Granada Inn

The pool isn't heated and was rather cool, but sitting outside around the pool was a relaxing treat.

Great little place in excellent location. Cottage-like room - very nice & spacious, with kitchen and dining table. Some things could be upgraded (bathroom) and the mattress should be replaced by a pillow-top, but otherwise, was a lovely place that we really enjoyed.

Quaint art deco style. My Jr. suite was spacious and very quiet. Entire property needs refreshing but location is excellent.

Very clean but could not get hot water to work in the showers

Fantastic location to access the beach. Rooms are very dated and showing age big time. Beds are almost done. The pricing is what attracts people.

Close to the beach , place was a little old fashioned

Check-in was difficult as office was closed and we had to go to office next door, reach someone through an intercom to find where our room key and instructions had been left. Areas of mold/mildew in bathroom. Only one chair in the room, and it was too rickety to sit on. Definitely did not deserve the rating it had been given. Will not stay again.

Stayed there for one night. Our room was spacious, clean, comfortable bed, and a nice kitchenette. We enjoyed hanging out on their rooftop deck. The pool was a little cool for our 12 year old daughter, according to her. Excellent location to the beach, restaurants and shopping.

Easy access to beach, beach chairs and towels provided to take to beach. Pool was not clean, room was comfortable and clean.

Our room didn't have carpet, which we love, never know how nasty the carpets are. People were friendly, very clean, well taken care of. We are coming back to stay for a week instead of 2 nights. We just loved it. The only problem and it was my fault, was we were upstairs, my wife can't climb stairs, it was also a last minute booking and only 1 room left as per Expedia. So next time we will plan this out and make sure we get a bottom floor. We loved it here and going back!!! Please don't hesitate to book. Like old Florida. Thanks Granada Inn. Was a great time.

Todd, the on-site manager, was a pleasure to deal with. Very clean place.

Nice, little inn very close to the beach and Las Olas area. Walkability was great, even in the cooler, windy weather. The room was super clean. Unfortunately we didn't have time to enjoy the pool or patio areas due to time constraints but it looked welcoming and clean, too. The only "issue" we had was not knowing if we'd be towed or not overnight because we didn't receive a parking pass for our vehicle at check-in. We returned from a night out and noticed there were "tow away" signs all along the parking area, so that was a little nerve-wracking to leave it to chance. At check-out, I let the employee know and he was apologetic and gave me a parking pass for next time.

Quiet and quaint, we wouldn't stay anywhere else when we visit Ft. Lauderdale.

I was in Fort Lauderdale to attend a conference but did not want to pay conference hotel high rates. I chose this hotel because it was closest. It is a smaller hotel so ecpectations for business travelers should be realistic. On the plus side: nice staff at the reception, pretty outdoors setting with comfortable chairs and small swimming pools, next to the beach and close to lots of family type restaurants. On the minus side: small room and my bathroom could use an upgrade soon. Smaller things also are overlooked like no cups for drinking coffee and no water glasses. If arriving at mid day, it may be difficult to figure out how to get to the reception. No business like services

Grounds are nice, room was OK, check in was disappointing. We arrived early and were told our room would be ready by 1 p.m. We came back at 2pm and it was not ready. So they gave us another room which to my understanding was not a nice as where they planned to put us, but was what we paid for.

It was a fun trip location was perfect and short walk to beach and food.

We loved the location. And privacy of the hotel. Very comforting to be staying in this hotel. I would love to come back and stay longer.

Excellent location. Facility is dated, air conditioner very loud, but for rate and location, acceptable. Staff accommodating and friendly.

Great location, great staff! Walk everywhere, Duval street is a 3 minute walk away.

The roof terrace area was a real bonus.

We lounged around the pool sunning our selves which was nice and quiet. There are many high end hotels on the strip which are very expensive to stay. If your budget minded and not looking for anything fancy it might be worth looking at this place.

This was a great surprise, we arrived early and the room was ready. The hotel is old but the room is cozy with fresh paint and nice linens! We will return, the hotel is a 1/2 block from the beach and a quick walk to 10 different restaurants. The pool is cute and nice and clean.

Our room was fine just for two nights. Air conditioner was hard to manage for comfort and there was no bathroom ceiling fan.

friendly, courteous and helpful staff.

Good stay in this older property it met all our needs

Everything was ok. Don't think I would return. I think I could find a better place at similar price.

