Modern Hotel!!!

Would recommend to a friend!

Just got off a cruise and wanted to stay near the airport (flight was next morning at 7:30am). Check-in was easy about 3 ... mins! Big king size bed (think Sheraton Sweet sleeper) Comfortable!!! 46" LCD TV!!! Tons of channels. Food in the restaurant was "hotel pricey" but very good and plentiful. Wife and I ordered appetizers and entrees and desserts and it came to $100.

The service was impeccable especially since we were staying an extra night after a week-long cruise and had gotten to the ... hotel at 10am (way before check-in time). We were given a room within 1/2 hr which we used to relax by the pool. The concierge service was also top-notch in recommending places and the shuttle to the airport. My only complaints are (1) the arrangement of the room was a bit dated with the awkward room configuration but the furniture, etc. within the room was fine, (2) the restaurant was a bit on the pricey end, and (3) though there was a free shuttle, I was told via phone that it would not pick us up from the Port of Miami and I was disappointed about that.

excellent shopping centers all over, easy to drive to South Beach and enjoy a leisurely evening in Lincoln Square ( shopping, bars, restaurants, etc )

--World Traveller, Paris France Nov 1, 2009

Dining tip, Short Walk

You can take about a ten minute walk to a burger king or chinese resterant. A publix supermarket is in the same shopping plaza. Not to many people speak english it is a spanish community. The hotel offers a shuttle bus to a mall for ten dollars a person. This hotel does offer a shuttle bus to the airport leaving every thirty minutes. Cost us $35.00 to take a taxi to this hotel from the cruise ship. Not so sure I would use this hotel again I get the same kind of treatment from a marriot or quality inn. We payed $104.00 for this so called luxury hotel.

lotsatravels Nov 15, 2009

We actually stayed at the hotel two nights. One night before our cruise and one night after our cruise. The first night we ... stayed at Sofitel we were hungry but didn't know where to go. We asked the concierge at the front desk and he recommended some restaurants in the area. Once we picked a restaurant we thought he was going to call us a cab. To our surprise he had one of the staff members drop us off to the restaurant we picked. When we got there, the driver told us to give the hotel a call whenever we needed a ride back and they would come get us as well. We were all pleased and never asked how much they charged for this service. We figured we would find out when we checked out the next day. To our surprise, it was free of charge! The next night we stayed at Sofitel was when we got back from our cruise. We didn't plan our arrival very well because we didn't have any transportation when we got back from our cruise. I remembered reading in the hotel book in the room that Sofitel offered car rentals. We gave it a shot, called the hotel and asked if we could get a car delivered to us at the port. Instead, the car rental place that Sofitel got us in touch with picked us up at the port, brought us back to the rental place and said we could either return the car back at the hotel or return it back to the company and they would drive us to the airport. In the end, we saved money and they offered us convenience and peace of mind. We were really happy with the hotel and the service that they provided us.

Loved the french accents of the employee

Linda Oct 28, 2009

The employees were very welcoming at first. I'm not so sure we gave them a big enough tip, because after that they didn't ... seem to be very helpful. They put us in a non smoking room when we had reserved a smoking room, which we were told they only had four of. After making us go get our own bags out of the non smoking room they left us to sit in the lobby for an hour and a half with bags. The room was right next to something running constently making for a humming noise all day and night. Loud enough to drown out the noise from the airplanes flying directly overhead. It did seem to be an older hotel, very clean, very comfortable beds, no refidgerator in the room. No one was available to help us out with the many bags that we had. They did help us with getting our airline tickets printed out via the internet. You have to go see the conceige to do that. The dining room was very expensive and room service will bring you a burger for $16.00.

We were welcome as soon as we walked up to the hotel with smiles.The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The staff was ... very accomadating arranging for our group, 2 of the 3 rooms on the same floor. Also, they arranged transportation for the 6 of us to/from a resturant in little Haiti. The pool area was nice, but the water was a bit chilly for Miami in September. The resturant/room service was a bit pricey (oatmeal at almost $10! Wish there were more dining options near by or a free shuttle to dining hot spots. Views from the rooms were wonderful, we slept with the curtins open. I would surely stay at ANY Sofitel if they are all as wonderful as this one.

We used the hotel for an overnite stop-over prior to a very early flight out of Miami. The hotel is first class. The price ... was excellent. Airport shuttle was frequent, timely and courteous. Since we had dropped off our rental car, the hotel is pretty landlocked -- it is pretty much a "shuttle" hotel for the airport. The restaurant prices are pretty expensive. Plan ahead.

You can take about a ten minute walk to a burger king or chinese resterant. A publix supermarket is in the same shopping plaza. Not to many people speak english it is a spanish community. The hotel offers a shuttle bus to a mall for ten dollars a person. This hotel does offer a shuttle bus to the airport leaving every thirty minutes. Cost us $35.00 to take a taxi to this hotel from the cruise ship. Not so sure I would use this hotel again I get the same kind of treatment from a marriot or quality inn. We payed $104.00 for this so called luxury hotel.

Money savers tip, In Hotel

Use the free shuttle if offered ... because paying for parking where you paid to vacation at is unethical ...

Entertainment tip

Not as close to the beach as I had hoped but incredibly close to the airport.

Shopping tip, Short Drive

Remember, you will be in the center of the shopping area so plan your shopping tour by day and zone

Dining tip, Short Drive

Several resturants within one or two miles offer resonably prices quality food and service and far cheaper prices than the Sofitel.

Recreation/Attractions tip, Short Drive

Even though the location is close to most everything, be prepared to get in HIGH VOLUME TRAFFIC which can take a while to get through. If you are going to the beach, be prepared to pay to park.

Dining tip, In Hotel

the restaurant in the lower level of sofitel is good but if you want an incredible experience you need to go to the Bayside area on Biscayne Blvd downtown Miami

Nightlife tip, Short Drive

South Beach nightlife it's not less than 15 minutes away by car or taxi but maybe taking a cab there it's worth it if you consider avoiding the traffic in the area and the very hard it is to park.

Shopping tip, Short Walk

There are supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants and other stores to shop within 5 minutes walking distance from the hotel.

--Pete, Jersey City Dec 31, 2008

Nightlife tip, Short Drive

Major attractions are not near. A taxi ride of 20-25 minutes is necessary to get to any of the action in Miami and Miami Beach.

--Keith, Riverdale Dec 8, 2008

Dining tip, Short Drive

A few blocks away is a small shopping center with a Publix--can't remember the name of the center--that has the largest and most complete home store I've ever seen--the EXPO. There are also several restaurants. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Bella Capri--a intimate Italian restaurant.

--Wannelle, USA Dec 4, 2008

Shopping tip, Short Walk

Walgreens and CVC nearby in walking distance. Publix in walking distance. Starbucks in walking distance.
