sk8teacher Posted June 23, 2009 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hollywood La Quinta. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colakid Posted June 23, 2009 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Stayed at LaQuinta in Hollywood this spring. They picked us up from the airport for free then also took us to the ship for free the next morning. Breakfast was ok but the lunch aboard ship started everything going for the next 15 days. Wife was happy with motel. Happy sailing. Colakid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandrac213 Posted June 23, 2009 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The Lago Mar is absolutely beautiful, nice and quiet and right on the beach next to the cruise port. We grab a coffee in the early morning hours, go out to the jedi and watch the ships come back in before we head out for our cruise in the afternoon.

bepsf Posted June 23, 2009 #6 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Courtyard Marriott on the Beach - I highly suggest getting an oceanview room since you're just across the street from the ocean, but even the suites which face North and South have ocean views. (And Bubba Gumps is right downstairs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare many cruises Posted June 23, 2009 #7 Share Posted June 23, 2009 We like the Renaissance on 17th Street. You can see the ships from your hotel window & there are good restaurants & a Crown Wine/Liquor store all within walking distance. The Renaissance has also recently been totally renovated & it's beautiful. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wittrott Posted June 23, 2009 #8 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hi, We have stayed at the Hyatt 17th st.Very nice and quiet.We were in a king room facing the ocean and the cruise port.The price right now is the same as the Hyatt Place off of 17th st.The hyatt plac very nice and quiet also.They also offer free shuttle from airport to hotel and than next morning free breakfast and free shuttle to the cruise port.We got it for Oct 09 cruise 2 adults/2 13 yr old girls $149.00.The Hyatt you need to get a taxi from airport and than to cruise port.The taxi can get high if the bridge is up.Every time we were in the taxi the bridge went up.It cost us $18.00 to go to the cruise port.It is only quarter mile away.But the bridge was up and the meter kept running.And breakfast at the Hyatt was $80.00 for 4 of us.I would say the Hyatt Place is very nice for the money rooms are nice.This is the 2nd time we are staying there. Happy Sailing Bonnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usha Posted June 23, 2009 #9 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I'd recommend either Renaissance on 17th street or Courtyard Marriott Ft. Lauderdale Beach. Both are lovely, quiet hotels, close to the pier, and (depending on your room location) views of the ships .:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kescott98 Posted June 23, 2009 #10 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I recommend the Comfort Inn and Suites in Ft. Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextOne Posted June 23, 2009 #11 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Another vote for the Renaissance! Quiet, but within walking distance of the water shuttle and gave us free transportation to the cruise terminal. We'll be staying there again in November.

LindaM Posted June 23, 2009 #12 Share Posted June 23, 2009 We were extremely pleased with it. It's off the main strip, but only just behind it. The location was great---tons of restaurants within walking distance. We had a corner room with a view of the ocean and the cruiseport. The room was clean and the furnishings pretty new. I would stay there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Cruises Posted June 23, 2009 #14 Share Posted June 23, 2009 We stayed at a quiet "motel" in Dania, FL not far from the port. It was the Super 8, 333 So Federal Highway, Dania, FL 33004, 954-921-6500. The room was very clean and the staff very helpful. They let us check in early also ... our flight came in around 9:30 am with no extra charge for the early check-in. There was also a nice continental breakfast the next morning. This Super 8 has a "free" shuttle from the airport to the motel and also provides the same "free" shuttle service to the cruise ship terminals. We would definitely stay there if we left on another cruise from Ft. Lauderdale again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satchiesmom Posted June 24, 2009 #17 Share Posted June 24, 2009 We stay at the Renaissance on 17th when in FLL and have never had a bad experience there. Very close to the cruise port and lots of restaurants nearby. Total Wine is withing walking distance and there is a Publix supermarket very close also.

MKMC Posted June 24, 2009 Author #18 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Thanks to everyone. We were tired of being woken up constantly in hotels the cruise ships booked us into. We now have lots of wonderful places to choose from. Kathleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
