Oyster Hotel Review
Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport
Scene
Good value chain hotel popular with business travelers and transit passengers
The Holiday Inn has the typically uninspired decor of a chain hotel, with a spacious open-plan lobby that leads to the breakfast room. The decor has a few funky touches, including orange accent walls and blown glass art pieces. Opposite the wooden front desk is a small area with sofas and a flat-screen TV. Next to the desk is a small shop selling snacks and toiletries. The majority of guests are business travelers and transit passengers who need easy access to the Fort Lauderdale Airport.
Location
