pd52 Posted September 15, 2007 #3 Share Posted September 15, 2007 stayed their 1/2006. No complaints, used airport shuttle with no issues. Hotel was clean, continential breakfest fine. Used a cab for $8 to port instead of dealing with many folks on morning of cruise.Close to anything that you may need. Used Valuetrips.com this time for 1/2008. It's currently an Amerisuites. Its changing to a Hyatt 12/07. Got a rate better than the HI, about a block away. Have fun........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseapril Posted September 15, 2007 #4 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Stayed there in 2005. The prices have increased since then. Would stay there again for a good price. It was clean, comfortable, included Continental Breakfast bar, and is near restaurants. Wish it had free shuttle to pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrynterry Posted September 16, 2007 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2007 We stayed there April 2006. Good location, had free pick-up at the airport(just tipped the driver) and we took a cab to the ship for about $10. Clean rooms and decent breakfast. Next month we are staying at the Hampton Inn Airport North location. Have heard alot of good things about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnVacation11 Posted September 17, 2007 #6 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I can 2nd everyone's comments. We stayed there in Dec. 2007 for 1 night pre-cruise. The shuttle at the airport was prompt. Room was clean, included breakfast was basic but adequate. We took the $6 per person shuttle to the ship. Walgreens, Publix and many other shops are within easy walking distance. We had dinner across the street at Georgio's (small family run restaurant - very good). This year we are going to try Hampton Inn in Plantation.

GPN Posted September 17, 2007 #7 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Stayed here in April 06 pre-cruise. Good experience. If I remember correctly shuttled from airport and taxied to ship. Good Location too; very short walk to the liquor store (got a few pints for ""Seasickness"" protection) and ate at a good little tavern/restaurant called Drunken Jacks, or something like that. May stay there again for March 23rd cruise on Westerdam, but would like to pay less than $210 for the room. Easter Time is pricey! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted September 17, 2007 #8 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Cab fare from the HIX to the port would be less then the $6 per person shuttle. Leave when you want, go directly to your terminal without having to stop at all the others. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbles1209 Posted September 18, 2007 Author #9 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Thanks, had planned on grabbing a taxi anyway to go ahead and get there without waiting for a shuttle to fill up:) I never was good at being patient:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familycruzer Posted September 18, 2007 #10 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Good to know the hotel is OK, after much debating I booked a night here in January before Enchantment. I will be taking a cab to the port as well. I like to get there on my own time and not wait for a shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPN Posted September 19, 2007 #11 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Sorry; it was Dirty Harry's restaurant, not Drunken Jacks - decent place if you're looking for tavern type (casual) food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logbook Posted September 19, 2007 #12 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Sorry; it was Dirty Harry's restaurant, not Drunken Jacks - decent place if you're looking for tavern type (casual) food We are staying at the HIX in March - this restaurant sounds like exactly what we would want! Thanks for mentioning it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
