TownePlace Suites?

[bowen9475]

Has anyone stayed at TownePlace Suites on West Prospect Rd in Fort Lauderdale? We are flying into FLL and cruising out of Port Everglades. We have a certificate for a free night at a Marriott hotel. For the night we are looking, February 15th, most Marriotts are booked. The TownePlace Suites has a 2 bedroom suite available. How far is this hotel from FLL and the cruise port? Thanks for any information.

Have you looked at the hotel's web site? It is 14 miles from the airport (and 13 miles to Port Everglades according to mapquest) and unless you rent a car it will cost you:

 

This hotel does not provide shuttle service.

 

• Alternate transportation: SuperShuttle 954-764-1700; fee: 25 USD (one way) ;reservation required
  
• Estimated taxi fare: 55 USD (one way)
  

I'm not familiar with the neighborhood but I'm sure some of the 'regulars' will chime in on that.

There is nothing there other than the little executive airport and it is far from where you want to be. It's fine if you rent a car...you'll want to get out of the neighborhood for dinner too.
