FLL Hotel

[PastorW]

Did some searching. It didn’t see a sneer. Family of 7 cruising out of FLL in November and need a hotel that offers an airport shuttle. A cruise shuttle would be helpful too. An Uber with my kids age isn’t an option and don’t want to rent a car for just one day. Any one know of a hotel that offers shuttles from the airport?

 

thanks!

According to their site they do NOT offer an airport shuttle.

We like the AC Hotel which is practically across the street for the airport.  They have a free airport shuttle and in an area where you can walk to some shopping and dining.   We’ve stayed there twice already when cruising from Miami and will do it again next year.

its basically in Dana Pointe and it’s a neat area to kill some time in.  If your adventurous, you can walk further to another shopping area.

The Holiday Inn Express on 17th Street has an airport shuttle. They also have shuttles available for booking to the port. However, we usually just Uber/Lyft it in Fort Lauderdale.

With the distance so short, there's little value in hotel shuttles.  Taxi/uber is simpler

The issue is 2 adults and 5 kids. Ubers and taxis can’t hold that many.

Homewood Suites has a shuttle but there are a few reviews that complain that it doesn't come very often. They also have larger, suite-type rooms (i.e. 2 queens + sofa bed) for bigger families.

Order 2 Ubers and put 1 adult in each and your problem is solved. Airport shuttles are annoying and unnecessary in Fort Lauderdale. Everything (including the port) is located within 2 miles of the airport. If you need more detailed assistance I can help.

We have stayed at the Home2 Suites in Dania Beach twice both times with a crew of 7.  First time in 20 (before the dark times) it was great, listed airport shuttle on their website, called and they picked us up.  Free breakfast and walking distance to kmart for last minute supplies that we did not want to pack (aka diapers) and some restaurants close by.  We booked a van to take us to/from the port, it was about 100 round trip (to the port, port to airport) Uber would have been cheaper but I like the certainty of knowing someone will pick you up at a specific time.  The extra $20 is worth the piece of mind. 

Second time no airport shuttle was listed but I called and they said they had one available.  When our flight go delayed I called to let them know and was informed it only ran until a certain time (I believe 11)  it ended up working out but caused a lot of stress.  The hotel was also in rougher shape, the free breakfast was mediocre and half of the restaurants were gone (as was the kmart).  Booked a van again that worked fine.

Thanks for this recommendation.  I decided to book this one after reading this.  I have a cruise in 3 weeks and have never stayed in Fort Lauderdale.  I had been looking at hotels for months and couldn't decide which one to choose.

I also have the Marriott AC booked for my cruise at the end of January.  I had the Marriott Renaissance on 17th St booked too but cancelled it this week because the current reviews weren't good.
