Travel tips
The airport shuttle reportedly runs hourly, and a guest could not get a 7:30am departure because only on-the-hour slots were offered, so arrange the time with reception early. One reviewer also reported a long wait for airport pickup, so allow extra buffer before flights. Most Miami attractions, such as Wynwood Walls, Vizcaya and the downtown museums, are 13-16 km away, so plan on a car or ride-hailing; free parking is available on site.
