1,000+ Club

1,000+ Club (7/20)

  1. Avanti shuttle is now charging $ 10 per person for there shuttle service to the Hotel from the airport, or to the airport from the hotel. It is starting to get a little expensive for any more than 2 people for a 10 min trip.
  2. The airport to the hotel is 2 1/2 miles apart. The shuttle is very fast at picking up at the airport. He is stationed at the hotel unless he is bringing someone to the airport. Call him when your bags are coming out on the carousel and he will be there in about 10 min depending on traffic. If you are more than 2 people a Uber will be cheaper. We stay away from using cabs, some will try to rip you off and charge you like $50 for a short ride. We had it happen once and it was not pretty. We love Hyatt Place and only stay there.
  3. And 100's of cruisers love this place for the free 2 drinks and the horrendous line in the morning for free breakfast. We had to book this place about 3 years ago, it was our last resort and will never stay there again.
  4. We always call the hotel also to double check conformation. Never had an issue. Some dates are blacked out because they are not discounted.
  5. Villas are the bug problem rooms, we have been there a few times in the past 10 years and have never had a problem staying in the tower rooms. They are very modern and clean.
  6. Get a room in the Towers, stay away from the Harbor Villas, these are the 2 story rooms. The Harbor Villas get bad reviews on Trip Advisor, smelly, ect.
  7. O.P. if you are thinking of staying at the Marina Hilton, do not get a Harbor Villa room. They are the ones on trip advisor that everyone complains about. Smelly, mildew. Get a tower room facing the port or the pool. These are very clean IMOP. This hotel only has about 8 floors.
  8. Cruise shuttle is $ 9 P.P. We have used VT about 8 times now and love this location. The Harbor Shops is a short walk out the hotels side doors, walk south 1/4 block and then through the LA Fitness parking garage and you are there. Few places to eat at, and Publix to pick up things and Total Wine next door.
  9. For 2 or less Avanti is a guarantee no hassle service. He is very quick to pick up, as it is only 2 1/2 miles from the airport. I would not recommend a taxi as they are known to over charge in Lauderdale. Had it happen to us just 1 year ago. We use Uber also and how much are really gonna save? few $, and the wait to pick up sometimes is just as long.
  10. It is $8 from the airport pp $9 to the port pp
  11. You put a towel on a chair then go to breakfast, then your towel becomes mine for the time i'm in the chair. Stupid question.
  12. It is 1 of 2 hotels that are the closest to the port. Like 1/4 mile. It has a huge and beautiful pool in back with an outside bar. Doesn't get any better than this. https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/fllgrhh-hilton-fort-lauderdale-marina/
