You may know it as the Renaissance Cruise Port Hotel; Marriott now calls it the Marina Hotel. Its cruise deals include a package with free breakfast and a free shuttle to Port Everglades, and another that keeps your car here instead of at the port.
It lands fifth because neither package has a published price — and without the package, there's no ride and no free breakfast. The pool has cabanas, and Marriott makes a point of there being no resort fee.
Call for the package rate before you compare it with anything above it.
Book it if
- Couples who want a full-service hotel on 17th Street
- Anyone who'll call and book the cruise package
- Owners of small dogs
Look elsewhere if
- You want the shuttle without a package.
- You want the package price online.
