mickey001 Posted December 11, 2007 #1 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hello all. After booking a room at the Sleep Inn Dania for one night pre-cruise I found several reviews that made me nervous. I just wanted to report that we stayed there last week and I was very pleased with the hotel. Both the public areas and the room were clean, and the staff was very efficient. I really loved the convience of the grocery store, drug store and the resturants that were right there. I will definately stay there again when we cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale next year.

Thanks for the review. We are staying there in March, and I have read some of those scary reviews. Nice to everything went well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob and Linda Posted December 12, 2007 #4 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Thanks for the review. We'll be staying there in January and were also a little nervous with the bad reviews. I feel much better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison Posted December 12, 2007 #5 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Thanks for the review. We are staying there in March, and I have read some of those scary reviews. Nice to everything went well. We have stayed there 4 times precruise and never once had a problem ( unless a small hole in bed spread counts). This is just what we experienced, it's not to say others didn't have issues.

bike1964 Posted December 13, 2007 #6 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hey Mickey, We are staying ther on 2/10. Are there restaurants within walking distance to the hotel. I know someone metioned a Mexican rest. Any others? Fast food? How was the free shuttle service? Prompt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted December 13, 2007 #7 Share Posted December 13, 2007 There's a Publix Supermarket with hot foods available for takeout as well as an Italian Restaurant and a Mexican Restaurant. If your not afraid to walk a bit there's a local clam shack called Tarks on Federal Highway with the best fried clams in the south. ;) 81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hightownCO Posted December 13, 2007 #8 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Also..the Italian place makes the best burgers ever! Glad to hear a good report. We were there in April and it was just fine. We'll be there again in March. Even the best place can have it's problems. I had the most horrible hotel experience of my life at an Embassy Suites. That's a good, fairly reliable chain and wouldn't hesitate to stay at one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raynvic Posted December 14, 2007 #10 Share Posted December 14, 2007 We stayed one night on Dec. 1st and had the same good experience. It is not a Hilton, but better than a Howard Johnsons. The Mexican Food restaurant across the street was terrific. Great Mojitos. The cost of a cab to a liquor store was $12.50 and that included waiting time. I think the liquor store was too expensive so I would try the Walgreens on Stirling next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debr I would be interested in that answer too!! Can I purchase wine at the Publix?Thanks It's an easy 1.5 mile through safe residential neighborhoods if you follow the map I've linked below. On the map point A is the Sleep Inn, point B is the Walgreens that sells liquor. Wine can be purchased at Publix Supermarkets.
