South Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale hotel rooms at the Independent

"Alton, the front desk representative was incredible. Our room was clean and we were able to store our luggage and stay around the lobby/pool well after checkout then catch the shuttle to the airport. A perfect ending to our vacation."

"Always a nice place to stay with great service and great location."

"The room was clean. The staff were polite. The hotel’s location stood out. Don’t do it, but the port is within walking distance. There are a lot of food options around the hotel. The front desk staff will provide a list. If I’m cruising out of Port Everglades, I’ll definitely stay here again. "
