Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is a busy gateway for cruise passengers heading to Port Everglades and travelers exploring South Florida. Motels near the airport offer a practical alternative to high-rise hotels, with a focus on free parking, quick access to terminals, and lower nightly rates. Expect to pay $60 to $120 per night for a standard room, which is significantly less than beachfront resorts.
The Best Western Fort Lauderdale Airport Cruise Port sits 8 minutes from the airport and includes a free shuttle, outdoor pool, and buffet breakfast. For extended stays, HomeTowne Studios by Red Roof provides rooms with kitchenettes and stovetops-ideal for longer layovers. The Perroquet Hotel, a mile from the beach, offers a quieter setting with an outdoor pool and family rooms. All properties feature free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a refrigerator or microwave, making them suitable for budget-conscious travelers.
