This certainly isn't the best hotel you will ever find, but it was excellent for location (if you want to be near the airport), cleanliness, neighbourhood, amenities and service. Because it's so close to the airport it is a little noisy. I wouldn't recommend it for light sleepers.
I booked the rooms from the Extended Stay website for $119 with a king bed and pull out double sofa. The rooms were very large with full kitchen area with stove, full-size fridge and microwave. The website says "all rooms recently renovated." I belive this because it looked like we were the first persons to stay in this one. It was that clean. It seems to be a very pleasant/safe neighbourhood with several restaurants, at least one Bar and a grocery store close by.
The entrance is hard to find because you come in through a shopping plaza parking lot and the sign as you enter the shopping plaza makes no mention of the hotel. I had to drive around the block once because I had already missed the driveway by the time I saw the hotel. P.S. - A block in Miami can be a long, long way...
When we arrived the lobby absolutely reeked. It smelled like 125 elderly ladies had just received a perm. The very pleasant desk clerk explained that the laundry discharge system needed to be cleaned out and that the company that provided this service didn't work weekends. It was Sunday night two days before Christmas so I believed him. The smell didn't extend to the floors where the rooms were so it really wasn't a big problem. It was gone by the next morning.
They have a complimentary shuttle to the airport which worked out just fine for us. Ver y friendly driver.
