peanutbutterjelly Posted November 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 5, 2016 One night, precruise, flying into MIA, would like a hotel that offers airport shuttle service (unless its an awesome hotel then we could take taxi) would also like free breakfast or an outstanding breakfast (would be willing to pay). Need grocery store close by for bottled water purchase. Clean, updated rooms nothing dated. Open to all suggestions. I have looked into Hampton Inn on 12th street it has Publix nearby?

eandj Posted November 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 5, 2016 That Hampton Inn downtown Brickell is a great choice. Within a short walk to stores and tons of restaurants. Good breakfast included. $10.00 cab to port..less via uber. Join and book on Hilton Honors for discounted rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted November 5, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I too would go with the Hampton Inn. Very close to Publix (grocery store) and CVS, includes breakfast and is very close to Mary Brickell Village with lots of restaurants. Taxi might run $12.00 to $15.00 although not far from the port.

peanutbutterjelly Posted November 6, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Thanks thats two votes for Hampton Inn Brickwell, I will look into it. Our flight gets in at 1pm so we have time to enjoy the area a little bit. Not going to the beach because we have to get to the grocery store for water and then dinner.

JohninDC Posted November 6, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 6, 2016 In the Mary Brickell area there are other hotels to consider, including an almost new Homewood Suites. Closer to the port, some offering rooms with a view of the port -- great view when you wake up the morning of your cruise - consider the Intercontinental, Hyatt, Doubletree and MArriott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanutbutterjelly Posted November 8, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I've checked into Hampton Inn Brickwell, has free breakfast and a whirlpool tub in bathroom. I see there are a Double tree, Marriott and Hilton (going under renovation which will be done before we arrive next year) by North Bayshore drive/Biscayne Bay. Which one is best,nicest etc. Pros/Cons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted November 8, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I stay at the Doubletree when in Miami on business - some rooms offer a view of the port :cool:, and a wonderful pool area. Last minute shopping nearby along with several local dining options (Bin 18 about 2 blocks away offers great tapas and an extensive wine and beer list :D). There is a Marriott next door (the hotels share the parking garage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted November 12, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Anyone staying in Brickell should check out Brickell Citi Centre which has now opened. Only a few stores have officially opened (Saks Fifth ave, Cole Haan are some) but it's incredible. There will be quite a few restaurants opening soon. An incredible movie theatre and by the spring a 38,000 sq foot Italian food hall. There is a $33 million cooling ribbon over head. It will be nice place to walk around.

bkw122 Posted November 12, 2016 #15 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Hampton is an excellent choice. We stayed there pre-cruise. Loved the room, pool and whirlpool. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Publix is around the corner and Bayside Market is about two miles away. Edited November 12, 2016 by bkw122 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
