Fort Lauderdale Hotels w/ free parking and shuttle

[smilesep]

We will be departing July 21, 2013 on the Allure from FL. Because several of us are coming from different areas, we are meeting the night before the cruise and are trying to find a place to stay that has free parking for the length of the cruise and a shuttle to the port. I would appreciate any suggestions on lodging near restaurants that are clean and safe but not super expensive. Thank you!

It's been a while, but we enjoyed staying at the LaQuinta Inn and Suites Airport in Hollywood, FL. Here's the link to the hotel:

It was clean, offered a shuttle from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the port, free parking and breakfast. It's walking distance to Oakwood Plaza with restaurant's and shopping.

We have a few rooms booked at the Sleep Inn & Suites, for our upcoming cruise in April. They offered us a good AAA discount, and have a free airport shuttle and breakfast. According to the web-site, the hotel is a walkable mile from the beach and is located next to a Walgreens and across the street from a shopping center which has a grocery store and three restaurants. ( Italian, Oriental and Spanish/Mexican. They have a port shuttle to FLL but for port of Miami you have to arrange your own. We are going with QLS shuttle due to early pick-up times. The hotel does have both a 7 day and a 14 day parking package.

I think the Hampton Inns north and south of the airport still offer this.

FYI: the sunny.org list has outdated info, don't go by that.

 

This listing is up to date: http://www.parkingstay.com/p/ft-lauderdale.html and I believe you can book most of the packages online.

The only one listed there with free parking and free cruise shuttle included in the STANDARD rate is Springhill. It looks like all the hotels are now charging in some way.
