Ramada Plaza in FLL


Ct Cruise Guy

Recommended Posts

Have to be honest with you, the Ramada Hotel's in South Florida leave a lot to be desired. There notorious for dirty rooms and less then desirable guests frequenting them due to their low rates. Hopefully you'll have a car rental as your quite some distance from both the airport and the cruiseport, if not cab fare is going to negate any savings.

 

You can do a lot better... :eek: .

Bottomline, you can't go wrong with the LaQuinta Inn & Suites in Hollywood, the Sleep Inn & Suites in Dania, the Comfort Inn & Suites in Davie and the Marriott Airport/Cuiseport in Dania. ;)

As along time local, I'd urge you to avoid the Ramada Plaza- it is in a very bad area of town ( Pawn shops, adult video stores, payday loans etc- if you get my gist). It is generally used as a "warehouse" for people who have been talked into those awful time share deals- and is in very poor repair. You will probably find a moldy bathroom and very possibly bugs.

 

The location is about 13 miles from the beach area and the Port.

 

If you visit www.tripadvisor.com and check reviews I think you would be horrified.

 

There is another Ramada on State RD. 84 that is closer to the Cruiseport and it gets pretty bad reviews too- but not as bad as the one at 5100 State Road 7.

 

You'd be well advised to cancel and look elsewhere- about the only worse places are Red Carpet Inn, Rodeway Inn and El Palacio- and maybe a few others. The Ramada you are recommending to others is pretty much in the bottom ten or so of local hotels.

I am at the Extended Stay right now - it's clean, the staff is very nice, plenty of great restaurants within walking distance, there is a trolley that can take you to the beach and it isn't far from the port. No frills, but it is fine for a night.

Yay! Extended Stay is a much better choice! You're in an area where you can walk around and have a wide variety of dining choices- if you want casual seafood, walk west to the traffic light at the Embassy Suite and go north on Cordova Road- three great casual seafood "joints" Quarterdeck, Southport Raw Bar or Kelly's - all very close together- if you just want fish and a few beers you can't go wrong at any of them!!

Bon Voyage!
