This Clarion was clean and the rooms were modern. But they were very, very small. Our room (which they said was the only one available when we arrived) was on the first floor right near the breakfast so it was a bit loud in the hallways. We found the room's layout awkward. The only sink was directly in the path of the door. If you were washing up and some one opened the door, you got smacked with the door. This also made washing up a bit less of a private experience. We were traveling with quite a bit of luggage and room could barely hold us and the luggage. The pool was nice and it was heated. They have a nice selection of sodas and small snacks that you can buy at the front desk. The breakfast was ok but very crowded and we could barely find a place to sit. Our second morning at this hotel we went out to eat instead of fighting the crowd at the breakfast. All in all, the hotel was ok. It was clean and modern but based on the price, I doubt that I would stay here again.

I needed a place to stay for an extra night before a cruise so was really only looking for something clean with a comfortable bed and a cheap rate. I made a great choice when I booked this hotel.

Because it's a smaller hotel, there aren't buses/cars constantly cruising the arrival area of the airport and you actually have to call the hotel upon arrival to get the complimentary shuttle. Seems like a fine system to me - I was picked up from the airport within 15 minutes of calling for a ride. When I arrived at the hotel there was a very friendly staff waiting to check me in. My room was large, bright and very clean. The view was of a somewhat busy stretch of road, but did also have some beautiful trees - which was the only thing I could see while lying in bed.

The one negative thing I have to say about the hotel is about the 'fitness equipment'. It actually consists of a treadmill, an elliptical machine and a reclining stationary bike in a tiny room. Not really much of a fitness area but it was well air-conditioned with water and towels available.

The complimentary breakfast the next morning was delicious and generous - everything from toast to pancakes to eggs.

I stayed at the Miami Airport Hilton the next night and though the Hilton is swankier, I liked my room and the service at the Las Palmas much more. And, the Hilton was almost double the price.

Overall, it was a great experience. Convenient location (less than 10 minute cab ride to the Dolphin Mall for all the outlet-shoppers and less than 15 minutes from the airport), fabulous service and a free breakfast. If I'm back in Miami, I'll stay here again!

We stayed at this hotel for one night before our cruise and paid £62.00 for the room and a continental breakfast included. The rooms were clean and the reception staff were very helpful. There is no restaurant on site but if you do have a car there are plenty just round the corner.

My co-workers and I stayed at the Clarion hotel in Dec of 2007. It was an awful expereince. We arrived to the hotel late b/c our flight was delayed. The manager was very rude. Apparently the hotel was booked and they had to move us around. He was upset we came in late and very frustrated that he had to move the rooms around. We all requested non-smoking rooms and the rooms smelled heavily of cigarette smoke. One of my co-workers even had 5 full ashtrays in his room. Two of my co-workers had issues with their beds- sheets had not been changed and there were wrinkles in the bed like someone had been sleeping there. It was so bad that we moved to a hotel in Ft Lauderdale that was a lot further away.
