We have an upcoming trip to FL. Looks like we'll redeem 2x25,000 points for the Courtyard at Key Largo (was Ramada and had included breakfast), then at FLL we'll go with some other brands.
Not sure what your needs are for an FLL hotel, but if you just need to be in town and don't care about beach access, the FS North hotel is a Cat 4. While it's not the most elegant full service hotel in the chain, it's a bargain. You get CL access as a Gold or higher, parking is free and they've always been good about late checkouts.
