Thanks for Miami hotel advice

[auntjoy036]

I am planning a January cruise that leaves from the port of Miami. When I got ready to book a hotel I knew just where to come for advice. There were already plenty of threads to glean information from.

 

I am traveling with my elderly mother. Restaurants in "walking distance" for most people are out of range for us. I wanted a hotel close to the port of Miami with on-site breakfast and dinner. Nice, clean, and safe, of course. After looking at several often-recommended ones, I chose the Marriott Miami Biscayne Bay. It had a senior citizens base price no more than the price at the Hampton Inn Brickell, which I also liked. In the end I paid extra for a package that included breakfast, transfers to the port, and a bay view. (I'm a sucker for a water view.)

 

Thanks to all of you who take time to contribute to these where to stay threads. I wouldn't have known where to start without your helpful observations. Best wishes to you all.

Sometimes, convenience is worth everything.

 

Have a great cruise!

I am also looking at that hotel because I have Marriott points to use.

The bar/restaurant in the lobby of the next door Doubletree is a good dinner option for Caribbean inspired cuisine. Have a great cruise.
