Courtyard by Marriott Miami Airport

SoulEdge: Urban Cowboy Marriott International proudly presents.. Courtyard by Miami Airport. I've always wanted to say that. Arrived in Aug 2026. Nice looking corporate hotel. Btw I'm not bashing other establishments. Check-in was smooth, kudos to Cece at the front desk. Enclosed are pics of the blanket set to setup the sofa bed. The hotel shuttle bus serves the Main Marriott Airport Hotel, The Courtyard Hotel, & The Residence Inn. Dining at Champions, well that's for another review. Food was superb, yet service in the afternoon could have been better. Mind you I'm a guest dining minding my own business. Not to be an employee's scapegoat. More on that later. Grab a burger from the Marriott Airport Hotel, kudos to Miguel. Check-out was good. Getting back from recovery. I do recommend the gym. Visit dedicated to my then German American ex girlfriend who looks like Lagertha from a vikings tv show. I cannot confirm or deny she worked in the hotel biz. I can imagine her as a blonde Wonder Woman. Cue in the song "Themyscira" by Hans Zimmer & song Ain’t In Kansas Anymore by Miranda Lambert ‧ 🇩🇪🇺🇸🎸

I ended up staying at this location twice while I was on vacation, and unfortunately, both experiences were disappointing. The first night, I initially went to the wrong hotel. The Marriott in front is beautiful, upscale, and has valet service. When they told me I was at the wrong location, they directed me around to the back and essentially told me, “Good luck.” At that point, I had a feeling the experience was going to go downhill. When I arrived at the correct location, there were no luggage carts, no valet, and the property felt very basic. The room itself was okay, but the couch was absolutely filthy. It was so dirty that it made my skin crawl. I wouldn't even sit on it. Honestly, I would hate to see what that couch would look like under a black light. It belongs in the dumpster, not in a hotel room. Initially, I decided not to write a review. However, I later returned and stayed in a different room at the same location, only to discover that the couch in that room was also dirty and nasty. That's when I realized this wasn't an isolated issue. I reported the condition of the rooms to Guest Services. I also pointed out that the bottom portions of the bed frames were filthy. Unfortunately, no one offered a credit, compensation, a room cleaning, or any other meaningful resolution. I was simply told that the property would be remodeled within a year. A future remodel does nothing to address the condition of the rooms today. Guests shouldn't have to wait a year for basic cleanliness and proper maintenance. After staying in two different rooms and finding the same cleanliness issues, I felt it was important to share my experience. The condition of the furniture and lack of response from Guest Services were the biggest disappointments of my stay.

Nice hotel and airport shuttle was fast and convenient
