Natitude61 Posted February 4, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Starting to look at Miami hotels for our cruise next January, and tentatively booked a room here. Reviews are very mixed, however. Looks like it's recently renovated, but would like to know others experience. Clean? How close to port? Better options? Just staying one night; we're both in our 50s so not looking for a crazy party/nightlife atmosphere. Thanks in advance...

Sent from my iPad using Forums Before I moved to South Florida it was one of my favorite hotels in Miami. We would always book the lowest price room and they would upgrade us to a marina view corner suite because we were Hilton Diamond members. Great room with a wrap around balcony with a great view. On the 9th floor in the building next door (other side of the Marriott) there is a locally owned Irish Pub with a good menu and a kitchen that stays open late. http://www.mikesvenetia.com/ .

Like the previous poster mentioned, we also have HHonors D status and have been upgraded to marina view. It is a little older decor but the hotel is clean, nice and very convenient. My favorite was a chinese restaurant in the connecting shopping complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted February 4, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I've stayed here several times while in Miami on business. Shares a garage with the next door Marriott, shopping and dining options nearby, great pool and as mentioned above there are some great views from some rooms. The bar/restaurant in the lobby is a good option for Caribbean inspired food or walk 2 blocks to Bin 18 for great tapas and an extensive wine/craft beer list. :D Taxi to POM the next morning should only run $10-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lido_Deck Posted February 9, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Do you rent yours or know of someone who does? Sent from my iPad using Forums No, I do not and no I don't. You need to go to vrbo.com and check the vacation rentals. The problem with those, though, is many require a minimum stay of two nights, three nights, a week, a month or whatever and they usually have cleaning charges of $50-$75 which usually makes the overall price too high for a one or two night stay. Unless they are perfectly located you are usually better off with a hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
