Hyatt and Restaurant Help.....

We are staying pre-cruise in Fort Lauderdale for 2 nights this weekend; one in the Airport Sheraton and the second at the Hyatt Pier 66. My questions are:

1. I was reading reviews on the Hyatt and they all seem bad; has anyone had a recent good experience there?

2. We are looking for restaurants near both places that are moderately priced (~$20 per person) for breakfast and dinner. Any suggestions? For dinner it can be any type of food.

Thanks in advance for all of your help!!

Will you have your own transportation at the Airport Sheraton?- there%26#39;s nothing very close by except their own dining room or the one at the Hotel across the street. You%26#39;d need a taxi for anything else- I guess Islamorada Seafood would be next closest- still a taxi ride and might likely be a bit more than $20 pp at dinner as opposed to lunch. No other choices for breakfast in that area at all that I can think of except at the 2 hotels. Perhaps if you have a car there might be an IHOP on US 1 east of there, but it%26#39;s taxi ride and I%26#39;m only vaguely sure it%26#39;s really there.It%26#39;s a very isolated area because it is on the Airport ';greenway'; where no other areas are developed at all.

From the Hyatt you can walk or maybe SunTrolley West ( no Sun Trolley goes to the Airport hotels) to RJ Gators, Southport Raw Bar or Quarterdeck- or even Outback Steakhouse for dinner - and there area few bagel places ( Einsteins is one ) in some of the little Strip Malls there for breakfast.

Just checked the IHOP Locator and theer is one east and south of the Hotel on federal highway at Stirling Rd. That%26#39;%26#39;s a taxi ride. Theer are a few other ';fast food and chain type places in that area- it%26#39;s not a very high income area , so nothing very good. Jaxson%26#39;s Ice Craem is locally famous but is just sandwichws and amazing ice cream concoctions. There is a little ';diner'; type place north of there on Federal called Grandpa%26#39;s that has a good homestyle breakfast and is a good bakery too. All these would be taxi rides. The two Airport Hotels ( they are acros teh street from each otehr and keep changing affiliations) are newly refurbbed and pretty nice, but the rates are reasonable mainly because they are so very isolated from anything for anyone without a car. I%26#39;lll keep thinking , maybe something will pop in my head.


Thanks Lulu,

Yes we will have a car so location doesn%26#39;t really matter. We don%26#39;t neccessarily want to be in the car for 30 minutes to get to a chain restaurant but we are okay with going 10 or 15 minutes for breakfast.
