Best for
Best for travelers with early flights or late arrivals who want an affordable base near Miami International Airport, thanks to the airport shuttle and the 3.5-mile distance. It also suits cruise passengers, since one guest used the day-use option before and after a cruise. Budget-minded visitors who accept dated finishes will find the most value.
Travel tips
Ask the hotel to confirm the current shuttle schedule, since one guest reported departures every 30 minutes, and confirm whether parking is charged, because one recent reviewer reported $13 per day. Downtown and museum destinations such as Wynwood Walls, the Frost Museum and Pérez Art Museum are roughly 8–10 km away, so plan on a car or ride-hailing. Ask about the day-use option if you have a cruise or a long layover, and check the fee for receiving packages before having anything delivered.
What guests say
Guests often praise friendly, helpful staff, with one reviewer singling out an employee for help with day-use rooms around a cruise. Rooms are frequently described as clean, large and pleasant-smelling, and guests like the convenient, affordable location near shopping and restaurants. The airport shuttle is also mentioned positively. Complaints center on dated bathrooms, TVs without streaming, and general need for repairs, including an unresolved toilet issue reported to the front desk. Other negatives include parking, which one guest called difficult and another reported as $13 per day, a package-receiving fee, a breakfast that did not work for one guest, and shortages of towels and soap for a large group.
