Courtyard by Marriott Miami Dadeland, Miami

The hotel was satisfactory. The sofa bed was smaller than expected. I requested the sofa bed be made before we arrived it was not done and they did not care to do it .

It was ok. Hotel is dated. Valet was backed up. It was ok, but not really up to my standards.

Attention odor-sensitive guests: I cannot stand the new trend in stupid air fresheners used for branding and covering up unwanted odors-- I am sensitive to these persistent, artificial smells and literally cannot sleep with them or Febreeze, etc. This hotel was responsive to my pre-check in request to NOT place air-fresheners or sprays in my room, and they explained to me exactly what would be left out (they even conferred with housekeeping about it to give me a precise answer). Also, the door of the balcony was able to be opened. This made my stay fragrance-free as requested. Everyone at the hotel had a professional attitude and it is walking distance to Dadeland Mall if you need something or want to get a quick, cheap bite to eat.

Accommodations were comfortable and service was good. Price for parking seemed a bit steep for the Kendall area.

Great location. Found a little carelessness in housekeeping details, like not leaving enough towels, no shampoo, no change od glasses, but overall a comfortable, quiet ( loved this) hotel with easy access to shopping and restaurants.
