“The Best Staff”

Reviewed 24 May 2013 NEW

As soon as I stepped into the hotel I was greeted by Gloria and Lecretia with two big smiles and a warm hello. They immediately made me feel right at home. I just wanted to take a second to thank them for a wonderful stay. I also wanted to thank them for finding my charger and actually taking the time... More

“Nice pre-cruise stay”

Reviewed 18 May 2013

Four of us went on a cruise, and selected this hotel for our pre-cruise stay. Of the four, one had a very late flight coming in. The hotel was very flexible, allowing us to check in for him, but they held his key at the front desk. The night-staff consisted of two people, a guy that was very (VERY) helpful... More

“Convient and easy”

We spent $200 for one night’s lodging and 8 days of parking and transportation to a cruise ship. Nice Room, good breakfast and great service for parking your car and transportation to the cruise ship. While the package included transportation TO the cruise ship, it did not include transportation FROM the cruise ship. Arranging that ($20 for 2) was easy... More

“Basic Hotel with Good Value”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

This is a standard Holiday Inn Express hotel. Rooms were roomy & very clean. Free airport shuttle but to get to cruise terminal you need to use a third-party service that the hotel will setup for you or a taxi. Nice breakfast but no meals or drinks in the evening, although there is a very nice Italian restaurant almost next... More

bobe2, Thank you for sharing your recent experience with others. We value your business and appreciate hearing the good news. We are the perfect location for all travelers as we are just minutes from the beach, next door to the cruise port and convention center and 3.5 miles from the Fort Lauderdale airport. I hope to have you stay with... More

“Pre-Post Cruise”

We were here Mar 27 and May 5 pre-cruise and post-cruise. We researched weeks trying to find the perfect place to stay and where it was certainly not perfect it was a very pleasant stay. Our room was very large and on 2nd floor the first day and then the 5th floor. Although it was facing a brick building it... More
