hollyberry Posted June 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Thinking of using either one if these properties for a day use after cruise. Anyone have any info as which one would be better to maybe access a beach, water taxi or just something to spend a few hours doing while waiting for a 7:30 pm flight home.

jmlh Posted June 22, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 22, 2017 How far would we have to walk to find a nice place for lunch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunello22 Posted June 22, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 22, 2017 How far would we have to walk to find a nice place for lunch? I assume you're asking around the Hampton Inn? Restaurants are not far at all. That area surrounding the hotel is undergoing a major redevelopment, so lots of new places have opened in recent months. Within a few blocks walking distance from the hotel, along N Federal Hwy (US1), some old and new restaurants: Sushi 1 Brass Tap (pub/restaurant) Mellow Mushroom (pizza, craft beer) MidiCi (Neapolitan pizza) Doc B's Fresh Kitchen Shuck n Dive (Cajun) Las Olas is a 10-minute walk, where there is a plethora of restaurants.

hollyberry Posted June 22, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted June 22, 2017 A couple years ago we were at Las Olas and were very disappointed. It change so much from when we had previously been there. So many stores were empty. Has it changed again. What is on the Riverwalk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted June 22, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 22, 2017 A couple years ago we were at Las Olas and were very disappointed. It change so much from when we had previously been there. So many stores were empty. Has it changed again. What is on the Riverwalk? Greed. The landlord is jacking up all the rents on Las Olas and giving the current tenants an out on their long term leases if they leave. They are trying to attract nothing but chain stores that can afford the outrageous rents. As far as the Rodeway Inn goes, please know that the city of Fort Lauderdale houses all the homeless there when they are kicking them out of whatever area they happen to be in. You could not pay me to stay at the Rodeway. Many of the homeless deal with mental illness and can be dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmlh Posted June 22, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I was speaking of the Hampton Inn. We have just booked here for a day room after our cruise. Hopefully it will be fine for our luggage storage and for a short walk to a good lunch/brunch sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
