I'm assuming you are asking about March?

 

What is your idea of reasonably priced?

[CruiserBruce]

March is peak season, the demand is VERY high, thus the prices are high also.

 

Agree, what do you think reasonably priced is? That may not match reality.

 

There are dozens of threads on this board talking about hotels.

Agree with the above two members - there are, literally, hundreds of threads here on Fort Lauderdale hotels. I think it's one of the top 5 things discussed here. Only you can tell us what you think is "reasonable" - it might be different for everyone. :)

We're also staying pre-cruise in March....Reasonable to me and what I have booked is Hyatt Place (great location) at $219.00 booked using:

 

http://www.valuetrips.com

looks and sounds like reasonable for that time is around 200.00

http://www.sunny.org has lots of FLL area tourist and hotel info.

 

Assuming you are cruising from Port Everglades, lots of cruiser choose to stay in the downtown/17th street area - lots of chain hotels in a variety of price ranges plus many dining options. We like the Embassy Suites, but in March it is likely over your $200 budget.

I've seen quite a few under your price range in the Downtown/Las Olas area and the beach area.

 

Those two would be my first picks.

What is the EXACT date of your stay? If you have lots of day and evening available to enjoy the city, I'd for sure look at those in the port/beach area. And raise your budget to $225 and up.

 

The Hyatt Place mentioned is a very good value. That includes shuttle service from the airport and breakfast in the morning. Less than $15 cab to port. Be sure to see if valuetrips has it on their blackout dates tho.

March 2017 for the Embassy Suites for my dates using Hilton Honors is $309.00....Prefer ES but since I need to book 4 rooms I've opted for Hyatt Place at $219.00.

I'm so sorry, I MEANT to say I've seen quite a few in your price range on hotwire!

found 2 for the dates i want in march which is march break.

sleep inn and suites fll airport or quality inn and suites airport/cruise port south

any thoughts on those.

thought general area and things around are good, is it better to be closer to port or airport?

[WestCoastFlyer]

Hyatt Place is a good price for that time of the year. Very close to the port - 5 to 10 minute cab ride depending on the length of the line at the port security checkpoint
