Need hotel info. We sail June 29th (Sat). I'll be arriving in Ft Lauderdale on Thursday around 4 or 5pm. My friend lands on Friday at noon.

I currently have two reservations and need to decide and then cancel one. My first reservation is at Westin Ft Lauderdale beach.

The second is at Hollywood Beach Marriott The Hollywood Beach one seems to be in an awesome location (on the boardwalk and easy walking around area).

But... it's a lot more points against my Marriott Bonvoy account.

The Westin is less points, but I'm concerned that it won't be as easy to walk around and do things safely.

I know Las Olas is close, but guessing that's an Uber ride. So, I guess I'm looking for someone who has stayed at the Westin before with any insight on what is safely walkable.

Especially looking for casual dining and casual live music. At the end of the day, I don't mind using the extra points if the Hollywood Beach location is just better for our needs, but wanted to see what experience others have.
