Bland location in a neighborhood with fast food restaurants
Not convenient to downtown Miami or beaches
This tropical-themed Comfort Suites has all the basic amenities to make a pit stop comfortable (free hot breakfast, coffeemakers in each room, and free Wi-Fi). Rooms are large, with supportive mattresses and neutral color palettes gussied up with red bed runners, palm tree print curtains, and framed prints. Expect views of the outdoor swimming pool or the parking lot. It's an appealing budget pick for guests looking for easy access to the Kendall Medical Center or Florida International University, but it's not convenient to Miami's beaches or airport.
Scene
A friendly, clean chain hotel
The palm trees planted outside the front entrance of the Comfort Suites Miami are a nice reminder of the tropical location of the hotel, though the neighborhood with fast food restaurants is not. Nice extras include free Wi-Fi, a hot breakfast with the price of the room, and in some suites, large whirlpool bathtubs. In the lobby, wrought iron details, a chandelier, dark woods, wicker furniture, and a potted palm tree add a slightly Spanish colonial feel.
Location
Off of the 821 Turnpike near Florida International University and the Kendall Medical Center
The Comfort Suites Miami is more of a clean and comfortable rest stop on a road trip to The Keys than a Miami destination hotel. It's a short drive to Florida International University and Kendall Medical Center, and draws guests interested in visiting both. There isn't much other reason to stay in this neighborhood, which is a 30-minute drive to South Beach and a 20-minute to both Downtown Miami and the airport. A Publix grocery store and fast food chains such as Burger King and KFC are in driving distance.
Rooms
Clean and spacious with mini-refrigerators, coffeemakers, and microwaves
Rooms are on the larger size for what's generally found in Miami, and the decor is attractive and contemporary with a slight tropical flair. Think: fresh white bedding with red bed runners and palm tree print curtains. The small kitchenettes will likely appeal to both families and business travelers. Windows face the parking lot or outdoor swimming pool, though noise shouldn't be an issue.
Features
24-hour business and fitness centers
The Comfort Suites Miami has both a 24-hour business and 24-hour fitness center. The fitness center is brightly lit with all the basic cardio equipment and a flat-screen television. Free breakfast in the morning includes a make-your-own waffle option. The outdoor heated swimming pool is large enough to swim laps.
