Hilton HHonors - Embassy Suites Hotel Miami - International Airport

Has anyone stayed at the Embassy Suite Miami Airport? From the website it sounds like a nice property - any reports?
What can I expect as a Gold Member? This is my first stay at an Embassy Suite Hotel.

I am planning to stay there in Dec (because of an early morning dept to SFO).

Just want to know the quality of this hotel? Are all the rooms = suite?

Also they mentioned on the homepage, complimentary cooked breakfast? Is that a standard in all these Embassy Suite Properties?

Has anyone stayed in the property before? In terms of location is it OK?

ES MIA is good - and ALL ES include a free two hour evening "reception" and cooked-to-order breakfasts, the MIA ES are fairly decent - and all suites, yes, here. I've used this hotel a number of times, especially now that the Doubletree Club is demolished :rolleyes: (joke - the DC MIA was a huge, unabated dump!) and enjoyed it - usually at decent rates. It is on the south side of the airport, and has frequent airport shuttle service and friendly staff.

On the negative side, there is nothing nearby, so you are a bit of a captive with ony a (huge) private off-airport parking nearby. That hasn't deterred me one iota from staying here, and early departures for SFO have been one of the reasons. :)

Thanks. i will definitely consider that if I am getting the early morning flight to SFO!
I presume taxi is still available if I want to goto the South Beach from the hotel?

Also, does the hotel have a coin operated laundry facilities. Is it clean a usable?

Also I read somewhere that the rooms are dirty and old. Have they rennovated recently?
What views does the hotel have?

Compared to the Hilton MIA, which one is better?

Has anyone stayed here? I just used points to book a stay. I am looking for a review. Thanks

Very nice hotel. It lives up to the Embassy reputation though if I remember correctly - you have to pay to park.

I would avoid this property. It is run down, the interior smells musty, it is in a bad part of town, and there are much nicer properties in the area. If the fence surrounding the property is not a tip off, the porn shop across the street should be. If you need to be near the airport, stay at the Hilton. If you can go to miami, stay at the Doubletree in the Grove.

The area isn't the greatest - but the hotel is just fine...no worries.

There is a Hampton and a Homewood a few blocks further from the airport that are quite nice.

I googled the hotel for reviews and majority of people gave it average at best reviews. I'd have to say that I am one nervous about staying here and two glad that I am not paying for it. (points reward)
