Residence Inn By Marriott Miami Coconut Grove

very nice hotel with studios. The staff at the front desk is a bit, let's say, not too friendly. But overall we were very satisfied. Especially when you want to travel with dogs. They accept them in every room and do not have any problems. Just let the room service know that there is a dog when you are not there. Could be they do not clean up then but that's absolutely ok. \r With Uber you are with 17$ in Beach and the next grocery store (Publix) is about 1.5 miles away. \r Around the corner is a small nice shopping mal with good restaurants. They also all allow dogs outside. more

When in the greater Miami area, my first recomendation is to stay at one of the small boutique hotels like the Clinton or the Chesterfield... but when on business at the Port-of-Miami, you might be better off right here at the Marriott Residence Inn. The place is very nice and te maids are fantastic. The rooms are typical of the chain in that they're all more like apartments than hotel rooms, complete with fully equipped kitchens. There is a small pool and BBQ area where they have happy hour with free hot dogs and burgers between about 5-7PM, and breakfast is free in the morning from 6-10(ish). Not gourmet fare by any means... but free is free and it's edible. The best thing is the free broadband Internet access in every room. It's fast and easy and I've experienced zero glitches with it. So, if yu're coming to this area on vacation, opt for a small beachy place, but if awaiting your cruise or on business.. this is your spot. 4 stars. PROS: Clean, good location CONS: well, it's a more
