ToddlerMom2016 Posted March 4, 2022 Author #52 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Made it!! Gang’s all here So the hotel has an airport shuttle. You have to call and request it. I didn’t see any airport shuttles when I came out, but I did see the Uber line. I wasn’t able to sleep much on plane so time was more of a priority to me. Called for an Uber, it was fast and easy. $34. Passed Pt. Everglades 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddlerMom2016 Posted March 4, 2022 Author #53 Share Posted March 4, 2022 So the hotel is fine. It’s fine. It’s a bit older and pretty basic, but it’ll get the job done. It had the best ratings and reviews of the reasonably priced hotels this weekend (and still at $300/night!). It was about a 10 minute right from airport. When you turn left from the street you pass a huge water park then the tri-rail station, then get to the hotel. My room is on the backside of the hotel and from my balcony I have a view of the airport and Pt. Everglades. Oh, and they sell Tito’s at the front desk! Would’ve preferred an Eagles card, but ok! Quick two hour nap for me… 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It’s on Cordova Road by the Hyatt Place and Embassy Suites. It’s an old tradition, so I had to! I took an Uber, yeah. Bass is definitely in walking distance but that’s it. We are right next to a tri rail station though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