We found the staff to be very friendly and welcoming. We also met a couple of other guests that were also friendly. Some of them had been coming for years, a good sign. The courtyard around the pool as well as the roof top patio were very nice. The pool itself looked very inviting but unfortunately it was unseasonably cold in Fort Lauderdale so we didn't get in for a swim. All in all we had a good stay and will be back.

Great couples get away. Very cute and private. Will definitely book again.

This hotel was very nice, quite, clean and convenient location to the beach. the staff was very friendly and helpful during check in and check out. I would visit again soon.

We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay at the Granada Inn. From the moment we walked in and received an immediate upgrade (unprompted) until the moment we sadly had to leave we loved the amenities. The gleaming tile floors and comfortable decor has an old world charm. The two beautiful pools were a welcome respite from the hot sun. They even provided beach chairs for our jaunt to the beach. Our suite had everything we could have possibly needed. The pièce de résistance was the rooftop lounge. From here we reclined upon a comfortable lounging bed, sipped wine and watched the technicolor sun disappear below the horizon only to be replaced with a glowing orange moon.

Quiet and Close to Beach & Dining

Older building but redone inside nicely. Great location and parking for going to the boat show, easy walk to main entrance. Would definitely stay again and recommend!!

If you like small, quaint and friendly places to stay, you will love this one. A block from the beach and within walking distance of many restaurants. Very clean, and a nice little pool and lounging area. My husband and I would love to return for an extended stay!

1 box from the beach without fees. Very secure, gates locked. Right behind the Westin Convention Center. They had a few chairs to use for free which was nice. Room11 a was large 1 BR apartmemt. Bed wss comfortable. Lou and Michael were great.

Enjoyed this little hidden tropical oasis! Loved our accommodations and the location of the Inn is close to many things! Staff always helpful and accommodating! Booked another date to go back and relax!

Not on strip, which is great, literally 1 minute from the beach. Quiet, peaceful, clean, great staff. I loved this place definitely stay again.

The location was perfect for walking to the beach.

Hotel was close to beach, dated but clean. Bed not very comfortable. Pool was not heated. Was great they had beach chairs to borrow ... loved the beach! Many things are oin need of repair... especially the noisy fan in our air conditioner. Had a great area upstairs with lounges.

This is a small hotel with a great location and free parking. The outside pool/sitting area is inviting and cozy. The rooms are small and need a good paint job and updating, especially the bathrooms. We have stayed here numerous time because even though we are not too impressed with the rooms we love the location.

A good hotel with a great price, we love the rooftop with chairs, beds and a grill, perfect for tanning and have few beers, super friendly staff

The hotel is very basic. Don't expect extra service. The room is generally quite but there are very loud noise coming from motor and pumps when they work. The room is very basic but still its a reasonably good value for the price.

I've stayed here now 3 or 4 times and have found it to be a pleasing experience. I don't really need the amenities of the nearby large hotels and prefer this as a nice alternative in the same general area. Walking distance to the strip and I even walked over the bridge to our holiday party at Chima on Las Olas - very pleasant walk!

I travel for business a good amount so staying at this resort was a breath of fresh air. The staff is awesome, very friendly and helpful. The location of the resort is ideal. Walk about 600 feet &-your standing on the beach. The pool areas (there are two) are clean & beautifully surrounded by mature lanscaping. The buildings are mature as well but kept up & very clean &-functional with latest amenities. The furniture is older but in good shape. The mattress on my bed was top of the line & comfortable. I slept as good as I do at home. The sofa in my room was firm and comfortable too. Not all smashed down and worn. My room also had a full kitchen which was clean, & in good shape. The perimeter of the resort is gated & you need a key to enter. A nice security feature. So if you are looking for a great place to stay in a great location for a great price this is it. Like anything else in this world one size don't fit all. If you require the high end sterile commercial cookie cutter hotel this isn't the place for you. Stay at the Westin that is literally 250 feet down the road. You will pay at least double the price, Get the typical big hotel service, room, bed, & amenities. For me & my family the Granada inn is ideal. They get my business everytime, hands down. The staff here truly understand what real customer service is. & they aim high to please

Excellent location with a very friendly and helpful staff.

Small friendly affordable hotel, in a handy location. Two minutes from the beach and five minutes walk along the waterfront to many places to eat. Also handy to the Sun Bus (tourist bus) route, which is a cheap way to get around.

