We stayed at Rodeway Inn, Fort Lauderdale pre-cruise. It was fine. Actually a bargain. Omly 12,000 Quality Inn points for a jacuzzi room. I did notice the number of points went up the next month and then the next month after that. I guess 'tis the season. There is an adjoining sports bar/restaurant that had decent food. Will definitely consider staying again. Next door to Rodeway was Red Carpet Inn which also looked like it might be worth trying, but had slightly more limited airport shuttle hours.
We took the hotel shuttle the next day. Some of the times were free and some were $5pp. We chose the noon $5pp option which came with a late checkout. I'm sure it can vary, but our time needed the larger bus and it took a while to round everyone up before departing the hotel. I think from the time we got to the lobby to wait for the bus until the time we were dropped off at our ship was over an hour - maybe 90 minutes - we were the last cruise ship dropped off. Next time it will be taxi or Uber.
