Husband and I stayed here for 4 days in January. We stayed on the 9th floor and had a nice view of the pool area and a distant view of the water. The room was clean and looked newly renovated. Used the shuttle from the airport coming and going. The breakfasts were good with many choices (cereal hot & cold, eggs, sausage, bacon, fresh fruit, etc.) around $15. Had dinner in the restaurant one night. The food was good. I don't travel that much, but my husband does (180+ days a year) and he didn't have any complaints. The only thing I noticed was that the wi-fi was unpredictable. This hotel is one of 3 or 4 Marriott's on this property so there are some other choices for food and a Starbucks in the Marriott Hotel next door. Hotel staff were helpful and friendly. There is a free shuttle that will take you to the Miami Internation Mall. It is provided by the Mall and stops at a bunch of hotels on the way to the Mall.

We were picked up by the free shuttle at the airport and driven the 5-10 minutes to the hotel. We were checked in right away by the pleasant front end staff. The lobby had an interactive information board with all sorts of useful tidbits, there were a handful of CPUs and free internet, as well as nice restaurant named Champions. Our room was really nice and clean. Everything appeared new and modern. We had the brunch at Champions in the morning, which contained an enjoyable array of food items. We then arranged for a shuttle through the front desk to travel to the cruise port. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay. Aside from the hotel, there is a movie theater about a five minute walk from the hotel, as well as several strip malls, one which included Kmart and a grocery store, less than 15 minutes away.

Where do I begin the entire staff from housekeeping to the front desk were A+, the room was clean, quiet and comfy. I only wish I had the courage to tell the breakfast girl I saw every morning how hot she was... Her name is Angelica and she is super sexy, was always smiling and was just a sweetheart! It made it easy to wake up early and get ready to start my day. So anyone looking for a clean, safe, great priced hotel you have won't go wrong booking here. It was also located very close to many food options and shopping including a Wal-Mart super center 15mins away. It was about 30min from the beaches as well.

10 mins by free shuttle bus from Miami airport. The bus runs every 15mins. Slightly odd system of pick up as there is no designated bus stop you have to flag the bus down from the arrivals pick up area. Apart from that it is a smooth service.there is a Residence Inn and Marriott sharing the same Marriott "campus" and same shuttle bus. a Fairfield Inn is next door. The hotel is very nice in the new courtyard style, big rooms all new fittings and shower room.
The breakfast was superb, buffet style with everything you could possibly want from a fry up to a huge range of fresh fruit , served by friendly efficient staff. Very quiet at night despite overlooking the freeway into Miami ( and a golf course).
