Doubletree grand or Miami Hyatt?

[Boatingmom]

Which would choose for a family of four with semi adult children (17 and 19 year old) pre cruise??

I've stayed at both and prefer the Doubletree:

 

The Doubletree has a much nicer pool and view, the Hyatt has much more within walking distance (restaurants, stores, Bayside, etc). If you stay at the Doubletree, the Metromover stop is close by which will get you to Bayside Marketplace.....and is free of charge.

Doubletree also offers some rooms with a view of the port! :cool:

 

The bar/restaurant in the lobby of the Doubeltree is a good option for Caribbean inspired food, or walk two blocks to Bin 18 (Biscayne & 18th) for great tapas and an extensive wine and craft beer list. :D Several other local dining options in the area - Bayside is mostly chain dining options (Bubba Gumps, etc.)
