maryhou Posted January 18, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hello :) You seem to have th eknowledge of the area so I am going to try you direct. lol We are coming from Lakeland the night before our cruise and don't plan to arrive until 8pm or later. We are needing someplace to basically fall asleep. Mapquest comes down 95 from Lakeland being the best route, do you know if that is the quickest? I saw 27 goes towards Miami as well. SO I guess I either need a reasonable hotel off 95 or 27 . Please email direct if you can :) Mary MHou736188@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't get off the Turnpike until 836 for Miami Beaches. Otherwise, you could get stuck in traffic for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted January 18, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I haven't taken US 27 in years, can't comment on that one. I agree that the Turnpike is better than I-95. Mapquest's routes are not always the "best" way. These are the least expensive hotels in the area... SE 17th Street, closest to Port Everglades... Extended Stay America (nicest budget hotel)... http://www.extendedstayamerica.com/hotels/fort-lauderdale-convention-center-marina.html Holiday Inn Express "Convention Center" (nice budget hotel)... http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ex/1/en/hd/fllcc AmeriSuites (only for the budget minded)... http://amerisuites.com/reservations/locationdetail.asp?facid=3929 AmeriSuites is cheaper on Valuetrips... http://www.valuetrips.com/AMS/FL/F17.htm Downtown Fort Lauderdale...
