it was super great with Raj for that reason

Check the alarm clock when you get into a hotel and turn it off if it's on

YouTube Video Description

Looking for a place to stay before your next cruise? We stayed at the Home2 Suites by Hilton Fort Lauderdale Downtown twice - once before our 8-night sailing on Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas and again before our 4-night Liberty of the Seas sailing. In this video we give you a tour of our room, the rooftop pool, the breakfast situation, and the shuttle details for Port Everglades and Port Miami. Hotel cost varies, but we felt it was a good value for the location, room type, and time of year we were there. Key Amenities: ☕️ Free Hot Breakfast (served daily) 🚐 Paid shuttle to Port Everglades, Port Miami, and the airport 🚶🏻 Walking distance to the Brightline station & the Riverwalk 🧺 On-site self-service laundry (perfect for extended trips) #fortlauderdale #porteverglades #home2 #hiltonhotels #hotel #cruisetips Chapters: 00:00 Room Tour 03:55 Pool Area/Rooftop Bar 05:50 Breakfast Area 06:55 Room Review 08:45 Shuttle Information 10:08 Laundry
