cruisecookie Posted April 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Which Fort Lauderdale Hyatt Place hotel do you recommend for our one night pre-cruise stay without a car? Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port at 1851 SE 10th Ave or Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale Airport - South & Cruise Port at 91 Southwest 18th Avenue. Are the rooms the same at both hotels? Is one location better in terms of walking to restaurants, grocery and/or drug stores? Do you recommend a different hotel? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like the Hyatt Place on SE 10th, because it is super convenient to the Harbor Shops, like Publix, Total wine, restaurants, etc. We just go out the side entrance, cut through the LA Fitness parking garage and we’re in the Harbor shops area. The rooms are fine and breakfast is okay. The staff is really nice. Haven’t stayed at the one on 18th. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted April 24, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I haven’t stayed at either (I’m a local) but I agree with @PacnGoNow’s comments about the location of the 10th St. Hotel. You really can’t beat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lx200gps Posted April 24, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 24, 2023 We've stayed at the 10th St location a number of times. Great little hotel, very well placed. If you're contemplating staying there, check out Valuetrips.com for pretty impressive pricing at this particular hotel. Many discussions about VT here on this forum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine5715 Posted April 25, 2023 #8 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I stayed at the Dania Beach Hyatt Place in February. The room was HUGE! There are a ton of restaurants and plenty of shopping within walking distance at both Dania Pointe and Oakwood Plaza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveOKC Posted April 25, 2023 #9 Share Posted April 25, 2023 10th Street does have an airport shuttle but at a minor cost (I think $5 per room) from the airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, but believe they are changing it this month. Outsourcing? It’s on their website or you could just call or email and ask if booking there.

In Feb we had to call several times to get it (long story), so next time we will use taxi or ride share (its fairly close so should not cost much).

We used it in March, only waited 10 mins, but we were lucky. Anyway, you’re right, Uber/Lyft are cheap and plentiful in Ft Lauderdale. Not a taxi, as many have reported they’ve really ripped them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailmama Posted April 25, 2023 #13 Share Posted April 25, 2023 We stayed at the one in Dania. ( SW 18th, I think). We flew in and they picked us up at airport within 10 minutes. We walked to a great Italian restaurant the next day and ate fantastic pizza. (Called Cucina's). Literally right out the door from the hotel. Planning on staying there again this fall just for the pizza next door!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need to call for them to come and pick up or do they continually circle back and forth? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver indicated during peak hours they just run circles from hotel to airport and back but we arrived about 8 and called the hotel. I'd just call hotel when you have your luggage no matter what time it is. Once you collect your luggage you simply walk out of airport and down about 1/2 a block to designated pick up area. You can't miss it; lots of hotel vans loading and unloading. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hotel is simple clean and has “micro rooms” being slightly smaller for those on a budget. As they say in the States “Best bang for a Buck”. Take a look… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go to their web site and fill in the details. They are a strange outfit and pretty much don't communicate very well, but lots of folks swear by them. I doubt you will ever get any response to an Email. We've used them twice and had no issues, though we no longer use the Hyatt Place. Check out some of the other threads on VT here on CC to get more of a feel of how they operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LHT28 Posted May 4, 2023 #25 Share Posted May 4, 2023 If you are a Hyatt member you can sometimes get good deals I found that VT for our dates was not cheaper than Hyatt this was pre covid Check both options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
