Far from Miami’s popular attractions
The lower-middle-range Quality Inn Miami Airport Hotel is
conveniently located near Miami International Airport, which is accessible by a
free shuttle (though there are some complaints of its infrequent schedule). An outdoor pool and free breakfast buffet make this a family-friendly hotel, while many business travelers are drawn by the airport-adjacent location and features like a business
center and 24-hour fitness center. The 129 rooms are spacious and cheery and include microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffee/tea makers, though there have been many complaints of cleanliness issues. For a similar (but trendier)
hotel with a convenient airport location, it may be worth checking prices at
the Hampton Inn & Suites Miami-Airport South-Blue Lagoon.
Scene
Chain motel-style property that caters to families and airport-bound travelers
Quality Inn Miami Airport is a motel-style property housed in a three-story yellow-hued building that's skirted by tall palm trees
and flowering bushes. The lobby is a mix of warm
earth tones like brown, tan, and forest green, with wooden furnishings and wall paneling as well as interesting
decorative pieces like a large wall map and a fish tank. A small breakfast room adjoins the lobby and
is furnished with a variety of tables and chairs as well as a long line of bar seating against the windows. Hallways maintain the earth-tone color scheme, with yellow and beige walls
and brown and tan carpeting marked with fun floral designs. Guests are mostly families
congregating at the pool and at breakfast in the morning.
Location
Close to the airport and Dolphin Mall
The hotel is located about a 20-minute drive from Miami
International Airport, and a free shuttle is provided, though guests have made
complaints about its infrequent schedule. The
closest restaurant is a three-minute walk, though for a more diverse selection,
guests must cross NW 36th Street to access an area with other dining
options (a six-minute walk). Dolphin Mall is a thirteen-minute drive away, and the hotel offers a shuttle for a fee to take guests to this area. Popular attractions like Calle Ocho shopping center and Marlins Ballpark are about a
20-minute drive away, while downtown Miami is about a half-hour drive from here. Miami Beach and Virginia Key Beach can be reached in about 35 minutes by car.
Rooms
Spacious rooms with microwaves, mini-fridges, and flat-screen TVs; some cleanliness complaints
The hotel's spacious rooms have
cheery yellow-colored walls and bedspreads that pair well with wooden furnishings and red armchairs. Amenities include flat-screen TVs with HBO, coffee/tea facilities, microwaves, and mini-fridges. Mattresses were recently replaced with Serta-branded ones. Bathrooms are fairly standard, though tiny, with shower/tub combos and toilets, while sink areas are separate. Guests should note that there have been complaints about cleanliness and maintenance issues, as well as traffic noise in rooms that are close to the highway.
Features
Outdoor pool, a free breakfast buffet, and a fitness center
The best feature of the hotel is its outdoor pool, which is accessible for handicapped individuals. Lounge chairs, towels, a
grill, and pool toys are also available. A free breakfast buffet is served daily, though some guests have complained about the quality. The motel has a
24-hour fitness center with four machines, a flat-screen TV, and towels. The
Guest Market in the lobby sells snacks and drinks, and there's a coin-operated
guest laundry room on-site. There’s also a business
center with a computer and printer for guests, plus Wi-Fi is free throughout.
