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

This airport-adjacent hotel serves as a practical base for transit and cruise departures with its free shuttle service and casual on-site dining. Guests appreciate the clean remodeled rooms, comfortable beds, and the lively sports bar serving tasty dinners. However, the property has no elevators for second-floor luggage hauling, and guests frequently complain about glacially slow Wi-Fi. 3146

Service8 mentions · 1 filmed
  • My one beef with the stay was the shuttle service. The hotel uses 'system shuttle miami' (systemshuttle.com) for their shuttle service. It was $10pp one way. The trip TO the ship was uneventful but the return was another story. 15
  • The staff were friendly and accommodating and the room was clean and quiet. 15
  • The staff were all very courteous and helpful. 14
  • The rooms were comfortable and the bathroom was excellent, the hotel staff was friendly if a bit short-staffed, the hotel offered breakfast but made its eggs lukewarm (alas) and hid its plasticware in a box that was hard to identify, as well as limited tea options. 6
  • Huge portions and extremely tasty. Our server was also very friendly, had a great sense of humor and made great recommendations on drinks and food. 14
  • the checking process was great the checkout process was great so i'm ready to leave the room i am about to check in again On camera106:36
  • Wish I had seen this thread before you rebooked. That Ramada is a nice hotel. Remodeled a couple of years ago and the rooms are quite nice. 15
  • The beds were okay - the kind of soft that comes from being worn vs made that way - but the pillows were square like throw pillows and collapsed once I put my head on them. 14
Food7 mentions
  • Breakfast was pretty good too if I remember correctly...pre-covid of course. 8
  • The Ramada one is nice. rooms are fairly large, and Tom's restaurant and bar attached is nice. 8
  • woot. We have stayed on the North Side at the Best Western Miami Airport Noth 3 times. Nice place, good breakfast. 8
  • 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. 14
  • 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. 14
  • The Embassy Suites MIA is very isolated - nowhere to walk, so you are stuck with the hotel restaurant (not a good way to save $$). 15
  • The bar/restaurant on site is a terrific neighborhood spot. I've never felt unsafe there at any hour. 15
Location6 mentions · 1 filmed
  • 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. 14
  • I was most excited by this hotel because it was surrounded by lots of food and Walgreens or the like were not too far to walk to. I still say it's good for that. 14
  • and i like the fact that it's convenient because right downstairs there's restaurant there's a subway that is open 24 7. On camera105:59
  • Better hotels, in a much nicer area near MIA, that may offer cruise packages with port shuttles are found in the Blue Lagoon neighborhood - Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites, etc. 15
  • Check out Courtyard Miami Airport Hotel. It is on a campus with 3 Marriott hotels in a safer area south of the airport. 15
  • The neighborhood is not walkable. If you want to just sit in a hotel that has questionable reviews...no one can stop you. But being stuck for 24 hours ? Looking for cheap in Miami, is a recipe for disaster. 15
Value3 mentions
  • I feel I got a good deal on the Courtyard and it makes my husband happy so it's all good. 15
  • I've stayed at Ramada Miami Springs. It has a restaurant on site, reasonable prices-I'd call if pub style good. 8
  • I just booked with Courtyard and I'm thrilled with the price ! 15
Room9 mentions · 3 filmed
  • 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. 14
  • The guy at the system shuttle desk back at the hotel was totally unconcerned and pretty much ignored us as we complained. 15
  • as you guys can tell by this video you guys can see that everyone's pretty clean the room was really nice it was comfortable it smells good it was just a good stay for me On camera109:23
  • ive stayed at the Ramada Miami Springs twice. It is clean, free shuttle from airport, cheap uber ride to the port, free breakfast and has a sports bar that will be open if you ant to eat or drink before hitting your bed. 3
  • On first impression it was tight. The two double beds leave barely a walking path from the door to the window and the only space to store suitcases was the entryway. 14
  • The desk clerks have always offered help getting my luggage to my room but I was able to handle a wheeled suitcase up the stairs. 3
  • My cost for a standard room (one occupant) was $101 (I think before tax) and I had a really nice, spacious room on the third or fourth floor overlooking the airport. 8
  • overall i give it to 10 out of 10 for cleanliness turn off the skin for ambience 1000 for the bed turn on the time for everything On camera109:37
  • the rooms now were amazing i actually did not expect the room to look this good the way that i was getting i was seeing some comments underneath the actual site i was say no i don't think i want to go there they were talking about to say like it looks old and so forth and to me the hotel room was good On camera104:16
View1 mention
  • The tv offered good channels, the lighting was good, the windows overlooked the sidewalk and parking lot but had good sheers and gave lots of sunlight. 14
Noise2 mentions
  • It was also quite shocking that the hotel was lacking an elevator, which was a very unpleasant surprise given we were put on the second floor and my mother struggles quite a bit with the stairs these days. 6
  • Sounds exactly like what you are looking for. There are NO ELEVATORS so consider this with luggage. 3
Bathroom3 mentions · 1 filmed
  • 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. 14
  • 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. 14
