The front desk lady was super nice...offered to stash my bicycle in a conference room so I wouldn't have to bring it up to my room. Room was great...cold A/C...nice flatscreen TV. Breakfast was a bit crowded but I got my coffe, juice and bagel just fine. All for under 100 bucks. I'll be back. More

Since our last stay the Hotel has been refurbished with new bathroom and updated sleeping room. The rooms are typical size and are very clean and quiet. Shuttle service to/from the airport is complimentary. The prices for this hotel can vary significantly depending on convention traffic. If you hit it at the right time, this is a great value.

I have stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Convention Center/Cruise Port a couple times. It's been 5 or 6 years since my last visit, and it is even better now! Don't stop reading but "it does not have a pool".......Now read on: They have Free shuttles to and from the airport and to the Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale). Excellent restaurants... More

Stayed 6 nights for a convention at the cruise convention center in Ft Lauderdale. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Flat screen tv, fridge and microwave in room. Bathroom clean and updated. The hotel offers a hot breakfast, nothing special, but good combination of hot and cold quick items. Try the cinnamon buns, they are delicious. That and a coffee... More

This Holiday Inn Express is located on 17th Street and despite what the hotel map says, is NOT within walking distance of the beach nor Las Olas Blvd in downtown Ft Lauderdale ! It is, however, pretty close to the cruise terminal and less so to the Hollywood Intl Airport. The hotel does provide free shuttle to both places which... More

We chose this hotel because of the hotel's website description that it was close to the airport. We were in Orlando on business. After business we were headed out on vacation and the plane departed from FLL. We drove from Orlando to Ft. Lauderdale. Our GPS got us there with no problem. We were welcomed and recognized as Priority Club... More
