Pros: they had room available
Cons: dirty, poor service, poor in room facility, unhelpful staff (dirty night staff)
The Bottom Line: Avoid this hotel at all cost and go elsewhere in downtown Miami as other hotels would offer better facilities and service.

| silwood's Full Review: Comfort Inn Huntingdon |
Recent visit to Guatemala and Miami gave me the opportunity to stay at this chain (CLarion suites / Hotels) for the first time... A tale of two hotels at opposite ends of the spectrum! I will concentrate onthe Miami hotel for this review and look at the guatemala hotel in that review!
Reason for stay: Long delay on getting into Miami meant i missed my connection to Raeligh.
Reason for choosing this hotel: I had a reservation a few days later at this hotel and as i was wanting a decent room headed to this hotel as i had the contact details on me and had stayed at thier Guatemala city hotel the days before with a good results
Making the reservation: Very quick - over the phone to make sure rooms available and took taxi!
First impressions: not good, dirty entrance and reception with grubby furnature and poor service from receptionist. Arrived at 8pm and the hotel was empty - not a good first impresion. The guy on reception was not at all helpful, dirty and unclean himself - not what i waould put on if i were a manager of a hotel chain. Unwilling to help with my bags (5 of them) and no trolly for me to puch myself. no restaurant available and no room service.
Room: Dirty and unclean after previous hotel experince with this chain. Noise from water/electric somewhere meant if i had not taken by ear plugs i would not have slept! The in room facilities were not great - and the bed was uncomfortable! I have stayed in many a hotel bu thtis was the worst for along time! I was tired and in need of sleep so i went straig to bed! double locked the doors and did feel relately secure!
Check out - as check in, unhelpful staff, brusk service and about on par with the hotel ecperience from the night before!
Cost $80 for the night
Did i stay at this hotel for my booked stay 3 days later? did i hell! This is one hotel that i would avoid like the plague - shame really as thier hotel in Guatemala was really very good. There are plenty of other down town hotels available in Miami and i would imagine that they are all better than this for a similar price!
