Clarion Inn & Suites Miami Airport

I would have given this hotel 0 stars if i could. The shuttle did. I had to wait 1 hour and 10 minutes for the shuttle to pick me up from the airport. When i artived, they gave me a room with twin beds instead of a king (they were out of single bed rooms). When i woke up, there was No Hot Water to shower with (4:30am).
The room had stains on the furniture and women’s hair all over the bathroom.
I would not recommend staying here.

Thank god I only had to stay there one night — even that was DISASTROUS! Forget the fact that the MUCH REQUESTED 2:15am Wake up call NEVER CAME. The hotel’s décor is very very dated (think 20 years ago) and dingy. Take a close look at the «sofa type» furniture in the lobby and you will see stains/​dirt.
Aside from the dingy décor palate, the bathroom door in my room was so warped that it would not close and the door was «stained» with rusty hinges! The bath tub is cracked and floor of the tub literally bounces because of sub-​floor deterioration!
Folks, for the same money, go down the street to COMFORT INN. It is a whole world of difference. If I rated CLARION at 1 star, COMFORT is 4 – 5 stars out of 5! Comfort Inn not only provides wireless PRINTING (for boarding passes) but each room has a large refrigerator AND microwave. Clarion? NOTHING.

I stayed here for 2 nights & it served it’s purpose of sleeping & showering. This whole airport area needs a facelift. It appears to be old & run down in this area.
The older male who checked us in late at night was very accomodating. Hallways weren’t the cleanest on the 3^rd floor and they could use a good paint job!!!
Our rooms were comfy. Beds nice. Bathroom clean, but the bathroom had rust stains that they need 2 fix.
The airport shuttle driver needs to SLOW DOWN!!! He missed us his 1^st time coming around. 2^nd time we had 2 scream & jump up & down 2 get him 2 stop! I’d stay again if needed.

nothing good to say about this hotel. The only two ice machines in the hotel is not working, the guest laundry has flooded into the lobby for the past week and we have told them many of times about this i guess they are waiting for someone to slip and fall and hurt themselves and get sued before they fix it. not worth the price you pay for the rooms. and the hotel is old as dirt

This place didn’t have our reservations ready. Which makes entirely no sense.
They do have a shuttle that will pick you up free of charge from the airport and take you to the hotel.
The rooms with 2 beds are very spacious. the give lots of towels and pillows. Everything was clean to my liking.

So I’ll start off with the positives. The location is hard to beat and we were offered a very competitive rate ($ 125) for this area and how close it is to the airport. It also has a free shuttle that will run to the airport which is a huge plus for most travelers as it was for us. We were put up in a room on the 11^th floor (top floor) so I’m not sure about the other floors but our room was very big and had a raised ceiling that was about 10 – 11′ tall. Beds were clean and tv was a 42″ flat screen which is good for the room size. They also offer a complimentary breakfast but make sure you’re there early because it’s all cleaned up and locked at 9am sharp. Location to other nearby restaurants is convent and easy to walk to. The staff was also very friendly for us.
Now for the bad. The rooms smelled like they had just been flooded and we’re still air drying out. A very musky and «wet dog» odor. Hallways shared the same interesting trait. The coffee was closer to a mud flavor than actual coffee, don’t plan on drinking it if you go here. The bathroom was very big and so was the shower but the counter in ours was literally coming off the wall and was sagging. I felt like I was back in a college dorm room with how many flyers we got shoved under our door and were laying in the hall. Maintenance was an obvious disregard and something that if improved could change a lot of these reviews. Last thing, with the shuttle be prepared to load your own bags. The driver for us opened up the back and then immediately disappeared until we took off.
Overall, if you can manage to get a rate that beats out everyone then you won’t suffer from the regret of overpaying for this place. It’s not horrible but I wouldn’t throw it out there as my first choice.

Oh my. Ok, do yourself a favor and don’t stay here. My coworker was totally bitten up by bedbugs, and upon leaving we noticed a huge pile of mattresses outside the hotel! Absolutely horrible, never again.

American Airlines stuck me here for a night as a «token» to retain my business.
Without a doubt, this hotel was the worst I’ve stayed in over my 10+ years «on the road/​in the air» for work.
Ranging from the miserable food offered in their café to the property’s horrible upkeep, it is ignorant and laughable to think American Airlines is providing its customers a service by providing them a reservation here.
Stay away!

No Stars!!! This place is literally a dump!!! I got stuck here by American Airlines and was given vouchers for the hotels «restaurant» and stay. The restaurant is literally a joke! I ordered ribs dinner special for $ 16.99 a salad $ 8.95, spinach n artichoke dip $ 6.95 and only one drink for the grand total of $ 38.00!!! Received my food within 5 mins. Really?! Everything tasted microwaved. The steamed vegetables tasted frozen and half cooked. The artichoke dipped was watery-​It literally dipped off the flappy pita beard. I can’t wait to leave this hell hole.

What a dump?
Got suck here overnight because American Airlines systems went down and they screwed over all their passengers. The whole hotel smells. Sheets stained and so old you could see right through them. Room filthy. Feels and looks like one of those nasty by the hour sex hotels. Skeeved is in every way where we could not sleep. Mini fridge made so much noise we had to unplug it. Nasty nasty Nasty!!!

