The verdict

Who's travelling?

Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.

Read it your way

Hilton Miami Dadeland offers spacious guest rooms featuring large floor-to-ceiling windows that capture scenic city and bay views. Guests frequently enjoy comfortable beds with bedside USB ports and roomy bathrooms with walk-in showers and double sinks. However, loud and vibrating air conditioning units struggle to cool rooms against the heat coming through the windows. 162

  • I was struck by how much things had increased in price. I think drinks at the bar had nearly doubled in price in the 4 years. 10
  • Bentley was crazy cash price when we were there, I think around $700 a night. Unknown to me, we were their during springbreak. 10
  • I got a pretty good price with AAA on the hilton for a Bayview Junior suite. It's actually less than the HI-POM. 15

  • Restaurant was typical food priced towards business travelers with an expense/per diem. 1
  • Bentley has a small pool, and a decent greek restaurant that serves the breakfast. The restaurant is owned and run separately, but charges to the room. 10
  • Stayed at Homewood Suites Blue Lagoon recently. Clean, quiet. Breakfast was ok, nothing stellar. 14
  • Going back to Hiltons, the Gabriel South Beach Curio is worth considering. Welcome cocktail, fresh and comfortable room, and I thought breakfast was great. 10

  • as Diamond Ambassador we were upgraded 2 or 3 categories from the basic points Partial Bay View room to Ocean View which was great for waking up and seeing which cruise ships had arrived overnight. 10
  • The floor to ceiling windows in the bay view let a lot of heat in which the curtains struggle to help with. I'm a hot sleeper, so that and the ac struggle was tough but do able. 1

  • Actually the staff were all very nice. I was there for two weeks for business and everyone working there was extremely friendly and professional. 14
  • The service at this property is alright. It isn't too bad but it isn't the best either. They are very professional but the staff are very tired. 8
  • If you are talking about the one at 1601 Biscayne Blvd..We stayed there this past June and LOVE it. Great Staff and the rooms where super. 15
  • Check-in was smooth with professional staff that were a little dull and didn't seem like they wanted to do their job. Overall, check-in was smooth and my room was on the 19th floor. 8
  • The property only has valet unfortunately but the hotel felt a little small for a Marriott property, though it was pretty tall. 8
  • IC miami is over the causeway in Miami itself. It has a really good lobby area with a nice vibe. Rooms are showing their age. 10
