leaveitallbehind Posted June 15 #3 Share Posted June 15 (edited) There are many good ones with a range of prices. If you use google maps for FLL and search hotels in the area, dozens will be shown. Within a few miles of the airport they are all in decent areas and you can recognize the brands to make a choice. This will also show restaurants in the area. Many have port shuttles and Uber / Lyft are prolific in that area. Just a suggestion for searching options.

Ashland Posted June 15 #5 Share Posted June 15 Hyatt Place. Next door to the Harbor shopping center with a Publix market, restaurants and shopping. Our favorite pre/post hotel great location and just a few minutes from FLL and the port. Try booking (depending on your dates) using ValueTrips. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knbcruisers Posted June 16 #6 Share Posted June 16 There are also several hotels near Dania beach mall. We are staying next month at Hyatt House and there is a Hyatt place there also. Should be able to walk to several restaurants. Take a look at it on Google maps. There may be one or two more hotels there also. The Hyatts are next to each other and about 15 minutes from the airport and the port. I believe the airport shuttle is free, the hotel advertises a for-fee port shuttle, but Uber may be cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhraformula00 Posted June 17 #7 Share Posted June 17 We have been t Hyatt Place on se10th.st. well over 10 times now. We love the hotel, location, places to eat within 1-3 blocks. 1/2 mile to the port, 2 miles from the airport. Never had a bad stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmerelda Posted June 19 #8 Share Posted June 19 We are huge fans of Riverside Hotel on Las Olas Blvd. We have stayed in Fort Lauderdale probably 12+ times for cruises but only discovered Riverside a few years ago. The staff, the location, the restaurants, are all fantastic. The rooms are not modernity furnished. They more so fit the era of the hotel which is fantastic to me, very charming. Everything is super clean. The pool was great. There’s a Whole Foods and a CVS within walking distance. There are probably 50-100 restaurants in walking distance. I have nothing negative to say about this hotel. It’s a 10 out of 10. It’s the only place we will stay when sailing out of FLL or MIA. Wishing the OP a great trip! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lounger Posted June 22 #10 Share Posted June 22 Does anyone have any feedback/reviews on Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ft. Lauderdale Airport/Cruise. I’m considering it for a pre-cruise one night stay. They offer complimentary airport shuttle, complimentary breakfast and $15 per person cruise shuttle. FLL and the cruise terminal are within 10-15 minutes away. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have actually talked about flying down for a few days to eat at this restaurant. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holiday Inn Express hotels are our usual hotels. We stayed in the Harbor shop area, 1500 Se17, 2-3 times per year before Covid and liked the hotel and the area (Total Wine). Watch out for big conventions going on or beach parties tying up traffic. Our cruise line sent out a traffic warning for the north entrance last March because of a Yoga Convention and some beach Spring Break thing. The last few years we have been staying in the Dania Point/ Beach areas at the AC or Hyatt Hotels. We stayed at a day stay 6 hour post cruise stay at Holiday Inn express Fll West in Davies in March and will never go there again. Industrial/commercial area, Dirty pool, crowded lobby and old room needing an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hotel was a little worn in the main areas. Employees were friendly. There was a small breakfast area (paid) that was far too busy so I went elsewhere. I'm not a pool person but people were out there and it looked nice. Gym area was small but I was the only one there. I would stay here again.

The Harbor Shops is a short walk out the hotels side doors, walk south 1/4 block and then through the LA Fitness parking garage and you are there. Few places to eat at, and Publix to pick up things and Total Wine next door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirmation says cruise port shuttle is $6 NJ Based on our personal experience, I highly recommend that you call the HP directly and get confirmation that you do in fact have a reservation. Also, the Valuetrips website says that "10/12-10/13" are in its blackout period. Not sure exactly what that means, so please be extra careful. If that means checking in Oct 12 and checking out Oct 13 is the only day blacked out you should be OK as you're checking in Oct 13, but if it means checking in either Oct 12 or Oct 13 are blacked out, you might have a problem. VT have let people book blacked out periods in the past by accident, so please call them and confirm your bookings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
