Spacious Suites and Great Vibes Near Fort Lauderdale

Modern, apartment-style comfort meets convenience at the Residence Inn® by Marriott® Fort Lauderdale City of Plantation. Located next to the Broward Mall and just 25 minutes from Fort Lauderdale Beach, this laid-back hotel offers generously sized suites with full kitchens and free Wi-Fi—perfect for concert-goers who want space to unwind. With easy access to downtown Fort Lauderdale and major music venues, you’ll be close to the action without the chaos.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans love this hotel’s relaxed atmosphere and quiet suburban setting, making it a great spot to come back to after a high-energy night. Flexible check-in at 4:00 PM and check-out at 12:00 PM gives you the wiggle room you need after a late show. You’re just a short drive from Fort Lauderdale’s top venues, and the location near major roads means late-night rideshares are no problem.

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up with the daily hot breakfast, a welcome treat after a night out. Each suite includes a full kitchen, making late-night snacking easy, and you're steps from the Broward Mall’s dining options. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’ll find plenty of walkable eateries and takeout-friendly spots nearby.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is peaceful, you're just minutes from Fort Lauderdale’s nightlife scene, including bars, lounges, and live music venues. Prefer to keep it low-key? Enjoy a quiet drink back in your suite or relax by the outdoor pool and hot tub.

What People Say

Guests rave about the clean, spacious rooms, the convenience of having a full kitchen, and the friendly, helpful staff. Reviewers also love the location near shopping and dining, with easy access to the highway for getting to concerts quickly. The free breakfast and reliable Wi-Fi are also big pluses.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel is a bit dated in style, and that parking can be tight during busy times. If you’re looking for a high-energy party vibe, this may be a bit more laid-back than expected—but that’s perfect for some.

The Bottom Line

A quiet, spacious, and well-connected base for concert-goers who want to enjoy the show and come back to comfort.

This was an okay place...

Liked: After paying $160 a night and then having to pay for parking. The main issue is that the building/hallway to my room smelled like weed BAD. I noticed it the day we checked in and checked out. The other issue is that we had ants that got in our sweet treats we put on the counter in the kitchen. We did not cook anything while we were there, just had desserts in boxes and ants got in them.
Disliked: The hotel could use work on the inside and outside. The room size was nice and the room itself was not bad at all, nice having the kitchen even though we really did not use. I also was sleeping and felt something crawling on my arm and it was an ant.
