pinone Posted October 5, 2005 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I am looking for a hotel that will be able to get me a taxi in the morning pretty easy for one night. I don't speak spanish which scares me b/c I have heard nightmares about Miami and speaking spanish. HELP!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptData Posted October 5, 2005 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Relax on the Spanish. They will speak English there. Try Hoilay Inn Bayside. It is right across from Bayside Market Place where you can buy food (various restuants are there). Taxi from MIA to hotel approx $25.00 + tip. Taxi to pier from hotel which is about 1/2 mile is $6-8. Ask for a View of the water and see your ship in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptData, I think I read somewhere that you can actually walk from this hotel to the pier? I know you personally wouldn't walk it (MS if I remember correctly) but do you think it's walkable? Still trying to decide if we should stay by the airport or the pier. thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted October 5, 2005 #4 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Oh please, relax... You may hear Spanish everywhere you go in Miami, but for the most part everyone also speaks English. And everyone at the hotels, shops, restaurants, etc. speak English! You won't have any problems. ANY hotel will get you a taxi, the larger ones have them waiting right out front. You do NOT want to attempt to walk to the port. It's not set up for pedestrians and would be very dangerous, not to mention quite difficult with luggage. It's a very short, inexpensive cab ride from any of the downtown Miami hotels.
