Any suggestions of a nice hotel near the pier in ft lauderdale?

We're going to stay at the Hyatt Place when we cruise in Feb out of Ft. Lauderdale. Haven't stayed there yet, but it looks quite nice from the website!

I like the Rennaisance Fort Lauderdale it's close to the port and I've been able to get it on Priceline for around$100 a night which is a great price for the hotel.

We recently stayed at the Ft Lauderdale Grand (soon to be a Hilton property). It is newly renovated and right across the street from the Pier. I think all of the room have balconies with views of either the Intercoastal or Port.

We stayed in the Comfort Suites for $83. It is fine for a pre-cruise night. A basic hotel, but with complimentary transfers from airport to hotel, and hotel to Port Everglades.

Prior to cruises on Constellation leaving on 31st March, X have placed my wife and I in Westin, Fort Lauderdale.

Any reports on this one?

every time i have sailed out of Ft. Lauderdale i stay at the Hyatt pier 66

its a nice hotel and has a great view of the port and its like only a 10-15 minute drive to the ship. Its really nice.

We also like the Hyatt but another choice is the Embassy Suites. If you get your room on the right side, you can watch the ship come in from your room. Also, they have the full made to order breakfast in their atrium included which always helps start the day off nicely.

Thank all of you for these suggestions...we are driving down to cruise on the Millie in April. Can you leave your car at any of these hotels and take a shuttle to the pier? I know in Port Canaveral, you could leave your car at the hotel for the week. I haven't seen anything on here or in my trip tix books that states you can to that.

My sister is driving down to Ft. Lauderdale in March and we are staying at the Ramada Airport Cruiseport, she is leaving her car there and they are charging her $6.00 a day to leave her car there. and they have a shuttle to the ship. Hotel cost $145.

Does anyone know if any of these hotels take car-rental returns, and if so which rental companies? We need to do a one-way rental and drop off and it would be great to do it at the hotel we stay at. Thanks in advance.

Last Dec we and another couple in November, used Hampton Inn Plantation about 10-12 mins drive from pier. Both cases, stayed 1 night, free parking for the week. Sign up for late morning hotel shuttle. Crabby Jack's(?)(Dicks?) nearby had 1-lb MAINE lobster special for $15. Hotel was standard but recent Hampton quality. Price was about $135. Good Luck

We stayed at the Extenda a Stay hotel in fall of 2006 and the cost was $89 + tax. No frills, carry in your own luggage, no big deal. Was nice and clean close to everythng even the Port.
