Steep parking fees.
While many guests who have been here appreciate the valet parking services provided by the hotel, a few have complained that the parking fee is a bit steep, though most acknowledge it's within the ballpark for the parking fees charged in the locality.
negative:
Can be noisy at times.
Sonesta Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel is fairly popular with wedding couples. Many of these prefer to have their festivities in the penthouse. The resulting noise can be heard in the adjoining floors.
negative:
Frequently overbooked.
The popularity of the hotel, unfortunately, also means that it's frequently overbooked. A few guests have reported being switched from ocean-view rooms they had booked to non-ocean view rooms, which to them was a deal breaker.
