rncruiser Posted September 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2018 We will be cruising from Miami. In the past we have stayed at the Hampton Inn Brickell but their rates are ridiculous right now. I am thing of staying at one of the airport hotels, but would like to know if there is anything to do within walking distance. Any input would be appreciated.

Rare Noxequifans Posted September 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2018 My understanding is that area surrounding the airport is not optimal for activities. This is similar to many major airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted September 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2018 If all you want is someplace for dinner and to do some shopping for cruise supplies, hotels in the Blue Lagoon area near MIA (Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites, etc.) are close to a local strip mall with grocery, drug and liquor :D stores plus several sit down dining and fast food options. The strip mall is across the street from the Hampton Inn Blue Lagoon and there are other hotels within a 5-10 minute walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rncruiser Posted September 19, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Thanks. Mostly restaurants and a store or two will do. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted September 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Then I would avoid the La Quinta East and MIA Embassy Suites - both are isolated with nothing nearby. Focus on the Blue Lagoon area hotels. Good luck with your search! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteerageJoe Posted September 19, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Yes, I agree with previous replies. Hyatt House or Hampton Inn Blue Lagoon. You can also look at Hampton Inn Doral, Hyatt Place and Wingate Doral. I actually like that strip mall better than blue lagoon.

JohninDC Posted September 19, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Slightly farther away from the port, but you should be okay. Have a great cruise! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
