Amenities Terrible and Expensive - user review
My fianc acute; and I recently visited the Ft. Lauderdale area and wanted to stay on the beach. The Sheraton Yankee Tradewind was in an excellent location according to our research so we stayed there ($150 per night).

The Sheraton Yankee Trader, Fort Lauderdale.....Should Be Traded In For A New Model - user review
My recent visit here wasn't really necessary, and at the end of it I wondered why I had bothered at all. This quixotic hotel has a bit of an identity crisis. They make a general stab in the direction of being a 'resort...

Nice place to stay and great views! - user review
First time that we stayed at this hotel in Fort Lauderdale, wish it was not! Views were great, walkway to the beach and over the street! Service was fast and friendly, The convenience store in the hotel was very pricey, so make sure you get odds and ends out at the major drug stores in town! Pool ar...

I really enjoyed my stay at the Yankee Trader. Its in a great location (across from beach, close to Beachplace, bars and restaurants). The service was excellent. The first night they even sent up a card and a box of chocolates welcoming us. Most of the concierges were very knowledgeable. Whenever I ...

Underwhelmed - user review
I was underwhelemed by this hotel. The rooms are okay, but the pool area and adjacent beaches aren't that great. Parking is a bit awkward too. Rooms are good size, but simple features such as an overhead exhaust fan in the bathroom was lacking. The twin tower design is also a hassle if you are locat...

Still a good place to stay - user review
It had been a few years since I stayed at the Sheraton Yankee Trader. Although the Ft. Lauderdale beachfront is being rapidly transformed by massive new hotel facilities, the Yankee Trader still holds up well. Yes, the facility is aging, but they've upgraded the beds and other features to compensate...

The Best Rest - user review
Just like the commercial says, The best sleep ever... Staff was always friendly and more than helpful. If you can, plan on dining at another location. Both the restaurant and room service were delicious, but on the pricey side for the area. The in house market was very, very overpriced, pick up snac...

Not overly impressed - user review
My boyfriend and I chose the Sheraton Yankee Trader for a 5 night, 6 day spring getaway in Fort Lauderdale in the end of March. The hotel itself was rather out dated and needed some improvement. The rooms were decent sized with nice views. Ours was rather clean, though the decor and furniture were c...

I’d Gladly Return to this Hotel - user review
My wife, daughter and myself stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. It was very convenient to the beach (across the street) and the pool was nice as well. The front desk staff, housekeeping, and all other staff for that matter were very nice and helpful. I didn't like the $10 a day parking fee; the hote...

The hotel is an old structure and obvioulsy remodeled more that one time.

The business center not what I expecte...

Good for the price. - user review
The hotel was pretty well located right on the beach. I had a oceanside view which was awesome. It is the only hotel down there I saw with a Skywalk which was excellent especially if there was any traffic on A1A. It is about 3 4 blocks from Beachplace which has some stores and about 5 6 restaurants....

The price of the room did not reflect the hotel's apecial amenities. There was no hot tub or spa for adults.

The Sheraton Yankee Trader is a great place to stay in Fort Lauderdale. Decent price for a very clean stay.

We did enjoy our stay very much. There's just three things that we weren't happy with and that was the parking garage didn't have an elevator to take you to the hotel, you had to walk up a flight of steps which isn't very convenient. The other thing we didn't like was that they had continental break...

We were originally on the 1st floor of the 2nd tower and I wasn't impressed with that. However, they graciously upgraded us to an ocean view on the 8th floor which was much more to our liking.

The rack rate at the hotel, even for fort Lauderdale, is a bit on the high side.
