Stayed 5 nights at the Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay. I come to Miami quite a bit for work, and usually stay at the Miami Airport Marriott as pricing fits the budget. Sometimes I can find a hotel in South Beach for the right price, but not usually this time of year. I have also searched this hotel in the past, but it’s usually out of my work budget price.

I was able to find a great member, special rate for a King, Biscayne Bay view room, 5,000 extra points per night, free self parking and 2 welcome drinks at the bar. The hotel does have a $30/day resort fee - there are various things to do with it, or just apply it as a nightly $30 Food and Beverage credit from the bar or restaurant.

Check in with the FDA went fantastic. There were a few people checking in, but the line moved quick. I chatted it up a bit with the FDA, letting her know it was my 1st time here vs my usual stays at the airport. I asked if any of the Jr. suites with the amazing Biscayne Bay views were available - she had already slotted me into a King Bayview room on the 28th floor. She asked me to hold on, went in the back to speak to someone, and came out with a smile. Do I want the good or bad news? Well with that smile, there can’t be any bad news 😃 She was able to move me to a Jr. suite on the 16th floor. The bad news? It’s 2 Queens instead of 1 King. Not a problem at all!!

The room is fantastic! The hotel is newly remodeled, and its so nice with everything fresh and new. The room has 2 thermostats and they are tied together to adjust the temp all the way down to 64 degrees in unison.

The M club here is open 24 hours, offers breakfast, all day snacks/drinks/coffee, along with evening bites and dessert. I will say the club here, quality of food and overall experience is noticeable above what is offered at the Airport Marriott.

Then pool is closed for refurbishment, guests can use the pool at the DoubleTree Hotel that shares the building. Outside the hotel M club there is a “party deck” that has chairs, tables, foosball, ping pong and outdoor billiards.

So far this place is hitting it out of the park for a work stay.
