goddess, it is right in the middle of all the swanky hotels on A1A.

The pool is actually in front of the hotel on like the second or third floor and they have a sort of tiki bar.
If you want to work out The Zoo is almost right next door.

Thanks GoTravel. I was surprised at the prices of hotels in Ft. Lauderdale. You don't get much for your money. I had read good things about the Courtyard by Marriott; I think it is fairly new and extremely convenient to the cruise terminal. I ended up buying a 12,000 miles or points reward for a one night stay which is equivalent to about $120 and the place normally costs about $200/night.

ncounty, Fort Lauderdale is quickly becoming an expensive place to visit. Not only is there a St. Regis but several other super high end hotels on the books to open.
Lots of money in Fort Lauderdale and it is more of a 'local' town than Miami.
For less expensive options, you can try Lauderdale-By-The-Sea to the north or Hollywood Beach to the south.
Go to www.Sunny.org and look for the Small Superior Lodgings logo.

Thanks, GoT. It looks great but it's a little more than I'd like to spend. We're not going till December but I'm looking around now because it's such a busy season there. Everything I'm seeing is well over $300 a night and we're going for 10 days so with taxes and parking, phew! And some places are charging $25 or $30 a night for parking!
I'm now considering looking at condos but I really did want a hotel for this vacation. My wish list is this:
- not farther north than Deerfield Beach; Boca at the farthest
- on the beach or at least just across A1A
- clean, pleasant, good service
- under $300 a night
I thought I had that with Embassy Suites in Deerfield (we've stayed there before and liked it) but their prices jump up by about $50 a night on the second day of our visit.
I'd welcome any ideas and if you've ever stayed in a good condo or vrbo apartment, I'd appreciate the lead.
Thanks

Need to escape the snow and have planned a last minute Lauderdale Golf trip and want to use Marriott Points for 2 rooms/suites. (We're 2 50ish couples).
Can anyone provide reviews for Courtyard Ft. Lauderdale North Cypress on Cypress Creek Road and for Town Place Suites Ft. Lauderdale West on Prospect Road. Both are near KZ Ft Lauderdale Executive Airport if that helps with logistics.
Normally we are "resort type" vacationers but this trip we're just looking for a clean, updated, safe, decent place to change our golf clothes. Don't plan on spending much time at the hotel but don't want to sleep in a place that creeps us out or is in a bad area.
Hope someone can help. Any "Ft. Lauderdaleians" out there?

I don't know those locations well enough but I can tell you about the Marriott Ft. Lauderdale airport and cruise port. It is about 1 mile from the airport and I just stayed there one month ago. It was fantastic. Fit my needs perfectly. Using reward points, it was only $120. Free shuttle; free internet high speed, free breakfast. Clean and functional. hard to beat.
