Please Help! Trying to make hotel reservations for a group in Fort Lauderdale

[luckyjtiger]

Would love some advice! We are cruising for the week of Thanksgiving and would like to stay in Fort Lauderdale the night before. There are 32 in our group. I posted the information about our group on a hotel inquiry website and received bids back from different hotels in the Fort Lauderdale area. The sales director at the Courtyard Marriott Fort Lauderdale North site address below has been the most helpful.

 

2440 W. Cypress Creek Road

Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309

 

Is this a good place to stay? Is it safe? Has anyone else stayed there recently? Most of us live in Central Florida and or Daytona along with a few from North Carolina and Texas. We will all be driving in the day before and we just want a place to get together before we board our cruise. We are actually celebrating my parent's 45th wedding anniversary.

 

Finally, if you have stayed at this location do you know anything about the breakfast in the cafe? Cost? Food choices and quality?

 

I really appreciate any information.:)

 

Thanks,

Jamie

I would think you could get this information, at least regarding food, from the hotel directly. You may want to go to tripadvisor.com and read the reviews for this hotel. I have found this extremely useful in obtaining information.

Not yet. I started to look into them. Some only have transportation on weekends, but we are leaving on a weekday. Some will only take you to the port, not back. I need to spend some time making phone calls and sorting through it all. Let me know if you learn anything worth sharing!

We are also traveling that week, and we are a group of 26. We are staying at the Ramada in FLL. They have a package that will pickup and dropoff at either the port of Miami or Fort Lauderdale. They also have complimentary airport shuttles. I don't have all the information with me as I am replying to your post, but if you want it let me know and i will get you the information.
