pammyveruda Posted September 26, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I am trying to decide which hotel would be the best for a one night pre-cruise stay. I have narrowed it down to 3 choices: 1. The Embassy Suites 2. Renaissance Fort Lauderdale 3. The new Hard Rock Hotel Any suggestions on which one you would choose? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireguy091 Posted September 26, 2004 #2 Share Posted September 26, 2004 The Embassy of course as long as you will get there early enough to get the free drinks... :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted September 26, 2004 #3 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Hi:) The Renaissiance and Embassy Suites are much closer to the Port...if that is important to you. (They are both within a 5 minute cab ride). From what I have read, Hard Rock is nice but much further away. IF location is important to you, I would pick one of the first 2...and they are both near lots of restaurants on 17th Street as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiCruiser44 Posted September 26, 2004 #4 Share Posted September 26, 2004 It depends on what you are looking for. The Hard Rock is away from things but it looks like a great porperty and it would be fun to have the casinos to be entertained - the pool area is suppose to be very nice (I grew up only a couple of miles east of where the hotel is - hard to imagine there's a Hard RoOck there). If you want to be close to the pier I would pick the Renassiance - we stayed there last year and we liked it. It's nice and the rooms were nice. It's close to lots of things you can walk to including Bimini Boatyard for dinner. I would stay there again. When are you sailing again???

mii Posted September 26, 2004 #5 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I will be staying at the Renassiance this coming Feb. for a pre-cruise stay. I picked it because of the closeness to the pier. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spender Nui Posted September 26, 2004 #6 Share Posted September 26, 2004 No contest. Embassy Suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raudacruise Posted September 26, 2004 #7 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Embassy Suites. Its the same distance between Rennasiance and Embassy to the pier (and who cares, both give complentary rides to the pier). Besides the happy hour and breakfast there is also a liquor/wine store directly across the street from Embassy for those that might want to stock up. In reality, both hotels are probably only 3/4 mile from each other. So the restaurants mentioned are within walking distance. One thing we learned with Embassy, once you get your reservation call the local hotel number about getting a nice room that looks out at the port. Just don't look down, kind of a crumy oil storage/industrial area between the hotel and the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
