The verdict

This airport hotel serves mainly as a convenient transit base for pre-cruise trips and flight layovers. Guests appreciate the clean rooms, big TVs, and free perks like the breakfast and evening reception. However, reviewers frequently complain that the location is isolated with no walkable dining, making on-site meals feel pricey. 181214

How to book
Score breakdown
How the 86/100 is built, category by category — each one with the strongest thing travelers actually said, and the source it came from.
Bathroom
92- “The bathroom was really clean, which I think if the bed is comfy and the bathroom is clean, that's a sign that I'm going to enjoy my stay.” 44:24
- “Stayed there for a day (few hours) when returning from a cruise and had an evening flight. It was good for a nice hot shower and nap but anything longer then a few hours or the convenience of being inside the airport I would rather stay in Miami.” 1
Food
85- “In addition, there's a free airport shuttle, an excellent free hot breakfast, a pool and Jacuzzi, an on-site restaurant and bar, and an excellent, 24-hour fitness center.” 23
- “Dinner: absolutely fantastic. We were thoroughly surprised a sports bar had such high quality offerings like red snapper and fajitas. Huge portions and extremely tasty.” 13
Location
91- “One of the biggest advantages of this hotel is its prime location. You are situated just minutes away from the bustling Miami International Airport, making it an ideal home base whether you're arriving for a long vacation or catching an early flight.” 180:28
- “I like the Hampton Inn & Suites Airport South Blue Lagoon. 5 min uber from the airport (they also have a shuttle), walking distance to a Publix for last minute essentials, and most importantly-extremely clean and awesome staff.” 1
Noise
92- “Thinking that it's at the airport, you might be concerned that it would be very noisy. But look here at the window. Not only are there two sets of curtains, one is a blackout. Then you can open these up and see that the window is double pane. There's a big huge gap in the middle that helps to soundproof it.” 44:59
- “Stayed at Homewood Suites Blue Lagoon recently. Clean, quiet.” 11
Room
91- “The bed was very comfortable. You can see the room is spacious enough and it has all the amenities that you would want in a hotel room, a basic hotel room.” 43:01
- “Great for families and groups -- all 318 guest rooms are one-bedroom suites that sleep up to six people (given the extra pullout sofa bed).” 23

85Bed & Sleep
88Nothing quotable yet on this one — the score leans on the rest of the coverage.
Value
86- “We used Lyft to get to the port and the price was under $20. Our room was clean and very well maintained.” 12
- “For families and travelers on a budget, the value proposition here is hard to beat. Children between the ages of 1 and 17 can stay free of charge, which can significantly lower your total travel costs.” 18

- “5. General manager Jacques Clavel said to call him, but he wont take my calls, and wont return them.” 5
- “The shower was nice. The basic room amenities met my needs.” On camera45:51
- “Stayed there for a day (few hours) when returning from a cruise and had an evening flight. It was good for a nice hot shower and nap but anything longer then a few hours or the convenience of being inside the airport I would rather stay in Miami.” 1
- “Also, while the sink provided water pressure strong enough to overwhelm the drain, the shower pressure was pretty bad and I'm certain it was because the shower head had a strong buildup of calcium or lime.” 13
- “The bathroom was really clean, which I think if the bed is comfy and the bathroom is clean, that's a sign that I'm going to enjoy my stay.” On camera44:24
- “The bathroom was a good size for the room but we realized there was no toilet paper holder and (as seen in the photo) the roll is just housed on the shelf over the back of the toilet.” 13
- “Our room was clean and very well maintained. We enjoyed the free evening reception and the free breakfast.” 12
- “Lobby is very spacious. It includes breakfast hot/cold foods with lots of seating. The cruise port is very close too.” 1
- “It's true that it is isolated, not in walking distance of any stores or restaurants. We had lunch at the on-site restaurant and it was good, but pricey.” 12

- “here's a view in the morning of the breakfast area which does get a little crowded so it was a little hard you have a larger family to find seating together” On camera94:24
- “Embassy suites have an evening happy hour and better breakfast. If it's just a place to sleep before your cruise, I'd say it's a toss up.” 5
- “The breakfast was the same "hot continental" buffet we're used to - scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, waffle maker, pastries and toast, cereals and a few beverages. And it wasn't very good. The bacon was limp, the sausage cold and nasty, the eggs meh.” 13
- “Not a great hotel but acceptable for a short stay. It was super convenient to get a breakfast sandwich and coffee in the morning at the Dunkin Donuts in the terminal as it is close to the hotel entrance.” 1
- “3. The restaurant tried to blatantly over charge us, and it took 45 minutes to get a manager to fix it.” 5

- “I like the Hampton Inn & Suites Airport South Blue Lagoon. 5 min uber from the airport (they also have a shuttle), walking distance to a Publix for last minute essentials, and most importantly-extremely clean and awesome staff.” 1
- “I like the Hampton Inn & Suites Airport South Blue Lagoon. 5 min uber from the airport (they also have a shuttle), walking distance to a Publix for last minute essentials, and most importantly-extremely clean and awesome staff. Reasonably priced in my experience.” 1
- “Since it is close to the airport, you do hear the roar of planes taking off and landing.” 12
- “Haven't stayed there for a long time because too many other, nicer hotels have popped up. Google has 5,683 reviews and the average is only 3.6 out 5. Not Good. Plus I think the location is bad.” 20
- “The hotel airport shuttle leaves the hotel every hour on the hour and hit arrivals about 20 minutes after the hour. Didn't like that it's such a long wait but we were fortunate in that we got our luggage close to the top of the hour and therefore waited 'only' 30 minutes.” 13
- “Downtown is only 12 minutes away by road, with a 20 minute journey from the hotel door to Port Miami and Dolphin Mall, making it a well-placed base for exploring the local attractions.” 17

- “So when I entered the room, my room is on the fourth floor. You can see it's not very spacious, but it's modern and clean.” On camera42:21
- “The bed was very comfortable. You can see the room is spacious enough and it has all the amenities that you would want in a hotel room, a basic hotel room.” On camera43:01
- “The cleanliness of the room wasn't awful but I said something along the lines of "this is the dirtiest clean room" because there was mild staining on the duvet, a pillowcase, armchair, and curtains, and there were 4 strands of hair still stuck on the shower walls.” 13
- “You can see the room is spacious enough and it has all the amenities that you would want in a hotel room, a basic hotel room. There's a desk with this comfortable swivel chair. In fact, it matches my shirt.” On camera43:03
- “Great for families and groups -- all 318 guest rooms are one-bedroom suites that sleep up to six people (given the extra pullout sofa bed).” 23
