Given our situation, being stranded in Miami for one day, we were able to book a room through Hotwire for $150 per night. I must say the hotel was nice. If it wasnt for the cold front in Florida, we might have enjoyed the pool. The cab ride from the airport cost about $24. Across the street from the hotel there are gas stations with convenience store, Dunkin Donuts, Wendy's and McDonalds. There is a free airport shuttle that runs every hour. I have no complaints for a one night stay due to a flight cancellation. If I ever return to Miami would I stay here again? No only because it's too far away from South Beach and nightlife. Best way would be to rent a car. There is a parking lot on the hotel premises.

The service/room/food/concierge were all outstanding at this hotel, I really was impressed by it all. I was upgraded for free to a room on the 28th floor with large panoramic views over the bay and a very large bed with pillow menu and a huge bathroom with separate wet room. The concierge was so helpful in organising a trip to the Everglades and organised dinner for us at The Blue Door at the Delano hotel - a real must - especially with the exchange rate at present, and at Touch - another fabulous boutique style restaurant on South Beach. All in all a brilliant stay.

We booked this hotel through Priceline after finding out that a decent hotel in the Miami area is very expensive. We were only staying for an evening on our way from Minnesota to Jamaica. We got a great rate ($150 for one night) and had a fabulous stay!

The rooms are nicely decorated and the beds are comfortable. Included in our room rate was a breakfast buffet (bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes, cereal, oatmeal, toast, muffins, fresh tropical fruit, etc), tea time (tea, coffee and snacks) from 2-4, and also a cocktail hour where we received 2 free drinks and appetizers. All of these activities took place down the hall from our room on the 3rd floor. There is also a complimentary shuttle to/from Miami International Airport. You get a lot of bang for your buck!

We utilized the concierge and he was EXTREMELY helpful. We told him that we wanted to eat at a Brazillian steak house in the area. Within 5 minutes he had made us reservations and called us a cab. When we arrived the woman at the front desk was also very helpful in offering dining options!

The only negative thing I have to say is that we called the front desk to see if we could get a room at the same rate for our one night stay after our Jamaica trip, and they were not able to accommodate us. I was a little surprised considering it would have been on a Tuesday night, so I can't imagine they would be full. I was told I would need to go through the Priceline process again.

I stayed here 12/23-12/24 2007 prior to my cruise. I found this upscale hotel to be Very clean, very nice and friendly staff, very good location, very quiet and price could not be beaten.

No complaints will stay again.
