Fort Lauderdale Motel/Hotel

Need recommendations for a motel/hotel for one night in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

We will be driving back from a week in Key West and flying home. It doesn't have to be at the airport since we will have plenty of time and want to see some of Fort Lauderdale since it has been many years since we were last there.

What is your budget?

If you want to stay somewhere nice the Diplomat on Hollywood beach is very nice and you can visit the boardwalk and it's on a beautiful beach.

When using Priceline, I recommend bidding 4 stars and higher. There are some dogs in the 3 star catagory.

If your going to book direct, we've had good luck with Hampton Inn and Courtyard by Marriott. The ones we've stayed at have been near the airport/cruiseport and have been for pre-cruise stays. There are better locations.

We will never stay at one of the Quality Inn brands in Florida. We've only stayed at two, one in Key West and one in Fort Lauderdale but, both haven't been pleasant experiences for us. I've read reviews that indicate they've cleaned up and remodled but, we'll never find out first hand.
