PattBenatar Posted March 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2017 My motel I used last time went up to 400 bucks a night for same package and now charge for breakfast. I need a secure parking spot for the duration of the cruise and prefer a suite or king size bed. Hilton Garden Inn by the Airport went from 200 bucks to over 400 so that place is a no thanks. Shuttle to port would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Girl 99 Posted March 21, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Prices will vary depending on the date(s) of your stay but we have used both the Hampton Inn & Suites Airport Blue Lagoon as well as the Hampton Inn Coconut Grove/Coral Gables. Both were under $200/night with taxes and included free parking, free breakfast and free shuttle to the port for 2 in the morning. Additional shuttle passengers were $10 each. There is no return shuttle to the hotel after your cruise, so a taxi or Uber (cheaper) can get you back to the hotel to pick up your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loanshark Posted March 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Assuming you need a hotel on 12/1 based on your signature: All of these are cruise or park and cruise packages for that date, and all 4 include breakfast + a ride to the ship: 1. Hampton Inn and Suites Blue Lagoon - $224 / Includes breakfast and parking for 10 days. 2. Doubletree has a cruise package that includes breakfast for $189 / parking is charged separately at $7 per day. 3. Hampton Inn Miami Coconut Grove is $165 / includes 7 nights parking, you would have to pay slightly more for the 8th day (I assume $10-$20). 4. Hyatt Place Miami Airport West / Doral $209 (includes up to 14 days parking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueHerons Posted March 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 25, 2017 By a far margin, Hampton Inn Coconut Grove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvtoeat Posted March 25, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I did alot of research trying to find a hotel for our 11 night cruise in Sept. Booked the Hampton Inn Coconut Grove for $141.00 which included the tax and parking for 7 nights and shuttle to port. Extra days parking was $5.00 per day. This was the best deal I could find. Way cheaper than parking at the port and eliminates having to rush the day of sailing. Even adding in the price to return to the hotel after cruise it's worth it.

victory2020 Posted March 25, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I guess my question didn't get posted, what about safety at La Quinta for car? Is it OK area? We'd need to leave it for 4 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted March 25, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I guess my question didn't get posted, what about safety at La Quinta for car? Is it OK area? We'd need to leave it for 4 days. Popular budget motel near the MIA airport - next door to the Embassy Suites. Parking at POM is covered, convenient and secure - and will cost $80 for your 4 day cruise. Maybe stay cheap outside of Miami/FLL (West Palm area off of 95 is only about 1.5 hours away -- even Orlando is only about 3+ hours away) and park at POM if you are worried about your car.

ready2cruzagain Posted March 26, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 26, 2017 We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Doral. Parking was for up to 30 days, shuttle to cruise was $10pp and if you wanted to be picked up and taken back to hotel it was the same, you just had to let the driver know when getting taken to the port, they took our names and date we would be back and gave us a number to call. Free continental breakfast. It was about a 15 minute ride to the port from the motel. We left our car for 21 days and had no problems whatsoever.
