Good hotel for staging for your cruise! Right across the street is a Bubba Gump's, numerous shops and other places to eat. The waterfront area had a live band playing on Friday night. Easy area to walk around if you like to explore.

We stayed here the night before our cruise and the location was great. The oudoor mall across the street, I think it was called Bayside, was literally a 5 minute walk with outdoor restaurants and plenty of shops. The price was reasonable and the cab ride to the cruise port was less than 10 dollars because we stayed so close. The room was clean, the view was nice, and the overall experience was great. One complaint---breakfast was WAY too pricey for the tiny buffet that they laid out!

After i came back from central america i needed 3 days of rest in miami,i pick this hotel because of the rates,the only room they had was for handicape people, it had two beds it was also very big for just a room it locaded next to the bayside mall if you need a good meal it is a very nice place to be,the beds in my room are very nice and clean i had no problem sleeping,the shower was not EZ you have to put you hand on the shower to make sure that the water hit you,the lobby and resturant are very nice looking no problems with the front deck, over all for 3 days not bad at all.

The hotel is exactly what you'd expect for a Holiday Inn - adequate facilities, clean presentation, comfortable bed and convenient location. We were here over New Year's Eve, and the hotel was in an ideal location to the fantastic concerts that were taking place in the Bayfront Park - right across the road! The concierge was very helpful in arranging a bus and boat tour of Miami. We had a perfectly comfortable room with a magnificent view over the Port of Miami. It's nothing flashy, but perfectly adequate. Having said that, it's probably a bit overpriced.
