This was one of the worst large hotels I have stayed at for a business trip in a long time--constant loud noises from highrises going up nearby, perpetual traffic with a major freeway entrance a block away---yes--lots of horns honking, and even a very busy fire station a few blocks away---with no apparent noise insulation in the hotel. To make matters worse, they put me near the elevator and ice machine (constant noise). I am not that picky, and don't normally write reviews like this---but this hotel sucked!---rdh

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights while in Miami for on business. The hotel is located close to Biscaynne Bay, about 2 blocks from the cruise ship area and within walking distance to Bayside (an outdoor mall / shopping area). Good location. My hotel room was spacious and clean, and the complimentary bottled waters and snacks were a nice touch. Breakfast was buffet style (a nice selection of fresh fruit, cereal, bagels, eggs, etc) and service was speedy and friendly. Overall, I'd classify this hotel as great for business travel...definitely met expectations.

My family used this hotel as a launch point for cruise. It has a great location near the port. Downtown Miami is confusing to navigate at first. So finding the hotel was easy. Getting to the hotel was "fun" with Miami's one way streets.

Warning this hotel can be busy with the bus loads of travelers that stay here courtesy of the cruise lines.

The room was definitely very big and clean, we were very happy with what we recieved. We stayed on the top floor and had a great view of the water. It should be noted that dowtown miami is pretty quiet so if you are looking to stay in the middle of things, this is not the place. The staff was great and gave us passes to a popular club in South Beach that is hard to get into. The passes also allowed us to bypass the line; hotel offered passes to a couple of different clubs. Pretty convenient to access the busy parts of the city.
