I was a bit concerned about booking a month-long stay here when I read some of the previous reviews. However, now that I'm here, I can say that my worries were unfounded. The front desk staff have been friendly and helpful. The room is as expected in an extended stay property, and is clean and in good shape. I have a non-smoking room, but noticed a cigarette smell in the bathroom. The smell seemed to be coming from an unused vent in the ceiling, so I covered it and the smell stopped. The cable has a good selection of stations, including Fox and ABC, which a previous reviewer said they didn't have. I needed extra hangers and a staff member was kind enough to deliver an extra dozen immediately to my room. They have high-speed WIFI for a small one-time fee and I've had no problems with it.
Although some reviewers have complained about the noise from planes coming into Miami Airport, not many actually fly above the hotel. If you have on the AC/heating unit, you rarely hear anything from outside the room. I'm in a second-floor room away from 87th Ave, a busy street, so I don't get any street noise. There is street construction going on in front of the hotel and the trucks stage next to it, so there is some noise from those trucks, but not usually before 7am.
I love having the park next door! It's easily accessed from the hotel and provides a nice place to walk in the mornings, with a 1-mile paved path around a small lake.
There are a few restaurants within walking distance, but you have to stay on the west side of 87th, as there are no crosswalks for some distance in either direction of the hotel. Tony Roma's is next door, Mondongo's a half-block away, and a strip center with Dunkin' Donuts, Quizno's, etc. is on the other side of the park. There are quite a few eateries up and down 87th, as well.
