Went to Miami on a business trip with my company. Was a quick turnaround - arrived on a Tues and departed on a Weds.

This Holiday Inn wasn't too bad. I was disappointed by accomodations from a Non Smoking room standpoint. I booked a non smoking room which I received. But the people in the adjoining room decided to smoke anyway. Because I was in an adjoining room, the smoke entered my room. I called the front desk and spoke with Angela. She said the best she could do was call them and tell them to stop. Don't think she did because the smoke took a while to stop. Angela would not change my room.

The breakfast the next morning was just so so. My collegues staying at the nearby Hyatt had a MUCH better breakfast. Next time, I will probably stay there. I know the rooms there are better anyway.

Overall, staying at this Holiday Inn wasn't too bad. The rooms are well kept. I was disappointed by the lack of complimentary shampoos. Perhaps an oversight but still and oversight non the less.

If I were to visit this area, this hotel would not be my last resort choice, but certainly not my first.

Stayed 1 night in a 2 double bed room. Quiet location, though planes flying by but that was not too bothering.
Bed comfy, not too soft, choice of soft / firm pillow is nice.
Bathroom big enough, clean.
Breakfast is not the "plastic" kind that you get at the Holiday Inn Express, much appreciated eating in a proper plate.
Nice staff. Good wifi.
Not much to do around the hotel but fairly easy to get to.

This is the second time that I ended up staying at a Holiday Inn that I found through the express search on Priceline. In each instance the rooms were clean modern and reasonably price. The service was excellent. A great value. I will continue to use the express option on Priceline

Just now checked out of this hotel, about 45 minutes ago. It's 10:57 pm.. December 6th 2012. Upon check in, the front desk clerk was friendly, helpful. In route to our rooms, I noticed a loud, nasty odor in the hallway. Entering room.. The nasty carpet moldy odor followed. The room was stuffy, stinky and dirty. This hotel is NO 3 star, probably 1.5. House keeping came and wanted to douse the room with air freshener... Like really. I checked the hell out.. Currently at intercontinental at Doral... Clean n fresh so far. I'm done with holiday inns.
