FLL Pre Cruise

[2Xayear]

We are a group of 4 arriving in FLL April 21st, looking for an inexpensive and clean hotel for the night. Now in the past we have used the Wyndham but $180 a night for only a few hours sleep was pricey.

 

We arrive after dinner and will be leaving after breakfast for the cruise ship, so fancy is not a requirement. Any suggestions from past cruisers?

Inexpensive & clean, try one of these 17th Street hotels just minutes from the airport and Port Everglades:

 

Holiday Inn Express... http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ex/1/en/hd/fllcc

 

Extended Stay America... http://www.extendedstayamerica.com/...ter-marina.html

 

AmeriSuites... http://amerisuites.com/reservations....asp?facid=3929

I'd suggest Extended Stay America... http://www.extendedstayamerica.com/h...er-marina.html

This hotel gets high marks on these boards........very clean and reasonable....should be around $90 per night for Apr 21st.

WOW...thanks for the FAST responses!! One more question...which of the locations would be the best?

Deerfield Beach, Cypress Creek, Convention Centre-Marina or Plantation.

[Bequia]

Convention Center - Marina would be the best location. Walkable to shops, restaurants etc and minutes from the port. ;)

This board never ceases to amaze me!!! Many thanks everyone...booked into the Extended Stay America. Rates good and it's certainly close enough to the airport and Port Everglades. Happy New Year!!

Amerisuites has a shuttle service from the airport and also to port. You also get breakfast. I'll be staying there in 2 weeks. I was able to get a better rate thru valuetrips

We stayed at Amerisuites this month and were well pleased with the Hotel. Had new carpet in room and was clean. Had to leave for airport before breakfast was served so didn't get to try it. The van took us to the river taxi and came back to get us when we called. Think you will like it.

Here's a link to the hotel's website, all the info you need is there

AmeriSuites has shuttles, but Extended Stay America and Holiday Inn Express "Convention Center" are much nicer hotels! They're all in the same general location, all less than 10 minutes from FLL, and just outside the entrance to Port Everglades.

 

Shuttles are NEVER a reason to book a hotel, taxis are plentiful and inexpensive, and in many cases the shuttles are so overcrowded and have such long lines on cruise days that you'll end up taking a taxi anyway!

 

If you want to stay at AmeriSuites book it through one of the discount sites such as Valuetrips... http://www.valuetrips.com/AMS/FL/F17.htm
