never again

This hotel is not even one star, internet didnt work in the room, carpet dirty, balcony dont even bother to open it staff oh, big time attitude , like this guy who checked us in was acting like he paid for our room, you ask him he never look or answer you. Lazy staff, with bad attitude I stayed one night there and it was a night mare rooms are connected with a door you can hear everything next room. Breakfast is a joke I mean really a joke, if it wasnt for the game in sun life stadium wouldnt even bother to get in to the hotel, and I paid $9 for amenities that I never got like the stupid intertnet that never worked.

Satisfied customer

Overall the experience was excellent. I think they should start a rewards program for frequent customers. Also, they can be a bit pricey at times. I would recommend them to my friends. The only I didn't like was the smell in the highway. It smelt a little like wet carpet.

Needs TLC

We went to Sun Life Stadium to see Paul McCartney for our Anniversary. Hotel is very old and needs better upkeep. Smells old, carpets need cleaned. Fixtures need to be changed. This was boarder line 3 stars maybe should be more like a 2 or 2 1/2 stars. Would have liked something better for our Anniversary. The only good part was the staff was very very nice.

A respite, not too close to the beach

When we arrived at the hotel we arrived at 4pm, one hour after the official check in time. When we attempted to check in the room was not ready yet so we decided to go down the road and get some things at Wal-Mart and get a hair-cut and something to eat. After about two more hours we came back and the receptionist told us the room was ready. We went to the room to find the sheets all over the floor, the bathroom dirty, and the trashcans full. After a call to the front dest the room was cleaned within the next half hour. This didnt' annoy us too much but I definatly know some people who would have found this very irratating. Other than this gaff the hotel was great for everything we wanted it for. It was quiet and the staff was very unintrusive. I would have liked to keep the sliding door open for fresh air however we sat over the high way it it was much too noisy to enjoy the Florida air. The beds are super comfortable and I slept very well..

Shopping tip: Short drive from hotel

There is a strip mall right around the corner from the hotel and this is great for picking up all the things you cant fit into your carry-on or bring onto the plane.

unexpected

The name was unfamiliar to me, so my expectations were a little low. It was a quick trip, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a hotel that I would rarely be in. I heard about it from someone else who stayed there, and they said it was not bad. I took a chance and was surprised how clean and nice it was. The only things that through me off was the decor in lobby ( a little out dated), charge for usage of internet, charge for usage of safe, and they did not have room service to come to your room if you need towels; you had to get them yourself. Other then that the stay was ok. I would only stay there for quick weekend trip.

El Palacio

Check in was very slow, with a small front desk. Staff was courteous but very busy. Room was a bit frayed, needs some upgrading. Electrical outlets were loose in the wall boxes, this was very alarming. Very limited breakfast service (cereal, danish, juice) in one of the smallest rooms I have ever seen. Only 2-3 tables for sitting, we had to take everything back to the room. Not a bad hotel, it's fairly easy to get to from Turnpike or I-75, though not very convenient to downtown if that is your destination.

Perfect for what we needed~

The staff was helpful and the location was perfect for heading to the Pro Bowl. We were looking for a hotel that was inexpensive, but still decent. We stayed in a corner king suite for 6 days. The rooms and hotel are a bit dated, but excellent for the price. If you're looking for 4 star service then pay for it at the beach...If you are going to the stadium then this is ideal. We would stay there again!

Sightseeing tip: Long walk from hotel

Sun Life Stadium is within walking distance or a $10 cab ride w/tip from the hotel. I recommend the $15 stadium tour (buy tix at the stadium so you don't pay the crazy ticket master fees). We got an inside look at the locker rooms, club suites and even got to go down to the field. If you're a Dolphin fan then it's AWESOME!
