For the HOTWIRE property above, I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.

If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities then what you have listed above? Using this method this is the full list of amenities i'm seeing for the 4* hotel offered in this zone for your dates:

Pet Friendly

Fitness

Pool

Restaurant

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

Blind Accessible

Deaf Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Handicapped Parking

Roll-in Shower

... if this is what you're seeing, my best guess for this one would be the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina.

Those are the complete list for amenities.  Thanks for the information.  We have decided not to book this deal and still looking.  We really want airport transportation to the hotel.  We are staying one night precruise.

We really want airport transportation to the hotel.

The majority of hotels in the Downtown area (especially at the 4* level) don't offer shuttle service. A taxi from the Airport to 'Downtown' is about $10-$15 dollars so i wouldn't focus too much on hotels that only offer shuttle service as this will limit your options... better to focus on a deal where the savings are enough that even an extra $10-$15 per nite for the room (to account for taxi fare) would still be a very nice deal.

If the $10-$15 puts you over budget i'd suggest looking at the Airport zone where you are more likely to find hotels that include shuttle service.

 

We are staying one night precruise.

I found a 2* property on PRICELINE EXPRESS Ft Lauderdale Downtown that mentions the following amenities:  Pets Allowed, Free Parking, Free Internet and Free Breakfast, rated 8 out of 10 guests recommend and shows the Room as Standard Studio for $48.  From looking this appears to be Extended Stay America on SE 17th St.  Is that a strong possibility.

[AaronJB]

My guess would also be the Extended Stay.

 

Are you looking for something in particular in terms of hotel for this stay (as you've mentioned both 4* and 2*, which are going to offer very different experiences) ?

Based on the amenities listed I figured this was the Extended Stay America, Convention/Cruise Port in Ft Lauderdale DT and as expected it was.  A great price for a 2* hotel that has some great reviews.  Thanks Better Bidding for all your help.
