laedw Posted February 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Requested a room via ValueTrips.com and hotel website for a room on June 15. Received an email stating that the hotel is not available. Can anyone recommend a hotel in that vicinity? Need it for one night precruise.

capriccio Posted February 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2018 What is your budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laedw Posted February 18, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted February 18, 2018 What is your budget? Hyatt Place was offering $119 for one night including taxes. Our budget is $150.00. We wanted to stay within walking distance of Harbour Shops. We're currently looking at the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted February 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Hyatt Place was offering $119 for one night including taxes. Our budget is $150.00. We wanted to stay within walking distance of Harbour Shops. We're currently looking at the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale. In June you should be able to get anything on 17th Street for $150. It is off season so I'd expand your search a little. If you are getting in any time mid day, also look at hotels on the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted February 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 18, 2018 That was a great price for the Hyatt! Other nearby hotels close to your budget (the current prices on TripAdvisor) are Hilton Marina - $139; Crowne Plaza (but you have to cross a busy route 1 to get to the Harbor Shops) - $158; Four Points by Sheraton - $159; and the Renaissance - $169. In June you should be able to get anything on 17th Street for $150. It is off season so I'd expand your search a little. If you are getting in any time mid day, also look at hotels on the beach. I'm wondering if something special is going on that weekend because even the Holiday Inn Express is over $200 (as is the Embassy Suites). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are getting in any time mid day, also look at hotels on the beach. I thought we could find a hotel in June within our range on 17th Street too but that’s not what I’m seeing online. Embassy Suites is $200+. The Renaissance is going for $160+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the Reservationist at the Hyatt Place and she didn't have an answer. They didn't have any rooms available for June 14 arrivals either!

Reina del Mar Posted February 21, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Probably too late for you now, but just because one site doesn't have any rooms available, does not mean hotel is full. Might be worth ringing the hotel directly to ask for availability. Sometimes more expensive, othertimes cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called the Hyatt Place and was given the same information - they did not have any rooms available for June 14 or 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
