I try to stay at Hilton Garden Inn when I travel for business. Tripadvisor rated this hotel good. The location was poor with no place to go locally in what did not seem to be a safe neighborhood. The carpeting in my room was horrible. The worst I have ever seen at a Hilton Garden or any hotel I have stayed in over the past few years. Really surprised since I recommend Hilton Garden Inns overall. I will never stay here again uch better choices in the area at equal rates. Staff was nice perhaps just a bad room?

At long last I have found a Miami airport hotel which I am happy to stay at again which is also good value for money. The only reason four stars is 1) No porter available to help with luggage. 2) No safe in room 3) Failure to give booked morning alarm call.
BUT the good points:- Bedroom was clean, amazingly restful bed, well fitted out and it smelt clean. The efficiency area within the room was also convenient and unobtrusive comprising of microwave, fridge and coffee maker. The food one could buy, within the hotel, for own use was not expensively priced. The amazing thing - the sound proofing. It was only when I went for a stroll outside that I realised that the flights into Miami Airport passed directly over the hotel. I videoed one of the evening flights as my room was on the seventh floor directly under the flight path because my friends will never believe how close the planes come but HOW QUIET it was in the room. I did not hear any noise louder than my A/c and fridge whilst in the room. I also used the gym in the hotel and whilst small compared with some other hotels it was well equipped and clean and stayed open until late. The printer in the business centre did not work, when I tried, but the helpful staff at reception rather than having me wait for a repair to be effected invited me to use their reception printer and computer without any problem.
All in all a very enjoyable evening's stay whilst waiting my flight out of MIA....and breakfast was an all you can eat type and I recall about $11...good value.
Complimentary airport shuttle is every 45 mins and on time.
As I started by saying I have no hesitation in returning to Miami Garden Inn, Miami Airport West when the next opportunity arises. Thanks to Colleen and reception staff...especially the lady with unusual name which I cannot for the life of me remember....bet I will as soon as I post this !!!

Myself and a friend stayed at this hotel for two nights between 10th and 12th December 2011.
We arrived at the hotel at midnight after 24 hours of travelling from the UK with two connecting flights. As you can imagine we were a little tired and just wanted to get to sleep. The hotel was less than a 10 minute drive from the airport and when we checked in the staff were very polite.
We had a double twin room and I must say it was very large and well equiped. The room had a desk, phone, large 32 inch flat screen TV with lots of channels. There was free wifi and free parking. Shower was hot, the pressure was good and the bathroom was large. The room had a microwave and a fridge.

We had an excellent night sleep, the bed had an adjustable setting from soft to firm. Due to the location near to the airport you do get a number of aircraft flying over head. But however they did not fly over at night and when they did in the day you can only just hear them. They did not disturb us in anyway.

The breakfast was a self serve buffet and was $11.95 per person. This was excellent with a good selection and we felt very satisfied after.

My only negative point would be the carpet could do with a good clean as it was a little grubby. But then a light colour carpet does show the dirt more.

Over all this is an excellent hotel if it is just for a airport stop over or for a full holiday it is well worth it. We managed to get a bargin at just £98 ($150) for the two nights for two and I have stayed in a number of3 star hotels and this is the best by far.

This is a nice hotel that is close to the Miami airport. Our room was on the 7th floor so we did hear the airplanes quite frequently. This was OK since we were only there for one night on our way to the cruise ship.

The staff here was exquisite. They arranged for free shuttle transportation to the nearest factory outlet mall. We spoke to another couple who ventured there by taxi for $25 each way. All it cost us was a $5 tip for the driver.

The front desk crew was very likable and friendly. I would stay there again
