Alexis Posted December 17, 2008 #3 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Someone on my cruise was looking for a place to park for the week that was the cheapest and stayed here. Holiday Inn Port of Miami/Marina Park is the closest hotel to the piers. It is directly across from the famous Bayside Marketplace that has many restaurants and shops for a nice place to spend some time. It is a reasonable hotel that is kept clean and neat. No beach though, just a pool. I have stayed there twice and will always stay there when sailing from Miami. It fills up fast, so don't wait too long to book if you are interested. I paid $219.72 total for 2 nights in a September. If you join their Priority Club, you save a discount on the room right away. http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/...questid=810278 Here is a site showing you the Marketplace and what it has to offer.

cb at sea Posted December 18, 2008 #7 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Unless you are traveling in the "off" season, Miami, will never be "cheap"...it's a "hot-spot" destination---not just for cruisers, but for everyone looking for warmer weather. You have to pay for location! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted December 18, 2008 #8 Share Posted December 18, 2008 __________________ I posted to them to "Try this one". To me it is worth a phone call. Don't forget they are also looking for a cheaper hotel, not just a parking lot. ;) The original post seems to indicate that they are looking for BOTH - a cheaper hotel which will allow them to park their car at a rate lower than what they would pay at the pier. If that is the case I don't believe that the HI at Bayside qualifies nor do any of the hotels in the downtown Miami district. Their best bet is likely to look for a hotel out by the airport that offers both low rates and free or inexpensive parking. We have gotten bargain rates for downtown Miami hotels through Priceline but none of them included parking at anything less than exorbitant rates.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseLover15 Posted December 27, 2008 #9 Share Posted December 27, 2008 We paid about $86 per night here including all taxes and parked for free for the week. Taxi ride to the Port was about $25 Homestead Studio Suites - Miami - Airport - Blue Lagoon 6605 NW 7th St. Miami, FL 33126 305-260-0085 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to pay for location! Very true. Having lived down there, I saw prices double during the winter. Folks quoting prices in the hot summer or even Sept, double that for season and you will usually come close on hotel rates. Maybe since the downturn of the economy prices have improved??? Im glad I will be there late Oct the next time. As far as finding a hotel where parking is cheaper than the $20 per day at the port of Miami .... that shouldnt be too hard!!! yikes.

cappy09 Posted December 27, 2008 #11 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Looking for a cheaper hotel near the port of miami that doesn't charge to park all week while on a cruise, or parks cheaper than dock charges? Try going to Park and Fly http://www.stay123.com ( also has shuttle to cruise port) La Quinta, Comfort Inns and Suites, Hyett Place, Red Roof Inns all allow you to park for the week. Another site is Miami Internationl Airport hotels with Parking http://www.buyreservations.com. Have used them before in Ft Lauderdale before a cruise. The pricing will depend on what time of year you need lodging. It works out to be cheaper than paying to park at the pier at $20 per day. I just booked Comfort Suites Miami Airport Thru buy reservations and got a pretty decent price for the night before and the night after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
