Where does the car drop you at Hampton Inn Fort Lauderdale Airport North Cruise Port in Fort Lauderdale, and what does the resort say about valet?

How we source facts

At the Hampton Inn Fort Lauderdale Airport North Cruise Port, 2301 SW 12th Avenue, the hotel's pages put it three miles from the airport and the cruise terminal, list a free airport shuttle from 6am to 11pm and self-parking at $10 a day, and give check-in at 4 pm (Hilton, n.d.).

Call the concierge

Hampton Inn Fort Lauderdale Airport North Cruise Port is at 2301 SW 12th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315. The hotel page says it is three miles from Fort Lauderdale International Airport and the Port Everglades cruise terminal; the location page lists Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL) at 3 miles and Miami International at 37 miles. The location page lists a complimentary airport shuttle to FLL, 'Hotel shuttle 6am-11pm', and none to Miami International. Self-parking is $10.00 per day on site with in and out privileges; valet is listed as not available. The hotel page gives check-in at 4 pm and check-out at 11 am. (Hilton, n.d.).

Not on the pages I read: a shuttle to Port Everglades or a separate port distance; whether the airport shuttle serves the port; the drop-off point or entrance; the shuttle's pickup points. Resorts change valet rates and house-car hours without notice, so the page's own words are checked by a daily watch, and the desk confirms the door with the resort's bell desk the day before an arrival.

What the car does: from FLL, or any airport or private terminal, the captain meets you where the airport's rules allow, watches the flight, and drops you at the resort's porte-cochère or the entrance the bell desk names, with waiting after landing included; the resort's own concierge can arrange a transfer too, and its page says so, so compare the two on price and on what each includes. The fare here is agreed before the car moves, and you see it before you book.
