Barsnikel Posted July 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I was able to book this hotel for $103 /night + tax ... It got 4.8 star on TripAdvisor, 4.5 star ***** Expedia and 4.0 star of Yelp. Can anyone tell me if there are retail shopping / restaurants within walking distance ? We'd like to buy some wine to take on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted July 27, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2017 There is a Publix liquor store as well as a Publix supermarket right across the street... Also a Walgreens right next to that... Also, that part of town has dozens of restaurants of every different type and price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barsnikel Posted July 27, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Excellent. Thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flymia Posted July 28, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Its a pretty good location. Its slightly outside of the center of Brickell. Slightly means a 5 min walk. You will be able to get places easily walking or a very cheap and quick Uber ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barsnikel Posted July 28, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Thank you. Sounds like as long as it isn't raining, we'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted July 28, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Great price for a great hotel. You will have lots to do within walking distance. And as someone else said, the back (well actually side) of Publix is literally right across the street. There are plenty of restaurants just a short hop away. It's really only a little over 3 blocks away from the Hampton Inn. If you plan on taking the metromover, it will be the Brickell stop that is the closest to you.

eggnoodle Posted July 29, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 29, 2017 thanks op - just booked the hotel for our Nov. cruise. Our rate is slightly higher than yours but still a better deal than Hampton Inn Brickell. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Yeah, I was seeing slight price variations, depending upon which site I went to. But they were all within a few dollars of each other. I considered booking directly with the hotel for $118, but I used Hotwire for $103. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggnoodle Posted July 29, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I booked directly through the hotel. I didn't want to end up at a different hotel through hotwire Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMitch Posted July 29, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Hi, thanks for the idea, op, also looking at booking this one. Does anyone know how far it is to the port for this hotel? And when we've stayed at the Holiday Inn Bayside, we've usually taken the shuttle to the Dolphin Mall - is that available from this hotel?

Sent from my iPad using Forums It's about 3-4 miles from the hotel to the port, about a 10 minute drive depending on time of day and traffic. No idea about the shuttle, maybe call the hotel and ask.

Thanks It's a great location, really the same area just on Brickell Ave rather than a side street off of South Miami. Great hotel! It's a full service hotel with a spa, bar, restaurant etc where the Hampton Inn isn't. Great bar up on the 25th floor. If you have ever watched Bad Boys 2, they used the building as the Miami police station. There is a CVS that is open 24 hours (just not the pharmacy part) 1 very short block north. The block is only 1 building so it's very close. You are also walkable to 2 different Publix grocery stores. There is a liquor store right around the corner as well as a 7-11. You can walk to Mary Brickell, restaurants and Brickell Citi Centre. I use Uber whenever I go to the port and I'm extremely close to the CVS.

Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted August 4, 2017 #15 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Thanks for answering so promptly. :) Great information! Appreciate it. You are welcome! FYI, the lobby of the hotel is up on 25. There is a concierge desk down on the main floor. You go up to 25 to then take the hotel elevators back down to your hotel room!
