Ft. Lauderdale Hotels

[dmullinix]

Anyone have any suggestions on a good hotel in the area. Looking for one close to the airport.

[CruiserBruce]

Just read down the board, lots of recommendations. Most don't stay at the airport, rather 17th St is much more popular, and just a $15 cab ride away.

It's not at the airport but relatively close to the port and the airport and that is the Embassy Suites in the location that CruiserBruce mentioned which we often recommend.

We just stayed at the Hampton Inn Ft. Lauderdale North Cruise Port Hotel.

- free shuttle from airport

- free shuttle to cruise port

- really good breakfast included in price

- nice room

- excellent front desk service (they even had 3 staplers sitting on the front counter for all of the cruise passengers to attach their luggage tags in the morning!)

 

There was a plaza next door with a grocery store for last minute items and a few restaurants nearby.

Do you realize that the port area is only 5 minutes from the airport (without traffic)? This is the nicest area to be in near the airport:

Hyatt Place 17th St Convention Center (great prices are on ValueTrips)

Embassy Suites (a cruiser's favorite)

Holiday Inn Convention Center

Renaissance

Hyatt Pier 66

Extended Stay
