lifeisrealygood Posted January 22, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2023 We have been on many Caribbean Cruises, but most sailed from Fort Lauderdale. We have had two or three cruises from Miami, but it has been a while. In March, we are cruising the Silhouette out of Miami. We have stayed at the Loew's Miami Beach Hotel in South Beach twice in the past. The location and hotel were great, but we were older than anyone else in South Beach by 30 or 40 years. So, we are done with South Beach. Great, but it was in our prior life. We have made reservations at the Hampton Inn Miami Brickell for four nights pre-cruise, The reviews on Trip Advisor are good, but many reflect pre-covid reviews. So, anyone have recent comments about the Hampton Inn Maim Brickell. Seems close to a lot of stuff. No need to comment about price. Rates are outrageous everywhere in March, so no need to comment on that. So, how's the Hampton Inn Brickell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want more reviews look at the other hotel booking sites. Booking and Hotels. More reviews there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted January 23, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2023 We have doubletree Brickell booked this March, with Hilton points 😁😁, love all the restaurants and bars in lobby area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NMTraveller Posted January 23, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Ok then. I won't recommend the Intercontinental Miami that is close to the cruise port and the beach ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted January 23, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2023 We stayed at the Hampton Brickell back in November. The hotel was fine but the location was awesome! We loved being close to the water front and there were so many awesome places to have a drink or grab a bite. I would stay there again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wolft927 Posted January 23, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 23, 2023 We are staying at the YVE Hotel right across from the cruise port for the night before our April 8th Sailing on the Norwegian Joy. Love the location as it is walking distance to Biscayne Marketplace as well as very short drive to the Cruise Terminal. We booked a Bay View Room so the morning of embarkation my 16 year old stepdaughter and her friend (both there first cruise) can open the blinds and see the ships in Port. Will update after the stay about hotel as there are mixed reviews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted January 23, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 23, 2023 The Hampton Inn Brickell is great and they have done a wonderful job renovating and updating the rooms. The area is great and you will be able to walk to many restaurants as well as Brickell City Centre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flymia Posted January 24, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I have not seen any poor reviews since COVID. It is an awesome location, best area to stay in Miami if you want to be off of Miami Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has stayed here and had to park, could you please let me know the closest garage. Looked it up and seen a few but would like first hand knowledge. Looking forward to our precruise stay at YVE, especially because we have a bay view and maybe be able to see the ships when we wake up in the moring.

Your closet public garage is going to be 190 NE 3rd St, Miami, FL 33132, known as College Station Garage. Anything else is private, and likely not available or will cost $50+ a day. I don't remember the overnight rate. YVE also have valet. There is also a garage at 255 NE 1st St, Miami, FL. That is private, not idea on cost.

Rebels82 Posted February 2, 2023 #23 Share Posted February 2, 2023 EB Hotel is great. They have a Cruise and Park package which includes a ride to cruise port. Check out the great reviews on Trip Advisor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbmrt Posted February 4, 2023 #24 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Haven't sailed from Miami in awhile. Just remember the awful traffic! Suggestions for hotel w/parking and transportation to cruiseport appreciated. Or better to stay in hotel and take an Uber to cruiseport?
