It was in the middle of renovation, so that part was kind of irritating to deal with, but our room was nice and clean.

Positives: Room was nice.

Negatives: Location - far to walk to places.

The Courtyard Marriott in Downtown Miami is a just what you'd expect from a Courtyard Marriott- meaning, they met all expectations-clean, good amenities and were very friendly. It is a no-frills, but good classic place to stay.

Positives: Good fitness facility and friendly staff.

Negatives: Closet door was broken.

The hotel is nice, clean, and in a good location. I was very disappointed that we could not have 2 beds and were forced to share a king bed. The representative said that there were a group of kids from Brazil in town taking up the double bed rooms.

Positives: Free wireless.

Negatives: Were not able to accommodate us with 2 beds, had to share a king bed.

My experience was ok. I arrived at 6:30pm and the room was still not ready. After waiting, they put me in a room with a king bed, which was very awkward as I was traveling with a friend. I asked why we could not be given a room with double beds and they said that a group of Brazilian kids (who were just checking in beside me) were taking those rooms. So apparently kids get priority over adults. And they had no roll away beds to offer. All these things aside, the room was clean, the facility nice and the $15 a day parking fee was less than the other hotels in the area, although having to pay for parking at your hotel is very strange, I guess that's just Miami for you.

Positives: Clean, modern, good location.

Negatives: Staff looks unhappy and stressed, wireless didn't work in my room.

What a great stay! We were met with smiles and they took care of all our needs without question. We requested a certain type of room and they gave us one better. We were remembered while we were there, spoken to, and offered many things. A great hotel with wonderful staff. We'll be staying there again!

Positives: So accomodating and friendly. Very clean room!

Negatives: The construction around the hotel.

We stayed at the hotel for one night prior to departing for our cruise. The hotel was extremely clean and we liked the fact that it was close to shopping and that it also had a restaurant. Also, the pool and work out facility was very nice. We also liked that the hotel had a shuttle for us to take to the port for a fee of $5 a person (as taking a cab can be costly). Everyone that worked at the hotel was very friendly. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Positives: The staff was extremely friendly, great location.

Negatives: Nothing we didn't like, we were very satisfied.

This hotel was perfect for our one night before cruise stay in Miami. It is close to Bayside for restaurants and shopping, and they provide a very convenient shuttle service to the pier for $5 per person.

Positives: Convenient to both the Miami airport and the Port of Miami.

Negatives: Breakfast buffet seemed overpriced.

The hotel was obviously getting over the effects of Hurricane Wilma. Although booked solid, the hotel staff were friendly & efficient. It was up to Marriott standards. The only real complaint I have is that there was no business center & no public access computer terminal. There was supposedly free Net TV in the room, but when I tried to use it, I got a message that "pay services have been suspended to this room" even though the prior screen had said that the net access was free AND I had left a credit card # for incidentals. I have stayed at Courtyards before, so I know there is supposed to be a free public terminal. Although there was plenty of public space to convert into a business center, the hotel hadn't done that.

Positives: Very good shuttle service to the port of Miami.

Negatives: No free public computer terminals unlike every other courtyard I've been at.

This hotel is beautiful. The rooms are very nice. The location is excellent, downtown Miami, very close to the Port Of Miami.

Positives: The hotel was very nice. It was better than we expected. The front desk staff could brush up on their customer service skills.

Negatives: I did not like having to pay $15.00 a night to park in the hotel parking lot. As a guest in the hotel, I have never had to pay for parking.
