j3000 Posted February 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2023 we're still trying to decide on a hotel for 2 nights pre-cruise in April. Rates are high! these 3 names seem to crop up often. Would appreciate comments from anyone who has stayed at either lately... OR if anyone has seen a great rate for either somewhere lately & could share... thanks!

OR if anyone has seen a great rate for either somewhere lately & could share... thanks! We were debating those hotels also for April. Ended up booking the Hilton right behind the Double Tree. For one night I couldn't justify almost double the price for the Doubletree and on the Hilton website it is rated a bit higher. We were going to stay at the Intercontinental but decided not to after reading reports of a lot of construction noise as they renovate. Right now he Hilton is $265 a night for late April.

Rare wolft927 Posted February 5, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 5, 2023 We are staying at YVE for our one night pre cruise stay. Will update after the stay but rate was decent and liked the location. There are 8 ships in Miami our embarkation day so was actually not the easiest to find a room at a decent price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the room with the bay view as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us it came down to having 2 queen beds vs a King + a roll-away since we have our daughter with us. Doubletree only has doubles or kings. Hampton has excellent reviews but we wanted a bay view, so Hilton it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flymia Posted February 10, 2023 #9 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Just based on location and reviews, Hampton. It is a fantastic location for enjoying Miami. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted February 10, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 10, 2023 We love doubletree we been there a few times and going again next month , lobby area has a small mall with several restaurants and bars plus stores. Some restaurants had live music, really close to port can see your ship from some balconies. We normally eat in the Italian restaurant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do YVE simply for location. Older style but can’t beat the location and usually cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMosher Posted March 8, 2023 #18 Share Posted March 8, 2023 We booked through Celebrity and got a great deal on The Good Time Hotel. Lol. I can’t get over the name…but I did just follow a live review from another celebrity sail that enjoyed the place. I was actually really pleasantly surprised at the deals available through the flights and hotel through Celebrity. I have Hilton friends and family and couldn’t beat the rate I found booking through the cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare wolft927 Posted April 20, 2023 #20 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Just stayed 2 nights pre cruise at YVE and enjoyed the stay, cant beat location rooms and bathrooms are small but was still a nice hotel. Elevators are very slow and only have 2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
