Good Hotel for Pre-cruise stay

Cuisers from Kansas Nov 2, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

We have stayed here 4 time, always the night before a cruise. Two good restaurants within 1 block walking distance. Drug ... store across the street and liquor store 4 to 5 blocks away. So good location to stay at the night before taking a cruise. Also, the free breakfast buffet was terrific, but, you can't always get the free breakfast deal at this hotel.

Just a short ride 8minutes to LuLu's on the beach will get you all the people watching you want. And everything about the renaissance is very nice. You will be surprised how few people are in the dining room once you eat there. Good views of the harbor or waterway.

As a couple we have stayed a few times at the renaissance. One of the best pools and hot tubs with privacy and never anyone ... in them. Great food and drink. Location is perfect along the waterway but a very short cab or car drive to LU LU's and other fun night spots.

Our stay at the Renaissance Ft. Lauderdale was very enjoyable. It was a short stay - only one night - but it was pleasant. ... The Renaissance had obviously been updated in decor, was clean, comfortable and the staff was great. Everything was in working order and the staff there were very friendly and helpful. It was easy access to the airport and to the cruise port. I would definitely stay again on a return trip to Ft. Lauderdale.

The Renaissance Ft. Lauderdale was redecorated and was very pleasing. The staff went out of their way to make our stay the ... best possible. The rooms were very comfortable and had adequate space. Big closets in the rooms. The hotel is located right across from the convention center and very near the beach. The whole experience was great while staying at the Renaisance Ft. Lauderdale! I would definitely stay here again.
