My wife and I stayed at the Pier 66 the weekend of December 18th, and we were both very impressed. Definitely book a tower room...the view is well worth it!! We only stayed one night, but we found the deluxe king suite to be very accommodating to our needs. Large walk-in bathroom was ideal, and the water pressure/shower was among the best I've ever had for a seaside hotel. The king sized bed was comfortable, and turn-down service is a nice touch. Don't know if the room was worth $200+ for a 12 hr layover, but i got a good deal reserving it on Hyatt's website.
On a side note, we enjoyed the revolving lounge on the 17th floor. It gaves us an opportunity to view all of Ft. Lauderdale from a panoramic angle, and the love seats/leather chairs add comfort to a somewhat romantic setting. This was ideal for a newly married couple looking to take in a few drinks and enjoy the scenic views. Don't expect to get any bargains/drink specials here.
