Shore>Mom Posted September 7, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Flying into FLL. Cruise out of POM. 4 people. Husband and 2 teenagers. We've been to Miami quite a few times. Not really fans of "mall" places like Bayside Market so thinking stay in Fort Lauderdale. Years since we've been there but would love to spend the evening on the water taxi watching the "lifestyles" of the rich and famous. We live at the beach so really don't care if beachfront. Does anyone know which Fort Lauderdale hotels on water taxi route other then Hilton Marina? I would like to come in a little cheaper but I am a loon about clean rooms. Mixed cleanliness reviews Hilton and Riverside. TIA for any replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted September 7, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Doubletree Gallery One has water taxi stop onsite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted September 7, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 7, 2018 The Bahia Mar is very close to stop #5. Plus there are a number of hotels within a short walk of the Beach Place stop (#6) just north of the beginning of Las Olas Blvd (Marriott Beach Place Towers, the Ritz-Carlton, the Pillars, Snooze Hotel, the Westin, etc.). The water taxi website (www.watertaxi.com) has a map of stops and their addresses. Put the addresses in Google Maps and search for hotels nearby.

spidybabe Posted September 8, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Holiday inn express 17th Street would be a great place to stay. Close to everything, bars, restaurants, trolley and water taxi Enjoy Sent from my SM-N950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shore>Mom Posted September 9, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Thank you all for your replies. Awesome water taxi website with hotels. We ended up going with the Holiday Inn Express on 17th Street. I called and they said construction should be done by then. Good location and great price. We are only there for one night. SAS rides picks up here so we can head to the POM after breakfast. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhraformula00 Posted September 9, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Holiday Inn is no cleaner than Hilton Marina. Been to both in the last 2-3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunello22 Posted September 10, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Also check out the Residence Inn by Marriott / Il Lugano. The northernmost water taxi stop is next door at Bokampers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perkydebrajean Posted September 12, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 12, 2018 We just stayed at the Hilton Marina in July and had a tower room facing the port. Our room was spotless and all of the hotel from what we could see was. And there was even a huge Florida Supercon Convention going on with huge parties at the hotel and it was still extremely clean. We plan on staying there again next cruise. We did the water taxi and loved it. Just wish we had gotten into town earlier in the day so that we had time to ride it down to the Hollywood area.
