Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 13 Sep 2010 rated 6 out of 10.

This hotel while in a great location. Is 40 plus years old. The air conditions are loud and the rooms give you the feeling they need a make over. I am 55 I stayed in this hotel when I was 18 I know what it was and what it is. Compared to the hotels in the area it's a two star!

Positives: The location is great.

Negatives: Having stayed in 3-4 star this was a 2 star.

Positives: The food was great.

Negatives: The price of the food.

AC did not work and had to be replaced. Asked for another room they stated none available then I observed someone off the street come in with out reservations and pay cash and was placed in a newly remodeled room. When I ask about this they stated the room we were in is what we get if you don't go through the hotel or if you use a discount provider.

Positives: Close to airport, free airport shuttle.

Negatives: They put us in the oldest room that they had.

Serves the purpose for people looking at staying the night before a cruise, nothing wrong with the rooms and the free shuttle service from the airport and to the port were great!

Positives: Clean, large rooms plus free shuttle service to the port and from the airport.

Negatives: Location, nothing close.

I would definitely not recommend this hotel as a 3 star hotel. If you are looking for a cheap place to stay with no expectations then it's fine for you. The staff was extremely rude and not helpful, the internet usage is $5 for 15 min, and the food was awful. It was clean overall and the swimming pool/area and the exercise room were nice.

Positives: The swimming pool was nice.

Negatives: The staff was rude and unaccommodating, they charge $5 for 15 min of internet usage, horrible buffet.

Very nice hotel, clean, and close to the airport. Easily accessible by highways and contains many perks. Friendly staff available during all hours. The only complaint is that the breakfast choices are not available until after 6:30 am, which is too late for most business engagements.

Positives: The perks in the room such as the bedding were perfect.

Negatives: The breakfast dining/buffet and continental were not open early enough.

I have no hesitation to recommend this hotel, it does have some minor drawbacks but it is very comfortable once checked in.

Positives: The room were very nice.

Negatives: The location was a little difficult to negotiate for returning to the airport if driving.

Convenient to MIA and friendly staff.

Positives: 24 hour airport shuttle and good restaurant.

Negatives: Some areas of the hotel were dirty and under renovation.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 15 Mar 2009 rated 3 out of 10.

The rooms need to be updated, and they need new carpets. The carpet looked like there was gum stuck all over the place. The bathroom was clean but also needs updating. The hallways feel like you are in the 70s. They don't have free breakfast, like most other holiday inns I've been to. Their breakfast is a moderate price, but not tasty.

Positives: Plenty of parking and close to my family's home.

Negatives: Dirty carpet in the room, wallpaper coming off.

I liked a lot the hotel. For business is the best choice if you don't need to stay in Doral area. Its close to main streets and highways. Very comfortable and high speed internet free.

Positives: Room confort.

Negatives: Hotel restaurant, not really good food and expensive.

Convenient to airport and pleasant lobby and rooms, but other spaces seemed in poor repair.

Positives: Convenience to airport.

Negatives: Hallways and other common spaces except lobby were in bad repair.

Upscale and even though I only stayed for the evening and left early the next morning to catch a plane back to Seattle, it was enough to show me that I would come back to it in the future, especially if I were to vacation there.

Positives: Courteous and very helpful and friendly. The airport bus even waited 5 minutes for me since I was a little late to get on.

Negatives: I can't think of anything - it was a good location, quality meals and super staff.

Overall, very pleasant. The weekend was a problem--the nightclub music could be heard in the parking lot and was very loud in our room and went until 3:00 am on Sat. night. There is construction going on and parking was rather difficult, but am sure that would improve with end of construction. The room was very clean and appearance was excellent. Access to major roads was very easy and the staff was very helpful.

Positives: Staff was very friendly and helpful, room was clean.

Negatives: We were on 8th floor and nightclub was on 9th. Noise level was very loud on weekend.

I first stayed in this hotel 28 years ago and at this point it needs a major facelift. Very nice staff and closet to the airport.

Positives: Staff is good.

Negatives: Needs to be rehabbed.

Positives: Convenient location for airport, helpful staff, upgraded rooms.

Negatives: Air conditioning units were noisy and let in road noise.

Dilapidated hotel in dangerous part of town with very little security and fifteen floors with a broken elevator.

Positives: Good beds.

Many small problems. Running toilet, construction early in the morning in the room above me, free morning breakfast was of poor quality. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful.

Positives: Free wireless internet. Free health club.

Negatives: It was dirty/old and in a location where there were no decent nearby restaurants.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 28 Jun 2008 rated 5 out of 10.

Clean, comfortable, good for a traveler that lost luggage (lots of toiletries in the room,) the room was older but still serviceable and pleasant enough - comfy bed.

Positives: Check in staff was excellent - nice view from restaurant.

Negatives: This was part of my vacation - I didn't like the maid knocking on the door at 8am, and jack hammering right above our heads at 9am.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 09 Jun 2008 rated 6 out of 10.

The hotel is still in a renovation process. We got a room that was not yet renovated.

Positives: It was fine for a one night stay.

Negatives: The room.
