Was there about 3 years ago. Typical H.I. We like Hyatt Place west of H.I. behind Embassy Suites 1 block.

Stayed there in February using points. Close to Publix and Total Wine.  Also, we love being able to walk to the port.

do you mean you walk to the port- to board ship??🤷‍♂️

[Sudoku]

Absolutely. It’s no more than a 10 min walk on sidewalks the whole way.

It is a 10 minute or less walk to terminals 2 (Princess) and 4 (Disney) which are before the Eisenhower Blvd security gate.  All the other terminals (there is no terminal 3) are further, some much further, away.  There is a good map on the Port Everglades website: www.porteverglades.net

soo....we're on Celebrity, Terminal 25?

looks like a bit of a hike, with suitcases in tow....??

Sorry I didn’t clarify. We walk to Terminal 2 which is where most Princess ships are.

It is and there is no shade plus, since Port Everglades is also an extremely busy cargo port, there is lots of vehicular traffic.

No way would I even walk to Princess terminal, I know its only about 3-4 blocks from H.I. Wheels on luggage would get destroyed.

My recollection of that HIE is that there's not enough parking. This only impacts you if you have a car. Otherwise, the hotel is fine and is near so many things.

It's one of our go to hotels as its a bit less than Embassy Suites, but it's just around the corner from the area with Publix, Total Wine and great restaurants. Hotel is standard...no complaints.
