Convenient airport hotel. My only complaint would be that there is no list for the airport shuttle, so there is a mass rush to a bus that only holds 13 passengers. It's not even first come first serve, more like who can rush to be seen by the driver first. Some other passengers and I ended up taking an Uber. But, I would still stay there… Read more

This hotel ruined my trip to Miami!! They do everything they can to steal as much money as possible from you. Hidden fees don’t begin to describe the level of extortion that takes place at this location. Be prepared to pay 250+ in cleaning fees and double pay for parking everyday. By the end of my stay it costed over double what it was originally… Read more
This hotel ruined my trip to Miami!! They do everything they can to steal as much money as possible from you. Hidden fees don’t begin to describe the level of extortion that takes place at this location. Be prepared to pay 250+ in cleaning fees and double pay for parking everyday. By the end of my stay it costed over double what it was originally indicated. The staff is rude and unwilling to assist their guest to resolve any concerns. They just send you to other departments that ignore you. Once they have your credit card on file it’s game over. They will run up as many charges as possible until you call your bank and have them put a stop to the theft. STAY AWAY!!! Read less

We arrived and there was no help to get the suitcases to our room, car or staff. Check in was ok, he didn’t seem to care or thank me for being Hilton honors but it was ok, no water was offered except at check out when I sarcastically asked if that wasn’t a thing anymore. I guess they didn’t have it according to the check out guy… I read the prior… Read more

Check in was ok, he didn’t seem to care or thank me for being Hilton honors but it was ok, no water was offered except at check out when I sarcastically asked if that wasn’t a thing anymore. I guess they didn’t have it according to the check out guy… I read the prior reviews and I was ready for the outdated room though still very disappointing. We had a suite and it was spacious although it was hard to sleep in the sofa bed, balcony didn’t have a screen and the mini refrigerator had seen better days. Pictures are better than words. I had my dogs with me and I liked the walking path around the hotel that’s why we stayed there. Staff were nice and food was acceptable. The hotel is busy and I think it’s the reason Hilton does not care about the hotel conditions. I don’t think I would stay here again but it’s about priorities. Read less

Areas of the hotel are dated, and the hotel gets a ton of wear-and-tear due to suitcases everywhere. This is a very popular hotel to stay at either before or after you cruise. There are many "eyesores", like the sign above the pool bar which welcomes you to the pool area is broken/missing, and all kinds of other things that need routine… Read more

There are many "eyesores", like the sign above the pool bar which welcomes you to the pool area is broken/missing, and all kinds of other things that need routine maintenance. The staff and the food/beverage were really good however, and the rooms seemed clean enough. I wouldn't necessarily choose to stay here again, but if I had to, it would be fine for a night or two. If you are looking to stay longer, choose somewhere else. It's very close to the airport and it's fun to see the planes come and go. Read less

I would like to rate this hotel higher as the location is great, we had excellent servers for both dinner and breakfast with good food at each, and the king suite was huge with a lovely panoramic view. But as many other reviewers have noted; the facility needs better care, a serious update and structural renovations. The carpets in the hallways are stained, the bedroom and bathroom need repainting with new calking in the bathroom and the ambience is just too stark for vibrant Miami. The problem with my suggestions is that to implement them would entail significant revenue loss during renovations and would probably result in higher prices afterwards. Still, it would be a treat to deboard a plane and enter a fresh hotel with a suite that feels and looks squeaky clean, esthetically pleasing and up to date. Read less
