Miami Marriott Evacuated After Crane Accident

The Marriott Biscayne Bay in downtown has been evacuated after a crane accident injured a construction worker yesterday.

The AP reports:

Miami Fire Rescue spokesman Ignatius Carroll says the arm extending from the crane became loose, but did not collapse or fall. A worker who was midway up the 212-foot crane was hospitalized with a broken arm. It was not clear how the worker was hurt.

The hotel was evacuated as a precaution. The Marriott is a tall high-rise building and is connected to the to Omni Mall by skywalk. Recent reviews called the hotel dated causing us to think maybe the construction work was for hotel renovations. Yet the Miami Fire rescue says the construction work was possible being done on a pier.

Super Bowl Hotel Rooms for $90 a Night

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 226 NE 1st Avenue [map], Miami, FL, United States, 33132

Know somewhere with open hotel rooms for Super Bowl weekend in Miami? Tip us off.

We got a tip yesterday after we posted our early report on the Super Bowl hotel rooms in Miami about an extremely affordable hotel offering rooms for $90 a night.

The Miami Sun Hotel located on NE 1st Avenue is near the American Airlines arena which isn't South Beach but it's close. The web site has hardly any pictures of the hotel or the rooms so we're not sure what this place is really like.

We also couldn't find any reviews or listing of this place on TripAdvisor but we did see some reviews on Travelpost:

The hotel was in the middle of downtown Miami and it was close to the buildings that I needed to do business in. America Airlines Arena was only 2 blocks away, so I caught a Heat game while I was there without having to fight traffic. The place isn't the Hyatt, but it was clean and at 50 bucks a night, I really can't complain. Overall, not bad.

Another reviewer said that the place was good if you needed to be near the arena and didn't need to stay a long time. On Yahoo the reviews were a little more mixed ranging from "good friendly staff" to "filthy".

Should you be desperate for a hotel room in Miami under $100 for Super Bowl weekend, you can take a chance on this place by calling 305-375-0786  for reservations.
