Parking in Fort Laudrdale Beach Area (and Resort and Parking Fees)

[miles2go]

Looking at Fort Lauderdale Beach Area at what might be the Hilton For Lauderdale Beach Resort.  Looks like a nice hotel, but... looking at hotel website, it seems that there's a $25 resort feed (which includes pool acces, and towels, oh yeah!), and a $33 mandatory valet.  So, between these two fees, it would seem a nice affordable rate becomes at least 70$ (tips every time you pick/drop car, tax) higher...

 

Faurt Lauderdale has parking maps here http://www.fortlauderdale.gov/departments/transportation-and-mobility/parking/city-public-parking-locations but google braught me to an overview that has a max 4 hour parking foration (and at $1.25 pe rhour, 24 hour paid, it comes to $30 and doesn't offer much benefit over valet parking, except maybe the fitness gained from walking a mile)

While parking and/or resort fees may increase your total cost, the discounted room rate usually still represents a very nice deal as you're paying the same amount in fees as any 'regularly booked' guest.

In most cities you can usually find parking less expensive then thru the hotel (but if you need in/out privileges it can sometimes be cheaper thru the hotel since most private garages/lots are pay per entry/exit).

If you're trying to avoid resort fees you can use our sister site ResortFee.com which will allow you to search for hotel that don't have any additional fees (and will also usually show other fees such as parking, internet, etc)

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.
