Hotel for cruises from Florida

Numerous persons who are going on a cruise from Florida are looking for a hotel that has an ideal location. The present down turn in the economy should not only be a concern for persons who are looking for Caribbean Cruise deals from Florida, but also a hotel that offers all the necessary services at a reasonable price.

I spent a week at the Hyatt Place Ft Lauderdale Airport North while attending a cruise conference in Ft Lauderdale in 2010. Several attendees of the conference stayed at the Hyatt and were going on a cruise from Florida to the Caribbean. I was impressed and very satisfied with the general service and the hotel layout. The six (6) floor and one hundred and twenty six (126) room hotel is located at 1851 Se 10th Street in Ft Lauderdale, FL. It is about two (2) miles from the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport, 2 miles from the beach and a half mile from the Convention Center and Port Everglades, the cruise port.

My room was very spacious by hotel standards. It was well kept and contained a small refrigerator and a 42” flat panel HDTV. The room also contained a microwave and a posh cozy over sized corner sofa sleeper which was separate from the sleeping area. The complimentary wifi in the bedroom was a great asset, as I could keep up to date with all activities at my office. There were also a couple computers with printers in an E-room area for guests who did not have a computer. This was neat as several persons took advantage of that service to keep in touch with the rest of the world.

I was also impressed with the hotel on a whole. There was a reasonable size exercise room that was well equipped with tread mills and other basic gym equipment. The hotel provided a free continental breakfast but I never partook in same, so I won’t comment on the quality. The other hotel features include outdoor swinging pool and hot tub, wheel chair accessible, business center, meeting rooms, dry cleaning/laundry, smoke free and room service. There were several good shopping and eating restaurants within walking distance of the Hotel. A person had the option of eating at Outback steak House which was one quarter mile away or the Dough Boys Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant about the same distance away.

The service that I was impressed with during my stay was the complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport. The service is also extended to and from the cruise ship port. The shuttle was available on a regular basis and my longest wait was approximately thirty (30) minutes. This was a great cost saving benefit for persons who are going on a cruise from Florida.

I was very satisfied with the overall service at the hotel and would strongly recommend it to my clients. As mentioned previously, it is not only the service but the location of the hotel.
