“Okay for One Night”

Courtyard Miami Airport West/Doral

2 of 5 stars
New Jersey
Jan 8, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

The hotel itself is like any other Courtyard; basically good and comfortable. With that having been said, I really don't think I'd stay here again.

We booked for the night before a cruise and decided to rent a car to make dinner, breakfast (which is not included) and lunch easier as well as to prevent having to be bound by the shuttle schedule to the cruise port - the shuttle is not free, by the way, although it is available as part of a special package and winds up costing about $20 per room.

It took us a solid 30 minutes to find the hotel, and that is with printed directions. Even when we got into the parking lot, we could not tell if we were at the proper hotel since there is another Marriott sharing the grounds and the Courtyard has no external signs whatsoever, save for the mat in front of the door. My daughter actually had to get out of the car and walk to the entrance to verify that we were at the Courtyard. The sign facing the road is miniscule and back from the street so it is very hard to spot at night.

As another review noted, there is a 24/7 guard in the lot. Well, when I watched the morning news, I found that there had been a police action with a person shot virtually outside the hotel during the night...and they told me I could walk to nearby restaurants!

To be fair, the neighborhood's problems can't be blamed on the hotel, but I cannot see myself staying in this area again.

“Friendly & Accommodating Hotel”

Courtyard Miami Airport West/Doral

5 of 5 stars
St. Louis, Missouri
Jan 2, 2008

Short and quick: Above and beyond courteous staff, clean, and comfortable. Free airport shuttle. Recommended.

This was an unexpected "find." My daughter's plane to Miami was delayed and she did not arrive in Miami until 12:30 am, so we had to find a place for her to stay last minute. We called the hotel directly and spoke with the young man at the front desk. He was very helpful. He told us the airport shuttle was making its last run, so he contacted the driver by radio and let him know who he was looking for at the airport and helped us get our daughter to the location of the shuttle pick up. He told us what the shuttle looked like, the name of the driver, and what he was wearing. (I'm sure he picked up on our concern of a young lady traveling by herself, late at night.) Then he booked the reservation. The rate we were given earlier when we called was no longer available, however he gave us the lower rate since that was what we were quoted earlier. When my daughter checked in, we discovered that she was booked into a suite. She said the room was great - clean and comfortable and we should stay there the next time we go to Miami. I wish all hotels were this helpful!

“Good Pre-Cruise Choice”

Courtyard Miami Airport West/Doral

Jul 20, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

My family stayed here for one night before boarding a cruise the next day. The hotel has free shuttle service to the property and one can purchase their "cruise" package which will prepay a shuttle to the pier the next day. It all worked very smoothly. The hotel has several restaurants within walking distance. The rooms were clean and staff was friendly.

“Be on your guard at the Courtyard”

Courtyard Miami Airport West/Doral

3 of 5 stars
Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman
Jun 28, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

I picked the title for my review for 2 reasons. The good reason was that there actually is a guard at the front gate that you have to pass in order to drive in. The bad reason was that the side entrance to the hotel's door was broken and unlocked all night (you are supposed to swipe your card to enter). There were a few sketching people hanging out in the parking lot also but they were probably just guests.

We picked this hotel for a shopping-Miami trip and the location was perfect for that. It is pretty central to the major shopping centres. It is about a 30min drive from Miami Beach so if you're looking for nightlife this is not the place to stay.

Our room was clean but it was right next to a generator which was a bit noisy.

The best part of our stay was the breakfast in the morning. It was a great selection and the staff was very friendly. I will not stay here again though on my next visit because there are many other hotels nearby to try.

“Ok for travellers, not ideal for tourists”

Courtyard Miami Airport West/Doral

3 of 5 stars
Durham, England
Mar 16, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

The setting is convenient for the airport and there is a regular shuttle service. On the downside its miles from anywhere so you definately need a car.
The staff are friendly enough and the public areas are good.
The rooms are big, clean and the beds are fantastic, free internet access too.
The 'restaurant' only opens for breakfast and theres no bar so evening meals will be walking or driving - or you can get something from the 'Market' which is a small fridge next to reception with a couple of sandwiches in it.
Would I stay again? As a tourist no, as a one nighter before going to the airport the next day, yes.
Note this is a 100% no smoking hotel.
