The 131-room Hampton Inn Miami Dadeland is a lower-middle-range chain hotel within walking distance of Dadeland Mall. An outdoor heated pool, hot tub, and free hot breakfast draw many families, while business travelers are also attracted by its meeting rooms, business center, and fitness center. Room decor is a bit bland and dated, though not unpleasant, with flat-screen TVs and coffee/tea facilities. The hotel offers a free shuttle to and from the airport and other local spots, plus there is a metro station nearby that makes traveling around Miami easy. Guests should note that though parking is free, there's a limited amount of spaces. Travelers might also want to consider the Hampton Inn Miami-Coconut Groves/Coral Gable, which offers similar amenities, but is more stylish and closer to the beach.
Scene
Contemporary chain hotel that caters to families and business travelers
The Hampton Inn Miami Dadeland has a streamlined,
contemporary look. Interiors are a bit chain-like and bland, though comfortable, with sleek black-brown furniture, wooden floors, and silver accents in the lobby. The adjacent breakfast area is trendier with black, gray, and green chairs, attractive patterned rugs, and photographs in sleek black frames adorning the walls. Common areas like the hallways show a bit of wear and tear, like worn carpeting. Most guests are families congregating at the
pool or at breakfast.

Rooms

The USB charging stations and laptop lap desks are also nice touches. Most rooms have armchairs, and some King Bed Rooms have sofa beds.
