The Baymont Inn Miami Airport is a good hotel choice for people catching an early flight and who want more than just the basic comforts, but don’t have a lot of money. This hotel greets the guest by offering excellent, luxurious comfort at rock-bottom prices.
I chose this hotel because of its proximity to both the Greyhound depot and to the airport. Once I arrived in Miami by bus, I called the hotel for its free shuttle service. This was the only major problem I had with the hotel. The staff didn’t speak much English, so I had trouble getting them to send out a shuttle to the bus station. After around 5 phone calls and waiting in the bus station for over two hours, a driver finally pulled up and I was on my way to the hotel.
The hotel is of modest size, and upon entering, it doesn’t seem very nice. The lobby is sparsely furnished, and there is a mild smell of smoke lingering in the air. I immediately went onto the Internet kiosk to check my email, but the machine ate my money, which the hotel staff did end up replacing. The machine didn’t function then after, so I was stuck without email access.
The room that I reserved for $55 per night was spacious, with a very large king bed with comfy blankets, a strong, clean air conditioner, a desk, and a nice-sized bathroom. There was a good selection of television channels, and pay-per-view was available for around $9.99 per movie.
There was no morning breakfast, which disappointed me, but there was coffee. The hotel did provide a free morning USA Today, which was a nice touch. I didn’t have any real problems with my stay in the hotel itself.
The shuttle driver was available at my scheduled time, and took me to the airport with minimal hassles. Unlike other hotels I have been to, this hotel does not stop at every other hotel nearby, but promptly takes you to and from the airport in less than ten minutes.
The only downside to this location is the lack of restaurants. The only one is Bennigan’s, just across the street, which served up decent food at decent prices. There is also a restaurant at the neighbouring Embassy Suites, but this is a pricy option for budget travelers. I was able to use the Embassy Suites Internet access as a non-guest, which was around $4 for twenty minutes.
