We also like staying near Bayside Marketplace. Like OP said you have a view of the port and also Bayside Marketplace is an area on the waterfront that has numerous shops and locations to grab a bite that you can just walk to. YVE and Holiday Inn are other hotels in that area.We are sailing out of Miami in December and looking for hotel recommendations for the night before. Interested in pros and cons of places to stay.
Your best bet is to call the hotel, but if they don't offer a shuttle, Uber is your next best option.Question- if we did the holiday inn, what is the transportation option to get to the port? Does the hotel have a shuttle?
