Miami New Years Day pre cruise hotel

[magicsoccer]

My daughter is leaving Jan 2 from port of Miami. She will arrive Jan 1 and hotel prices are crazy. I have her booked at Hilton Miami Airport on Blue Lagoon for a reasonable price. I see that people report the Hilton being a decent hotel and blue lagoon being a safe enough area. Am I correct? Any other suggestions for $200 or less that might be closer to the port?

Fine for one night pre-cruise. Strip mall with shopping, dining and fast food is about a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel. Taxi to the port the next day will run about $30 unless a shuttle is included in your deal.

 

Compare the Hilton with other Blue Lagoon hotels -- Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites, etc.

We stayed at the Hampton Inn this past Nee Years Day and felt safe and the hotel was nice. We have also stated at the Homewood Suites and it was fine too.
