My family had a great one night stay at the Holiday Inn when we came for Miami Heat game. It is an easy walk to the arena, as well as into downtown and the Bayside area. It is a super convenient location for going to an event at American Airlines arena or for visiting downtown Miami. The hotel was clean and staff helpful. The only problem we encountered was that the business center was woefully inadequate for a hotel this size. It had two computers, one of which was broken, which caused a long wait to print our boarding passes.

We stayed 1 nite post cruise.We were unable to check in earlier so we stored our luggage.

We had a city view room. The room was large, accomodated 5 of us very comfortably. 2 double beds and 1 sofa bed. Walls are thin, we could hear the next room talk and we could hear the doors slam loudly when just shutting them.
Lots to do and see near this hotel. Restaurants, Bayside market place, stores all within walking distance.
We could see and hear renovations going on. That did not impact us.
The concierge attendant was helpful, friendly and seemed to enjoy his job. Helped us with getting a minivan taxi and helping our elderly parents.
Would I stay again?
Definitely,
It's location, location, location!!! and service.

We took a late flight in and overnighted here before a cruise the next day. We spent the morning wandering around the touristy but nice Bayside center just across the street, had a light lunch there, and took a cab the short distance to the pier.

No problems, no hassles, a good location and a good night's sleep.

Our experience exceeded our expectations of this hotel. The service was great and we would like to give our sincere thanks to two employees- Lazaro and Hugo- who were always very professional and went the extra mile to help us out.
