Hey everyone,

I wanted to pass on some information separate from the trip report thread for this property. The Hilton FLL is being razed in favor of the new runway at FLL. The official date for closure is April 1 and this news has been known for a long time.

The issue I ran into last week was that they have already taken the parking ramp down forcing all to use valet at $22 per day. It allegedly has been on their website but for many of us business travelers that book through 3rd party corporate sites, this was not visible to me and having stayed there many times, I assumed the ramp was still being used.

Not only is the cost for valet high, the volume of cars makes getting out in the morning a challenge due to delays. I waited up to 30 minutes for my car last week.

It will be sad to see this old property go but with the upcoming demolition, they have really let it go downhill. Fitness center is almost empty due to them not replacing old equipment and all other maintenance is non-existent. Because of this, the desk team is getting ravaged with complaints and have mailed it in. They don't care about anything or any requests you have at this point.

As a corporate property, I would think they would try to keep standards and operations up to par even with the upcoming demolition.

I will not be staying here any longer.
