We stayed at the Holiday Inn Port of Miami one night prior to our cruise a couple weeks ago. I had seen mixed reviews, but many recommended it as a good place to stay prior to a cruise due to its proximity both to Bayside Marketplace and the Port of Miami. We were pleasantly surprised with the hotel. They upgraded... more

This hotel is across the street from the Port of Miami....so they are packed full every night. They are the closest hotel to the port. The hotel is an older one but kept up. The staff we did not find that accomidating. They are professional....but definatly not smiling and friendly. You don't get the feeling that they are glad you... more

If you need speed in your elevator, don't stay here. But if you want a super-comfortable bed, a very friendly staff, great location, and an overall tidy hotel, then this place will work for you. I'm just joking about the elevator. It works just fine. It just reminds me of the elevators in the old public buildings. I loved the... more

We came into Miami a day before our cruise out of Port of Miami and had seen Holiday Inn last time while we visited Bayside Marketplace. We thought "perfect location" for our next cruise. The location IS great, but the Holiday Inn charged WAY too much for rooms WAY too tired and dilapidated. While our "suite" did have 2 rooms,... more

Just returned from a 2 night pre-cruise stay. This hotel just can't be beat for convenience! We walked across the street to Bayside, took boat tour of the Hollywood Homes, listened to live music, shopped and had great meals. Macy's and Walgreens is a couple of blocks away. Took cab to South Beach for one evening ($20). $10 cab ride... more

Stayed here for the first time before my cruise on the Carnival Valor. Upon check in I requested a room that overlooked the port and they had one available. The room was nice, clean and roomy. The area was somewhat noisy so if you are bothered by traffic noise, request a room on a higher floor. The hotel is across... more

We are a family of five who stayed here on our last night in Miami. I chose this hotel as it could accomodate our family in one room instead of having to have to book two, which I have had to do on a number of occasions on this trip. We arrived at the hotel around 8pm and were given... more

We were looking for a hotel near the Miami Port, close to the Cruise ships and the Holiday Inn was the perfect choice. As a Priority Club member our room was upgraded. It was perfect and the hotel is across the street from the Bayside Marketplace that has many restaurants and is nice to walk around. The hotel is 5... more

We took a ladies cruise from Miami. This hotel was perfect pre and post cruise stay! for those of you used to living in a mansion with butlers and maids, this hotel is not for you! But, for us regular folk who clean on own house and work each day, it'll do just fine. Food and bars right across the... more
