Miami Hotel advice, please

[dkal95]

I was able to get a great deal on Hotwire for the Radisson on Biscayne Bay.... but after reading some threads here and reading the reviews on travel advisor... I'm not so sure about staying there.

 

I want to stay somewhere where I feel relatively safe, clean, safe walks to restaurants, not too far from the port in Miami.

 

Any ideas? I don't want to pay a ton of money for one night... but I sure want to feel at ease wherever we end up.

 

Thanks in advance!

Not out of the question really... .but we have already arranged for airport pick up and for them to drive us to Miami.

Don't go by all the reviews - see if anyone here has stayed at that hotel. You may want to start a thread mentioning the hotel in the title.

 

I stayed at the Hyatt and heard a lot of negative reviews - it was just fine. We had no problems. I made sure I wrote a review on TripAdvisor that said I had no problems, too.

I think you are going to be fine at the Radisson. Where do you want to eat? I would just plan on taking cabs in the evening. That area is particularly busy and conjested.

 

Hang out by the pool by day and I think you can catch the water taxi there also.

 

The water taxi will take you to Bayside but it doesn't start until after the boat show in February.
