Fort Lauderdale hotel

Looking for January recommendations for one night pre cruise.

Have you looked down the board? There are dozens of threads here on hotels.

 

Your budget is important...we don't know it...as hotels can be quite expensive during the peak season.

Cruising in April; all hotels seem expensive.  I bit the bullet and booked Springhill Suites for 1 night. Have stayed there previously.  Airport shuttle. Breakfast. Shuttle to ship, extra charge. Very good location. I kept waiting hoping prices would fall; no such luck. Shop around and choose what appears to be best for you

Hyatt Place Cruise port booked through Value Trips website

[MamyL00]

I'm cruising in January and am staying for one night at the FLL Airport La Quinta. Looks pretty average but it was the best price I could find (around $200- which is still A LOT to spend one night, IMO). It has a shuttle from the airport to hotel and it looks like there are several restaurants nearby.

The problem with Value Trips is that for the past few years at least they haven't released their new year prices until late December or early January (although they always say late October/November IIRC). 

 

OP - if you book a refundable hotel room now at a price you can live with, keep an key on Value Trips so you don't miss the release of the 2024 pricing.  If it is better, cancel your current reservation after receiving your Value Trips confirmation.

Hi, it is really not that high......January in South Florida is still considered "high season".

Agree, that is high season, and that really isn't that high. 

[MamyL00]

Understood. It's just hard to justify paying that for a 12-ish hour stay. But hey, it's worth it!

I got pricing for Dec 30th at a price at least half if not more than other hotels from value trips

Were also staying there in January and only paying $160. for a king room. We've stayed there twice before. The free shuttle is great and you can also get a shuttle to the cruise port in the morning. The room and property are nice. Free breakfast is very good by go early for a table. Lots of people waiting for transportation use this as their lounge area. There are homeless people living in the area. If you walk to a restaurant you will see evidence of this. Didn't feel unsafe walking but make sure you pay attention to your surroundings. Were going to have food delivered for our evening meal or eat at the airport before we arrve.

Is this the FLL  Airport La Quinta location you are staying / talking about?

 

Address: 2620 N 26th Ave, Hollywood, FL 3302

Phone: (954) 922-2295

 

Thanks.

[Bob and Linda]

YES!

[njgirl]

Where did you book your room as I am seeing a much higher rate for a one night stay in December ... over $200?

 

Is the shuttle to the cruise port complimentary?  If not, how much is it?

 

Thanks,

 

[Bob and Linda]

There is a small fee around $10. but that was a couple of years ago.

[Bob and Linda]

We booked back in May I think. I just checked a couple days ago and it was still inexpensive around $160. Do not go through Laquinta website call the place direct. It's much higher on the website.

It may be cheaper to just take an Uber to the port. That will be one fee for everyone. The shuttle is charged per person.

[MamyL00]

I booked at the end of June, directly through the website. Bob and Linda, I'm glad to hear it's a nice property. I plan on taking an Uber to the port the next day.

We’re booked for the la Quinta airport in early January too. I used a corporate discount and got two rooms for $472. I’m thinking now that seems high?? Seems like all of the hotels have gone up so much since we were last in FLL!

Checked my hotel today and price had gone down. Canceled and rebooked saving about $60; every little bit helps
