Help with lodging in FLL
 

We are flying to FLL in December on United for a cruise. Because of the timing, we will need to spend a night in Fort Lauderdale before and after the cruise. Anyone have any advice of reasonable priced motels/hotels that are convenient to the airport and cruise port--preferable that provide transport to/from airport/port?? Thanks

have you tried www.hoteldiscount.com

Since not a UA question, moved to the Florida forum, thanks. Enjoy the cruise!

FLL is a very good Priceline city. I'd recommend doing the research and submitting bids for a 3* or 4* in the airport zone. The airport is close to the cruise port, as well.

thanks
 

Thanks for the tip SQR Guy-congrats on 10,000 posts

It may also depend on whether your stay will take place in early December or the latter part of the month. Some properties sfift from low-season (or 'shoulder'-season) rates on or arounf December 15th. Otherwise, SRQ's advice is spot-on. Also, don't forget Hotwire as another bidding option.

Near both the airport and Port is an Amerisuites a Holiday Inn Express and IIRC a Courtyard. These hotels are also near nothing else remotely fun or interesting.

Yep, any of the hotels are not near anything fun.
There are a couple options on US1 or 17th St causeway, but the neighborhood is a bit dodgy.

We stayed at the Hampton Inn Ft/ Lauderdale Airport North both before and after our flights and were very comfortable. I believe they currently over Stay n' Go packages for both air and sea travelers.

Pretty much so - unless one is an angler, that is. The Courtyard "Airport-Seaport" is next door to the International Fishing Hall of Fame (and also next door is a big Bass Pro Shop). :)
