1of5G Posted September 13, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I'm considering booking one of these for one night pre-cruise on sat. Feb.6. Superbowl weekend has made getting a room rather difficult. We will be renting a car at FLL. Tamarac is at 3800 Commercial Blvd. Plantation is on Peters Road. Just looking for a clean place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted September 14, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Stay away from the one in Tamarac, not a nice place, not a nice area. The one in Plantation is fine, much newer hotel, much nicer safer neighborhood, and closer easier access to the port & airport, restaurants, etc... http://www.lq.com/lq/properties/propertyProfile.do?ident=LQ982&propId=982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1of5G Posted September 14, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Thanks to both of you for your help. Booked 2 rooms there. Thanks also for talking me out of Days Inn Oakland Park. People like you help to make traveling to FL so much easier and worry free. If you ever travel to MI (LOL) maybe I can return the favor!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted September 14, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 14, 2009 If you are flying to Fort Lauderdale, I suggest renting a car if your hotel is in Plantation. We stayed at a hotel there in the spring and paid a lot in cab and shuttle fares to get us from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the port. Renting a car would have been a lot cheaper and would have given us freedom to do things other than what was within walking distance from the hotel.

Thanks, We had already planned to rent a car because one person in our group will be flying in later and we will need to pick him up at the airport. I appreciate your input.
