Sea Fan Posted June 6, 2007 #1077 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hi Joeci, I am coping Bequia's post 125 on page 7, there has been a lot posted about what's around the Sleep inn It's a pretty handy place. Bequia truly is the expert: Bequia vbmenu_register("postmenu_6760403", true); 5,000+ Club Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Ft. Lauderdale Posts: 7,648 The Publix has a decent wine selection, if you can't find what you want there's a newer Publix 1/2 a mile north of the Sleep Inn (on Dania Beach Blvd) that has double the wine selection of the one close to the Sleep Inn. There's a package store where hard liquor can be purchased by the Sleep Inn as well. ;) __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newhips Posted June 7, 2007 #1091 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Has anyone stayed at Sleep Inn and Suite at 1500 5th Ave in Dania? Any comments would be great?Thanks Angie Hi Angie - This is my post after our one night stay at the Sleep Inn in Dania on April 13the before our cruise - Sleep Inn Dania is a Great Place to stay. Sorry I didn't post sooner, I've been swamped trying to catch up since I got back. We had a great stay on 4/13. Got to the airport in FLL, called the hotel for the shuttle pick up and he was there inabout 10 minutes. Short hop to the hotel, courteous, friendly staff, nice large clean room with free high speed internet in the room and wireless in the lobby. Drug store next store to the hotel and mall across the street. Great Mexican & Italian restaurants in the mall. Very good free breakfast at the hotelin the AM. Make an appointment for the shuttle to the pier as soon as you check in, they fill up fast. Would stay there again anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Fan Posted June 8, 2007 #1096 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Jodi, your not nuts I did the same thing. I went to trip advisor and everyone said it's a nice hotel. Only negative was it's on busy SR84 and you have to cross that street to get to the eating establishments. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g34227-d502999-r7628117-Holiday_Inn_Express_Ft_Lauderdale_Air_Sea_Port-Fort_Lauderdale_Florida.html Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Fan Posted June 8, 2007 #1099 Share Posted June 8, 2007 The Sleep Inn is not a glamours hotel but our experience was clean and convenient, and the people were wonderful, we were only there 1 night. I don't believe there's much for kids to do so you might want to check on that. How long were you going to be staying there? We have always stayed at a more upscale hotel before we left on a cruise just because it was the beginning of another dream vacation. We just couldn't justify the prices down there for just the night. Did you see curlyd"s question asking about the CoCcoBelle, it looked pretty nice, I thought I would check into it next time I'm there. Right next to the beach, of course I didn't check the price. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g34227-d633477-r7476815-Cocobelle_Resort-Fort_Lauderdale_Florida.html Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beej Posted June 8, 2007 #1100 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Morning everyone, Sleep Inn is my choice for a one night stay precruise. Convenient, clean and everything available righjt next door. Just a heads up for those who may not have found this out. They not only do senior rate for over 50, but if you tell them you are over 60 they go even lower. since I am over 60 I use the Nana card and not only get a lower rate, but wind up with what they call a suite, aka, 2 beds and a tiny sitting area. The room does afford more room though. All those ready to sail, have a wonderful cruise. Beej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
