• Near airport and freeways.
• Safety, staff interest and helpfulness.

“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. ”

• Sergio at the front desk was friendly and helpful. Cleaner than most fl hotels.
• Security.

“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.”

“Hotel was cleaner than the Howard Johnson¿s hotel and spa a few miles away at a better rate. Needs a few touch-ups, i.e. Tub drain did not hold water that well. But over all it was not too bad.”

• 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.”

• No public computer, shuttle and breakfast starts late, no courtesy phone at airport, no nearby restaurants.

“Only one restaurant nearby - Chinese, two blocks away. Neighborhood looks seedy. No computer for public use. Shuttle doesn't start until 7 am and breakfast at six thirty. First room they gave was smoking. Asked for another and got one with malfunctioning ac. No luggage storage room in lobby for bags had to take all six bags to second floor room. Of time direct with hotel.”

• 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.”

“Desk attendant inefficient. Told me my reservation was for a different day than the date I¿d reserved. Said the hotel was 30 minutes from the airport, when in fact, it was 15 or 20 minutes in rush hour traffic. Not convenient to many restaurants walking. Significant increase in cost to customer by having to use a cab to get to the hotel. Not business-traveler friendly.”

• Shower had good pressure.
• No airport transport, no coffee, no restaurants for breakfast.

“To be designated an airport hotel, the facility should have transportation. Taxi cost me more than the hotel room (if you let me designate the need for transportation, I would have offered more and you would have made more.) No food available early in the day. All that was offered was a room with minimal service.”

• Staff is always friendly and helpful.
• Our late booking did not allow us a 2nd bed in room.

“Arriving at this hotel, one immediately begins to relax in this paradisiacal setting with well-groomed trees and colorful shrubs. Next, one is welcomed by a staff which is always friendly and helpful. (I¿ve stayed at this hotel before). The total cleanliness of the facility inside and out and the amenities included provide a fine measure of comfort.”

• the location is great if you are traveling to all parts of Miami.
• The Beds in my room needed to be replaced, sit on the edge and you are on the floor.

“Great location to get to all parts of Miami. Hotel Parking Lot is shared with about 40 large utility trucks, making parking a little frustrating, but yes there's enough parking. Swimming Pool is fine, sign posted says 9-9pm but is used after hours by many guests without a problem. Hotel Staff is friendly. No room service without additional charge unless you stay 7 days then they'll clean your room once. Beware of snack, soda, and Juice prices at local gas stations especially Citgo just south of Hotel. There's a 24 hour Wal-mart just about 15-20 blocks south on Galloway Rd, great for most of your needs. I stayed 9 days and put up with landscaping service getting crap all over car, yeah they used a blower to clean it off but if your sensitive about your car careful, the 2nd floor walkway was being cleaned with who knows what and was swiped out landing on car, employee then rinsed my car with hose since I witnessed the whole thing.”

• Convenient to my office.
• Dirty, in disrepair. Room above leaked water into my bathroom.

“/First room had a leak from the room above, when the floor was wet you could tell it was dirty as my feet left mud imprints on the floor. The next room the wood from the bathroom door was rotted off and the door was falling apart. The toilet paper holder was broken from the wall. Maybe this should be rated as a 1 star property.”

• There really isn't anything I liked about this hotel.
• Poor customer service.

“We arrived at the hotel during a storm very late at night. I called the hotel prior to our arrival to let them know that we would be arriving very late at night. I was instructed to use the phone next to the office door since the office would be closed after 11pm. We arrived at the hotel during a storm and the phone didn't work. The employee at the hotel put a note on the phone saying, "please go around to the laundry room in the back across from the pool." This is fine except that this employee did not mark the laundry room at all so it was impossible to find it. We walked around the hotel for a half hour before we finally found the laundry room so that we could check in to our room. Since we didn't get to the room until 2am and we had a flight early the next morning, we spent approximately 6 or 7 hours total. In any case, the handling of the phone not working was very poor causing us great frustration as well as another customer who was also trying to check in and subsequently left.”

• The location of the hotel was great close to shopping, dinning and airport.
• I did not like the noise and guest allowed to drink and perform mechanic work on hotel premises.

“I thought the hotel would of been great. When I got to the room it wasn't as clean as I though it should be. I was there for a while and the people in the room next door went outside and started to drink beer and become loud. The were also performing mechanic work in the parking lot outside the room Making it very undesirable. The men were dirty and without shirts. I was there alone with my children and felt very unsafe. The hotel staff witnesses the mechanic work and drinking of beer and told these people nothing. Leaving me to believe that this is not a family friendly hotel. I would no recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a nice, clean, friendly hotel. Just to add I left the hotel that same night without getting my money. ”

• Manager (or whoever was at the counter) was not friendly. He refused to believe me when I told him that the room provided was not cleaned at all.

“Good location. The day we reached there, I requested for a room on the second floor and was told there weren't any available. I was assigned room 104. Opened the room and noticed that the bed was unmade. Room wasn't cleaned at all. Went back to the desk and told the person at the desk that the room wasn't cleaned. He didn't believe me and went there to check it personally! Then, he gives me a key to a new room (room 272). On the second floor! And that was supposedly "not available" five minutes ago!”

• Nothing
• The room was dirty . I assumed since the hotel was in the Miami par area there would be transportation, but I was wrong.

“As I stated above, if a hotel is in a airport area it should have transportation. I did not find out until I called the hotel from the airport. It cost me an extra $50 to stay at this hotel. The room smelled and was dirty, it even appeared that the bed sheets had not been changed from the last visitor. I slept on top of the comforter. I would never recommend this hotel. This was designated a 2 star hotel, I would give it a 0. ”
