cah14522 Posted February 16, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Looking for a reasonably priced hotel near the Miami cruise port that includes parking for the duration of the cruise. We're cruising on the Carnival Horizon on 3/21/20, so it's getting a little late in the game for us to find a hotel nearby. Thanks for any tips / experiences you might have to share.

JohninDC Posted February 16, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Only hotels out near the MIA airport offer cruise parking deals - downtown hotels charge guests $25-30+ per day for parking during your stay. 😲 The three options most often suggested on this board are La Quinta East, MIA Embassy Suites and the Hampton Inn Blue Lagoon. None includes a ride back to your car post cruise, so plan on a $30+ taxi or $20+ Uber. Your other option is to stay cheap outside of south FLA, then drive to POM and park there - covered, convenient and secure. West Palm, straight up I-95 is only about 90+ minutes from the port, and we have even left Orlando early and made it onto the ship in time for lunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noxequifans Posted February 16, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2020 In Miami, the general suggestion is to park only at the Port. Perhaps someone can suggest a place outside of Miami that meets your needs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps someone can suggest a place outside of Miami that meets your needs. Parking at a hotel is fine. To the OP the options are extremely limited for hotels that offer this. I have only heard of the ones listed above. You can of course park at the port for $22/day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cah14522 Posted February 18, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I have found a couple different Holiday Inn Express options by going through Stay123.com . One is on NW 36th Street in Doral, and one is on NW 87th Avenue. Is anyone familiar with these hotels, or the website that my wife found to use?

Flymia Posted February 18, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I would just call those hotels directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, why you say that and would handle it that way? I've done it both ways in the past - through a booking service such as this and directly with the hotel. Sometimes the hotel will say they are sold out, even though a booking service is able to get you in via a reserved block of rooms, and vice versa.

Flymia Posted February 18, 2020 #8 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) I usually don't book with hotels honestly. I like using hotels.com for their ease of use, 10% cash back, and price guarantee. However, I have never heard of 123save.com in my life, their website looks like garbage, it just screams "scam" or sometimes you get a good deal sometimes you don't have a room type of place. Maybe someone else can provide a review of their experience using the site, but when I see a website that looks like that I RUN away.

JohninDC Posted February 18, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 18, 2020 www.stay123.com and www.parksleepfly.com are two sites often suggested on this board for those looking for hotel/parking packages. I used the 123 site a few years ago without issues. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site is 123stay.com, and we have used them at least once before for prior cruises. As another poster noted, they are legitimate, but their customer service / response time might be lacking a bit. Thanks for your feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
