However, visitors regularly run into spotty Wi-Fi connections that drop throughout the stay, along with shaky elevators and noticeable street noise. 156

  • first let's talk about the location it's centrally located which is great if you want to explore Miami however some guests have complained about the noise levels you know the kind that reminds you of that one Uncle who can hold his karaoke notes rating 7 out of 10 On camera30:17
  • Guests praise the helpful staff, stylish, well-maintained ambience and location for its strolling distance to scores of downtown Miami restaurants. 10

  • It should be noted that this is a very secure hotel. The bell desk is on the first floor, while the front desk is at the sixth floor. Parking is on the 2nd-5th floors. Hotel rooms are on floors 7 through 15, but require a key card to access. 4

  • Guests praise the helpful staff, stylish, well-maintained ambience and location for its strolling distance to scores of downtown Miami restaurants. 10
  • the checkout time at this hotel is at 12 noon which is great because it gives you a little more flexibility if you're trying to catch the bright line like we are or if you're trying to get to the cruise port or to catch a little bit of a later flight in the afternoon you don't have that window of time that you have to kill as much On camera712:58
  • One of the only negatives guests report about the Hampton Inn is a bit of confusion upon arrival. A sleek, modern desk on the ground floor appears to be the check-in area, but guests are then directed to take the elevator to the hotel's lobby, which is located on the sixth floor. 10
  • from the friendly staff to the modern rooms and delicious breakfast every aspect exceeded my expectations On camera11:34
  • One of the things I love most about staying at a Tru property is how seamless everything feels. You get flexible check-in starting at 3:00 p.m., which is a lifesaver when your flight lands a little early, and a super easy checkout process by 11:00 a.m. 5
  • as for the staff they seem to be friendly and helpful one guest noted they received early check-in which is A+ it's like getting a surprise donut when you thought it was a day without treats rating 8 out of 10 On camera31:09

  • Something to note- Studio Suites have kitchenettes with microwave, fridge, and more. Also, separate seating area divided from bed area by desk/dining table. Regular rooms have none of these features. For us, worth the extra $ for studio, particularly for multi-night stay. 4
