We were in Miami for 3 nights to see the Mets play at the Dolphin Stadium. This hotel was excellent as a base for travelling out from Miami during the day and for the baseball in the evening. The room was clean and comfortable and had cooking facilities (if you wanted to use them) and having a refrigerator was handy.... more

We recently stayed at the Miami Lakes Marriot TownePlace Suites in a 2 bedroom suite. We were advised before we went that the hotel was undergoing a soft renovation and that was fine. I was hoping that we got one of the rooms that had just been painted and got new carpet. Alas, we did not not. Our room was... more

Not my favorite of the Marriott brands but for the price it was a pretty good value, Easy to get to, off the Palmetto Expressway, freindly staff. Not much of a breakfast just juice and breakfast bars. Room was clean and decent sized, not a new property so it shows some wear and tear. Priced about $50 less than any... more

Old, fairly clean hotel in a busy area. Scariest thing is that there are many long term guests there who hang out in the parking lot all night and a trip to your car results in catcalls and hoots from those people. TV did not get sound on many channels. Another in our group had ants everywhere. Desk notified but... more

This hotel is quite convenient. Close to the Dolphin & Palmetto freeway... quick route to the beach. We wanted have access to the tourist buzz of Miami with a sense of normal-living. The hotel is in a business area [Miami Lakes Business park is across the street] with lots of conveniences around. WinnDixie, Bank of America, Outback Steakhouse, Subway sandwhich... more

The Townplace Suites in Miami lakes looks great from the outside. The pool is small but sufficient, the only downside is that it is RIGHT outside the office, you are a spectacle to passers-by. We are staying in a two bedroom suite which is big enough, but still tiny. The biggest problem is that there is only one bathroom, one... more

We were in town for the Orange Bowl. The location of this hotel is great, only about 10 minutes from the Dolphin stadium. We were in our room less than 20 minutes from the time the game ended. Many of our friends stayed in Miami itself and had a 45 minute drive without traffic. I can't imagine when they got... more

This is a great location. One block from a high speed road. Warning: the traffic is horrible so prepare to stop without warning anywhere, as drivers don't signal or follow rules of the road, driving like maniacs without any sense of safety. Driving times to airport and beach can be very long during traffice accidents, and lengthy rush hours, any... more

I was on a business trip for approximately one month. This is a great place for long term travel as well as short term. The employees are very helpful and are very pleasant. It is a little hard to get out of the parking lot on to the main road(Miami Lake Drive), since you have to make a u-turn. The... more
