LB_NJ Posted August 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Thinking of driving to Miami for Winter Cruise. So need a hotel for the night before the cruise and leave the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted August 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Most will be out near MIA airport as downtown hotels charge guests $25-30+ per day to park. Embassy SUites MIA, Hampton Inn Blue LAgoon and La QUinta East are often suggested on this board. http://www.stay123.com and http://www.parksleepfly.com are two sources to check. Or stay cheap outside of south FL (West Palm is about 2 hours from POM) and drive to the port the morning of your cruise - parking at POM is covered, convenient and secure but costs $22.day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Girl 99 Posted August 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Here's a list of Hilton branded hotels in the MIA area that offer a park and cruise option: http://hiltonhonors3.hilton.com/en/promotions/park-stay-go-participating-hotels.html We have personally used the Hampton Inn & Suites MIA airport/Blue Lagoon as well as the Hampton Inn Coral Gables/Coconut Grove and would use either again without hesitation!

JohninDC Posted August 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Note that none of the hotels offering parking deals includes a ride back to your car, so plan on a $30+ taxi or about $20 in an Uber/Lyft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted August 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 20, 2018 If you don't "need" to stay in Miami the night before, take a good look at staying cheap outside of the area and just driving to POM the morning of your cruise; compare Miami hotel costs plus cab/Uber with a cheaper hotel and parking at POM (you'll be an hour on the road home before you can even get to your car parked near MIA). West Palm and just north should be easy; we have even been on the road early from Orlando and have dropped off the rental, shuttled to POM, checked in and were on board enjoying a DOD before noon.

spidybabe Posted August 20, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 20, 2018 We stayed at the red roof inn miami airport and had free breakfast, shuttle and 10 days secured free parking. The hotel was clean and comfortable, but not much around. Safe sailing Sent from my SM-N950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
