2 reviews for Homewood Suites Miami-Airport/Blue Lagoon
Ideal for business travelers and families-on-the go, Homewood Suites offers bang for buck: roomy suites, kitchen, real tv channels, highway access, and computer center.
My BF and I stayed here for a few days on his corporate account. Yes, it's literally across from the Miami International Airport -- and yes, it does seem like a white-bread, Extended Stays type of place. However, Homewood Suites does make an effort to make you feel at "home."
Nice touches like an equipped kitchen -- popcorn propped near the microwave for late night snacks -- to free breakfasts/dinners in the lobby makes things convenient. The computer-room made printing boarding tickets a snap. You get real TV channels -- comedy central, MTV, VH-1, and HBO that you don't get elsewhere at other corporate hotels (I'm looking at you Hilton!). The beds are extremely comfortable.
FYI: I couldn't find wi-fi access here so it's ethernet access provided by the hotel.
The lobby also has an excellent fish tank where you can have fun locating the Finding Nemo fishies. In the back, the Blue Lagoon lake has huge fish that you can feed which is popular with the kiddies I saw there.
The area is dead. The only things around are corporate buildings: Burger King, HP, etc. but the hotel does make an effort to not be too bland.

The suite is large, quiet and comfortable at a very reasonable price. My suite had four rooms: bedroom with TV, toilet/shower, sink/mirror, kitchen/living room. While there may be no wireless access, the free ethernet connection on the desk at the living room was fine for me. So the place is bland--I like it as a comfortable place to wind down, sleep, or stay up late taking care of business online if needed. When I need culture, food, architecture, etc., I go out.
