The Hampton Inn is located near the airport. The interesting parts of Miami are Miami Beach and Key Biscane.

The hotel is average but constitutes a great value for the price I'd say as all extras are free: swimming pool, fitness room and secured parking is also included.

Breakfast was good... cheese eggs, biscuits, cereals, oatmeal, breads/bagels, yogurts, fruit. They also offer breakfast on the go bags...nice touch. Cookies were available in the evening.

Service was helpful and the front desk even had menus of area restaurants.

First, I should say, the Hampton Inn is not a luxury hotel - it is a good basic chain hotel with basic amenities. That being said, my husband and I were treated betterat this Hampton Inn than we have been at $1200/nt hotels elsewhere.

We stayed at this hotel for the reason many others do - a pre-cruise night in Miami. We arrived early in the day, to accomodate a visit to Miami Beach to eat at a restaurant we'd been wanting to get to. Upon arrival, our room was immediately available (although it was before check in time). We had a lovely room on a higher floor, with a view of nothing in particular, but that was OK with us. Although it was in close proximity to the airport, there was no airport noise that we noticed.

The gentleman at the front desk offered the use of the shuttle, although we had a vehicle so we didn't need it. He also shared info about some local restaurants, and was in general very accomodating and friendly. We felt very welcome at this hotel.

Bed was very comfy - room was very clean. Check out was a breeze, and breakfast was great. I had my 'norm' - fruit and yogurt, but my husband partook in the hot breakfast of the day, which was an open faced bagel sandwich. He said it was much better than he'd expected, given that it was sitting in a chafing dish.

I'd highly recommend for a pre-cruise night, or even a visit to Miami, as long as you don't mind being 'away from the action' a bit.

We stayed here for a post-cruise night before a flight the next day. The hotel was conveniently located with a Walgreens just across the road and a Wendy's about a block away. Nice Hampton Inn rooms with the curved shower bar is nice. Secured parking lot and elevators. The hot tub was not hot during out night stay, but the pool area was nice. The staff were extremely helpful with locations, maps, weather and flight information. The shuttle begins at 5:00am to the airport, but since our flight was at 6:00am we asked for a taxi pickup at 4:30am and the staff called for a taxi and even paid for the ride!

I like the predictability of Hampton Inn. Breakfast was good...cheese eggs, biscuits, cereals, oatmeal, breads/bagels, yogurts, fruit. They also offer breakfast on the go bags...nice touch. Cookies were available in the evening.

The sheets on the bed were a little slimmer than other Hampton Inns that I've stayed in, but it was fine. Not the best, but fine.

Service was helpful and the front desk even had menus of area restaurants. Fitness center included eliptical maches, treadmills, and a weight lifting system thing...no free weights. Pool was on top of the parking deck.

Secured parking included.
