brownie9 Posted July 17, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2015 We are 4 women in our 60s, looking for a safe, clean place to stay at the beach in Fort Lauderdale for a few days pre cruise in January. Would like to be near restaurants and some shops. Any suggestions? :) Brownie9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted July 17, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Just read down the board. Dozens of threads with recommendations. 17th St is the commonly recommended area...no one has ever questioned safety there, or in many of the other areas discussed.

royalcruz Posted July 17, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 17, 2015 The Courtyard Marriott Fort Lauderdale Beach. Or the Ritz-Carlton, The Westin, or The W Hotel. These are the best choices, as they are the most centrally located to shops and restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerReuv Posted July 17, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 17, 2015 We are staying at Homewood Suites on Griffin Road. We travel with my parents and it is nice to have a 2 bedroom suite with a kitchenette. Works out to a good price when we split it two ways. Probably even better split 4 ways! Plus M-TH they have a lite dinner buffet and they have a comp breakfast in the AM.

capriccio Posted July 17, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Are you planning on 1 or 2 rooms? If the latter, check out the Doubletree Gallery One since it has suites. I don't know your budget either but it is less expensive than the Ritz, W, etc. if that matters. It is a couple of blocks from the beach but right on the intra-coastal, has it's own water taxi stop, and is next to a nice mall and numerous restaurants.

erms Posted July 17, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Unfortunately I am not going on a cruise but visiting friends which is great but we don't arrive until a little after midnight... anyway I was thinking we would get a room for a few hours sleep instead of bothering our hosts for the week. Currently I am looking at Fairfield Inn & Suites but I wondered if someone possibly knew of which is closest to airport? Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie51 Posted July 17, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 17, 2015 You don't say if all 4 will be in one room but the Doubletree Gallery One has suites with 2 double beds and a sofa bed and a kitchen. It is near the mall for shopping. If you want to be right on the beach look at the B Ocean Resort in addition to those already suggested. Keep in mind that in January it may be cold. A few years ago I was in FL in January and it was 35...let's hope that doesn't happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
