Holiday Inn Port Of Miami-Downtown Rating: 3.0 Pearls

Downtown, Miami, Florida

The Standard Room

Cream walls, floral prints, and dark-wood furniture make the rooms look a bit out of date, at least when you compare them to the typical hotel room in Miami. While the guest room are a bit bigger than you might find at some of the older Art Deco hotels in South Beach, the rooms with two double beds might feel cramped for a family. It's fine for a night before catching a cruise, but the rooms are not ideal for a longer vacation.

• Comfortable beds
• Huge windows with a views of downtown and Brickell Key

In the heart of Downtown, the Holiday Inn is only minutes from the Port of Miami and close to the financial district. But the only things within walking distance are a few delis and a Walgreens pharmacy, about three blocks away.

The business center

• Free shuttle to the Port of Miami, just a few minutes away.
• Free Wi-Fi, accessible in most parts of the building, but the download rate fluctuates between decent to painfully slow.
• 24-hour business center
• Small gym
• Nice-looking restaurant -- a huge room with a beautiful palm tree rising out of the center toward the high ceiling -- but pretty standard food
