Hampton Inn – Blue Lagoon, Miami Pre-Cruise stay
We stayed at the Hampton Inn Blue Lagoon location in Miami on a Friday night before our cruise. It was a perfect choice for a pre-cruise stay. The hotel was great. Quiet area, clean rooms, comfortable beds, free breakfast, and staff was very friendly and accommodating. Even better was the great location. Within walking distance to places to eat, a Walgreens, a CVS, nail salon (for those last minute pre-cruise mani/pedi’s) and a Publix grocery store directly across the street. This was perfect for any last minute items you need to bring on the cruise ship, like sunscreen, any toiletries that you didn’t want to fly with and the bottle of wine that you are allowed to take onboard the ship.
We requested an early check in because our flight arrived early, at 9:00am. By the way they also have a free airport shuttle service. When we arrived they did not have any rooms available for early check-in, but they stored our luggage so we could go walk around, go to the grocery store, etc… They also told us that breakfast was still being served and to help ourselves to the breakfast buffet. So we grabbed some breakfast and walked around for a while. Within about an hour we received a call that our room was ready.
This is a perfect choice for a pre-cruise hotel stay. It isn’t they fanciest, but it is clean, comfortable, great location, friendly staff, pool, free hot breakfast and the make your own waffles, free airport shuttle, and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this hotel for a pre-cruise stay.
