• Actual room was ok.
• Horrible customer service. Office did not open on time. Shuttle did not start running on time. Had to end up calling a taxi to get to airport.

“Don't stay here if you have to be on time. Office did not open in morning on time. Shuttle did not start running on time. I ended up having to call a taxi and missed my flight and all connections.”

• Friendly staff, some of them not too knowledgeable about area.
• Isolated location, few restaurants in immediate area.

“Your typical extended stay type of hotel. However, we had to ask for glasses, coffee, etc which should have already been in room at time of check-in.”

• The location is very convenient and there is a really nice neighborhood and park nearby to workout.
• The night deskman was extremely rude and would not give me a non-smoking room until 3am when I couldn't breath because of allergies.

“I checked into this hotel and my stay started off as a nightmare. The night deskman was extremely rude and also would not give me a non-smoking room. There were also other guests at the front complaining of their smoking rooms. The room smelled like the inside of an ashtray, the smoke smell was so strong I went to Walgreen's at night after traveling all day to buy Lysol and a Glade Plug In. After hours, this did not work. I have had to stay in other smoking rooms before, but this one felt like you literally had your nose constantly in an ash tray. Not even opening the window helped. At that time, the night deskman attempted to scold me like a child. I was in disbelief! Either way, he was not accommodating and not friendly at all. I was the one moving my things at 3 am on the other side of the hotel with red eyes and a runny nose. This was the worse customer service I have ever received at a hotel in my life and I'm a frequent business traveler. I would expect more from one of those charge by the hour roach motels. Needless to say, after that night I made it so I never had to go to the desk at night. The women that were at the desk in the morning were extremely nice and helpful in every way possible. Also, the room that I was moved to was very decent and clean with a separate bedroom/living room. The pool was small and very nice, especially in comparison to the hotel next door. There was hardly anyone at the pool, but next door was always full of families. The workout room was warm and closet sized with only 2 machines. I ran at the park down the street instead. very nice neighborhood behind the hotel with lots of runners, golfers, bikers. I would definitely stay here again, but the night manage.”

• It was at a proper location where it was easy to find. Enough parking.
• The hotel could have had some better up keeping.

“I would have to say my hotel experience at this hotel wasn't up to part. First and foremost when we were entering the building to get to our room there was an odor. That odor was the garbage. The garbage can was over flowing with trash. It was hot a humid when we were walking up the stairs. The room was a nice size. But the only down fall was the AC wasn't working properly.”

• Smoking room was sprayed with air freshener by maint. 2 mins b4 arrival.

“Decent Hotel in Miami area near Airport, in comparatively good area. Good for business travel. Hotel charges 4.95 per stay (doesn't matter how long) for internet access. They said property was estimated at 7 years old, effective age looked like about 2, so this is a well maintained property for this hotel system which doesn't always get it right.”

• Affordability.
• Noise, traffic, lack of privacy.

“The great thing was the affordability and savings I got through. The staff was extremely attentive and helpful, and the room was very clean. The neighborhood is also as good as Miami Dade can get; the police station is a half mile down the road, so it's pretty safe. However, I had a room in front of the main highway and it was extremely noisy during the day. I am working on a night shift schedule, and the traffic noise is incomprehensible. The worst part is that it's also underneath the final approach to Miami international airport, one of the busiest airports in the world, with an average of one plane landing every three minutes. So if you can't take noise, I can't recommend this hotel. One other item; the staff will occasionally poke in the room when you're not around; I frequently had the settings changed on my fan when I returned from work, so I know they are inspecting the room, possibly for drugs or illegal activity. If privacy is a concern, you will need to consider that issue.”

• The price was very economical.
• Very few places to eat or shop in the near vicinity.

“This hotel is a great value for extended stay persons who have an automobile. Bus service is poor and there is no place to shop close by. A taxi must be hired. Only one restaurant is close by for breakfast if you don't have a car and that restaurant is a Duncan donuts. After a few days you get tired of donuts for breakfast every day.”

• Unattractive property and location.

“Warning: this hotel is far away from the airport. This is a basic 1 star hotel efficiency. The room was clean enough. But old appliances and cheaply renovated bathroom. The rug furniture seemed like it was from the 80s. I had to walk up one flight of stairs with my heavy luggage. No vending machines. Small pool.”

• The kitchenette was nice even though we did not use it. For a longer stay it would have been perfect to prepare meals and save money.
• The tub was leaking so every time someone showered the bathroom floor would get soaked.

“This is a decent hotel for the price. The problem we had was that we booked 2 rooms, one for 2 adults and the other for 2 adults and 2 children. We were given 2 rooms with a queen bed, but luckily the front desk clerk was nice enough to help us get a room with double beds.”

• Staff was extremely accommodating and friendly.
• Had a bit too much of the air freshener smell.

“I wanted a hotel close to the airport since I was arriving a day before a conference began at another hotel. The conference hotel cost twice the price and came no where near the quality of service. They probably were very similar in terms of amenities (the conference hotel did have a pool), but nothing to double the price. I was extremely pleased with the location, the quality and the price of the homestead Miami airport hotel. Getting from the airport was a bit of a challenge as the shuttle service didn't know the location, and cabs seemed to miss it as well. They seem to have a van, but wasn't sure whether it was for the airport or some other service.”

“I had made this reservation concurrent with another 2 weeks prior. On the first visit my van was broken into in the parking lot because the hotel refuses to have any kind of security despite the fact the police department has asked them to. The staff was unconcerned about that event, and even refused to locate my room for this subsequent reservation where I could keep a visual look out on my vehicle. On the first visit my room was relatively clean, but on this visit the room was filthy. There was food on the walls in the kitchen and the bed linens had not been changed. ”

“There was no security. Our van was broken into while parked under a light close to the hotel and 9,000 of my artwork stolen. A second van was also burglarized there while we were staying. The Miami springs police officer said incidents like this happen frequently there and the hotels on this street have been requested to install cameras and have security but they have not. I had traveled all the way from Colorado for art shows and this is a financial disaster for me.”

• Roomy with kitchenette.
• Dripping faucets, thin walls.

“Even though it's literally across the street from the airport, I only heard 3 jets during my 2-night stay and none after 10pm. Walls are thin so when my neighbor couldn't sleep at 3am, neither could I once he turned on his TV. Kitchen is fully stocked with pots pans dishes and complete with fridge and dishwasher. They give you dishwasher soap but not shampoo, which I thought strange. Since it's an extended stay, you have to request housekeeping which costs extra (including removing garbage), but they are very clear that they don't wash dishes. Very clean and roomy, I had two double beds and a sofa bed. All faucets dripped which bothered me, but I¿m a light sleeper. All in all, good value for the price paid.”

• I liked the kitchen area. Having a fringe was nice. We were able to get some snacks for the evening and keep them fresh.
• The staff at check in was not as flexible.

“We arrived at the hotel an hour or so before the 3pm check in. We were extremely exhausted and wanted to Nap before our 5pm dinner reservations. However this hotel was unable to allow that. They seemed pretty stern on this. It was not a big deal since it was our error in arriving ahead of schedule, but it was a little dishearten when no accommodations could be made. The room was clean and the kitchen area was very useful. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would still recommend the hotel, especially for longer stays.”
