Sovereignmark Posted December 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Looking for accom in Ft Lauderdale for Feb. want something reasonable and clean, but every hotel you read the reviews, and they all have some that love it and some that hate it. we live in Australia and cruise from FLL every year. any suggestions for a reasonably priced clean hotel. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted December 22, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 22, 2014 When do you cruise? :confused: Prices vary widely based upon the tourist season - rooms are cheap in August, but pricey in Feb! What is your budget? :confused: Your reasonable might be my splurge - we like the Embassy Suites, but there are a variety of chain hotels in the downtown/17th street area in a range of prices. Give us some dates and a budget range, plus other details (kids? romantic? want beachfront?) and the suggestions will be much more focused and valuable. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereignmark Posted December 22, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Thanks John, we cruise as often as we can, 13 times this tear and 11 more booked between now and April. we need accom for 25-27 Feb. we have looked at the websites but as I mentioned if you look at the reviews, some people give great reviews and the other half rubbish the place, so its like a lucky dip. being Aussies with our $ now down to 81c doesnt help. hoping for something clean and safe around $140-$170 per night. doesnt have to be on the beach, but dont want to be miles away from the port either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcool Posted December 22, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Why do you need accommodation on land? If you have had 13 cruises this year and have another 11 booked between now and April you wouldn't see it!!! If you cruise every year from FLL surely you would have your favourite hotel there by now. C'mon Aussie C'mon!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PORT ROYAL Posted December 22, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Thanks John,we cruise as often as we can, 13 times this tear and 11 more booked between now and April. we need accom for 25-27 Feb. we have looked at the websites but as I mentioned if you look at the reviews, some people give great reviews and the other half rubbish the place, so its like a lucky dip. being Aussies with our $ now down to 81c doesnt help. hoping for something clean and safe around $140-$170 per night. doesnt have to be on the beach, but dont want to be miles away from the port either With your price point, suggest to look at Extended Stay America. At the port entrance and a walk to restaurants plus Total Wine is in easy reach by taxi, foot or the choo-choo (stops outside TW). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryandi Posted December 22, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 22, 2014 There are some travel coupon booklets. Such as : Hotel Coupons.com, Roomsaver.com and Florida Travel Saver.com, to name a few. However, no matter how enticing their ads are in the booklets, there are a few I would not use EVER !! No room under $100 per night in the high season, Roadway Inns, Ramada, Motel 6 and their like - those brands and others in Florida don't do so well and can be in rough areas. Stick to the popular name brands and have a great time. All the best, Maryandi, :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted December 22, 2014 #7 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Your dates are peak rate in peak season. I would look at the Holiday Inn Express 17th Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sovereignmark Posted December 22, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted December 22, 2014 only ever need acccomodation because we are waiting to board a ship. if I had my way, I would stay on board. no favourite hotels, just need a clean comfy bed to fill in before cruising and in between cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted December 22, 2014 #10 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Your dates are peak rate in peak season. I would look at the Holiday Inn Express 17th Street. I agree with this recommendation. It is near the port, restaurants and stores. Your budget for a prime winter vacation city is low. But this hotel will probably be your best choice and near your budget.
