Does anyone know when information will be available for this event, such as order of events and negotiated hotel rates on the shuttle route, etc.? Thanks.
A little info (my opinion only) about the hotels in Coral Springs:
Mapquest is wrong if they say Wellesley is a 1/2 mile from the pool -I would guess it at about 2 - more like 3 miles away (same with the other hotels)
1) Good choice - Wellesley Inn. Next door is Denny’s. You can walk a couple of blocks to the following types of restaurants – Japanese/Sushi , a deli, steak, Italian, Greek, Baha Fresh, Starbucks, Jamba Juice, and a great ice cream and chocolate store(my downfall), several sandwich shops and one of the best restaurants in Coral Springs: Gold Coast Grill. Barnes and Noble is also nearby.
2) La Quinta…..a couple of blocks from Wellesley, opposite direction as the restaurants/stores mentioned above, but only a short walk to them.
3) Marriott Courtyard –next door to McDonalds and Arbys and a couple of blocks to Whole Foods Market. If you are a Marriott Rewards point collector a good place to earn points. The Coral Square Mall is about a quarter mile away.
4) Marriott Hotel – probably the nicest as in full service hotel –set off in a golf resort.
I would recommend a car rental as you will then have the ability to see so much more of Coral Springs and South Florida.
Mark Gill should be able to help with his opinion after he makes a visit.
