Embassy Suites- Ft. Lauderdale
Has anyone stayed at the Embassy Suites lately? I have booked there for a March pre cruise stay. All the reviews I can find are more than a year old. Also, on the hotel website it said that they are renovating with no information as to when the renovations will be completed. Any information would be appreciated.
Cheers, Pam

Pam, I am also booked at the Embassy Suites for next April. I had read about the renovations and was concerned so I e-mailed the hotel and they sent a reply assuring me the renovations will be done by the end of the year or early Jan. I have also read alot of threads here at this forum that alot of of people have stayed here and recommend it.That is why I booked here,plus it is in a nice location near the port and lots of restaurants and stores nearby in case you need anything

Yes, Embassy Suites renovations will be completed by January, and it will be as good as new. It's a great hotel and the location can't be beat!

Define "nice"... There are many strip malls surrounding the Embassy Suites with many different types of shops, also grocery, drug, liquor stores, and many many restaurants.
Yes, SE 17th Street is well lit and generally very safe. Of course as you would in any large city, be aware of your surroundings and use common sense. If you're looking more for a large shopping mall with department stores, etc. then you can take the Water Taxi from the Marina Marriott to the DoubleTree Guest Suites at Sunrise Blvd., and walk a block west to the Galleria Mall... http://www.galleriamall-fl.com/ Galleria Mall is the closest traditional mall. If you don't care to do the Water Taxi, it's about a 10-15 minute cab ride... If you're really into shopping you may enjoy Sawgrass Mills Mall, one of the world's largest outlet malls, about 30 minutes west of Embassy Suites in the city of Sunrise... http://www.sawgrassmillsmall.com/

Embassy Suites 17th Street
Trent I just remembered another question....I thought from reading other posts that Embassy Suites had an airport shuttle but when I called the hotel directly they said it is only "TO" the airport....not "FROM" airport to hotel. Is this correct? Thanks again....your posts are so helpful!

I haven't been in it since they started the renovations, but they said they'd be starting at the top and working their way down. I don't know what to tell you, but the way the building is designed you'll probably hear something if they're working on a floor near you. Personally I wouldn't worry about it for one night, they're not going to be working at night and I'm always up early on cruise day!
 I'm not sure what they're doing with their shuttles anymore. Many of the hotels have discontinued them, or are charging for them now and I have trouble keeping up! Embassy Suites is only about 10 minutes from the airport though so a taxi won't be that expensive in you have to take one - $10 or so.

Thanks a million for all your expertise, Trent. I figured that it probably wouldn't be a problem as they wouldn't be working at night. I had also read that a lot of hotels are discontinuing shuttles due to gasoline prices. You are so kind and helpful to share all of your tips!

Embassy no longer has transportation from the airport but if you booked before they made this policy email them and they will tell you to give them the cab receipt upon arrival.

From FLL to Embassy Suites just grab a taxi as it's less than 10 minutes away... If you have a larger party and want to stay together, Tri-County/Airport Express has a shared van service that you don't even need reservations for, just go to their kiosk outside baggage claim... http://www.floridalimo.com/
