cruisetilidrop Posted July 4, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I am trying to decide between the Renaissance Hotel and Embassy Suites on 17th St. If you have stayed in both or have an opinion about one or the other, please respond. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakridger Posted July 4, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Many comments on this forum about the Embassy Suites. I was there in 2016 and it was shabby. I haven't heard that there have been any remodels since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted July 4, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Avoid the Embassy Suites. We used to stay there years ago but have happily found Hyatt Place is better suited for us now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you We've stayed at the Renaissance a few times, including last November, and have it booked for two more trips. We've tended to find our previous "go-to" hotel, the Hyatt Place, too cramped and confining in the lobby area with poor breakfast options. The Renaissance is a large, very nice hotel, literally within walking distance of Terminal 2, also offers a shuttle service at extra cost to any of the piers at PE and is near enough to all the local shopping and restaurants. Can't help with the Embassy Suites, but there are more than enough negative reviews here on CC to ensure we won't be staying there any time soon.

jmlh Posted July 4, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 4, 2022 We stayed at the Renaissance again in February 2022 & had a good stay. It is clean, close to the port & has good staff. We have it booked again for next January. We have also stayed at Embassy Suites but found it old & dreary. Only bonus was that we were given a rom with a balcony.

jimmy2x Posted July 6, 2022 #10 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Well, somebody has to be the contrarian here with reference to the Embassy Suites. I will freely concede that the rooms could stand some “updating “, but the beds are very comfortable and we enjoy having the balcony with access to some fresh air. The included breakfast has just about everything one could want including made to order eggs. Have always enjoyed the evening happy hour and it’s a nice way to meet fellow cruisers.

I have to agree with you. Many hotels in FLL need updated. We had a pleasant stay for two days although $350 a night was an insane price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corby114 Posted July 6, 2022 #12 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Embassy Suites needs some updating and a deep cleaning. I would stick with either Hyatt Place or the Renaissance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
