Best place to stay in Ft Lauderdale Fl while awaiting cruise? -

Most of the hotels near the cruise terminals are extended-stays or they cater to the marina crowd. Keep those expenses to a minimum by staying at the Holiday Inn Express, located on 17th Street, just around the corner from the cruise terminal entrance. Depending upon your travel dates, they re offering good deals for a one-nighter. Of course, they have shuttle service to the cruise terminal...for a few bucks. Oh well, nothing seems to be free anymore.Holiday Inn Express Fort Lauderdale website:http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ex/1/en��Holiday Inn Express reservation line is 1-877-865-6581.Enjoy your cruise!

Suggest you stay in one of the hotels on 17th St or the 17th St Causeway. They are close to both the airport and Port Everglades. Most of the major chains are represented.
