Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked Deluxe, received Club room.

How are the rooms?
I think a Club room is no different than a normal room. But still the rooms were renovated not too long ago and are nicely appointed. I was by myself so didn't press for a larger room.

How is the exec. lounge?
Average size, layout, F&B. At happy hour they had some kind of beef empanadas and cheese rolls. Breakfast was ok.

Did you receive a welcome gift?
Nice fruit and cheese platter.

How was the minibar?
Laurent-Perrier Champagne, red and white wine, Corona and Heineken, Herradura Tequila, etc. You need to ask for a mini-bar key at reception.

What was good and what was bad?

-Good
Room quality is much better than the usual airport hotel.
Free parking
Close to the outlet malls, Everglades, and you avoid most of the Miami traffic when driving north or south.
When you count free parking, it was almost $200 per night cheaper than the downtown IC. At least for my dates.

-Bad
Even with the nice room quality, it's still just an airport hotel.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points?
Yes

Would you return?
Yes for the convenience.
