I stayed here for several days because the hotel at the conference I was attending (Fountainebleu) was booked up. The hotel is clean and well maintained. Rooms are on the small side, particularly for a Marriott Courtyard, but otherwise were fine. Bathrooms and bed were clean. Service and friendliness of the front lobby staff is about average. The free wifi is a plus but the connection is very slow and goes in and out. Location is just steps from a less crowded section of North Miami beach. At $399 per night for a standard room, its about an average value for the area.

There is a Carrabba's in the lobby which was crowded every evening I was there. Also, there is a much more affordable Cuban sandwich place across the street. The employees there are pretty unfriendly, but its a much better value to stock up on your supplies over there, than to pay $2 for a small pepsi at the hotel store.

Its only about a 30 minute taxi ride (about $35) to and from Miami airport.

Stayed here last year with hubby last year in May....if you want peace and quiet and away from the action, this is a place to stay. Don't try to walk from this hotel to South Beach action...its a long walk especially during the day. There is not a lot of restuarant to eat. The buffet breakfast was too expensive and the food served were so...so. You need to take your car to get to a decent restuarant. The rooms are small and the balcony is small as well. We asked for a oceanfront room...couldnt see the ocean just trees and the pool. Overall, its ok to stay here just for peace and quiet and the beach.

I visited this hotel for my first trip to Miami from March 14-18. The hotel is very nice, clean, friendly staff, great pool, and quiet from all the hustle and bustle of South Beach. This hotel is great if you want a quiet vacation. I was a bit disappointed in the distance to Lincoln Road and South Beach. It will take you 30 minutes by foot to walk to 17th Avenue or pay $10 for a cab. Previous reviews said a 20 minute walk which is not true. Other than that, I had a great vacation to Miami.

I stayed here because of it bein close to MT. Sanai Hospital. It was reasonably priced considering it was oceanfront and in Miami Beach. It's a little distance from South Beach's Ocean drive and boutiques but nothing a cab ride can't take care of. Parking is a little strap but reasonable for the location ($29). Plenty of valet guys are awaiting your coming and going.

It's located adjacent to a Carabbas restaurant wit options for dinein or room service. Both were excellent! Also available is a tiki bar wih American fare and courtyards usual AM bufffet option.

I especially loved the path to the semiprivate beach and a boardwalk to take a nice night walk at night. Rooms are not huge but adequately sized. You can choose to splurge an get a suite or oceanfacin room too.
