Cheap room in Fort Lauderdale

[Toddy709]

We are flying in late the eveing before our cruise out of Port Everglades and are just looking for a clean place to lay our heads for a few hours. We would like to find a place that has free airport shuttle, and would like to try to keep it under $150... possible??

It would help if  you told us when  you're travelling as prices are seasonally dependent.  $150 is very optimistic.

Some of the hotel search sites (sunny.org, hotels.com, expedia, etc.) can be set up to search by price.  If you find some that might suit you, you can come back here and ask if anyone is familiar with them.

As mentioned, date is crucial.

Try booking.com

Roadway Inn is probably the cheapest FLL area hotel that is suggested on this board.

During high season, $150 is practically impossible.   Get away from FLL and you might get close to your budget price.

And 150.00 in high season isn't somewhere I'd want to sleep😉

 

OP, you're best off finding a hotel that's acceptable at a price you're OK with.  Adding a free shuttle to save a few bucks on uber is just going to make your search more difficult.  Hotel shuttles aren't pleasant, quick or efficient anyway, always better to uber to port.   FYI if this is a winter cruise be prepared to pay more like 200-250.00 or be a long distance from the port.

Suggest reading the reviews on TripAdvisor.

I have stayed there Nov, Feb, Mar, Apr on the beach or within half a block and never paid over $150. Clean, safe, quiet places. Some with free bfst. Use booking.com and last minute travel who you can negotiate with—cheaper as a member, and make a phone call.

Another vote for Roadway Inn, not cheap but a good value for one night.

I've booked the Sleep Inn in Dania Beach for $170 for Feb 22nd.  My first time staying there, but it seemed the best for the buck at that time of the year.  FYI, it's now sold out for that weekend.

I would not stay at The Rodeway if they paid me.

 

You can always find less expensive hotels on Hotwire.

The Link Motel always come up cheap.  The reviews are all over the place.  The Morrison is pretty new and cheaper than most.

I was just able to book a room for Hyatt Place Dania Beach for April  2020, for under $160 including tax.  It was a prepaid non refundable rate.  I've stayed at this location and it was a nice place. They do offer free airport shuttle, and there is a fee for port service (I think it was like $8 or $9 pp). Also, free breakfast if you are a Hyatt memeber.

I would skip The Link hotel.
