srvdmy4usn Posted February 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I believe we are going to stay at the Hyatt Place in Dania Beach for a day or two prior to our September cruise on the Allure. My mom will be traveling with us and she has enough points to get us some free nights, so I can't complain about the price! Anyone have any experience with this hotel?

Rooms were spacious and comfortable. They include a complimentary hot breakfast in the morning. There is a very casual bar restaurant just off the lobby. Food was moderately priced as were the drinks. Food was good. They have a complimentary shuttle to/from the airport. They also will shuttle you (complimentary) to nearby restaurants/shopping. They provide a shuttle to the cruise port for a per person charge. Don't quote me, but I believe it was $8 pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can find I think that would be the cheaper, and probably more convenient choice for 8 people. Is there something in the area that could entertain kids (7-14 years old)?

Yes, there is a Dave and Buster's very close by. Most 7-14 year olds I know love that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcw80 Posted February 12, 2013 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2013 There is also a movie multiplex in the Oakwood Plaza. A taxi ride to the Broadwalk on Hollywood Beach would be enjoyed by all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetz Posted August 14, 2016 #11 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) I am not sure of the differences, besides location. This is the Hyatt most talk about. Many people get it confused with the one in Dania. :) http://www.valuetrips.com/AMS/FL/F17.htm#Today's Super Value rates Edited August 14, 2016 by janetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted August 14, 2016 #12 Share Posted August 14, 2016 May I ask, what is the difference between the two Hyatts? Location !!!!...and price...Usually using http://www.valuetrips.com for Hyatt Place can price out better and it's in a much better location.

boxermom73 Posted August 15, 2016 #13 Share Posted August 15, 2016 We are att he Dania location because that's where I could stay for free with my points...I have friends staying on Hollywood beach so that's why I asked how far it was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you checked both Hyatt Place locations using points? I was able to book my next 2 stays at the 17th Street location for 8000 points.

boxermom73 Posted August 15, 2016 #15 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I haven't checked recently... They didn't have anything available in April. I will go check now. Thanks for the info. Is this hotel closer to Hollywood Beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvcruzin Posted August 15, 2016 #16 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) I haven't checked recently... They didn't have anything available in April. I will go check now. Thanks for the info. Is this hotel closer to Hollywood Beach? The best way to see where a hotel is located is to bring up googlemaps and enter Hotels near Fort Lauderdale. You can see that the Dania location is not near the beach. I've never stayed there but if you call the hotel you could ask what the options are for transportation to the beach (unless you are renting a car). This location is closer to Hollywood beach than the other. If your friends can pick you up even better. :) If you switch to the one on 17th you can take the trolley to Ft. Lauderdale beach. It's $1 one way or $3 for an all-day pass. Edited August 15, 2016 by iluvcruzin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stay at the 17th Street Hyatt Place you are a 1 mile walk or a Sun Trolley (http://www.suntrolley.com) ride to the water taxi (http://www.watertaxi.com) stop at the Hilton Marina hotel. There is a 5 stop water taxi route that terminates in Hollywood Beach. Obviously this is a longer and more expensive means of transportation than just taking a cab or Uber but much more interesting should you have the time and budget!

ptcruzers Posted August 16, 2016 #20 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hyatt Place not located on 17'th Street but at 1851 SE 10'th Ave. in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. Nice location, nice venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted August 16, 2016 #21 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hyatt Place not located on 17'th Street but at 1851 SE 10'th Ave. in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. Nice location, nice venue. True and the hotel has the most convoluted official name I've ever seen: Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale 17th Street Convention Center. As you said, the hotel is actually located on SE 10th Avenue. The Convention Center is about 3/4 mile away and 17th Street is about 3 blocks away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
