Use the Miami River as a useful distinction
Downtown and Brickell are neighboring mainland areas with different access roads. Brickell Key is an island reached from Brickell. Do not substitute one hotel entrance for another just because the map distance is short.
Resolve similar hotel names
JW Marriott Marquis Miami is Downtown; JW Marriott Miami is in Brickell. Four Seasons Hotel Miami is in Brickell, while The Surf Club is in Surfside. Send the name exactly as it appears on the voucher.
Plan around the last mile
One-way streets, bridge movements, construction and valet queues affect access. Add a buffer for meetings or restaurant reservations instead of treating our road range as a promised arrival time.
Keep cruise transfers separate
A Downtown hotel is not a cruise terminal. List airport-to-hotel, hotel-to-port and port-to-airport as separate journeys, each with its own time, address and luggage count.
