8. friendly staff, clean room, close to shopping and dining, only a few minutes from beaches and bayfront marketplace, cheapest parking in downtown from what I was told by other visitors, close to freeway access - found driving in Miami to be a bit overwhelming at first, there was much to do in the vicinity of the hotel, only drove to get to beach, other than that we walked everywhere else, the price was not bad considering it is such a high volume tourist area, but we also booked packge deal with airfare and car, basic room single king that had been updated - clean , everything worked, our balcony overlooked the pool and was quiet, all in all it was a good time, only complaint was the fact that dinner prices in hotel restaurant were same as room service prices - a little over priced, but food was good.
