aquafit Posted September 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Hello, We're departing Miami next April, and I'm unsure of where is best to stay. We will get a cab from the airport whichever we choose, and spend 2 nights there. My main goal is to go to the shopping mall, somewhere within Miami centre, and then another cab to the port on departure day. I'm looking at the Tru by Hilton in west Brickell, or the Sheraton 4 points in Coral Gables. My husband just wants to relax somewhere nice, not too hectic. Any suggestions for these 2, or similar within my budget of 250 per night would be very welcome. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted September 17, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Ever Tru or Hampton Inn Brickell will get you your shopping. Hubs can relax by the pool. Coral Gables is a bit too far for reasonable taxi fare, IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flymia Posted September 17, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Personally I would not chose either. Tru is a better location, but not exactly the most central for walkability. Sheraton is next to a nice up scale outdoor mall, with some nice places to eat, but that is it, everything else you would not be able to walk. I would focus my search for in the middle of Brickell like East, Hampton Inn Brickell, JW Marriott Brickell, and a few others. If I had to pick between the two, I would go with Tru, knowing you'll might want to Uber to a more central spot instead of walking. But very short drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of options for food/shopping…all walkable and we feel safe exploring the area. Uber/Lyft to the port is about $20.

The hotels by Miracle Mile are more centrally located with tons of shops, places to eat and a very dense/walkable area. This one, is more outside the center of Coral Gables. It is right next to Merrick Park, which is a very nice area to eat and shop, but for an afternoon or evening, not two days in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquafit Posted September 18, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Thank you all for your suggestions, I'm taking a look at them now. Hilton garden inn south also looks quite good...maybe a more central one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKarenE Posted September 18, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 18, 2023 We stayed at the Yotel in downtown Miami. Basic but clean and very reasonable. It was across from the Bayside Marketplace with tons of restaurants, shops and things to do, very close to the terminal too. I would stay there again for sure.

I agree with this. The Hampton Inn Brickell is probably the nicest Hampton Inn I've ever seen. Also nice and close by is the Hyatt Centric Brickell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty, clean, free airport pickup and free shuttle to cruise port. If you just want to stay overnight it’s great. Not so great if you want to walk around there and be at a resort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is where I may stay for my trip. It looks nice, and I like that it has both airport and cruise port transportation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link is broken so I guess you have to call them to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qkd0314 Posted October 14, 2023 #14 Share Posted October 14, 2023 The Pullman Hotel looks decent. Anyone have experience there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txskier Posted October 15, 2023 #15 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Hampton Inn Brickell....this is not your typical Hampton Inn. We have stayed in this Hampton Inn on 4 trips. Last trip we were there 4 nights. Brickell neighborhood is easy to walk with plenty of places to eat. There is also a Publix nearby for something you might have forgotten. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
