Miramar or Radisson?

[Dectwins06]

I am flying in around midnight and heading to ship early on. These are both around 100 through priceline/hotwire so which would be better for 1 night pre-cruise? I'm not concerned with amenities at all as we probably won't have time to use them-unless we stay and possibly swim for a few in the morning, but doubt it. Any others ok? Acacia has come up, S&J as well..

Last three cruises we have chosen Marriott Courtyard Miramar. Easy to get taxi from airport, and next morning to get to cruise ship bell hop will gladly flag a taxi or taxi van for you (tip appropriate for effort.) Hotel is up to Marriott standards. We found much more convenient to get request a high floor or low floor as a sloooow elevator, and if on mid floor every time elevator stops on way down it is full. So high works, and if low we used stairs down.

 

In morning if you exit and turn to street on right about 1 block down on left side of street is a pharmacy and next door a Subway open for breakfast.

There will be nothing in Miramar area open past 11pm to eat at, so plan accordingly when you arrive. Have never used pool there but believe it is a basic rectangle type pool. We usually leave about 10:40am for ship as have Platinum early entry to registration at 11:00am usually. Once on board feel free after eating to come and go from ship. As face shore from water there is a CVS to left of Senior frogs one can pick up beverages like soda,water etc. as must be in carryon not packed. They are much more lax in San Juan than other ports we have sailed from.

p.s. no experience with Radisson.
