We chose this hotel based on other reviews. It is the only hotel we found that provides shuttle to and from the airport & to the cruise ports. You find your own way back from the port. It is a clean place with friendly staff. Over all a good experience. However it is not located near any of the main attractions, so plan on renting a car or paying the high taxi fares if you are staying a couple of days before or after the cruise and want to go somewhere other than the airport or cruise ports. The Embassy Suites next door has e-z rent a car and across the street is an Enterprise rent a car. I would advise reserving one ahead of time, we found out the hard way that they run out of cars quickly.

1 - the hotel is in direct flight path of outbound jets from the airport...so if noise bothers you, it is a factor to consider. 2 - it may have been a busy weekend, but the continental breakfast I experienced was not much more than toast, bagels and orange "drink" - all of which were constantly running out. 3 - the "non-smoking" rooms didn't smell like it...some kind of room freshener was used, leaving a strange, musty smell to everything. TV reception was hit-and-miss as well - I don't understand fuzzy reception with cable...? Other than that, maid and desk staff were courteous and helpful. And the pool looked clean and well-maintained, although I didn't have the opportunity to use it.

We stayed here on our way to a cruise and loved it. Very nice room good shower, clean and friendly staff. Nice enough breakfast to get you going. When we got there the outside of the hotel seemed like it was the runway and we worried about the noise but never heard a thing from our room so don;t worry about the closeness to the airport. Free shuttle to the port a huge reason to stay there. Very organized shuttle service! Will definetly do it again if we cruise from Miami. If driving a tad difficult to get to due to one way street but worth the effort. By leaving our car there while we cruised the room payed for itself. Nice beds and great room will stay again.

Hotel was very nice. We stated twice...two weeks apart. We took someone to the Airport and had to go back to pick them up. Free shuttle to the airport was a huge help and ran often enough so as not to be late. Rooms were very clean and the beds very comfortable. Pool was nice as well. The free breakfast in the morning was wonderful. Make your own waffles, bagels, muffins, cereal, fruit, juice, milk, coffee and toast with toppings. All fresh and tasty and enough to fill everyone up and hold them till lunch. For being right next to the airport it was remarkably quiet and the planes could be heard but not to where we couldn't talk, watch tv or sleep. The only problem we had was in the communication with the front desk people. They spoke very little English and I speak no Spanish. So getting them to understand what we needed and wanted was difficult. I feel if you work in this country, learn the language!! They should require the help to learn to speak fluent English. That was the only problem we had. I would recommend this hotel. But it will help if you brush up on your Spanish. In fact that will go a long way in helping you all around town as in many stores the clerks speak no English. I found that problem in a Walgreens and a Bells. So brush up on the Spanish...but still would stay again.

This hotel was clean and comfortable and offered a great breakfast AND free shuttle service to the port for our family cruise. We had all of our married kids and our 8 grandchildren for a total of 16 and easily fit in the 20 passenger bus from the airport and again to the cruise ship. We reserved the shuttle through the manager ahead of time and it was right on time. Others have complained about smoky rooms but we did not find that. We had 4 rooms and all were fine. The manager, *, was very helpful. The price was fair and we were completely satisfied.
