Hotel Review of the Days Inn Hollywood/Airport South in Ft Lauderdale, Florida

Try finding a hotel for under $200 per night in southern Florida during high season (Nov-April). Go ahead. Try. Especially with no reservations. It can happen, but it's difficult. Luckily, I'm here to tell you exactly where to find one. The Days Inn Airport South is just such a place. We paid $139 per night there, with part of that being added on for a room with both a microwave and a fridge. It's really a much better room than we though it would be.

Our room had two double beds. These are actually fairly comfortable mattresses and neither of us had any trouble sleeping on them for the week we stayed at Days Inn at all. I could do with a better quality spread than the polyester thing, but that's minor, innit?

The TV is the standard RCA 19 inch with the full boat of cable channels available. It sits in a blonde wood bookcase thingy above the 3 dresser drawers and sided by the shelves holding the micro, dorm fridge, and 4-cup coffee maker. About coffee makers in room… well, more so the stuff they leave with them: Why oh why in bloody hell do they use those pre-packed sets of cream, sugar, stir stick, fake sugar? That is such a waste! I use tons of cream and sugar. I do not use fake sugar. So all that fake sugar goes into the trash when the maid cleans. Would it not be more cost-effective to just leave out individuals of everything so we can pick and choose what we want without having to toss the extras? Yeesh.

Anyways... There is a bench for suitcases with enough room underneath for several pairs of shoes, a full-length mirror (YES!), and a small sink area for doing my make up while he's in the bathroom. That's a plus in my book.

The bathroom has a decent sized tub/shower combo with nice adjustable pressure. The hot water is plentiful, but does tend to fluctuate temperature occasionally. The toilet is too high off the floor though. Really. I felt like a little kid in there! I'm 5'2" and my feet did not touch the floor when I sat on it. Very odd, that.

There is a cheap desk against the window with free high-speed Internet access, which works like a charm. This is accessible both via wire connection or wireless. It's a nice clean signal.
