Badgeaz Posted September 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Looking for suggestions for a hotel in fort Lauderdale the night before my cruise. The embassy suites is getting good reviews. Any other hotel suggestions. Mark badger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 18, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Pier 66 for great views. Springhill Suites in Dania Beach is less expensive and has free airport shuttle and free shuttle to cruise ship. Another good place to check is the Florida Departures forum: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=672 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcipilot Posted September 18, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Marriott Harbor Beach if you want to be on the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr3939 Posted September 19, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Doubletree Galleria or Hilton Ft Lauderdale Beach Resort. Both can be expensive at time, but I have lucked out and gotten good buys, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payitforward Posted September 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 19, 2017 All of the above and the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina. I was also pleasantly surprised by the Riverside in Las Olas. While it's an older hotel, you can't beat the location when exploring the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tennislvr8 Posted September 19, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I just booked the Hampton Inn. We are not arriving until about 11 am the night before our cruise. We will be leaving the hotel as early as possible to get on the ship. We wanted something inexpensive and still clean and safe. Oh yeah we wanted a shuttle from the airport and theres runs 24 hours and is free. Sent from my SM-G935V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchor Jamming Posted September 19, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 19, 2017 We heard the Hampton Inn in Fort Lauderdale at the Marina was a really great, clean hotel. We don't leave until 10/22, but will be arriving at the hotel a day early. Based on the reviews, I trust the hotel will be great. Love Hilton hotels.

I figured you can't go wrong w a chain and we will only be there for 12 hours max. We both work Friday and have ab evening flight. We won't need anything other than a bed and a shower when we get there. Sent from my SM-G935V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfleck76 Posted September 19, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 19, 2017 We have always been happy with the Hampton Inn Dania Beach. Free shuttle to cruise port :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted September 19, 2017 #10 Share Posted September 19, 2017 First choice definitely the Renaissance on 17th street causeway, extremely close to the cruise terminal, great area and safe, walking distance to restaurants, nice rooms. Second, Hilton Marina, although more outdated a great hotel to be at also and right near the port also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor05 Posted September 19, 2017 #11 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hyatt Place on 17th is a decent hotel at a great price. Right next door to an Outback for the last dinner you pay for in a week and then a Publix grocery store about a minute walk away that's next to a Total Wine Store. All the conveniences right there. The shuttle is $7 each to the port but a taxi will take you for less than $15 and I believe they charge a couple dollars if you use the airport shuttle, they call an access fee or something.

goldgirl2 Posted September 19, 2017 #13 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Marriott Harbor Beach is a beautiful property. We always stay there. We have stayed at Hyatt Pier 66 a couple of times. The rooms are a bit tired and outdated. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted September 19, 2017 #14 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Another vote for Hyatt Place which sits just behind Embassy Suites....We usually stay at ES (but it's looking a bit tired) so this past March we opted for HP, it's now my favorite of the two. http://www.valuetrips.com has some of the best rates for Hyatt Place.

harryfat1 Posted September 19, 2017 #15 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Another vote for the Double tree Gallery One. Especially if you have a bigger group as the hotel has 2 bedroom suites with living room in the middle and a kitchen. Lots of space to stretch out. Check out the prices at LMT and sometimes you can get it at a decent rate. View of the waterway from the balcony: There's Publix down the street for grocery and wine to bring on to the ship. Easy access to water taxi from back of the hote;. Stop #9 Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G935V using Forums mobile app I've stayed there twice before cruises in FLL. Great place to stay. Hampton Inn has a website feature where you can pick your room the day before. I had picked mine on the first floor but something went amiss and when I got there I was on the third floor. I told the clerk I reserved my room on the website on the first floor. It wasn't a big deal at all, but she gave me a suite (ground floor) to make up for the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G935V using Forums mobile app I just take Uber. From Fll it will be about $13-$15. Way better than waiting around on a shuttle anyway.

imlulu Posted September 30, 2017 #22 Share Posted September 30, 2017 We recently stayed at Cambria in Dania beach. Clean, new, and airport shuttle.. we took Uber to port. It was about $10. We have also stayed at spring hill suites. It included cruise and airport shuttle. Hyatt Place is great as well. We did a post cruise there. The shuttle is not 24 hours though. Happy sailing!

shipgeeks Posted September 30, 2017 #23 Share Posted September 30, 2017 We always stay at Extended Stay America on 17th Street. Close to all the 17th St. stores, restaurants, etc., free shuttle from airport, $4 shuttle to the port, light breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBKL Posted September 30, 2017 #24 Share Posted September 30, 2017 We like the Marriott Rennaissance. Good location across the parking lot from Budget. We rent a car at the airport, drive to the hotel, have the car for the day/night and then return it in the morning. They have a free shuttle to the cruise port. Also close to Kelly's Landing which is our pre-cruise go to place to eat. For less than transportation from the airport and to the cruise port we get a car for the day.
