My stay in Holiday Inn was amazing. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The room, gym, pool area and all social places are super clean and comfortable. The breakfast is delicious with many options. Thank you for everybody, specially to Neilly, Shadai and Charolaine! You’re so kind!
Great place to stay on our waybto Key West. Desk Clerk was friendly and helpful.
Stayed 3 nights. Staff was very pleasant and attentive. I enjoyed my stay and will return if need to. Would of given 5 stars, but one elevator was very slow and found myself waiting a long time. The other elevator was not working at the time. However the elevator problem would not be a problem once fixed . Great breakfast a plus. Shaddai at the front desk was friendly and very helpful.
I got a room with a jacuzzi and it didnt really work to well, also the toilet was having a hard time flushing. Room was clean and tidy and other than that it was a great stay!
Great hotel – highly recommended! My stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miami-Kendall was excellent. The staff was very friendly and professional. The room was clean, modern, and very comfortable. I especially liked the cozy bed and the quiet atmosphere in the hotel. The pool area was well-maintained and perfect for relaxing. The breakfast was varied and tasty – exactly what you need to start the day right. The location is ideal if you’re in the area – everything is easy to reach, yet the hotel is in a peaceful setting. I would gladly stay here again!
Nice quiet hotel. Security guard out front at night. Front desk was polite and gave us some water when we had to check out early and couldn't wait for the line of people. Elevator inspection was expired as of late March 2025. Price was crazy, probably because it's Miami.
This modern hotel is a 21.1-mile drive from downtown and across the street from Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport.
