ddaz Posted August 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Howdy We are looking for a hotel nearby the Amtrak train station. My Father-in-law is taking the train after his cruise and asked me to find him a hotel near the train station. I am looking for a nice hotel in the area. Has anyone made this type of connection? What is your recommendation? All replies are appreciated Thanks ddaz GBY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted August 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2017 The train station is north of the MIA airport; I would chose a nicer area near the MIA airport (Blue Lagoon - Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites, etc.) and use a taxi or Uber to get to the station. Alternative is to stay downtown and take a longer taxi/Uber to get to your train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunello22 Posted August 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2017 There are no "nice" hotels near the Amtrak station, as the area itself is rather dismal. Look for a hotel in Downtown Miami near POM or the Blue Lagoon area near MIA. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaz Posted August 17, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Howdy JohninDC & brunello22, Many thanks for your replies! I was a little bit concerned about hotels in the area of the amtrak station, as the train stations are not located in the nicest parts of town. I will go ahead and probably search for something nearer to the airport. Have a Blessed day! ddaz GBY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langoustine Posted August 17, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Some of the MIA airport hotels are also in terrible locations. Check back here before you book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireofficer5 Posted August 17, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2017 My $.02, If you are sailing from the Port of Miami, going north to Hollywood or Fort Lauderdale Stations might be a better, more efficient choice than going all the way west to the Blue Lagoon area.

Howdy Langoustine, What is your opinion of the LaQuinta, Miami Airport East? They also have a free shuttle to the port before departure.

Langoustine Posted August 22, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 22, 2017 As long as you don't plan to go outside after dark, it's OK. I suggest you check Blue Herons' blog for suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
