Ft. Lauderdale hotels
Hi,
I am having some trouble booking a decent hotel in Ft. Lauderdale. Judging by the reviews, it seems like the city doesn't have many quality hotels (the ones that are rated 3.5 - 5 on tripadvisor cost a fortune). Why are there so many run down hotels in this area? Perhaps if we have a car we should consider booking somewhere else and driving there occasionaly? Are there specific areas in Ft. Lauderdale we should prefer to stay at? Thanks, Danny |

Thanks, Danny You are staying in Ft. Lauderdale or anywhere in South Florida at peak season. You aren't going to find a decent hotel in or near the beach for less than $200.00. The hotels charge what the traffic will bear. Even the dumps are going to charge a hefty price. You might look into some of the boutique hotels and B&B that are just north of all the multi-story hotels. Some may be nice offering very basic amenities and a low price. Most of these have 25 units or less. So if you do find one in your budget meeting your needs, it books up faster than you can imagine. You might try Priceline.com. Just be sure to read the how to bid link's information so you can make a successful bid. If you go south of FLL you'll be in Hollywood. It's a very family oriented destination. Lots of moms, pops, and kids are there. Fort-Lauderdale-By-The-Sea is a private compound with a few condos for rent and some shopworn motels. It's just north of Ft. Lauderdale but due to exclusivity very expensive. North of that along the beach is mostly high rise condos, expensive and you have to commit for two weeks or more. In land in some areas dump is a compliment. Then you get to Plantation with lots of golf courses and big hotels with big prices. As stated previously, your best bet is either Priceline or Hotels.com. Good Luck. -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M. Kochera "Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!" View My Web Page: http://home.earthlink.net/~brian1951 |

What do you think of this place: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Rev...e_Florida.html ? The location seems good (just a short drive from Las Olas and the beach). Thanks, Danny |
