BEST WESTERN PLUS MIAMI INTL AIRPORT HOTEL & SUITES CORAL GABLES, Miami

The hotel sits on a major road, which provides quick access to the airport, cruise port, and downtown Miami, but also means street noise can be audible in rooms. A free trolley stop nearby connects directly to Coral Gables restaurants and shops. A supermarket is a block away, and multiple fast-food and casual dining options are within walking distance. The area is practical for a transit or pre-cruise stay, though walking beyond the immediate block is limited.

Accommodation ranges from double rooms and quadruple rooms to suites with separate seating areas and sofas. Beds are typically comfortable, and many rooms are described as large. However, noise isolation is poor: street traffic, hallway sounds, and stairwell noise carry into rooms. Some rooms may have dated finishes, mold in shower curtains, or musty smells. Road-facing rooms are particularly prone to traffic noise. A number of rooms have been recently remodeled, but others show signs of wear. All rooms have a private bathroom with a shower; some accessible rooms feature a roll-in shower. Upper-floor rooms can offer good city views.

Breakfast is a paid option at $15 per person and includes a continental buffet. The restaurant also serves dinner, with a menu that includes gluten-free options. Room service operates from 5:30 PM to 10:30 PM. The lobby offers complimentary coffee and tea 24/7. For additional variety, several fast-food restaurants and a supermarket are within a 5-minute walk.

The outdoor pool is set in a quiet, well-kept area but sits in the building's shade, making the water cooler. The pool is open from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The fitness center provides free access. A golf course (International Links Miami) is 3 km away for an additional charge.

The hotel offers a free airport shuttle running from 3:30 PM to 10:30 PM, and a third-party port shuttle for $12 per person (pickup times at 10 AM, 10:30 AM, 11:30 AM, and 12:20 PM). A business center with free wired and wireless internet is available, along with meeting/banquet facilities for an additional charge. Guest laundry is on-site. Safety includes 24-hour CCTV, key card access, and safety deposit boxes. The property has a lift, but one elevator has been reported as frequently out of service.
