“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

We stayed here as a pre-cruise location that was very convenient . They also have a shuttle that picks you up from the airport. A taxi for about $30 gets you to the cruiseport, which is cheaper than the van if you have 4 people going.
The rooms were clean and quite large with a separate living room and bedroom. They provide you with a free breakfast,which by hotel standards is average. The desk and the staff were friendly and helpful.
A five to ten minute walk will lead you to a shopping center with restaurants and fast food eateries. A taxi to south beach about 35 each way is also a possibility if you have time.

“Average Hilton owned property”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

If you are looking for a place to sleep near the convenience of the airport with more square footage than a regular hotel, this is the place. It is a competitor to the Marriott Residence in that dinners are offered in the evening mon the thurs and breakfast is served int the morning gratis. It is a great place for families or people looking for a good value and are not looking for anything fancy. I was a bit disappointed with my room. The couch looked worn and sunken on and the coffee table was the size of a large bench seat. The carpets looked stained as well, but the room was clean and the housekeeping staff seems to be on top of things otherwise. There is enough room in a standard one bedroom to spread out and so again, good for families. The kitchenette is serviceable and stocked with a few essentials as well as a decent sized fridge if you wanted to stay long term. If I had a choice between Homewood and Hampton, I would go with the latter. The front desk was okay but took a long time to answer thre phones when I called from within the hotel or from outside. They were rather busy but I also think they are rather inexperienced. Nice and friendly but could use some hospitality training. The breakfast buffet area can fill up quickly and over the weekend, don't go too late. Cannot find a seat. The breakfast is nothing exciting. Dried eggs and frozen bland potato chunks. I do love the waffle maker though! They do. Nice job stocking it and cleaning up after all the greedy hungry people so kudos to them. I also visited the gym and it was very nice. Treadmills and the one elliptical are new and working. Plenty of towels and hand sanitizer! There is also a 24 hour business center and a shuttle that will take you to a few nearby restaurants like McDonalds Burger King and the 94th. They have to be in about a mile radius of the hotel. Shuttle to and from the airport is offered so renting a car for an overnight is not necessary. All in all, a good value for your money. It is conveniently located to the airport and planes do take off early in the morning and can be heard, but it is a decent property.

Very clean and friendly staff made this one of our best ever hotel stays. The meals were good and the food area was very clean. Every staff member smiled and helped open doors and pushed buttons. Thanks to all the staff for a great trip.

“Lovely hotel - fully recommend it.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

Very nice hotel about 5 minutes from Miami International Airport. Small shopping centre within walking distance with a great Chinese Restaurant. Bus stop outside hotel and bus stops outside shops will take you to Miami Downtown or Dolphin Mall & International Mall - the two giant shopping malls in Miami . Full kitchen facilities in hotel suite, 2 double beds and double sofa bed. Modern rooms, though blankets on beds had holes in them. 2 big flat screen tvs and free wifi.