GREAT LOCATION FOR THE BEACH BUT THE PLACE IS DATED- BED UNCOMFORTABLE AND AIR CONDITIONER LOUD.

We've stayed there several times and have never been disappointed. The hotel is comfortable and the staff is friendly. It is a gem, tucked away in a quiet area, but only steps from the beach, shops and restaurants.

I didn't expect it to be such average, 'low-quality' it was like a low budget motel. Never again. ...

Great Location, Clean Pool, Nice Room Size, Very Clean Property

The location was excellent. Liked the small courtyard with pool which was quiet and cozy. The room was fine but did have a musty odor which affects how you feel about the space. Also at night it was very quiet. The availability of beach chairs and towels for use on the beach was great. Very easy parking. Late check in was a problem as no one was there.

Even though our trip was cut short from Snow Storm Jonas, our stay was amazing. The staff are so very kind, we can not wait to go back.

1/2 a block to the beach and several eating & drinking establishments within a short walking distance. It was close enough to all of these things, but the location on the short street was far enough away so noise wasn't a factor. They were kind enough to let us check in early upon our arrival post cruise. Employees were friendly and accommodating. Not a bad place for the money. We would stay there again.

The Westin is right next door, but I would definitely book my stay at Granada Inn again!

We stayed in Room 9 - a "Junior Suite," according to their website. The room was very clean, comfortable, and spacious with 2 queen beds, a kitchen area, a dining table, and a large closet. The pool was beautiful and the rooftop terrace was the perfect place to enjoy the sunshine while getting some work done. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the internet worked well throughout our entire stay. We loved staying here and hope to be back again in the future!

This place pretends on some websites to be something it is not. We had booked the 3 bedroom penthouse which on arrival hadn't been cleaned properly - hairs in the shower and on sheets, kitchen grubby with oil spills down the cupboards, the oven was disgusting, drawers dirty, cereal on the floor, couches stained and had a surface of sand on them. And they had the nerve to charge us a cleaning fee on exit which wasn't refunded. They sent in 3 cleaners the following day and it was still not clean enough - no excuse for that. There have to be cleaner places to stay in the area and cheaper!

Approx 1 block from the beach. Lush, tropical landscaping around the pool area.The rooms are very small but tastefully decorated. The front desk staff are very friendly and accomodating. The parking is VERY limited & you can only park 1 vehicle per room ( which is not made clear when reserving online)

Excellent value, service and accomodations

Hadn't realised when we booked the hotel that it was classed as Gay friendly. However, that wasn't a specific problem for us, as all the staff and guests were polite. Hotel is only a 2 minute walk to the beach front, but tucked away down a side street away from the traffic and noise. The hotel reception is only manned until 6pm, so if you have a late flight back to the UK as we did, we had to retrieve our luggage before 6pm. We could have made use of the outdoor facilities by the pool after 6pm, but as it had rained, the seating was all wet, so we arrange an early taxi to the airport. Although the hotel was pleasant, I think I would book a more mainstream hotel if we were staying in Fort Lauderdale again as they would more likely offer some changing facilities prior to travel back to the UK.

We have stayed here 2 times now. It's part business/part pleasure. My wife and I love the neighborhood and the Inn, we feel totally safe here. It's less than a block from the beach. The people at Granada Inn are friendly and helpful. We made friends with some of the guest last year and some were back this year, it was good to visit again. We are already planning our trip for next year, but upgrading to a larger room. Can't wait!

Friendly service and great location although room a bit tired. Long wait for hot water to reach the shower, but plenty when it arrived. Good value and would definitely return and recommend to friends.

This is the fifth stay at the Granada Inn!Our suite was a large one bedroom with a full kitchen and two television sets!The rooms are always spotless and the bed was very comfortable!For $240 a night during the high season,including parking,and only one block from the beach ,this is a steal!Very charming grounds and helpful staff!Only minor negatives were not very hot water at times ,slight problem with the toilet,and weak free internet!

