Springhill and Renaissance (Ft. Laud) are in the best locations for restaurants and shopping. Ren doesn't have a free shuttle or breakfast...Springhill has breakfast and free shuttle from airport and to port. The restaurants by Ren are nicer.

Is the Renaissance in walking distance to Total Wine?

Thanks Royalcruz! Is BJ's like a Costco?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Is there anywhere near Springhill to buy wine? Does the Springhill look to be in good condition? If we chose the Renaissance, do you have a ballpark idea what a taxi from the airport and to the port would be?

We are cruising on HAL departing 12/3/10, and would really appreciate some help choosing a hotel for the night before.

We have a Marriott free night credit that we can redeem at either the airport/port Springhill Suites or Fairfield Inn (it is only good for up to a category 4 property). There also may be a possibility that we can kick in some extra points and get the Airport Courtyard or Renaissance (both category 5). Can anyone help us with the pros and cons of these hotels and their locations?

Thanks very much in advance! :)
