Help..Hotel

[ravluis]

Hi! Would anyone be able to tell me which hotels are close to the port in Miami? Also, shuttle service, if anyone knows of a good one they could tell me about. Thank You so much!

Look for park n cruise hotels. Parking will definitely be cheaper.

you may also want to check the Ft Lauderdale area. There are shuttles that you can get from Ft Lauderdale down to the POM. Also, if you are flying, FLL may be a cheaper option.

We stayed at Intercontenintal Miami; could see the cruise ships from our hotel room; quick taxi ride to port, cheap too. We transferred from FT. Lauderdale airport on Go Airport Express I think; no reservations necessary, and they are outside every baggage claim area. hotel was close to shopping / restaurants and CVS / Walgreens. All within walking distance.

Also, there were places across the street like Holiday Inn Express which could possibly be cheaper, but I paid $135 as an internet, pay ahead rate, which was really similar to the "cheaper" hotels, and was totally worth it!

Thank you so much everyone!

In addition to the Intercontinental, the Double Tree and Marriott have great views of Miami Beach and the cruise ship area. These are all nice, full-service hotels. We normally stay at the Marriott - it has a shuttle service that will take you to the cruise terminal.

If your looking for cheap we stayed at La Quinta Inn Miami...cheap and free shuttle from the airport and free breakfast. Ask for a room not on the main floor. I wasn't a big fan of our room but from talking with others it was just our room that had issues, don't know . I believe the shuttle to the cruise port was freer it was something like $5.00 pp but I'm thinking it was free. If your ok with the cost the Intercontinental is a good choice.

Have a nice cruise.

Well cheap would be great lol. Our flight comes in at 11:45pm. So we really will only be sleeping a few hours. Lol. Thank you for the information.

Careful with cheap in Miami. Cheap there usually means bad part of town and unsafe (and some areas right around the airport and the port are exactly that). Miami is one place where I would bite the bullet and pay more for a hotel.

Valid point! Thank you. My in-laws will be traveling with us. So I definitely have to be careful of where we stay. But tonight I'll be dedicating my night to finding this hotel quickly.

Holiday Inn port if Miami is right across the bridge from the port. It's our go to hotel. Worth a look see.

Hampton Inn (blue Lagoon) has shuttle service close to a drug store, grocery store and liqior store all walking distance.

Didn't want to mention specific hotels earlier when I mentioned keeping safety in mind, but that's the hotel were my mother was assaulted and robbed in plain daylight. Never again. That area may be closest to the port, but I would select a hotel somewhere else. Downtown Miami can be dicey.

It's fine trust me, We too flew in late and it was just what we needed. It will be fine and safe place to stay.

Another vote for Blue Lagoon hotels (Hampton, Homewood Suites, etc.). Nice residential/office park area near MIA with a local strip mall nearby (across the street from the Hampton Inn) for last minute cruise supplies. For those arriving late it is perfect and usually cheaper than downtown hotels -- but 11:45 (12:30 or so by the time you deplane and collect bags) may be too late for the free airport shuttles.

This is also my go-to hotel! It's cheaper that others downtown but not bad by any means. I love it's location and how close it is to shopping, dining, cvs, and the port.

Which hotel are you referring to??? :confused:

 

 

I'm so sorry about your mother's experience, Tapi. That must have been horrifying! :eek:
