Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miami Airport East

It was just an overnight stay before heading on a cruise. Everything was great.

The only problem is the constant airplane noise as the hotel sits right off the runway. Otherwise superb service and attention. Great rooms.

I love these new, modern Holiday Inn Express & Suites hotels! I made sure to look through the photos so I knew it was an updated/newer hotel. Great parking out front, brightly lit at night, cost of parking is around $12, gas station right next door. This hotel is right across the street from the American Airlines terminal at the Miami International Airport, easy to get from the hotel to downtown or wherever you need to go, toll pass (epass) recommended for travel around Miami. The sounds of the airplanes taking off is quite soothing inside the room but pretty loud outside. I did enjoy watching the planes taking off from my room though, cool perk! Check in was easy, the staff was calm and pleasant. I checked in about 1pm and within in minutes I was headed up to my room. I absolutely love these new, modern rooms! Everything in the room feels really smart. All kinds of plugs-ins by the TV, speaker to plug phone into. Nice glass stand up shower. The room is very environmentally friendly, the rooms power will not turn on unless your hotel card is in a slot by the door on the interior as well as the shower gels are in dispensers inside the shower to prevent waste. Overall I had a fine stay the only issue was checking out, the hotel charged me for the room even though I had already paid on hotels.com and they were telling me to call my bank (wtf). After 15-20 mins they took my info and said they would handle it by the end of the day and they did. The double charge was corrected.

Very convenient to port of miami and airport.

It’s a convenient location really close to the airport. Shuttle runs every 30minutes on the hour. There is no restaurant so you are stuck with TV dinners sold downstairs. Check in and check out can take awhile as there was only one front desk staff who then is answering questions on places to eat, maps etc plus food purchases when all you want to do is just check in as you wait in line. It was very annoying to wait. The room was clean and nice. The pool isn’t anything fantastic but still had a great dip. You hear airplanes every few minutes. My travel buddy complained but I personally wasn’t bothered by them. Some staff weren’t that great at English and were more comfortable in Spanish but they we’re very pleasant. The gym had a smell like a cleaner of some sort, I wouldn’t have been able to work out.
