Can you suggest Miami hotel-VERY safe and VERY clean?

[motherchic]

Never dawned on me that our 1 day pre-cruise in Miami, is over Presidents Day weekend.

It was suggested that i can try Priceline later but probably not with much luck

Sooo..... i need to book a hotel for one day.

Very safe

Very clean

Near something to do

Does not need to be on the beach

should be a 3 star

Any suggestions?

Thank you much

The Setai is GORGEOUS!! If only I could figure out how to pay for an extended stay there. The $1,000 per night price tag is so far out of my budget!

The Biltmore and Hyatt - both in Coral Gables.

True, but the cruise package includes transportation to or from the port or airport. :p

I've read some recent reviews of hotels close to the airport - Blue Lagoon, LaQuinta, etc., - wouldn't be near the beach but you said that wasn't necessary. Also, would assume that airport transfers are included if the hotels are near the airport. I believe some have breakfast as well. Bet prices are much cheaper than downtown or SB.

Has anyone stayed at the Springhill Suites Miami Airport South? We're having a problem finding hotels that will accomodate 5 in a room. Is there shopping (last minute items) or dining within walking distance?

[motherchic]

I called , i think Expedias, toll free #. Asked about restaurants. The young man i spoke to said that being a "business type hotel" that restaurants would be near by. I dont know about shopping. best way to find out- give them a call, whats in walking distance.There are just two of us so i ended up booking a 1 night at the Hampton, near the Bayside market.

Good luck with your search

We stayed at Hyatt Regency in downtown Miami, great hotel, was clean, safe and great location.

i agree with the hyatt. we got it on priceline for about $140 night. Trip Advisor reviews weren't to good, so i was worried. But the rooms were wonderful, service great, and a great balcony to seat and relax.

Did try the Hyatt, but it was booked for that weekend.

I ended up booking the Hampton near Bayside. Glad to have gotten that. Couldnt believe how so many places were already booked up

Try Days Inn Miami Airport North. It's reasonable and clean.

[crisndeefromde]

try the Mutiny in Coconut Grove. Many nice places that are very reasonable to eat at and shop at. A very safe area too.

Most (no all) in the Blue Lagoon area are newer and a safer area. We did Amerisuites in Blue Lagoon and it was great and felt safe. They had airport shuttle and a good breakfast. Big rooms. There were 5 of us.

Where is this area?:)

[betcat]

I think it is south of the Miami airport. Dont know the Miami area very good. Remember it was like a 5 min drive from the airport. I know someone else has said they also like the Hampton Inn blue lagoon. It is someplace that the hotel chains are building newer hotels.

Blue Lagoon Drive is a 5 minute drive from Miami International Airport. Very close, most hotels in that area have a shuttle for free that runs every 1/2 hour I think. We stay at the Hilton on Blue Lagoon Drive and we will be staying there for 3 nights post-cruise next month. I love this hotel, its extremely clean and very classy, lots of stuff nearby. Malls, downtown, restaurants, Walgreens etc.
