Miami Port Hotel Recommendations?

[Lexster]

I've got a cruise booked for May and I'm starting to gather info for travel plans. Anyone have any good hotels they stay at when they go out Port Miami that tends to not be etremely expensive? I'd love to be in one of the hotels right near the port, but when I look up pricing for May it's insane, like almost $300-400 for a night for most of the surrounding hotels.

You'll find better prices for hotels near the Miami International Airport.

Even better prices if you're willing to stay outside of Miami (probably north and west of the city)

Recommedations on port parking?  We are going out of Miami on Sypmhony on Dec 3.  Considering driving out instead of flying.

Anything near the port waterfront is going to be expensive…period. That is prime real estate and it’s going to cost you accordingly.

When I cruised out of Miami, I used an Airbnb.  The one I stayed at was between the airport and the port.  It is an older neighborhood, not a bad one.  The house is a two-story house, and they have a entrance on the side of the house that goes upstairs for the rooms they rent out.  It was clean and very inexpensive.  The way I looked at it, I had a clean bed and shower.  I used Uber and Lift to get me to the Airbnb and port.  Overall, I saved lots of money.  Here is a link to the one I stayed at.  Jay's Profile - Airbnb

Wasn’t spanking your hand  I just wanted to point you in the right direction. Actually when I have a question, the first thing that I do is search the board - you would be surprised how much great information there is here that may be 3, 8, or 40 pages back on ports, hotels, excursions, etc.
