Hotels near Center for Visual Communication, Miami

Had a horrible experience a couple of blocks away at some trashy place… But not only was this hotel the exact opposite of that, but they ACTUALLY got me in the vacation mood right back again. Luis the manager was nothing but a knowledgeable young man of the area and his hospitality is what got me to give this a shot. 10/10

Our excellent experience at the Tru began before we even arrived. Julissa and Dia both assisted in making sure that our accommodations for the week were just what we needed. Upon arrival everyone was courteous and eager to let us know that they were there to help in any way. Our room had a wonderful view of the pool, Biscayne Bay in the distance, and downtown Miami. Speaking of the room, it was the perfect size for us, with a comfortable king bed, large tv, and clean throughout (and kept well clean during our 1-week stay by housekeeping team). We very much appreciated the complimentary hot breakfast, and what made the breakfast especially tasty and fresh were the number of hotel team members making sure that all food options were available (e.g. eggs, bagels, english muffins, fruit, and coffee ALL restocked as needed throughout the breakfast service.) The pool was my favorite place to relax during the day. Ample towels and umbrellas were available, pool deck was kept clean, and the pool water was clean, cool, and refreshing. In summary between the lovely room accommodations, outstanding complimentary breakfast, great loaction (just a short walk from Brickell center), relaxing pool area, and most of all, the highly professional and courteous hotel team - from leadership across all levels - the Tru is an exceptional value for short or long stays in Miami.

Overall experience here was great. The service was good. Staff was very friendly and helpful. But the breakfast was mild, the selection of the food was quite average. However, the location here is very close to the airport, approximately 15 minutes drive from the airport. I would recommend for someone who has to layover for a night.

Stayed here on an over night lay over with my family of four (two adults, two older teens). After a delayed arrival at around 7:30pm, all we wanted to do was get to our hotel. Waited for 10 minutes no shuttle. Called the hotel, told them where we were standing and was instructed to move to pick up station 7 and shuttle would be on the way. 20 minutes later. No shuttle. Called again and same front desk employee told me ”I don't know what to tell you, he's on the way should be there in less than 10 minutes. Just as we were about to give up and take a cab, along came the shuttle. Driver was nice, I”m guessing busy doing something else when we needed him to pick us up. Here is your pro tip: 1: Don't assume the shuttle runs non stop. It doesn't. 2: Call the hotel and make sure its on the way. 3. If you have an early AM flight, don't stay here unless you want to UBER or Cab to the airport. The shuttle does not start running to the airport until 7AM. Our flight left at 7:30, so a 12 dollar UBER it was. The rest of our experience was fine. This is nice property. Had the two bedroom unit and had great space for our family. Used the washer and dryer on second floor (bring your quarters 1.75 per wash, 1.00 per dry). They have a full service bar that stays open until 9pm. Until they improve their Airport shuttle service (remember, they are an AIRPORT HOTEL). I would stay someplace else.

The hotel is decent but there were ssues with the bar and restaurant. When we booked our reservation we read that breakfast is included or you can pay to have breakfast included. But it isn't. In fact, when we arrived at breakfast the buffet wasn't set up. There wasn't even any coffee. When we spoke with the server he said that this was due to COVID. However, if you read the reviews from other guest you will see that they had a buffet available during the pandemic. The staff members in the restaurant and at the bar were not friendly. I recommend that management improving the working conditions of their employees. Happy employees equals happy customers.

Do NOT stay here if you have an early flight and want to enjoy breakfast. We tried to go to breakfast at the Coral Cafe at 6:00 am only to find out that breakfast doesn't open until 6:30 am. I stood by the hostess because it said wait to be seated and she just looked at me rudely and said, ”uhhh...? Do you need something or...” I replied, ”Yes, I wanted to get breakfast.” She responded rudely, ”Well, it doesn't even open until 6:30 so you're gonna have to wait.” We are diamond members and we tried to use our food and beverage credit to grab something quickly. We only had 5 minutes to eat so we couldn't sit down and eat. We only wanted a croissant that we were willing to pay $15 for and It was literally just sitting at the buffet to grab easily. The hostess was so freaking rude and argued with me and embarrassed me in front of everyone. She said I had to sit down and wait to be served. We had already waited 30 minutes for her to tell us this. She told us to go to Starbucks instead. I informed her that I wanted to use my food and beverage credit and she said, ”oh well. I don't know if it works there, but you'll just have to go there because that's you're only option. I can't give you a croissant here. You have to sit down and wait to be served.” Pretty ridiculous that I couldn't buy something to go. They also charged us $18 for our Turo to be parked in the parking lot for only a couple hours while it was waiting to be picked up! We didn't even have the car parked over night. Also, I NEVER received a receipt after checkout which is not normal for Hilton. I had to find the receipt online via the app. Will never stay here again! Super rude and terrible customer service! I have stayed at many Hiltons all over the world, but I have never been treated so poorly!

Our service at the beach was wonderful! Alejandra was an excellent server. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. They have great lounge chairs and umbrellas. You can rent larger lounge chairs and cabanas for the day, too. It was easy to access the beach directly from the Fontainebleau property.

We were only in our room for about 7 hours. Just used it to catch a few hours of sleep before our trip to Ecuador early the next morning. The hotel looks renovated except for the room doors. For some reason they left the old doors while they renovated the rest of the hotel and the doors serve as a reminder that this place is old. Bad call by who ever made that decision. The room itself is a decent size, has a comfortable bed, and a newish looking bathroom. For the price I would stay here again if I had another overnight layover at MIA.

Harry the bell captain and the entire staff were incredible!!! The food was amazing and we had a room with a balcony overlooking the water, beautiful. Staying at a kosher hotel made and having shabbas dinnet and lunch and also having the schul all in one place made it an incredible 25th wedding anniversary!

The hotel is well located, close to the airport and relatively close to shopping and Miami. Good lobby staff, cleanliness, comfort, very good hotel. The waitresses at the bar are not very friendly but nothing that makes you have a good time enjoying a drink or eating.
