MKellyUtah Posted September 9, 2014 #301 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I stayed there last January for a pre-cruise night (when it cost about $60 more on a weekend night), I thought it was fine for a short stay. It is the former Comfort Inn (it was changing brand & signage when I stayed there.) It's older, but the room I had was clean & comfortable and I thought it was fine for a short stay. I used the shuttle from airport to hotel, then shuttle to cruise port the next day. Enough place within walking distance for a meal (I went to a nearby diner-type restaurant for dinner, there's also a McDonald's & other fast-food next door.) Hotel has a basic breakfast included, also a small bar on premises. I think at that price you did fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryhou Posted September 22, 2014 #306 Share Posted September 22, 2014 $127 12/27 pre-cruise on priceline express deals. Everything I had been searching was over $200 pre cruise. We have a rental car to return to the airport, so this should work perfect for us. Is there a free shuttle to the port if your turning in a rental car from the airport?

And I am looking for February, Fort Lauderdale... Check any of the online hotel booking sites and plug in your dates. You will see all sorts of hotels pop up with prices. Narrow it down by how close you want to be to the airport and/or cruise port and the star rating you desire to get a better idea. Hotel prices can vary wildly by just a few days due to conventions, holidays, etc. Both of those months are during the high season so you can expect to pay premium rates. If you are willing to risk not knowing what your hotel will be and just get a guaranteed star rating and general location then you can save a bunch by using a bidding site such as Priceline, as long as you understand the bidding process. I like Priceline Express where you can still save a lot but you also have the benefit of seeing the hotel's actual amenities and if they are a customer favorite or not. Be aware that most of these sites are non-refundable. There are other sites that can save you money such as LMT.com. Compare them all before making your decision.

cmich068 Posted September 24, 2014 #311 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Just booked a pre-cruise hotel with Priceline (NYOP) for my Jan 11th cruise on Carnival Breeze. 3* - Miami Airport - Courtyard Miami Airport - $90 Flying in late on Saturday, so I wanted to save the money on a taxi by staying at a hotel with an airport shuttle. This fits the bill and then some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nanlaur Posted September 30, 2014 #313 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Just booked the Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale 17th Street Convention Center for Jan. 31, 2015: $182 plus tax on valuetrips.com. First time we've used this service and I'm pleased that we knew before we booked which hotel it was and that we'll get two beds. Unlike our experience with Priceline.

rmartin1286 Posted October 1, 2014 #314 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Booked the Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-six for $92 with a 10% off coupon code ($102 before code) with the Priceline Express Deals. I chose the Fort Lauderdale Beach area on the map and was disappointed with this hotel assignment because I figured that when I booked a "beach" hotel that it would actually be on a beach and not just on the intercoastal waterway, but that's what you get when you book these kinds of deals. From looking at the hotel's website it looks like I saved around $50 a room so I guess I can't complain too much. Anyone else ever stay here? Did you like it?

LoriPhil Posted October 2, 2014 #315 Share Posted October 2, 2014 We stayed at the Hyatt Pier 66 in January (Priceline bid). We choose the canal view vs the garden view when given the choice upon check-in and enjoyed it very much - fun to sit on the balcony, read a book, watch the birds and passing scene. Fairly standard room configuration but a really comfy bed with very nice pillows and linens. I think they've tried to create an urban oasis in the central courtyard with well kept grounds, nice pool, and bar (limited menu for nibbles). We walked over the bridge to the Hilton for cocktails one evening, Walgreens (?) the next day to pick up lotions etc for the cruise, and got lovely views of the port. I don't think we would have stayed there normally, but via Priceline bid it was a happy experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much Lou Don't use Pl or HW to book if you need cruise time parking. The room is all that is guaranteed. The hotel can add a parking fee at will. Book with stay123.com or parksleepfly.com Good rates with parking and no guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNJCruisers Posted October 9, 2014 #321 Share Posted October 9, 2014 You could also try www.trinityreservations they have some very competitive rates with parking And their rates include taxes, where most other sites add taxes on, so the are cheaper more often than not when you compare bottom line pricing for the same property.

You can't bid on a hotel and have 100% certainty that they will have a free shuttle. You can however, go to Priceline express deals and check out amenities that the properties have. For your date, the cheapest available is a 1 star for 119 and a 2 star for 127, each plus taxes and fees. Another choice that is available is the Super 8 in Dania Beach that is available on their website for 126.65 + tax. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
