If you’re flying in, Miami International Airport is about 8 miles away, so plan extra buffer time for Downtown traffic at peak hours. The hotel sits in Brickell, a lively Downtown area; requesting a room based on your preferred city vs. river view can help match the stay to your priorities. Some guests note on-property work at times and occasional in-room item pricing concerns, so review room minibar/snack details and ask questions at check-in.
