Much more convenient and plenty to do in the evening, the only downside is that it may be a bit noisy around there. Stayed at the Marriott in December, it was ok but no more than that.

Elainemh Posted August 11, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 11, 2017 My daughter and I just stayed at the Holiday Inn Port of Miami in May. We also have previously stayed at The Intercontinental which was not available for our stay in May. The convenience for both of these hotels is the Bayside Marketplace is just across the street. A short taxi drive to the port. From both hotels you can watch the ships come into the port in the morning. I would not hesitate to book the Holiday Inn again.

retiredtman Posted August 11, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 11, 2017 We always stay at the Marriott Biscayne Bay in Miami. It is first rate and has great views of the cruise ships. About 5 minutes to ships via cab ($12). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordylad Posted August 11, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted August 11, 2017 thanks can you walk to the marketplace from the Marriott or the Intercontinental as both are available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedprincess Posted August 11, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 11, 2017 thanks can you walk to the marketplace from the Marriott or the Intercontinental as both are available? From the Marriott, you can take the MetroMover, which is free, and about a 3 or 4 minute walk from hotel. Takes you straight to the Bayside stop, which is next to the Holiday Inn. From there, 2 or 3 minute walk, just like being at Holiday Inn. It runs ever few minutes all day/night long and is totally free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradleyk Posted August 12, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 12, 2017 We recently sailed out of Miami in May and booked at the Double Tree biscayne bay. You can walk the 3/4 mile to Bayside or just take an uber or lyft for $4... much better option in my opinion. We really enjoyed the hotel and here is a link to my video of the room. Let me know if you have any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted August 12, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 12, 2017 You can walk to Bayside from the Marriott or next door Doubletree; I would suggest taking a cab or Uber back in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealBatman Posted August 12, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 12, 2017 We prefer the Holdiay Inn, Miami and prefer the Bay View rooms. (have stayed in the Marriott as well, and it works well for a pre-cruise hotel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musik07 Posted August 13, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 13, 2017 We have stayed at the YVE (very small rooms, only two elevators and one wasn't working during our stay, right across from Bayside and next to CVS) which was ok and the Hampton Inn Brickell (a block from the metro mover, easy trip to Bayside, great breakfast, gave us drink coupons, nice pool area and lobby with pool and places to relax, near public, 7-11 and starbucks). I thought the Hampton Inn was much nicer for basically paying the same price! It was a bit longer of a ride to the port (uber xl was about 16 before tip). We were at the Hampton 2 weeks ago and YVE last summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare whitshel Posted August 13, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 13, 2017 We're at the Marriott Biscayne bay right now. Pretty nice hotel. We jumped on the metro mover thing last night and went to Bayside market. Very easy and close. Nice rooms, great service. On a lil East coast trip, 4 hotel stays, all but 1 used Priceline bidding or Express deals, all 4 were Marriott properties. Rating 1. Gaylord National (Washington DC) by far 2. Renaissance downtown Pittsburgh 3. Marriott Biscayne bay 4 Marriott Niagra falls Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted August 13, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 13, 2017 HI across from Bayside marketplace has a newer on site restaurant ( hotel prices but good service and food ) and ground floor area. Very convenient...we mostly cruise from Port Everglades but for Miami port the HI works well for a pre cruise stay of 1 or 2 days..there are shops and eateries at Bayside of many types and nice park areas in the main avenue.
