It is a very nice hotel, with friendly staffs, prompt cleaning services and good location near the metro station. I had a good and comfortable stay there.

Positives: Quiet place; friendly staffs; and prompt cleaning services.

Negatives: The room is too cold, odors came out from both the fan and heater.

I needed to book a hotel pretty quickly due to a big life event; unfortunately time was working against me here so my hotel choices were pretty limited. That said I was initially very pleased that I got a Holiday Inn; we've had good experiences at them in the past and Priceline claimed this was a 3-star hotel. I checked out the hotel's website and was pleased with the photos... it looked like a great deal.

Positives: Good showerhead. Hot water. Comfortable bed.

Negatives: Old rooms, low quality, rude staff.

I would never stay at this hotel again. Room was damp, with mold on the walls. Sheets felt wet. Horrible smell. I was told the other rooms were booked, and someone would call to let me know if one opened up. Nobody called. At the end of the stay I was offered only a free breakfast. I refused. If their kitchen is anything like their rooms, then the food is a health hazard.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Most disgusting room I have ever stayed in.

The hotel is conveniently located, however, the room smelled musty when we entered. The beds were comfortable but the hallways were trashy, smelled and needed desperate cleaning. Not much of a view in the hotel but staff was extremely friendly and compensated us (free buffet breakfast) when the elevator didn't work and my husband had to walk down the stairs to get it to open on another floor to come to the second to get our luggage and me (I use a cane).A little disappointed at overall condition of place.

Positives: The location was excellent.

Negatives: Run down feeling when you stepped in elevator and room.


Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 17 Jul 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff was very helpful and the beds were very comfy.

Positives: The hotel was conveniently located to the places we needed to visit around Miami.

The hotel was decent for the price. The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. The resturant was under staffed.

Positives: The price was right .

Negatives: The elevator shook and squealed which freaked me out


Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 20 Mar 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

Hotel room clean, recently remodeled and bed good. Bathroom was very small. No screen on patio door and with Niles virus in that area makes it a health hazard. Parking lot difficult to go in/out as restricted access. Security guard okay for parking area.

Positives: Bed &amp; Pillows.

Negatives: Old TV; no screen on patio door.

The bathroom was okay, but had some cracks and dirt on floor. The rest of the room was very nice, excellent in fact.

Positives: Pleased with room. Was very happy it had free internet. I have a business that I was able to continue while traveling via my computer.

Negatives: Would like more info on attractions. All the brochures were for other cities, not Miami.


Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 06 Mar 2008 rated 3 out of 10.

The general area of the hotel is quite nice and updated, particularly the bar area. However, we were placed in a room that was handicap accessible, with holes in the wall were equipment had been moved. The carpet was wet and stained in the room and the shower flooded the floor in the bathroom. The TV was very small and older and the AC/heating until gave off a terrible smell when we turned it on.

Positives: Lobby area and hotel bar seemed very nice.

Negatives: Room was in poor condition and floor was damp in spots, needs updating badly.

Good location, decent food, nice staff. Very limited TV channel selection and you can only make coffee one cup at a time. It met our needs for a one night stay.

Positives: Chicken Tender Salad in restaurant is excellent.

Negatives: Hard bed with loud A/C. I did not sleep well.

We really enjoyed our stay. We had children with us and the pool was fun as well as the park across the street. We were really close to several golf courses and not a far drive from the beach. The front desk was very knowledgeable and was able to give us directions to everything we asked. We will definitely stay again if we have another occasion to be in coral gables (which by the way is the most gorgeous city).

Positives: The location was wonderful! So convenient to everything!

Negatives: The elevator was broken and housekeeping was okay, but not great.

The hotel was okay, we were under the impression that since it was close to the university, it would be near other attractions or places to go, things to do. It wasn't.

Positives: They had a lot of cable channels to choose from.

Negatives: It wasn't near anything.

We don't have much to say about it other than it being very average. This time we didn't save anything! Very upsetting!

Positives: They let us have a late check out.

Negatives: As soon as we walked in the security guard was rude telling us not to use his valet cart for our luggage.
