours. There is no public bathroom near the main pool and thus you have to go back to your room f you need to use a restroom. There are two main entry gates with a third that is permanently locked. The side gate near the main parking lot often either did not lock or when it did lock it was jammed closed thus causing persons to forceably push the door to open which was a cause of concern for security reasons. They are in need of another ice machine as the ice machine was often out of ice and thus many of us resorted to purchasing bags of ice and storing them in our refrigerators in our rooms. They had very few lounge chairs and no beach umbrellas like they had in the past and thus shaded seating was hard to come by near the main pool. A few times we had to ask staff to empty trash cans as they were often full. In our room neither of the tv remotes worked. Our bed was a bit precarious - while we had a king-sized mattress, it was on a smaller box spring and pedestal more meant for a queen bed so we had to be careful getting on and off the bed. The maid staff never checked the shampoo-conditioner-body wash in the shower and thus near the end of our stay they were all empty. Our bathroom sink had a slow drain and would clog a bit when running the water. Also the floors were often dirty/dusty and we had to wipe our feet on a towel before getting into bed. Granted it is a older hotel which needs upgrading and needs a bit more attention to some details but despite that we would stay here again. read more

HOTEL FROM HELL Checked in off the pictures on line. Looked great. Furthest from reality. Broken light over bed. Shower window with clear glass over the shower. (I was on the main level). Spoke to management 5 times over 36 hours to cover to no avail. Ended up covering with a dirty pillow case that was left on the room. No garbage pails in the room. Very outdated. (1980's furniture) Toilet tissue holder mounted under the bathroom sink Dressers have damage. Room needs to be power washed and painted Noise levels unbearable at night. (Police were called by others) Parking, which has an additional charge is scarce. Finally spoke to Dawn, the manager. Although she says she didn't say so, I am quite certain I was told I would have my first of three nights credited. TOTAL credit was $73. Would rather go back home than stay there again.​ read more

I would post a 0 if possible. The shower had 1 temperature and that was scalding hot. The hair dryer had a plug that was broken and I think if plugged in would have caused a fire or electrocuted someone. Parts from the refrigerator had mold on them. After a week of trying to talk to someone about it i finally got a person to reply and was told the items were corrected and thanks for staying. Next time I will stay elsewhere on the beach. read more

Winterset Hotel - Resorts Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I used to stay on this property years ago and thought it would be nice to return. Well I should have closed that chapter. The guest room I stayed in was out dated, furniture stained, no closet doors with nails exposed, and just generally felt unclean. The office staff were nice enough and thought perhaps I should have seen another room. So in an attempt to escape my room during the day, I wanted to sit by the pool. Not happening. I think there are 8 lounge chairs on the entire property and this morning all were taken by people waiting to check in. This afternoon literally there were 6, all filled. When I asked the housekeeper, her English was terrible and so my request went understood. Never again. read more

Great little boutique hotel about a two block walk to the beach. My girlfriend found a deal for just over $100 Dollars a night we stayed for eight nights. Access to three different pools on the property less than 30 steps from our room. Saved money using the in room kitchen for meals. The hotel staff was very pleasant at the front desk including the housekeeping ladies. The next time we come to the Ft Lauderdale we will definitely look into staying here.... if you looking for fancy this is not the place. But if you looking to save money and enjoy a vacation spending money on fun things. This might be the place. read more

This place has a great value. I got the upgraded room with the kitchen but all the rooms seemingly have a fridge and microwave. The rooms with the kitchen are a lot more spacious than the rooms without. There's a few pools within the property and a jacuzzi. But the over all look of the property is decent and peaceful if you like quiet. My only complaint is the floors are a bit dirty as if they sweep but don't mop and the bathroom looks a little dingy but other than that this place was ok. It also doesn't like as nice as the photos online, but it still looks decent. In the event I come back to Fort Lauderdale I would book this place again. read more

Stayed at the Winterset in January 2020 and enjoyed my studio suite. Nicely appointed, immaculately clean, with fresh towels delivered everyday. Just 2 blocks away from the beach, it offers charm and privacy and feels like a private bungalow. And the staff aimed to please. No matter the request, it was answered promptly. My suite was on the second floor and there are no elevators but staff was eager to help with luggage. Highly recommend. read more

