The front desk person was nice enough and from the oudside the hotel looked ok. The main problem was the smell of smoke. It was really overpowering in the hallways and the room itself smelled of smoke. The bedspread needed changing and the room was not spotless but nothing too bad. The hotel was ok for just one night but if we had to stay here on holiday I think we would probably have found somewhere else. The shuttle to the airport was fine.
I loved the hotel itself but everything else turned me off to it. The front desk women was rude and really didn't want to help at all. The cleaning people were apparently having a meeting in the middle of the hall we when I was clealy struggling to carry all my bags past them. They all just looked and continued talking. The room itself wasn't bad. It was cool having a fitness center in the hotel as well. The pool and pool area was nice but it was right near a busy highway so there was constantly traffic buzzing along at all times of the day. The neighborhood was kind of sketchy as well. And you should probably learn spanish before you come visit. Only some of the staff at the nearby Taco Bell spoke English.

This place is ridiculous. The front desk person habitually lies. We waited(AND ARE STILL WAITING) at the Miami Airport for over an for the shuttle, He JUST arrived 1 HR 43 min after the first call. The shuttle to the Port of Miami really doesn't leave until noon, but they want you out AT 11 so they tell you to be in the lobby by 10:45 leaving you to wait in the parking lot/LOBBY for over an hour. NO SUCH THING AS CONTINENTAL breakfast you must pay $5.00 JUST FOR EGGS, toat and coffee. NEVER AGAIN! THE COUPLE RIDING with us agreesTHEY WAITED 1HR AND 15 MIN. The comforter had been burned with an iron and they had it on the bed like it was good to use-not good. KATINA-MICHIGAN

I say this because the first floor smells like a cigarette break room. Luckily I asked for a non-smoking room on the second floor, but you can only do so much to get the smoke out. I could still smell a little of the smoke in the bed covers, which I'm assuming they use in all of the rooms. (The quarter-sized burn hole I found in my covers gave it away.) The rest of the room was fine, kind of old, neither good nor bad, a little ugly, but I was really just there to get a quick start to the airport the next morning. Which I did - in their free, smoke-stinking shuttle.

We stayed at this hotel because it was close to the airport with a free shuttle. We stayed here for 2 nights after our cruise docked. The hotel was dark, old decor, and a little dirty. The room however was much nicer and better maintained than other common areas of hotel. The pool was large and seemed nice although we did not go in. Hotel is located next to airport with GREAT shopping and eating within 10 minute drive. The Shuttle was Great to the airport. Overall not a great place for the family but ok if you only want a quick place to sleep while catching a ship or plane.

Unless you are desperate to save a dollar, do not stay here! We stayed the night before a cruise. They had a courtesy shuttle to the port, but the driver charged us a $2 per person "luggage handling fee". The place is run down. They advertise a fitness room, but 3 out of the 5 machines were broken and it was filthy! Also, there is NOTHING around there. Although I have to say; the shuttle picked us up promptly at the airport, and the front desk people were very nice to us. But it really kind of grossed me out!

We had stayed at t his hotel last year before our cruise. Granted it is not a "nice" hotel but it served the purpose for an overnight and the free shuttle to the pier was great. This time the shuttle casts 6.00per person and then they charge $2.00 per person for the luggage once in the van. The room was okay, but the first room we were given reaked of smoke and dirt. we were moved to the 4th floor and that roomwas better. Didn't take a shower the next morning, the tub was a little shaky. Won't stay there again.

The only good thing about this hotel was the free shuttle to the cruise. Also, be aware that there are several Days Inn airport buses. We got on the wrong bus with another couple and then called our hotel and they sent the right bus to transport us. The hotel was filthy. The hallways looked like they had never been cleaned. The non-smoking room smelled like a smoking room. We were afraid to walk barefoot on the carpet. We will not stay there again.

Stayed here one night to catch a curise ship. The room was comfortable & clean. The hotel had free transport to the pier. The only complaint was that we waited 45 min. at the airport for the shuttle (the drive between hotel & airport was 10 min.)
