The room was clean and tidy. I did not encounter any staff. The instructions were on spot. It was a fair price in a very expensive area for lodging.

It was very comfortable. Everything was clean and neat. Bed was big and i slept perfectly. Only thing is that there was very cool weather and in late night cold wind would come in from the windows, since they were not sliding windows. Other than that, everything was very good.

The staff was very friendly. The rooms are quite outdated, but the one main negative was that my room did not have heat and temperatures at night were in low 30s a few nights, so the room got cold. I did message the office and they said they would bring extra blankets but the maid service never dropped them off, so I mentioned it again and the day it actually started warming up the maid service dropped off an extra blanket. The location is very convenient for beach access.

The room was clean but a bit shabby and very humid. There were no washcloths or hand towels. The room was large, with crisp linens on a comfortable bed. There was a large TV, ample storage closet, safe, mini fridge and a nice little dining island. The pool was empty, the guests next to me smoking weed was quite smelly and it happened to be 1°, so the humid room was also freezing cold. Could have been much better, but it could have been worse also.

The motel was ok. The biggest issue people may consider as a major deal breaker is that there is no security features on the door other than the standard lock with a keypad on it. No dead bolt, no chain. The rooms were clean, beds were decently comfortable. We had two king rooms on our reservation. Both of them had queen size fitted sheets stretched over the edge that fell off every night (because they weren’t the right size). The pool was definitely not clean or ready for anyone to swim in it. The photos were extremely misleading about that. We stayed for 3 nights and had absolutely no maid service at all. For the price we paid/night there should definitely have been maid service. The hotel is clearly a budget hotel, but without the budget price. I would not stay at this hotel again.

Easy walk to the beach and all of the bars/restaurants on Ft Lauderdale beach. Clean room, and easy check in. The woman at reception was awesome, checking in to see if I needed anything and even let me check out at noon due to my late flight. Love the Fortuna!

If I had known the pool was going to be closed the whole time I would have stayed elsewhere.
Housekeeping lurked outside my room for 1 hour before check out which I found to be weird and as if I was being rushed out before the designated check out time.
Good place to stay if yours just looking for a room to sleep in

The room was not what was pictured at all. It smelled like roach spray. It was very small. There was one power surge extension plug in. The tv wouldn't turn on at all. We didn't get any clean towels and staff was never at front desk the 2 days we were there to ask for any. No one came to take trash out or sweep room during our stay.

Room was ok, not great. The lock on the door was problematic and the pool was closed (empty) so I could not swim.

My experience at Fortuna Hotel was unacceptable.
I arrived late on February 5 and the property uses self check-in. From the moment I pulled up, it was immediately clear that the exterior looked nothing like the photos advertised online. The property appeared poorly maintained and gave a very different impression from the listing.
Although the room itself appeared technically clean, it had a stark, institutional feel — dim lighting, worn finishes, and an overall atmosphere that was unsettling and nothing like the welcoming images presented on Expedia. The discrepancy between the listing photos and the actual condition was significant.
I did not feel comfortable or safe staying there and left shortly after entering the room. I was forced to find alternative accommodations in the middle of the night at additional expense.
I contacted the property immediately to request a cancellation due to the clear misrepresentation. I was told someone would follow up. It has now been over a week. Despite multiple phone calls and emails, I have received no response whatsoever.
The listing photos do not accurately reflect the current condition or atmosphere of this property. Based on my experience, I believe a refund is justified. I would strongly caution others to review recent guest photos carefully before booking.
