TSUmom Posted September 4, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2012 We will be staying here. The pictures look nice and we like the idea of the boardwalk but we are wondering how the area is and what is around it. After reading some reviews on tripadvisor it seems to be quite a distance from many things. Has anyone stayed here? Your thoughts and ideas please and thank you.

SharkieRools Posted September 5, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2012 We stayed there 5 or so years ago post-cruise, I'd definitely recommend it! Unfortunately I don't recall how close it was to anything (other than the beach!) but we had a car so it didn't make much difference to us. If I recall there's a coffee type shop in the hotel, along with a Carrabba's. I mean, how can you argue with a view from your room like this? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted September 5, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 5, 2012 If you like to walk you can walk to a variety of places via the main road or the boardwalk. Or you can take a short taxi ride. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB Chicago Posted September 5, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 5, 2012 We have stayed there many times. I have a review in tripadvisor from stay last September. It is a great hotel, awesome staff and walkable to stores and Bayside. You will not be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gofigyawhy Posted September 5, 2012 #5 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Does anyone know what the cab fare should be from this hotel to POM? Thanks, GoFigyaWhy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSUmom Posted September 5, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thank you all for the replies - I think I will be happy there, it looks great and the picture from sharkierools sealed the deal!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted September 5, 2012 #7 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Does anyone know what the cab fare should be from this hotel to POM? Thanks, GoFigyaWhy I would say around $25.00. It will depend on traffic. If this was me, I would just call the hotel. They'll know for sure. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamiyogi Posted September 5, 2012 #8 Share Posted September 5, 2012 It is a great hotel, awesome staff and walkable to stores and Bayside. Wrong Marriott, this one is located on Miami Beach. Taxi to the port is $35+/- before tip. If you are flying into MIA, use the Airport Flyer Bus to get to this hotel for $2.35per person. The stop is one short block away from this property.

FLAHAM Posted September 5, 2012 #10 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The hotel is about 25 blocks north of the South Beach shopping/dining district. You can take the bus back and forth. Don't bring a car: $32/day parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gofigyawhy Posted September 5, 2012 #11 Share Posted September 5, 2012 If this was me, I would just call the hotel. They'll know for sure. Keith Thanks Keith, tried that. I dialed direct to the hotel, not the national 800#, and I got an "I am not sure" for an answer. I found it to be strange as I would think it would be a common question in a FAQ.

miamiyogi Posted September 6, 2012 #13 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Its about $35+/- I know it is because from that area to my home is $40-42 and taxi from my home to POM is about $12. Its hard to pinpoint taxi fares, because they may take another route that's a hair longer, or there might be a touch of traffic, or you get more red lights than green ones. Meters count up time and mileage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
