“WOW - LOVE the service at this hotel”

Holiday Inn Express Ft. Lauderdale Airport/Cruise

16 Apr 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel prior to our cruise. It was within walking distance of the cruise port (about four blocks). The hotel has FREE airport pickup and the employee that came to get us was so sweet and friendly. He greeted us with a handout the hotel had prepared of restaurants and other attractions in the area.
In all, we stayed two nights at this hotel - the night before, and the night after, the cruise. The employees were incredibly friendly - whatever we wanted, they had. The rooms were impeccably clean and were stocked with a microwave, fridge, snacks, and bottled water. Every time we wanted anything, an employee jumped all over our request. They even called us after we checked in to make sure everything in our room was ok. The breakfast was the usual Holiday Inn Express breakfast, PLUS hot eggs and breakfast meats for my non-vegetarian honey.
The hotel is close to the convention center, airport, and downtown Fort Lauderdale/River Walk, in addition to Port Everglades. The only complaint i had was that the hotel was WAY too cold - over air conditioned! But of course, we had climate control within our own room.

2/2 found this review helpful

we stayed here for 1 night before our cruise, the location is great, very near to cruise ship port, the hotel provides a shuttlel which is a bargain at $7 per person. The best happy hour i have ever come across beer/wine and subs absolutely free between 6 and 7, great breakfast and all for a very low price. Yes the place could do with a little updating but it is clean and the staff very helpful.

Several shops opposite, the road a little hazardous to cross though!

Woud recommend hotel or a budget break or pre/post cruise.

Fabulously comfortable beds.

Well worth the money

“Convenient for cruise ship passengers”

Holiday Inn Express Ft. Lauderdale Airport/Cruise

28 Mar 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

We've stayed at this classy little place twice, both times before a cruise. Although they now charge ($7 per person) to shuttle you to your cruise ship, they still pick you up at the airport for free. Our Priority Floor room had a small sitting area, microwave, coffee service, very comfy bed. A forgotten razor was quickly replaced with a trip to the front desk. On Thursdays there is a simple Manager's Supper, which was Subway sandwiches, chips, beer and wine. . . not exactly Chasen's, but better than traipsing out to a restaurant after a long day of flying.

“Disappointing”

Holiday Inn Express Ft. Lauderdale Airport/Cruise

Save Review
3 of 5 stars
Hollywood, California

4/4 found this review helpful

We spent one night pre-cruise here. It's a dated hotel and worn around the edges. No hot tub. Small pool. Long hot dangerous (no cross-walk) walk across the street to some markets (Winn Dixie and liquor stores.)

No eateries open nearby after 10pm. Rooms were clean, but scratchy sheets, thin towels and old fashioned air conditioning. Airport shuttle people were very nice; front desk staff inconsistent in their level of helpfulness. Breakfast was okay.

All this for $270 a night on AAA rate. Seems high priced to me for such a run of the mill establishment. I really wouldn't stay here again.

Don't be scared if you've booked; it's clean and vaguely safe-feeling; just don't expect any level of "extras" or super comfy beds or efficient and quiet air conditioning. If you are "celebrating" anything, this is not the hotel. Feels like a stopover point between flights.

Not looking for luxury certainly, but I don't quite see what earns it such high scores on this site. I'd opt for something else next time.

“perfect for a stop over”

Holiday Inn Express Ft. Lauderdale Airport/Cruise

10 Mar 2008
5/5 found this review helpful

Stayed here for one night before taking a cruise and was very satisfied. It was a quick taxi ride (~$10) both from the airport and to the seaport. Hotel was quiet and clean. Room was average size, standard amenities, and also was very clean. Didn't make it down for breakfast, but it looked like their offering was more than adequate, considering it's free. There are beverages and a few snack foods available for purchase downstairs by the registration desk, as well as ice/vending machines on each floor. Pool area was clean but bottom of the pool was a little dirty looking down from our window. Thought it was a little pricey, but it served our purpose well.
