Azamara hotels in Miami

[MomC]

Is anyone familiar with the hotels Azamara uses for their precruise passengers in Miami?  If so, what are your thoughts about them?  I like to stay where the cruise line puts their passengers because  there is usually someone in the lobby with information, however, the cost is double what I can book myself. Transfers and breakfast factor into that decision though.

Thanks for your input.

Last March they were using Marriott. Originally we were booked through Azamara for hotel and transfer at the JW Marriott. When we arrived at hotel they had no record of us being booked there. Azamara had switched to the other Marriott and had failed to notify us.

The JW Marriott staff took care of us and it was a very nice hotel. We took a cab to port for around $40.00 if I remember correctly. Our TA was very apologetic and in compensation is providing us free lodging in Barcelona for our June 2023 on the Journey.
