The one thing that this hotel has going for it is location, location, location. 49th Street is a shopper's paradise. One can walk to the mall, and several department stores that are on this street.
The front desk staff were quite helpful, although it took a long while to check us in. The hotel was quite busy while we were there, a junior sporting team was there, so it was a bit noisy in the common areas. An airport shuttle is available and is very swift and prompt from the long distance from Hialeah to the airport.

We reserved two rooms prior to our Carribean Cruise last November 02-04. I called the day before to arrange for the complimentary shuttle and spoke to Valerie who was the Front Desk Manager. She was very helpful and gave us instructions on how and where to meet their airport shuttle. Roli the shuttle driver who picked us up was very pleasant and very knowledgeable about the Miami area since we are 'out of towners'. Even the restaurant server was pleasant and offered to give us an appetizer as we came a little early before opening time and had to wait a few minutes. It was Happy Hour and we had two for one delicious drinks! The Chicken Wings and Nachos were pretty good too! That said, it was a good start for a great Carribean cruise vacation! By the way, the shuttle to Port of Miami was also complimentary. Thank you Valerie for all the arrangements and to the rest of the Staff!

Hotel was good value and all staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms basic but clean. Good breakfast choices that were great value. No pick up from airport available despite emailing hotel in advance. In fact NO reponse to email that left us with a 30$ taxi bill.
Free transport to cruise terminal though
Hotel is opposite good shopping mall with plenty of eating options
