This past weekend I had the most disappointing stay, there were a catalogue of problems from the moment I checked in that compounded to make this a place I cannot recommend. Part of the problem is the huge turnover of guests on a daily basis, mostly related it seems to the cruise industry.
1, Pool linen quality in the bathroom, thought the days of almost se-through towels were over
2. Locked out of bathroom in middle of the night
3. Grab handle in bath came off wall
4. Noisy housekeeping and maintenance staff in corridors
5. Poor internet quality
6. Parking system does not work and has not worked properly since a previous in November 2012

WE chose the Marriott Miami Airport as we had to catch an early flight to the Caribbean. The location is fantastic and the restaurants are good. This hotel is in a group that has a Residence Inn, Courtyard, and a Marriott all in the same location. We ate breakfast in the coincierge lounge, lunch in the Marriott, and dinner at the Sports Bar in the Courtyard. It was all good, very typical Marriott fare. Rooms were quiet and comfortable.

We took the free shuttle to the Dolphin mall only to find that it stopped at multiple hotels along the way. The time we spent in the van was not worth the $40.00 we saved in cab fare.

This saved us from taking a red eye into Miami and a 6 hour layover waiting for our connecting flight.

The maid service is rude. Dont expect to sleep, they are so loud. They open every room they need to clean and let the doors slam on the lock. Every morning I was jolted awake by this sound, it happens all the way down the hall!. Then the maids yell at each other. Its horrible. The hotel has just been remodled and this would be an ok place to stay if house keeping wasnt so rude. They ruined my stay. Not to mention the walls are so thin I can hear everything to guy is saying next door. Terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clean rooms and comfortable bedding. Older hotel, but the areas I saw look to have been updated in the last few years. Convenient to the airport. I don't think you would stay here unless you had business nearby or needed to be in/out of the airport. I would choose the Airport Hilton over this hotel.
