USA Hotel Rooms

A one night stay in Miami and I did not want to spend to much money. I was looking for a good location close to the airport as I was coming in from Orlando by car. The Holiday Inn Express in Hilaeah was a perfect choice. I booked it over the internet from the IHG site as usual. While they had some construction going and 826 highway was right next to the Miami hotel I had no noise to complain about. The heating and aircon worked fine. It's one of the more basic hotels that offer a decent bed at a perfect strategic location for travelers with a car. The bathroom is a bit small and the rooms just have one window, so it's more of a transit hotel than a vacation paradise. I included information about their internet connectivity speed inside the hotel rooms in the full post.

Ample parking in front of the Holiday Inn Express in Hialeah Miami. The hotel is located next to 826 highway approximately 20 minutes by car to Miami International airport

Another view of the building and the large parking lot

Views of the bedroom. The chair at the desk is a real office chair. Good if you need to work on your laptop for awhile.

Their standard fees as diplayed inside the rooms are not competitive. I booked over the internet and received a much lower price at 99$ a night.

Closet and bathroom are very basic.
