hotel in Ft. Lauderdale

Leaving out of Ft. Lauderdale. Need suggestions on a good place to stay. Close to Beach-but doesn't have to be beach front. Thanks

Mariotts Hyatt Place around the airport from $35 bidding

Happy Hunting!

Hilton has been closest for me in the past

1 mile from port decent price point from $100 or so.

The closest beach to the port is the world famous "strip". Most of the hotels are across the street from the beach with A1A in between. You can find anything from the Ritz to Howard Johnsons (is that still there - Im not sure.) As winter approaches those properties get more expensive.

17th street causeway has a lot of more budget friendly type hotels, like courtyard and holiday inn express.
Closets to port....

It really depends on how many days who have to spend before leaving. If its one night - Id stay on 17th street - if its 2 or more id stay at the Westin or W on A1A.

Lots of choices by the port. Some are within walking distance. Some even offer free shuttle from airport to hotel and then from hotel to port. All teh major brand names are there too. Best Western, Marriot, Hilton, Holiday Inn, Ramada. The Embassy Suites on 17th street is clsoe to the port, maybe 15 minutes walk.

If you are there for more than the one night, I will suggest go further south to Hollywood Beach (we stayed there all the time). Rent a car from Budget at the airport and return the car to Quay Plaza by the Port. They take you to the port with their shuttle.

IMHO, the best place on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale is the Lago Mar Resort. Great rooms, beautiful beachfront and the best service in town.
