Clarion Inn and Suites Miami Airport

Excellent for one night pre flight. Not flash and quite old but room rate Staff understand hospitality! Hotel offered top value. Uber $12 to MIA.

Stayed one night before a flight. This is definitely a high use hotel due to airport location. To/from airport shuttle offered. Shuttle to Miami cruise port offered for a cost. Building is older and needs some upkeep however appears to be clean. Staff are friendly. Convenience store next door (24hrs) and some restaurants within walking distance. Specific to our room: water took FOREVER to get warm, not even hot. TV did not work; kept getting input errors. Asked three times for maintenance to fix however concerns were not addressed. Air is damp, overly deodorized. Beds are not the most comfortable but pillows are. Pay for parking, small exercise area, car rental onsite and continental breakfast. Shampoo/conditioner are multi use and wall mounted. Booked this room directly and paid in advance. When checking in was told there was a $3 hotel fee that needed to be paid- did not ask why, just paid it. If you need someplace close to airport with shuttle services this will suffice however there are better options within the area. Tip: if needing cruise shuttle try reserving in advance as the 10am fills up fast.

So...full disclosure...this review is based on the fact that I had (apparently) "booked" through a third party and, since it had been a while ago, had forgotten and booked at a different hotel. Since I did not show up, and had not cancelled the reservation, I was charged for the room. Seeing the charge Clarion said to call the hotel directly so I called to inquire and the person I spoke with (who was very kind) told me there was nothing I could do. It is on me but that is just smacks of bad business. I cannot recommend such a business to anyone.
