Very expensive to stay there....but worth it, because we didn't have to get up early for a 9:50 flight. Room was ok. A brick wall was the view and a pillar in the room made getting out of one side of the bed difficult but it seemed clean and it was quiet. A voucher for breakfast was given. We checked our bags in the morning at American Airlines which was very close, then went to breakfast, then got our carry on bags from our room. If we had an early flight out of the Miami airport again, we would stay there. Very convenient.

Ok, so if you're staying in an airport hotel you're not expecting 5 star luxury and the best hotel you've ever experienced. But seriously, this place is so tired it's virtually narcoleptic.
Stepping out of the lift (elevator for our American cousins) you are faced with an endless beige corridor of doors. Nothing welcoming at all. The room? Small and functional. If only the walls were made from the same noise blocking glass as the windows, didn;t hear a single plane all night, just every word said by anyone in a 3 room radius.
It did a job for a late night arriving/early departing schedule, but seriously next time I'll pay the return cab fair to go in to town and get a decent meal and night's sleep.

First and Foremost, the Front Desk was pleasant and accommodating!. We stayed two Saturdays this trip. On the first Saturday of our layover to Brazil we got a nice quiet room. So we requested the same room for the following week. TA-Dah we had it waiting for us at 9pm when we arrived back from Brazil.

The main hotel was cleaner too!

Some construction signs so that leads me to believe updates are happening.

The rooms need renovating yet. The carpeting is too old to clean and needs to be pulled I would replace with hard surface flooring like in the bathrooms. Easier to clean and does not retain smoke from travelers who do not obey the 100% non smoking rule.

Had to laugh ... The shower head is a huge pan head design. Not conducive to quick turn around showers. I cannot believe anyone would take a long relaxing shower at a layover hotel,

I was stuck on the elevator for 35 long minutes with four other people. When I spoke with the front desk after being saved by the police and fire dept. The rude girl behind the desk had no apologies and told me" the elevators don't break down very often" Well l I have been on a few elevators in my life and have never been trapped before. This hotel is very poor on every level. I do not recommend staying here at the Miami International Airport Hotel.
