HodgeNNicole Posted March 17, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2020 We are getting in Friday afternoon for a Sat departure. May 9 well fingers crossed anyway. Looking at a couple of hotel options. 1) Novotel Miami Brickell 2)YVE Hotel Miami 3)Hyatt Regency Miami YVE is across the street from Bayside market which is where we were thinking about going for dinner so leaning that way. Looking for any personal experience or recommendations please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noxequifans Posted March 17, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 17, 2020 The YVE rooms are on the small side. Check reviews in TripAdvisor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted March 17, 2020 #3 Share Posted March 17, 2020 If your focus is Bayside Market I would also look at the Intercontinental and the Holiday Inn. Just a little bit further away are the Doubletree and the next door Marriott. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HodgeNNicole Posted March 18, 2020 Author #4 Share Posted March 18, 2020 The Intercontental is over $400/night and the YVE is $185 which was the main reason I was looking at the YVE. I can live with the small rooms we are going to be in a cabin for the whole week so what's 1 more night LOL. Just want to make sure it is safe and clean the rest is fine we were planning on using Uber/Lyft to get to and from the airport and the cruise port so shuttle/breakfast etc not that big of a deal.

The staff was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VideoTech Posted March 23, 2020 #7 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I would suggest any Brickell area hotel. Far more options for good dining and shopping, most within easy walking distance. Bayside market is just a tourist spot with the usual chain restaurants. Hampton inn and suites Brickell is very popular with cruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted March 25, 2020 #8 Share Posted March 25, 2020 My husband and I enjoyed a five day stay in Brickell last month at a friend's condo at the Icon in the W Hotel building. It was amazing. I am at the point that I like Brickell better than South Beach because it has gotten a bit ratchet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website says they have a happy hour - do you know what this is about? In the past when we cruised out of FLL we stayed at the Embassy Suites (also a Hilton property) and they had finger food and free drinks 5-7. Is this the same type of thing? Thanks for your info!

Girls in fights on Ocean Drive pulling each other's weaves out with fifty people standing around filming it. Ratchet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've stayed here several times. Great hotel and my favorite thing is the fact that we've never had "elevator issues" the morning of the cruise (we were able to get on an elevator without a problem). The Happy Hour was just 1 or 2 free drinks at the hotel bar. No free food, but there are plenty of great places to eat in Brickell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
