Where to stay before a cruise in Miami?

Question

We are cruising out of Miami in November. I haven't made reservations yet and am looking for the following:

1. Cheap -- nothing over $120 per night, incl taxes.

2. Free transportation to/from both Miami airport and the port of Miami

I don't really mind where I stay as long it is clean and not in a bad part of town.

Answer 1

embassy suites!!!

it was reallly nice and they have shuttles and stuff that take you to the port..n the port is very close

Answer 2

The Sovereign Hotel, it's on Collins dr. in Miami Beach. You won't pay more than $100. It's about 20-25 minutes away from the port, which is like a $15 cab ride.

Have fun!!

Answer 3

We stayed in South Beach. Had a great time.

Answer 4

I would suggest looking up the Port of Miami to find hotels in the area.  Usually you can find one that is right across the street which cuts out the cost of taking a cab or public transportation to the port.  Or you might be able to find one that offers a free shuttle to the port.  However, you can't usually go wrong with the smaller hotels like Holiday Inn, Comfort Inn, Days Inn, etc.  If I were you, I'd check some of the more popular websites for hotels like:   www.hotels.com

Good Luck and Have fun!

Answer 5

Holiday Inn - Coral Gables.  It had a free shuttle to and from the Port of Miami and Miami International Airport.
