I always like to stay close to the venue I'm going to whether it be for a running event or sports event in this case it was Orange Bowl. I liked the fact it was close enough to walk. Yes it is little over a mile walk but most offsite parking is at least that and I walk longer to get to Georgia football stadium in Athens. They do offer a shuttle for $30 however we decided to walk and got pleasant surprise there are parking lots right behind hotel that was running free shuttles to and from stadium so we walked a fraction of what we were planning to. Not door to door service but not a bad walk either. Room was clean and furniture in great condition and a/c worked great. Only negative comment was bathroom sink counter could be a little bigger to have place to put tolietries etc. Lobby, Pool area, minuture golf all in great condition. Front desk staff very helpful and freindly. If you want a balcony request pool/stadium view the city view only has a "ledge" for patio while the other side has room for chairs and table.

This Hotel is the closest one to the Hard Rock stadium, you can walk to the game ( approx 25 minute walk) or the have a shuttle to and from the game which you will have to pay for. The hotel is a little old but still in decent condition. The food in the bar area is good or you can order out and get it delivered from a lot of good restaurants in the area. The breakfast was complimentary and was fantastic, the staff were all very polite and helpful. I would definitely stay here again!!

We were a little nervous about staying ‘off the beaten path’ from Hilton but could not pass up on the price. Although a little dated, it was very clean and had excellent staff. Walking distance to the orange bowl and Calder Casino for gambling. Uber rides were about $20-$30 everywhere else including airport and beach. I would stay here again for the price

What a blast!! This four day stay was an unbelievable adventure to the 2022 Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix, on arrival I was greeted with the Formula 1 theme presented by management and staff, the front desk staff was friendly and efficient and presented me with a comfortable room. The room had a king bed with relaxing features and an ample bathroom with combined bath/shower after settling in, I went downstairs to the sports bar which was pleasant with offers of food and drink which were both very enjoyable. The evening was pleasant and the bed comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was offered on the top floor with again the Formula 1 theme. Both continental and hot food and drinks were offered and delish. As the hotel is just over a mile from the stadium / circuit we walked every day back and forth to the event, there was a transport service to and from the circuit for a small fee. The hotel is close to the Florida Turnpike so access is pretty unstressed. Parking is ample and there is security patrolling the parking lot. There is a wonderful pool on site, a mini 9 hole putting course and basket ball court. All in all, the 4 days was something to remember and will have many memories for years to come. Thank you management and staff for making this stay spectacular.

Family vacations are always fun and expensive. This hotel is located in a good area, 20-30 min from different places (like FLL airport, Miami Beach, the Dolphin mall and Sawgrass mall) and that is the main reason why we decided to stay here, my wife wanted to go shopping and as I said, the hotel is very close to lots if places.
Now, the hotel is nice, comfortable, wifi is not good (at all), not sure if it was just our room, I asked and nothing happen, Julio from the front desk told me wifi was great, but that was not my case. He was very friendly!
The swimming pool was good, min golf good, breakfast was... Not much to say about breakfast... Sports bar was good, there are some vending machines and all I can say is the hotel is good! Honestly.

I really think the hotel would be amazing if they had better hospitality with their guests.
They can’t even get you a plastic fork from the brake fast area, nor help you find a solution. Very very bad service. That is what hospitality is about.

We stayed over Christmas night for the Dolphins & Packers game and the accommodations were absolutely perfect! Room was available at checkin prior to 1pm game and the woman at the front desk during checkin was just so friendly!! We purchased the shuttle to the game in the lobby and got to stadium early to walk around. We ended up walking back to the hotel after the game as it seemed faster than waiting for shuttle to keep returning as they only hold 15 people. The walk is not far back to hotel. Ended the night with a drink at the hotel bar (wish it was bigger as it was packed and no where to sit) so we got free popcorn just cooked in lobby and returned to our room. Continental breakfast on 9th floor in morning was a pleasant surprise! Lots of hot and cold options! Thank you for a wonderful Christmas experience!!

Stay was beyond expectations. Breakfast was fine, room and location were fantastic. However the staff and the ambience of the hotel for a football game was fantastic. Super accommodating and generous staff and hanging the flags of both teams was a great touch. The pool, basketball court and mini golf also a great way to spend time!
My son and I will definitely return!

Just stayed here for two nights to attend the Miami Open. I had booked about four different hotels before I ultimately decided on Stadium Hotel. The close proximity to Hard Rock Stadium was a plus for us. Check in was a breeze. In order to use the elevators, you need to scan your room card. There was always someone working the front desk, even during the late night hours. It was nice to know the hotel takes measures to stay safe! The hotel offered a shuttle service to and from the stadium for $20 per person. We did not use that service. Complimentary breakfast was great! Huge variety of items. The room was all decorated for the tennis tournament. Nice views of the Miami skyline, too. Every staff member we came in contact with was extremely friendly. We will definitely stay here again next year! Room was spacious and smelled very clean. Beds were comfortable. I wouldn't say these rooms are "2023". But, we didn't really care. We had a safe, clean room to sleep in. Mini fridge kept our drinks cold. Balcony was nice.
