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. ;)

is the Ramada really that bad for a night? I see it's 11 miles from port, I can live with that. how far is it from wother the downtown bars or beach place? thanks!

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.

Thanks SO much the GF is very happy we found this out now!!! I'll be sleeping at the Sleep in!

Couldn't get the sleep in but booked Extended Stay on 17th for 114.99 :)

 

thanks All!

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!
