Seahawkie Posted March 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi, We booked this hotel in downtown Miami (SpringHill Suites Miami Downtown/Medical Center) the night before the cruise. It's approx 4 miles from POM and the hotel offers shuttle to POM for $8/pp. We have 5 in our party, does that seem reasonable? or are we better off with a taxi? Thank you much. Our first time staying over night in Miami so any tips/info is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted March 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Cab fare, including mini-van taxis which you'll need for 5 plus bags, will be about $25-30+tip, saving you about $10 off the $40+tip for the hotel shuttle. I'd let the hotel desk call the cab for you - they know who is reliable. UberXL is another option - you can use the Uber app with the hotel address and POM to get a fare estimate, but it should be about the same as cab fare (but usually a nicer, cleaner ride ;) ) Good luck! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flymia Posted March 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Just an FYI that is an extremely deceiving name. That hotel is no where near what anyone would consider Downtown Miami. I would only stay there if all you want is a bed at night. Nothing around there is good and at night its not a great area. A taxi or even better Uber XL will likely be cheaper.

Rare Keith1010 Posted March 21, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I would take a taxi or uber rather then a shuttle. You can leave when you want. This is an example why I don't choose hotels with shuttles. I would look at staying downtown. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawkie Posted March 21, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Thank you all for your input and advice. I picked this hotel because it was close to POM and has really good reviews. From hearing what you've said I will go with a cab then. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
