joanskid Posted April 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Anyone have recent experience with the Hampton Inn & Suites Miami-Airpot South-Blue Lagoon? What is within easy walking distance? Like someplace good to eat & have a drink and somewhere to buy bottled water to take on the cruise? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa65 Posted April 21, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Just stayed there 3 weeks ago. Across the street there is a small strip of stores with some restaurants and a Publix. Walgreens, CVS and McDonald's are also within walking distance. Good location for a pre-cruise stay without a rental car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted April 21, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Be sure to consider the location downtown. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanskid Posted April 21, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Be sure to consider the location downtown. Keith I've looked at that, but it appears to be more expensive, and doesn't have free airport transfers. So, overall, it doesn't look like it's as good of a value for me.

Rare Keith1010 Posted April 21, 2013 #5 Share Posted April 21, 2013 joanskid, glad you looked at it. I prefer downtown but we each have different preferences so just am happy you considered it. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Hi keith, I am seriously considering the Hampton Inn Brickell location for our pre cruise stay in November. Reading the boards, I see you highly recommend this location. Do you know where I could maybe get a discount? We are a group of 3 adults. Thanks for any info. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandiesMom Posted September 16, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I see it is reviewed as a good pre-cruise stay without a rental car. Does anyone know if they have free parking for the days of your cruise? We don't have a rental car but we will have our own car and need to be able to park it. Would like to save the $20/day at the port and get free parking since we need a hotel for 1 night pre-cruise.. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted September 16, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 16, 2013 My experience is promotions change all the time. TIA, if this was me I would just call the hotel directly and ask. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#55worktoplay Posted September 17, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 17, 2013 If memory serves me right, I think the Blue Lagoon location will let you park your car while on the cruise. The hotel is very nice, clean and quiet but there isn't much other than a strip mall around it within walking distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottomfeeder Posted September 17, 2013 #11 Share Posted September 17, 2013 They definitely have park-n-cruise packages that include parking for up to 14 days. Definitely worth doing vs. parking at the port if you're going out of Miami. I don't know if they will charge you a per-day rate to leave your car there if you don't buy the park-n-cruise package.
