I stayed at the days inn Fort Lauderdale which is located on Oakland Park. The location was perfect. It was pretty much smack in the middle of everything. Close to the city center close to the amazing beaches. The hotel itself was a great value. They had good service and clean rooms... Can't ask for much more than that. I highly recommend the hotel and I would definitely stay there again. I found there link: http://www.daysinnfl.com
We went to Fort Lauderdale on our last Florida Vacation. There are many nice beaches, diverse hotels, arts, and entertainments, etc. I must say that it is my favorite place in Florida.
