This Hotel is newer, clean, and the staff was great. The only issue was the drive into Miami. It was only 11 miles but traffic on the Dixie Highway sometimes created a 30 minute drive. The Hotel has no parking but they have excellent Valets for $10.00 per day. The area is nice with a Mall and a Grocery Store within 1/2 a block. You can feel safe between this location and Miami Beach.

Only stayed one day due to a Christmas party on this coast. Check in was quick, they upgraded us to a king size suite, which was nice with it's little living room and desk. Beds were great, room very clean. The only thing I wish they would change is the bathroom. Our's was large, but it had a narrow bathtub and hubby is a big football type guy. It was quite funny with him wrestling with the plastic sheet stuck to his body. Marriottt....please, please update your bathrooms to have a large shower stall !!!

We did not have breakfast there, since we had plans elsewhere. Check-out was quick and great. No annoying maids bamming on your door at 7:00 am either. Staff seemed very well trained, and spoke very good English, even the late night staff.

Yes, there is no on site parking. All the web sites for this hotel tell you that. But, it was fairly priced at $10, and the valet service was quick. Miami parking for $10.00 is a steal ! Trust me!

Overall, a great stay. Dadeland mall is right around the corner, Dixe Highway is right around the corner....great location, great hotel !

I stayed here on business and really liked the hotel. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable with many pillows and a down comforter. I also liked how there was a nice sized ledge in the bathtub for all of my toiletries, b/c I was sharing the room with 2 other people and need the extra space. The hotel was only 4 stories which meant you never had to wait very long for the elevator! The lobby of the hotel has like 4 computers with free internet access which is the most I've ever seen available at a hotel. The price was reasonable for a Marriott. The area around the hotel is safe and nice. The Dadeland Mall is within walking distance and it hosts several nice restaurants. I'd be happy to stay here again!

The day I was going to check in I call in the morning to confirm the airport shuttle, I tell the lady who answered that I am landing tonight and need to find out about the shuttle. She tells me it leaves the hotel every hour on the hour so just call after I get my luggage and they will tell me where to meet it.

When I get my luggage about 10:30pm I call and they tell me the last shuttle leaves the airport at 9:30 and I will have to find my own way to the hotel. I get transfered the Courtyard front desk after disputing this and they tell me to take a cab. I say "And you will reimburse the taxi cost, right?" She thought about it and said yes. So they took care of that but still a hassle I did not want.

So I get the hotel and ask "Where can I get some food at this hour?" She says no where really, but say some fast food might be open a 10 min walk away. I hike it the place get some food and come back and see in the lobby some sandwiches, pasta, salads, etc. She failed to mention any of this and let me walk to get my food.

The room was ok, little noisy. Fairly clean and good sized. Free internet. I did expect much more for the price though. The staff did not seem too interested in my needs either. Some days I got a paper, others not. So it was just ok but for the price it was a negative stay.
