FLL hotels within walking distance to buy wine

[39august]

I am familiar with the hotels on or near 17th street, but in early Jan. they are very high priced! Please, can anyone steer me toward a hotel that offers the easy walk to buy wine in a different area of Ft. Lauderdale? I have also stayed at the Sleep Inn in Dania Beach which is across the street from a shopping center, but it was very high priced also...$240 including tax, for a two star hotel!

I hope someone can help you but you need to remember that January is high season in south Florida -- everything will be priced accordingly.

January and February -- high season for Ft Lauderdale -- many ships. Prices are high. Some hotels sell out quickly.

Have you tried the Holiday Inn Express on 17th Street?

We stayed at the Holiday Inn on 17th St in April 2014 and paid ~$210 total (ouch) but they have recently done a total renovation and the hotel is very nice. PLUS it is a 5 minute walk to Total Wine in the plaza right behind the hotel. Combine that with a 5 minute cab ride to the Port (~$10) and you have it made. There is also a wide variety of restaurants within walking distance - we like the Bimini Boatyard = they have a great happy hour.

Check the Value Trips to see what the Hyatt on 17th is priced at! Have stayed here twice and will be doing a third trio here in October!

Right now Value Trips only has rates posted through December 2014 for that Hyatt Place. I emailed them yesterday to ask about 2015 rates and am awaiting a reply.

The prices stay pretty close from year to year. Just use the chart and figure out your season. It won't go up more than ten I'd bet.
