The area is fine, but there is nothing there.

Do you have another recommendation? Thanks!

Would it be safe to leave your car at this hotel while on a cruise? Thanks.

Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn, Springhill Suites on Stirling Road, and LaQuinta FLL are all by Oakwood Plaza which has shops and restaurants. Some of the hotels have free shuttles from the airport too. By SE 17th St, which is right next to the port, you will find Hyatt Place FLL north (free shuttle), Embassy Suites, Extended Stay, Holiday Inn Express, Renaissance, Hyatt Pier 66, and Hilton Marina.

It wouldn't be any less safe than any other hotel, but I wouldn't leave my car at a hotel. South Florida has its share of auto thefts and break-ins. The port has 24 hr security since 9/11.

Thank you for this information. Very helpful. Thanks for answering so many Ft. Lauderdale questions for all of us.

You are welcome. I love Fort Lauderdale, have lived here since 1987, and am happy to help people figure things out.

Thanks for your help....I will check them out. :) We might not get there until late the night before our cruise, so it might not matter if we are near anything else. I was thinking about leaving my car at the hotel, but since you don't recommend it, I will probably leave it at the port. I live in NC, and when I fly out of RDU I always leave my car at a hotel. However, when I last visited Miami my rental car was broken into at a mall...right outside of a Neiman Marcus....first row in sight of the door. So I understand what you mean! :eek:

This hotel has changed it's opening date several time,as a matter of fact they had to relocate us to the Hilton Garden Inn for a stay with them pre cruise this weekend.According to Ingrid at the hotel ,they should be opened by the 23rd.

Hoping they open soon....we are booked there on December 5th. I have been researching some restaurants near the Fairfield Inn and found 2 nearby....

Rustic Inn Crab House
