We stayed at Great Escape Motel in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea for about $110 in Feb 2014. We did have a car and went to Haulover which took about 20-minutes to drive (early Saturday morning on A1A while traffic was light). We dined that night at a wonderful Greek restaurant two blocks from motel and just found the area extremely charming. We found this place on Hotels.com and we'd definitely stay there again. We've referred good friends to stay there before heading out on the Feb 2015 cruise. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />
