The two-pearl Fairfield Inn & Suites Miami Airport
South is an ideal hotel for those needing easy access to the Miami International Airport. The hotel and its 96 rooms have a tropical theme, and all rooms come with flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and mini-fridges; suites also have microwaves and couches. Attractive features include a large outdoor hot tub, a fitness center, a business center and free breakfast -- though this is served on paper plates. And while there's on-site parking, it costs an additional fee. Travelers looking for a similar hotel with free parking could consider the Hampton Inn Miami Dadeland.

Scene
Tropical-themed airport hotel catering to families and couples
The Fairfield Inn & Suites Miami Airport South has
a tropical theme beginning with palm trees in the exterior landscaping. The
interior has a fun atmosphere with an orange, green, and blue color scheme accented by an abstract ocean painting behind the front desk. The decor is consistent throughout the hotel, with tropical
floral carpeting in the breakfast room and in the hallways. This chain hotel attracts both leisure and business travelers needing easy access to the airport at budget rates.
Location
Near Miami International Airport and within driving distance of most Miami attractions
One of the Fairfield Inn & Suites Miami Airport South's major selling points is that it’s only an
eight-minute drive to Miami International Airport. The Central Shopping Plaza
is a 12-minute walk away and has a Kmart, a Walgreens, and a few fast food
restaurants. A movie theater, Le Jeune Cinema 6 takes just seven minutes to reach on foot. There
are a variety of dining options within walking distance but most Miami attractions
can only be reached by car. The University of Miami is a 20-minute drive; downtown Miami takes 15 minutes by car; and Miami Beach is a 25-minute drive away.
Rooms
Bright rooms with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers
The Fairfield Inn & Suites Miami Airport South offers two room types: Standard Rooms and Suites, both of which have a similar punchy design in contrasting green and orange. Beds have white linen and dark wooden headboards and sit against orange accent walls, and all units have navy carpet with a graphic green-square pattern and a few tropical art pieces. All rooms have flat-screen
TVs, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers, but no safes. Suites also have microwaves and couches. Bathrooms are medium-sized with shower/tub combos, and all have a fun, sleek design that includes black-and-white thumbnail tiles and olive-green accents, seen in the broadly striped shower curtains.
Features
Free breakfast, hot tub, fitness center, business center, and a free shuttle to the airport
For a two-pearl hotel, the Fairfield Inn has many features that maximize its convenience. The hotel offers a decent free breakfast, though
the plastic cutlery and paper plates provided are a down point. The only
other dining option on-site is a small snack shop in the lobby. There’s also a large outdoor hot tub, though it's not open to children. It’s
surrounded by lounge chairs and a single cabana with a few lime-colored
plush outdoor couches. The hotel's 24-hour fitness center includes six cardio machines
with built-in TVs as well as a rack of free weights. The business center is also open 24 hours a day and has three computers
and a printer for guest use. There's also a fully equipped meeting space that can hold
up to 35 people and a coin-operated laundry room. Use of the hotel's on-site garage parking incurs a fee, but guests can easily access Miami International
Airport using the hotel’s free shuttle (note that hours are limited). Transfers to the cruise port are also available with prior arrangement.
