Embassy Suites Ft. Lauderdale, Fl
Never stayed at an Embassy Suites, but long time Hilton guest. From
what we've been told by Hilton reservations, to us it seems too good to be true. We booked south east 17th street Embassy Suites for 179.99 + tax per night including 2 room suite, full open bar, 5:30 to 7:30 pm. Hotel offers gym, reastaurant, two lounges, and pool. Everything we expect from a full service hotel. Any input? - seahorsep |

Embassy Suites Ft. Lauderdale, Fl
We stayed there several years ago for a 1 night pre-cruise, great location-couple of good restaurants within a short walk. At the time the place seemed a little worn but according to their web site they are in the process of remodeling- I think they got hit pretty bad last year during hurricane season. Breakfast was excellent, happy hours was appreciated after coping with the flight down. Check the papers left in you room, we missed out on freebies offered by some of the restaurants if we had just shown them out room key . Also they no longer offer free shuttle service from the airport to the hotel-- I don't know what's up with that since many other hotels offer that service. wrote in message oups.com...

Hi Sue, Yes Yes Yes...Please let us know how this place is. We are
booked there for our Caribbean Princess Cruise in May. Can't wait to hear how you liked it. I am please to hear they have an open (full) bar happy hour and cooked to order breakfast. I can deal with a half mile taxi fare to the port. |

In fact I'm booked there for my upcoming October cruise. Just so you know, Rick they do have a free shuttle to the port. You will need to book the time you want when you check in (I believe the first shuttle is at 11:30 and I believe 15 minute increments after that). Brenda |

We stayed there a couple of years ago -- great value w/ the free cocktails.
and terrific breakfast. Tropical gardens inside and out make it, for us, a rather special place --- other thing that was neat was that they not only picked you up from the airport & brought you to the hotel, but also took you to the cruise ship the next day. Post-cruise they picked us up at the dock & brought us back to the hotel where we used their pool and other facilities until it was time for them to drive us back to to airport for our return home --- not bad value for $175-200 for one night !!

Kevin called them yesterday and they "will not" pick us up at the pier, but they will take us to the airport when we check out. sue - 45 minutes to go! |

Tropical gardens inside and out make it, for us, a rather special place --- The breakfast is okay but I would hardly call it terrific. They do make eggs to order it is not a high quality breakfast. The cocktails are nice but that is fairly generic too. The Embassy Suites is okay for a pre or post cruise stay but I don't think it is a special place. I thought it was great because I only paid between $60 and $75 all three times on Priceline. I doubt If I would pay $175 or more for a night there. I would look for a better hotel at that price. -- Charles |

Charles, I did check out other prices....Marriott Harbor Beach wanted
$485 per night....Marriott Marina wanted $285 per night....Sheraton Yankee Clipper wanted $265 per night....Sheraton Yankee Trader $245 per night. The other Hilton Brands were on par with Marriott and Sheraton prices. Making Embassy Suites the best value for a full service hotel at $175 per night. |

The other Hilton Brands were on par with Marriott and Sheraton prices. Making Embassy Suites the best value for a full service hotel at $175 per night. I heard prices are high now because there are a lot of rooms out of service, many at the Marriott Marina for example, because of hurricane Wilma damage. Embassy Suites is not a bad place. A little worn and with dated rooms. Good for a pre-cruise. I would hate to pay $175 for it. But if I had to pay $175 versus the prices you got for the others you mentioned I would stay at the Embassy Suites for a pre-cruise. I know you can get the Amersuites for less but I have read some bad reports about it of late. I read some folks have been able to get the Renaissance on Priceline for $60 for some dates. I thought the Ren was better accommodations and better service, a nicer hotel. -- Charles |