I’ll give it a very very soft 2 and only because I’m laying in bed and it’s comfy. Otherwise ugh.
We missed our connecting flight and so our airline put us up in here because there weren’t any other flights home. Fantastic way to end your wedding/​honeymoon!
Anyways, it’s old and totally dumpy. The hallways have a slight smell and the ceiling is gross. On the fourth floor the maid closet? By the elevator is totally missing an entire door handle. As in you can see STRAIGHT thru into the room and go in if you desire.
We had food cards and since it was already 7 we went to get food. Literally nothing looked appealing. Settled on pepperoni pizza and some soda. It was not toasted at all, looked like it was barely cooked. Yea couldn’t eat it.
The bathroom is small and dinky. Don’t expect much there and the toilet paper sucks.
The bed is quite comfy and has a nice fluffy comforter that reminds me of home and bunches of pillows. The tv isn’t too bad.
Bottom line: meh, clean (looking) and comfy bed. I would not choose to stay here on my own accord.

So we were stuck due to an issue with our previous flight. My flight home didn’t leave until Tues morning, so the airline set us up here.
Here’s my overview of this hotel:
Yes, it definitely isn’t a 5* hotel, BUT its comfortable, quiet, and conveniently close to the airport. The 2 front desk clerks were friendly and efficient in moving the long line waiting to check in. When it was my turn, Rick was the front desk clerk that assisted me. He was very friendly, quick and efficient in setting us up in our room, and despite he had someone waiting on a call (whom he was also assisting) he answered all my questions. We make our way to our room and I’m pleasantly surprised to see how spacious it was. We got a double bed room, and the room was clean, a little cooler than we’d preferred but we changed that quickly. We quickly settled in and gave the room a look over. The bathroom was clean and set up with clean towels. We were hungry and decided to grab a late dinner at the restaurant downstairs… while they were closing the staff remained open for us and allowed us to still place our order to go, which we were okay with because we really wanted to just sit in bed. My son ordered a chicken Caesar salad and I ordered the chicken parmesan, both were finger lickin good! Absolutely DELICIOUS! The tv in our room was nice and big, but the best part of our stay besides it being on the airlines dime was the big, comfy, bed. OMG! We nestled into our beds and soon after having that dinner and having everything packed and ready to go, we were soon fast asleep and the tv was watching us. I’d consider staying here again.
The staff upon our exit was equally as nice. The shuttle bus was there on time and the complimentary breakfast was equally as AWESOME! Oh and did I mention FREE WI-​FI?! Bonus! Thanks, for a great stay!

The point of staying at an airport hotel is that it is fast and convenient. Unfortunately, this hotel does not work that way. The shuttle service is unreliable. We were ready nearly 2 hours prior to our departure, yet somehow we came dangerously close to not getting our flight.

If I could I give it no stars … Has a smell to it that doesn’t go away no matter what you do. The beds looked like they have been slept in. Ordered food and took an hour to get it. This place is so under staffed it not even funny. I am glad I am only staying 1 night …

This hotel is just to place to rest your head. There is nothing fancy about here at all. I was thankful for a warm bed when my flight issues occurred.

This is a poor hotel. We waited forty minutes for their shuttle bus. Our room smelled, We could not open a window for fresh air. When my wife asked for another room, they were full. The tub was tiny. The restaurant is more like a cafeteria than a true restaurant. Places are not set. You must take your utensils to yuor table. There are no servers to take your requests.. Napkins are brown paper. Beer and wine only. Merlot by the glass was to be placed in a chilled glass. Even after I prevented this gaffe, the wine was undrinkable. American Airlines sends their stranded passengers to this establishment, even first class. The phones in the rooms do not work according to the printed instructions. If you don’t have a working cell phone, the front desk sends you to the gift shop to buy a phone card not mentioning that there are pay phones around a corner in the lobby. Caveat emptor.

American Airlines puts you here if there are connection problems. My 6Am flight from Albuquerque didn’t leave until 1:15 Pm so that necessitated my stay here. The tub is so slippery that I bumped my left shin. I could’ve EASILY fallen! The room temp was set on 40 Degrees in October? It’s taking forever to heat. The towel racks are rusted and should be IMMEDIATELY replaced. American gives vouchers for the Comfort Inn & Suites. When the Asian bus driver dropped us off he said «it says Clarion, but it is the Comfort Inn». This is after he slammed on the brakes a few times. The TV is great. It’s a large Panasonic. The toiletries are fine. The bed is comfortable.

Comfortable beds, lots of pillows, quiet between rooms, free shuttle, across from airport, no plane noise, free WiFi, large clean room, huge free breakfast, and one of the lowest cost hotels near downtown Miami. Plain (almost nonexistent décor) reminds me of Soviet era housing. Since you don’t get any benefit from stylish decorations at an overnight stay, this place is highly recommended.

I did a one night stay here. Im glad they had a room available because most of the hotels in Miami were booked for the winter holidays and The life in Color party. The price I paid was reasonable. The room was neat and tidy, there is however that overwhelming hotel smell in the room and hallway. You know that pool water smell that a hotel can have, we ended up buying a can of air freshener to mask the odor. Our room came with a little refrigerator and microwave flat screen tv and a nice view from our 9^th floor room. The reason I give the hotel 2 stars, the bathroom can stand to use a bit of updating and so could the thermostat. If you are here to do a one night stay and need a place close to the airport that offers free shuttles. This isn’t the best hotel but it’s not the worst either. Oh yeah and as I type my review looking out my 9^th floor window I can hear someone in a room near by using the bathroom… Oh Great!

Average standard of Comfort Inn. The room doesn’t have microwave inside though. But good price bc we were staying there for the New Year’s Eve, and pretty close to the airport.
We didn’t get the breakfast bc they started late on Jan 1^st, which makes sense, it’s a holiday anyways.
Other than that, clean room and nice staff, 24 hour hot water and coffee in the lobby.
The parking area is big, and it means you might walk a little bit from your car.
