Here we go again, this is our second time in the same hotel this week. we stayed one day before the cruise and the day we got off of the ship. We did this for the simple reason that our flight to Miami got in very late at night so flying in on the same day of the cruise was out. when we arrived into port on Sunday we would not have been able to make the our flight out it left at 10:00 am so we booked our flight for the day after we arrived in port. Both days on the beginning and the end our our trip we just hung out at the hotel and went for a walk in the park and took in the sights and sounds of Miami. So nothing really special about these two days in Miami, only a few interesting things. We stayed at the Double Tree Grand Hotel at Biscayne Bay. This hotel shows well on the web in pictures, but in real life leaves much to be desired. The lobby is grand and nice but that's where the niceness stops. The hotel is old and is in need of a total overhaul. I think you can get better accommodations for your money than this hotel. As part of my research of the vicinity I walked around to get a good look at the area and found it to be a little seedy and quite dirty. We didn't feel to safe in some of the area's even in broad day light. And the Burger King a couple of blocks away from the hotel was so dirty we only got soda's and left. Burger King should be ashamed at having a store that looks like this, they seriously need to check on this franchise, I say eat at your own risk there. Back to the double tree hotel. The only saving grace is the swimming pool hot tub area, it is quite nice. But since you can't sleep in the hot tub or pool I suggest that you find some other place to lay your pretty little head.