Buyer Beware!!! This "village" has multiple properties under the Winterset name and the pictures of the rooms on the website most likely will not be the one you wind up with as was with me. My college efficiency had more character, class, cleanliness. Although it is only blocks away from the beach it is about a mile away from any decent restaurant or bar. The Television and WIFI did not work. The AC felt like an elderly person with emphysema wheezing from the window shaker. I would not recommend for anybody especially since there are many other boutique type hotels right on the beach for a similar price. read more

I booked this room (King suite) on Expedia for just over $100 a night. That should've been my clue. The staff was very friendly so they are not to blame and the exterior grounds look well kept. The reason for this rating is the condition of the room. As soon as I entered the room I was overwhelmed with the smell of bleach. There is no carpets in the room so it is very cold. The rooms are large but empty. The air conditioner was a window unit that constantly went on and off. The bathroom was a disaster with peeling paint, black "something" around the windows, broken tiles, and the shower head coming off the wall. read more

Great old school mom and pop style resort hotel with nice modern rooms, very clean and affordable close to the beach and next to great food.

Stayed here for three nights during a 'staycation'. The rooms were updated vintage Fort Lauderdale, clean and within walking distance of several North Beach restaurants and the beach. I would stay again. Easy on-street parking with permit. read more

The best part of our stay was the tour we got from Steve Gonley who works for North Beach Village Resorts which owns the Winterset -in our book he is the "Honorary Mayor" of North Beach Village where the Winterset is located. We met him at the local restaurant and he took us on a tour of the entire area. He was generous with his time, very informative about places to go. Provided lots of information about the area and was kind, friendly and lovely--- to the max! Truly a special person who made our trip to Fort Lauderdale very special! My mother and I stayed in a double with a kitchenette at The Winterset. The room was clean, the beds were super comfortable and the hotel was in a great location. I would recommend it to anyone! read more

This is not a place for spring breakers or for anyone in general. The rooms are really poor quality mine has a strip of pointed tacks walking into the bathroom. The entire hotel staff treated my entire family like trash. Their rules they gave before we stayed there were awful. If you lose a room key then you can't get another or else they will make fun of u and just treat u like a lesser person. This entire hotel is a piece of shit. Spring breakers- don't bring a speaker or else they will try to kick u out or make u pay more money if they see it. Don't stay here if you enjoy life. Shitty rooms, shittier rules, and just terrible workers. Do not come to this hotel. read more

I really enjoyed the simplicity of the studio room. Nothing on the walls except a large mirror and a simple area rug in the bedroom. The bed was a king sized memory foam mattress and the towels were fluffy and new. I only stayed for one night but it was the perfect crash pad. Just a few blocks from the beach/downtown bars and an easy 15 minute drive to Port Everglades. Good water pressure, coffee set out in the morning by the office, and a pool (if it wasn't rainy and cold, I'm sure it would've been a great place to hang out). I called ahead and let them know I had a late check in and they accommodated me nicely. Only downside: Thin walls. I could hear the conversations from the room next door. read more

this hotel was one of the worst hotels i have ever stayed in. first, we walked into the room and it smelt musty, next my grandparents had to go to the bathroom so they walked into a small dangerous step down to the bathroom and almost fell. they kept tripping and my grandpa was bleeding . they should at least put some caution tape because it won't make the room less appealing it was already a disaster. the bed i was sleeping in had a hole in the sheet and it was very out dated floor and there was a plastic table with hair on the chair. in the dangerous bathroom there was some black stuff around the window and the shower handle along with a old toilet that barley flushed and a door that had wood planks in the doorway. i went swimming in the pool shortly after we checked in and the pool was nice, but the smell of chemicals was overpowering and my eyes hurt like hell after i got out of the pool and my vision was foggy. thankfully now my eyes are fine but this hotel is trash by the was i don't have any pics because we complained to the office and they relocated us to a nicer hotel in the chain. thank god read more
