Guys and Gals-

I am lookingg for recommendations for lodging for the Miami Show. Feb 11 thru 14. Trying to find the best compromise of price, safety, and cleanliness.

I normally stay in Ft. Lauderdale for the show, but considering trying to get into Miami.

I would like to be close to the on-water show sites, but that may not be feasible. Thoughts?

I'll check. Thanks!

I'm learning as a look at reviews where NOT to stay. Many hotels discussed here before appear still way off-limits.

cheap, safe, close to bayside (downtown), and in high season. -good luck!

note: sail show is in miami, powerboats mostly miami beach.

miami beach is just across the causeway. maybe 15min.

I've done the show for the last 10 years; it's a work thing... I've just always stayed in Lauderdale. Thoughts about staying closer only come up this year as I am taking a larger crew to work a booth.

You might want to look into using the metro rail and commute from around dadeland shopping mall.

Metrorail is elevated commuter train... not sure how late it runs..
