Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “The wait was also quite long when calling the front desk even though occupancy was low. In fairness, it's likely that the pandemic forced the hotel to reduce staffing.” 15
- “Very nice staff, good breakfast, lots of kids around going for cruise, with valet park only, pool, and large lobby.” 2

- “I really like the brand just understand what you are getting - solid room (appreciate the LVT flooring), breakfast functions for what it is, staff was friendly.” 12
- “The Sebel Hawkesbury was excellent. Great friendly staff and excellent rooms. 11/10 Highly recommend this Hotel” 3
- “Grand Hyatt hotel has met our expectations. Our flight was very late and they allowed us to have late check out at 4 pm without extra charges.” 3
- “Hassan who is a manager at the Tru Hotel does not exude good customer service. He is very rude and talks over you when you are trying to speak. He was not helpful at all and it saddens me that he is one of the representatives of the of this multi million dollar company.” 12
- “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 camera171:09
- “Check in went smoothly and arrived at a comfortable clean room for the night before our cruise.” 2
- “Receptionist were friendly and helpful for most of part my time there. Facilitated us taxi and share ride to the port of Miami. Excellent customer service.” 3
- “All of the staff members I interacted with at the hotel were friendly, but there were some service hiccups. For instance, I requested housekeeping (currently only available by request) one day, but they never came.” 15
- “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.” 11
- “All of the staff members I interacted with at the hotel were friendly, but there were some service hiccups.” 15
- “the complimentary breakfast has received mixed reviews some love the selection While others think it resembles a School cafeteria menu rating 6 out of 10” On camera170:59

- “My sister forgot her charger for her Fitbit Versa 4, & we were able to find one that could be delivered overnight. They have this funky pancake maker rather than a waffle machine at the breakfast. Sister tried it & sad the first one is not cooked all the way, but the second one was OK.” 16
- “Only downside there aren't really restaurants in walking distance so we eat at the hotel restaurant. I think it is pricey, but it is no more so than other area restaurants.” 19
- “The hotel also a strong disinfectant smell that I did not like. It is newer, so that was a plus. And there is a nice complimentary breakfast area upstairs.” 1
- “they even provide a microwave and paper plates which is super convenient so if you go out to dinner you have somewhere to microwave your leftovers” On camera142:02
- “I just stayed in the Hampton Inn in the Brickel district in January 24. It is in a nice area with lots of restaurants, CVS, and grocery stores nearby. They also have a decent breakfast in the morning.” 1
- “The hotel's main restaurant, Addikt, was located on the 15th floor by the pool. Due to the pandemic, it was only open from Thursday through Sunday. In-room dining was also limited to these days only. It offered great views from both inside and the socially distanced outdoor patio.” 15

- “The room was light and airy, directly opposite is a BP petrol station, they sell plug adapters, power banks, alcohol.” 2
- “The only drawback is that the street noise can be on the loud side. My last trip there were a lot of cars revving their engines in streets and it reverberates between the buildings. Not a big deal but just a distraction.” 1
- “Luckily, noise wasn't much of an issue when the balcony door was closed.” 15

- “Great location - good value hotel in Miami.” 2
- “You get me. That hotel was located almost on an alley type street. It wasn't an alley, but looked like one. Then, to get to the main Brickell area, you have to walk through this underpass thing. Not really my scene.” 1
- “The brickell area also has a number of quite decent hotels and they are close to the metromover. We really enjoyed the Hampton inn Miami Beach...it was close enough to the beach we didn't need to have a car and there were tons of restaurants!” 19
- “This hotel is not in "Brickell" the location is not horrible, but you around a 10-15 min walk to anything that a local would consider being Brickell when talking about places to eat and see.” 8
- “The only drawback to that Tru from what I can tell is location wise, it's located on the other side of 95 from where the Hampton is and there doesn't seem to be a lot of the dining or nightlife spots immediately walkable.” 1
- “I just stayed in the Hampton Inn in the Brickel district in January 24. It is in a nice area with lots of restaurants, CVS, and grocery stores nearby.” 1

- “Clean and good price/quality. Friendly at check/in and breakfast” 3
- “I've stayed in several Tru by Hilton locations. The rooms are small, the amenities are sparse, the price is relatively cheap. Four people in the rooms I've used might be pushing it for me...” 8
- “now let's discuss value for money with prices averaging around $120 a night it's not the cheapest in Miami but considering the location it's somewhat reasonable just keep in mind it might not feel like a luxurious getaway rating 6 out of 10” On camera171:22
- “Another perk of staying in Brickell: The W Miami doesn't charge a resort fee like the hotels on the beach do.” 15
- “Not a big deal at all for one night and I'd take one of those over the premium that the Hampton Inn Brickell wants to charge for rooms.” 1
- “Room are functional and rates are cheap depending on the season - my King Room was $90 for one night.” 2
