Internet connection barely worked. I was unable to do any business online. Restaraunt was overpriced and low quality. Housekeeping came into my room even though I had the do not disturb sign up. Amenities were average.

Affordable, clean hotel right across the Highway from University of Miami. The desk was friendly and accomidating. The pool area is clean and pretty with a decent sized pool. Would definitely stay here again. I asked for late check out since our flight was late and they were more than happy to do that. Offered great directions to a few of the local attractions.
Simply the best...

An excellent staff with the added benefit of location. While I would say that my initial impression was estimated to be "satisfactory", I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was wrong. I would also say that the front desk staff were also very helpful. They went the extra mile to ensure that fresh coffee was out every morning, as well as calling for more when the pot went dry or was simply cold. Lastly, I would like to say that the bartender was also very cheerful. You could always rely on him to do the "little things" and go out of his way (and beyond his job requirements) and really made the atmosphere warm and friendly.
The only thing that would have been nice would be to have a small place to purchase snacks early on. After having informed the staff of this minor inconvenience, they are now in the process of installing such a place. This showed me that they also take customer comments very seriously, which is something that you do not see every day.
Definitely 5 stars in my book.
Nice!

The front desk staff at HI Coral Gables UMiami is extremely helpful and pleasant. When I was not prepared for the tropical downpours they insisted on providing me with an umbrella. The proximity to UMiami is excellent, although one would take their life in their trembling hands to cross U.S. Dixie Highway by foot. The hotel has become completely non-smoking, but my room still had a slight residual odor of cigarettes. The hallway carpets and general decor appear a little dated and the worse for wear, but the rooms were adequate and comfortable. I did not order any food from Room Service or dine in their restaurants due to the proximity of better options. My general feeling was that one stays at this hotel to be close to the offspring over at UMiami!
