Hotel near Port Everglades

[CruisingLover]

Looking for the best hotel to stay in for 2 nights pre cruise in December for hubby and myself 😊

 

We currently have Embassy Suites by Hilton Fort Lauderdale 17th Street booked but I keep reading not so good reviews on the condition of the rooms 😬 Paying approx $280/night so would like to keep in that ballpark. 

 

On that note though, maybe the rooms will be better by December 🤷‍♂️

Staying 2 nights I would venture a bit away from the port and stay at the Riverside on Las Olas Blvd. The location is great - on Las Olas Blvd (lots of restaurants, shops, galleries, museums) with a water taxi (www.watertaxi.com) stop and on the Sun Trolley Route to the beach (www.suntrolley.com).

Define "best". That means many different things to many different people.

 

There are dozens of threads here on recommended hotels on the Florida Departures board, here: (undoubtedly this thread will get moved there)

Take a look down that board.

Don't count on the rooms being better...a few have posted of their very recent stays and very disappointed....Look elsewhere...lots of options.

 

Hyatt Place works well for us and the location...but you may have different needs.

We were just at Embassy suites. It’s a little beat, but close to restaurants and room was clean. We normally stay at Homewood Suites in Dania Beach, but it was booked so we went to Embassy suites instead.

I stay at Best Western Oceanside, 1180 Sea Breeze, FLL. 100 yards from the beach, free hot breakfast, bar that sells food, $ washer/dryer, regular bus and sun trolley outside the hotel, walking distance to water taxi. Need taxi/Uber to hotel, can sign for $ shuttle to Port Everglades.

You may want to look at some places on Hollywood Beach...Marriott, Margaratville,  or some of the small places...it's a charming area and some good restaurants too, like GGs and the new Tiki Tiki