I will list the items to be covered: 1. The facility is dated in the 50's; it really had not been updated. 2. There are two facilities; as mentioned by others; that which could pass for a Bed and Breakfast if they served breakfast; and a 50s era motel that has not been updated. a. The room they first showed us had a horrible musty/dead animal smell. That was in the motel property. 3. They did move us to the original building next door where we checked in. 4. That is also very old; somewhat updated with new bathroom fixtures, paint. The furniture is ancient but somewhat quaint. 5. The facility is immaculate; room and bathroom. The towels are fresh and new. The closet is quite large. a. Not a real ironing board but a mini that one places on a table b. When we mentioned that the automatic lite that would lite the outside steps was not working they said they knew. There is no elevator; the only way to get up to your room day or night. The WiFi is a router sitting outside on the porch; basically a residential/small office unit. When one checks in you are asked to initial a waiver of liability clause; never saw this in my road warrior experience. The management is pleasant. The office closes after 6:00 pm. When we checked out at around 7:30 am to catch our flight; the office personnel was just arriving. In short; if you are used to old motels; this location will be attractive. If you are used usual modern, moderate to more upscale facilities this is not for you. We really felt we had stepped back into our childhood during our stay; that is what things looked like in the 50's. Not what we were looking for or would expect from a bed and breakfast. From other ratings; some like this type of environment. In my opinion most will not.

Friendly helpful staff upon arrival. Offered free upgrade to suite. Private courtyard - short walk to beach. Use of beach chairs to take to the beach. Fully equipped kitchen - huge 4 room suite. Would like to return.

Very nice experience. Clean and comfortable. Pool area well maintained.

I loved the location of this small, quiet, well-kept hotel - about one long block from the beachfront, but quietly tucked away. Lovely plantings, nice decor (except for some cheap furniture - drawer already broken when I arrived), friendly staff.. These are two adjoining properties, and I actually ended up staying on the Casa del Mar side. Two nice pools, a lovely rooftop terrace on the Granada side. I had been traveling for a month and was looking for a peaceful chance to snooze and get back into the right time zone - this was perfect. I made meals for myself, sat out and drank wine in the poolside area, didn't have to go out at all unless I wanted to. Nice to find a homey place in the midst of the giant hotels that have taken over what used to a be a low and low-key beachfront last time I was here (oh - lets see - 35 years ago!). A few small cons - my room could have used a lick of fresh paint - marks and stains...room servicing was minimal - small crumbs from food prep still on the floor after they left. But overall a really relaxing and attractive porperty.

Great location, rooms extremely clean its old but one of the few 3 star Hotels I would recommend.

No dining was offered. Our suite had a full kitchen.

I loved everything about the hotel. Conveniently located to everything, clean, super friendly staff and fellow guests, a block from beach, beach chairs available, nice private pool, cozy clean rooms. As a solo traveler, feeling safe was very important to me; I loved how you could only access through a locked gate. My only VERY MINOR piece of constructive critisism - coffee, cups, utensils, shampoos were not replished on a daily basis. I had to remember to ask each day. Other than that - absolutely perfect! I will stay again and again and again!

The place was, clean, quiet and with extra security. The grounds were cozy - not the stark feeling you get from other motels nearby. The beach was a five min walk with restaurants and bars within short walking distance. I stayed at two other places for the same price - one of them being right on the beach, but this one was by far the best of the three. The adjacent motel is owned by the same people allowing access to either pool and sitting areas as an option. I would definitely rent from them again. Cons: Wifi could be slow at times and even though it's listed as a B&B, there was no breakfast ...or coffee .

My stay was great! I was traveling alone and felt safe at this Inn. The people that work are very nice and helpful. Great place to stay.

Great location and was good for two days. Location, location, location.

we have stayed in some super expensive hotels over the years with all the extras, but The Granada Inn was the best - heads above all the others. It was quaint, rooms renovated and very clean, staff was polite and helpful and all the other guests were so friendly. Safe and secure, freel parking right outside the courtyard, had to have a key to get inside the courtyard. I don't think I've ever felt so safe in a motel before, even the expensive high rises. Will definitely go back, was less than a block from the beach. Very relaxing and just what we were looking for. The owner is on the property every day and lives very near the property. Front office staff friendly and helpful. LOVED LOVED LOVED it Can't wait to go back.

We originally booked two nights and enjoyed the hotel enough to stay another two nights. Close to Las Olas and close to Ocean Blvd and the beach. A relaxing atmosphere around the pool.

Very close to Ft Lauderdale beach and all the restaurants and nightlife. Very clean and well kept. Nice pool area.
