Hampton Brickell or Intercontinental

[Ozzmund]

My wife and I are trying to decide between the Hampton Brickell or the Intercontinental for a pre-cruise one night stay. We will be arriving around noon on a Friday, and would like to do more than sit by the pool.

 

Mobility is no issue, we have been to Bayside on a previous visit to Miami.

 

Any thoughts?

My choice is Hampton Inn, for the simple fact that it is in an area that is much more fun than the IC. Its also newer, and transportation options are a super short walk away.

 

If you miss the bayview from the IC, get a cup of coffee in the morning and take a walk on Brickell Bay Drive, awesome sunrises.

 

The IC though IS a four star hotel, and I give them huge props on the new high tech lobby.

 

Cheers!

We saw pics a few months ago. We chose it too. We are staying there Feb. Just working on a ride now from Fort Lauderdale to hotel. We are also coming in on a Friday around 1

Stayed at the Hampton Inn in November before our cruise. Was a great stay and a great area. I would pick the Hampton Inn.

The IC is a four star and can be had for around $125 a night. That's hard to pass up for us

The Hampton Inn is about the same price as the Intercontinental (at least for the dates I looked). I'm sure it's a good (3 star) hotel in a good location, but for the same price, I'd take the 4 star Intercontinental. It's still a Hampton Inn, and it would take some savings over a 4-star hotel before I'd choose it.

Either one is a good option.

 

Intercontinental is nicer and more of a full service hotel.

 

Hampton Inn includes Breakfast.
