NJ Gal Posted July 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2022 In the past -before covid--we have stayed many times at the Spring Garden Suites in Dania Beach. The location was perfect. The last time there is 2019, the rooms were tired with not everything even working properly. Now, looking for something in that area with walking distance to restaurants or shopping. Any suggestions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBerard Posted July 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Although I've not yet had the pleasure of staying there, I understand the Riverside Hotel is a terrific place to stay with restaurants and shopping all around it. Prior to hotel prices skyrocketing this year, we always stayed at the Sonesta on FLL Beach! Wonderful 4* property across the street from the beach. I just can't bring myself to pay what they are asking for a night lately though. We have stayed there many times, even for our land trips to FLL.

NJ Gal Posted July 26, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Where is the Riverside Hotel? Where is the Sonesta? We are looking to stay two nights after a cruise so we can see some Florida family and friends. Prices are up for everything now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhraformula00 Posted July 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Riverside is downtown on Los Olas, and Sonesta is on the Ocean just east of downtown Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggerbearmom Posted July 27, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Does anyone have any experience with staying at The Snooze Hotel, located on FLL Beach? We typically stay at The Hyatt Place in Dania Beach, but we will have three nights pre cruise at the end of January and I thought a beach front hotel would be nice.

Corby114 Posted July 27, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Riverside Hotel is a very nice hotel located on Las Olas Blvd in downtown Fort Lauderdale. It’s literally ten minutes away from Port Everglades and surrounded by great restaurants including Louie Bossi’s Italian Restaurant, Big City Grill, Luigi’s Italian Restaurant, Rocco’s Tacos and American Social. There’s also a Publix Supermarket a few blocks away if you need anything and a Water Taxi stop very close to the hotel.: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilovesailaway Posted July 27, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Op my recent thread was linked to this post because I was also looking for a Fort Lauderdale hotel. As was suggested by many I looked at booking Riverside Hotel on Las Olas. When I tried to book, my date was unavailable. I found an alternative choice but I kept checking back and Riverside became available. I cancelled the other property and booked Riverside. In my research I learned that Riverside Hotel has an older and newer section. Based on reviews I booked an Executive Tower King Bed with Corner Balcony. Because of the nice room we booked and the abundance of dinning and shopping in the area we are heading down a little earlier to make the most of it.

doone Posted August 5, 2022 #10 Share Posted August 5, 2022 My go to hotel when sailing out of Ft. Lauderdale is the Hyatt Place 17th Street Convention. They have an airport shuttle for $5/room and a port shuttle for $7 per person. There are lots of restaurants and stores within walking distance of the hotel. Great spot.............. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandancer Posted August 7, 2022 #11 Share Posted August 7, 2022 We are at Hyatt Place. Cruise ship shuttle now $9 each. Last shuttle 1pm so if you have a late embarkation time (as we do) then taxi or Uber. Hotel very busy over the weekend and breakfast a little manic as seating area for breakfast is not huge. Few minutes to Harbour shops where there is a Total Wine, Publix, TK Maxx. Staff at the hotel are very helpful and polite. We are very satisfied with our stay. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinGirl777 Posted August 13, 2022 #14 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I have stayed at Hyatt Place but this time there was a blackout date with Value Trips so I booked Marriott on the beach FLL. Expecting it to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
