andylanders Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 You guys and gals were so great in helping me find a hotel in Fort Lauderdale for my last cruise, I wanted to get your advice on hotels in Miami. We are flying to Miami, so preferably a hotel that is is close to the airport and cruise terminal. Thank you! Andy Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I've stayed at the Holiday Inn Port of Miami-Downtown a couple of times. It's a decent hotel, and I love that it's across from Bayside Marketplace so there are things to do and places to eat nearby. Next spring, since it's spring break, we're going to try Homewood Suites by Hilton-Miami Airport/Blue Lagoon. It's close to the airport, but a bit away from the port. I chose there because it's way cheaper than being closer to the port and beaches. Spring break pricing is crazy in Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

michelle Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 If you want to take the RCI transfers, then staying by the airport makes sense, but there is not much around there to do - You have to choose one or the other really, the airport is about 15-20 min away from the Port of Miami, unlike the FLL portHoliday Inn Port of Miami, I agree is convenient is right across from the port and easy to take a cab the next day I have also stayed at the Marriott and Hilton right near the ports, and while they are more pricey the location is great, and views and you can walk around to do things.

andylanders Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Thank you all! We would be flying in the day before and wouldn't need anything really fun to do with a 4 and 6 year old with us... I appreciate your responses.

DocLC Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 You might try the Cambria Suites; we stayed there last year as we needed to drop a car off at the airport before our cruise as we drove down from Orlando. Each room is a mini or full suite depending on what you book and comes in handy when traveling with children as it gives you a bit more space. However, we've also stayed at the Double Tree and had a good experience at their airport hotel, too. Keep in mind that most airport hotels can arrange inexpensive transportation to the port, so there's probably no compelling reason to stay at the port especially if you're trying to save some money.

Hi Michelle, which Hilton near the port did you stay in? How did you enjoy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
