countryflower Posted May 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hi We are planning to cruise in the Allure of the Seas. In doing some research about option in hotels. What we need is a clean room with some nearby places to eat and maybe to look around. Having no experience in this port Im counting with yours.. The price, I dont want to pay a lot... But I want a nice place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryandJacquelyn Posted May 14, 2011 #2 Share Posted May 14, 2011 So are we! We called Largo Mar resort, however, they provide no transportation from the airport or to the cruise port. We cruised out of Fort Laud. in January and we stayed at a Ramada Inn that was located around 2 miles from the Port. We found the hotel online pictures were very deceiving and It was so bad that I slept in my clothes and refused to open my suitcase..... Not good ... Good Luck!

gentlemancruiser Posted May 14, 2011 #3 Share Posted May 14, 2011 If you are looking for a reasonable budget hotel I would suggest the Holiday Inn Express on 17th street. They provide a free shuttle and small breakfast. It isn't the Ritz's but it is very comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyStar Posted May 14, 2011 #4 Share Posted May 14, 2011 We stayed at Comfort Inn Airport Cruise Port South in Jan and it was a very pleasant stay. We flew into FTL and left from Miami port and they got us there in short order. It was in walking distance of plenty of shopping yet we stayed on property and had a fantastic burger at their grill. Very clean, comfortable and affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarep Posted May 14, 2011 #6 Share Posted May 14, 2011 My suggestion would be the Renaissance. A very nice hotel, across from port entrance. Restaurants and shops nearby. Other choice in the same general area would be the Hyatt Place North or Embassy Suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzmax Posted May 14, 2011 #7 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Ditto on Renaissance - our favorite choice in Fort Lauderdale; try bidding on priceline. We have also stayed at Riverside Hotel on Los Olas - older hotel, but lots of character and so much entertainment outside...shops, restaurants, music, fun!

royalcruz Posted May 14, 2011 #8 Share Posted May 14, 2011 You can't really go wrong with a 3-4 star hotel on Priceline in the Fort Lauderdale downtown/port zone. The hotels are all good enough to really nice, a short cab ride, and surrounded by eateries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
