Orangefan Posted January 15, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I am looking for Fort Lauderdale hotels that offer complimentary airport/cruise port shuttles. If you have stayed at a hotel with those amenities and would go back to that hotel again I would love to hear from you. Thank you ! Sali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam in CA Posted January 16, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The Hyatt Place North or Embassy Suites. They have shuttles, include breakfast and are a 2-minute walk to a supermarket and Total Wine. A number of restaurants within a block or two.

swedish weave Posted January 16, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2013 If you are seeking something low priced, check the Red Carpet Inn. It is far from fancy, but our room was clean and they had free shuttles from and to the port. The price was under $100.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matj2000 Posted January 16, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Most of the ones with the free shuttles are located near the airport. The beach area hotels are much nicer to stay at... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom33 Posted January 16, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The Hampton Inn North by the airport shuttles you from airport to hotel and hotel to port at no charge.It is located by a shopping center also.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ischeer Posted January 16, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The Hyatt Place North or Embassy Suites. They have shuttles, include breakfast and are a 2-minute walk to a supermarket and Total Wine. A number of restaurants within a block or two. The Embassy Suites no longer offers either complimentary airport-hotel or hotel-port shuttles. You can purchase a "transportation package" which includes these for an extra $25 per room. According to their website, this is the only way to get airport transportation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duchess nan Posted January 16, 2013 #8 Share Posted January 16, 2013 We stayed at Courtyard by Marriott with free shuttle from airport. Paid something for transport to ship, but booked a round trip that included transport from ship to airport on return, cheaper than Princess transfer and the cabs that were waiting. Don't remember if it included breakfast, but good location and was about $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4ddym4n Posted January 16, 2013 #9 Share Posted January 16, 2013 We just stayed at the Hampton Inn Plantation. They pick you up at the airport, free shuttle to the ship after a great free breakfast. Very clean rooms. Friendly staff. Has a pool also. $167 for the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou33 Posted January 16, 2013 #10 Share Posted January 16, 2013 In FLL, if you stay in the downtown area, which is generally the preferred area, then free shuttles are a non issue. The airport, port, and hotels are all very close, and taxi rides are very cheap. Even if I had a free shuttle, I would pay a few dollars for the convenience of a taxi. If you consider only hotels with free shuttles, then you miss great deals on other hotels If you want to save money, use priceline. FLL is the perfect place to use priceline.

aria48 Posted January 16, 2013 #11 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Here's the full listing: http://www.parkingstay.com/p/ft-lauderdale.html & yes Embassy Suites is now $7 each way unless you book a package rate. (Also keep in mind Taxis are cheap, especially if you stay in the area between the airport & port) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plant Posted January 17, 2013 #12 Share Posted January 17, 2013 We've stayed at the Hampton Inn Airport, and the LaQuinta Inn, Plantation, in the past. They were both very comfortable, clean and had Wi-Fi. Since we'd been traveling all day, we were also glad to see several option's for dinner delivered to our hotel room. When we stayed at each there was a free shuttle from FLL to the hotel and a free shuttle from the hotel to the port. We tipped the driver's both times. It's been a while, so I'd suggest you check out both of them. Things may have changed :(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
