Located inside the airport, the mid-range Miami International Airport
Hotel is a convenient choice for travelers needing a place to stay before or after
a flight. Limited amenities include a meeting room and a restaurant, but food gets mixed reviews. Breakfast is included in rates and room service is available. The hotel's 259

Scene
Airport hotel that's super convenient, but feels mid-range in every way
By airport hotel standards, this is a pleasant enough pick for those who absolutely must stay inside of the airport itself, but all in all it's about as mid-range as it gets. Guests can enter the lobby through the curbside entrance or from inside the airport, and once inside the bright space definitely has an airport feel. Ceilings are tall, silver columns soar, and colorful floors are lined with playful green and
blue terazzo designs underneath glass bauble light fixtures. The area is often busy and full of guests waiting with their luggage on one of
the several couches or chairs available. Further into the hotel, hallways with patterned
carpeting and beige walls feel more like any other dated, mid-range hotel,
except for the framed aviation-themed pictures placed throughout the
property. Overall, this is a simple hotel whose best feature is its convenient location -- complaints range from inflated rates to datedness issues, and the hotel predictably draws a wide cross-section of guests.
Location
Inside concourse E of Miami International Airport
The hotel is located inside the Miami International Airport, in the departure
level of concourse E, which makes it a
convenient pick for guests who don’t want to bother with an airport shuttle. The
terminal has some shops and a few dining options and there are several
pre-security restaurants in the other terminals. Downtown Miami is about a 15-minute drive from here, or 50 minutes via public transportation. Attractions like the American Airlines Arena, Miami Seaquarium, and Jungle Island are a 20- to 30-minute drive. Expect a 25-minute drive to South Beach in good traffic.
Rooms
Small, clean rooms with flat-screen TVs and coffeemakers, but due for an update
Miami
International Airport Hotel has clean rooms that are reasonably bright, given their largely blue and white color scheme. Lime green bed runners add a pop of color to the spaces, while black-and-white
pictures of the airport and airplanes adorn the walls. Large upholstered headboards and simple dark wood-veneer furniture do look sharp, but when all is said and done, these rooms are the definition of plain. All rooms have 42-inch flat-screen TVs, coffee machines with Seattle’s
Best Coffee, telephones, clock radios, and free Wi-Fi. Studio rooms are small, with beds crammed into
a corner in front of desks, while suites have living areas. Bathrooms have
tile floors and walls plus shower/tub combos. Some have marble tiling, but grout work looks hasty and is discolored in some rooms. Magnifying mirrors and rainfall showerheads are
nice touches. Rooms are quiet and well soundproofed, so airport noise isn’t an issue even in rooms
with runway views. Keep in mind that many guests often complain that rooms are worn and tired.
Features
Few amenities including free Wi-Fi and meeting rooms

events including one with a small kitchen and a murphy bed.
