cruzin girl Posted June 3, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Can someone please tell me if the La Quinta (airport) FLL is located in a decent part of town.

lindanick Posted June 3, 2005 #2 Share Posted June 3, 2005 What's the address. If its on Stirling Road, I would say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzin girl Posted June 3, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted June 3, 2005 It is on North 26th in Hollywood. Not sure if this is close to Sterling or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindanick Posted June 3, 2005 #4 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I know exactly where it is. Not exactly the best area. There is a shopping area and a movie theater area right next door, but would not walk there in the evening. Always lock you valuables up. I do not know what the price is you paid, but I would rater spend a few extra dollars and get somewhere closer to the beach if possible. When are you comming? How many? How many nights?

Bequia Posted June 3, 2005 #6 Share Posted June 3, 2005 This property is actually pretty decent with many favorable reviews. The area is relatively safe, located next to the Oakwood Plaza,a large shopping center with a Red Lobster, Dave & Busters, a great diner, movie theaters etc. This is hardly a bad area. A little congested with traffic at times, but crime ridden, NOT! As with anywhere you stay that you are not familiar with, always be aware of your surroundings. This holds true whether your at the Ft Lauderdale Airport, Port Everglades, Disneyworld, Marriott Harbor Beach, Pier 66, Amerisuites or the La Quinta on N26th Street. ;) http://www.lq.com/lq/properties/propertyProfile.do?ident=LQ985&propId=985&savedSearchQuery=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lq.com%2Flq%2FproxySearchRes.do%3FsearchCity%3Dft%2Blauderdale%26searchState%3DFL%26availability.palsra_IND_M%3D%26availability.palsra_IND_D%3D%26availability.palsra_IND_Y%3D%26availability.palsra_OTD_M%3D%26availability.palsra_OTD_D%3D%26availability.palsra_OTD_Y%3D%26availability.palsra_NRM%3D1%26mapProvider%3DMapQuest%26searchType%3DGEO%26promocorp%3D%26x%3D32%26y%3D12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miss hlywd Posted June 6, 2005 #8 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I live in the area and would say this hotel is in a decent area. As said previously, it's right next to a shopping area where there are restaurants and a movie theater. If you are staying more than one night, I agree that it would be worth it to stay closer to the beach. You can often get great prices on hotels on the beach in Hollywood. This La Quinta has gotten good reviews on tripadvisor - http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g34296-Hollywood_Florida-Hotels.html If you want to consider other hotels in Hollywood, especially some of the smaller ones on the beach, check out http://www.visithollywood.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane F Posted June 10, 2005 #9 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Has anyone got this hotel on Priceline recently? When did you get if for and how much did you have to bid to get it?I would like to stay there next April.I don't want to have to bid too high with the chance they might put us in another hotel.Has anyone gotten any other hotel in Ft. Lauderdale on Priceline bidding for a 2star, like La Quinta is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just4kixx Posted June 10, 2005 #10 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Dianne, I was wondering if perhaps Priceline moved La Quinta to the "Hollywood zone" from the "airport zone". I haven't seen anyone win this location recently either. It's ashame, the place was great, and I'd easily stay there again! A~:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dealin dave Posted June 10, 2005 #12 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Booked La Quinta directly for a rate of $49.99 for 2 nights in July. We are sailing on the Zuiderdam and wanted a 2 night stay in a convenient location. I also made a reservation at Embassy for $ 99.00 2 nights before cruise . Which do you think would be a better grab? Will be traveling with my wife and 2 children ages 6 & 4 . Perviously in past years have stayed at the Marina Marriott and Renaissance, feel like a little change in scenery!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take the water taxi to the Museum of Science and Discovery, the kids would love it, they have an IMAX as well. The beach is nearby, Los Olas Riverfront etc will keep everyone happy.

dealin dave Posted June 10, 2005 #14 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Thanks I will probably will end up at Embassy as it seems like a lively place. I was just wondering what is in the shopping center behind Embassy other then a Publix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
