Hotels near Freedom Tower at Miami Dade College in Miami

Had a horrible experience a couple of blocks away at some trashy place… But not only was this hotel the exact opposite of that, but they ACTUALLY got me in the vacation mood right back again. Luis the manager was nothing but a knowledgeable young man of the area and his hospitality is what got me to give this a shot. 10/10

Amazing hotel. Affordable. Would totally comeback again anytime soon. I recommend it 100%. Pool is impressive and gym it’s amazing. Location is good you’re close to everything. Walking distance from bars and rests.

Work and fun bundled with a great location is the best recipe for a working mini vacation. From start to finish, we were greeted with smiles and friendly service. The food at our conference was delicious!!! Every area we visited/used in the facility were clean. Some of the furniture in our rooms was a bit worn, but honestly it is to be expected. We will definitely return and plan to stay a bit longer since it is so close to other places we wanted to see while in Miami.

Good hotel, spacious room (there were four of us and we were very well accommodated), functional, friendly and efficient service (a highlight for Alexa). Standard American breakfast, good but not excellent. Opposite the International Mall and about a 7-minute drive from Dolphin Mall (USD8 by Uber). A very positive point was that they kept our bags while we were on our cruise. I recommend.

The location is excellent. Next door to the people mover, Freedom Tower, a 3-5 minute walk to Kaseya Center and Bayside Marketplace, and 5 minute drive to PortMiami. The location doesn’t get much better for downtown Miami. Checkin was odd and hostile—the employees didn’t seem to accept mobile checkin despite the app pushing it. They almost acted like I was the first person to use it. The room was small but expected, and packed with some cool technology. I appreciated the free welcome drink, aluminum bottled water and tote bag. The bed was horrific. The worst sleep I’ve ever had in a hotel. It was hard as a rock (I like firm mattresses but this took the cake). I barely slept and woke up numb at times. The drawers under the bed also creaked with every movement made. It was awful. Outside noise wasn’t terrible at the 9th floor, just occasional sirens or motors revving. Room was clean, and was exactly what I expected. If you haven’t looked into them, it’s about the size of a cruise ship cabin and the bed takes the entire width of the room. It’s a cool and different concept. I paid the extra $19.95 for breakfast and it was a letdown—literally just three warm items and then granolas. The fresh fruit and pastries weren’t available. I would pass on this and save the money. The hotels vibes and bars were cool, and definitely made up for some of the shortfalls, but for the bed alone I don’t think I’ll be back.

We were on our way to South America and spent 1 night at this hotel. At check-In Hugo greeted us with a warm smile and he exhibited efficiency and professionalism which caught our attention and thorough pleased us. We rented a car and while on the way back, there was a detour which caused our gps system to go crazy. We called Hugo and he led us back from 20 mins away. Once we got back, he greeted us like family. The rooms were comfortable and the beds allowed us to sleep soundly. The room was very clean. The business center was very useful to us. If you don’t feel like being super close to the airport or downtown, this is the place for you - you will not regret your stay.

Stayed here 2 nights post cruise and we simply loved it--5 min walk from the beautiful Brickell shopping center. The best part of this hotel is the pool area without a doubt--its stunning with great service and a gorgeous pool where children are most welcome. The main lobby bar is a slight let down for us and looks a little dated but still nice. Rooms again are nice but in comparison with other 5 star properties in Miami are showing signs of age. Breakfast however in Le Mar is spectacular with simply beautiful food and if you eat outdoors the views are magnificent.

In my first stay I had been in tenth floor which is more better and newer but my second stay they gave me a room in fourth floor which is aged and old and no refrigerator or microwave inside . I didn’t like it but as a whole the hotel is Ok , staff at the reception need to be more friendly and smile to visitors. Some of them they don’t even answer a complete answer . It’s all about the location , location , location in the heart of the downtown where you can go all around at day but at night alot of homeless around the area . As it was OK . Don’t forget to bring your water with you .

After I canceled my reservation at 1 hotel, because a bad experience, I found out a gem in Miami Beach ! First time in Faena but for sure not the last, very warm welcome and smooth check in. I went downstairs to explore, and for a quick breakfast and our waitress, Diana, was extremely welcoming and accommodating; we had a beautiful table with pool views, and Diana gave us very good recommendations. Service was perfect, she is charming. Very nice staff with a good vibe, all around. We are DEFINITELY coming back !!! Thank you Faena team for a memorable stay !!!!

Great place to stay at Miami Beach, close to the Beach and all sorts of places. They also have daily events like drawing or volleyball. The staff is superfriendly and always tries to help. Free cooled water and coffee is also included. They have two fridges and a microwave for food. I really enjoyed my stay at the place and would definitely recommend it!
