Excellent location. Stayed here for a long weekend. Wanted a walkable neighborhood, and this was a great choice. Easy commute from Miami airport on the 37 bus. An easy walk to loads of restaurants and bakeries, the Publix, Walgreen's, Books and Books, the restaurant row on Giralda Ave. and the great coffee at Pacion del Cielo Coffee. Plus, the free Coral Gables Trolley up and down the Ponce de Leon was wonderful.||The entrance and lobby are basic, as are the rooms. But when I expected the floors to be cold and slightly dirty/dusty, they were actually very nice underfoot and very clean. The windows could be cracked open for fresh air. The linens and towels were all very clean, as was the kitchenette.||The hallways were quiet, though the doors are quite loud when they close. Fortunately, I had quiet neighbors.||As a solo traveller, the doors had a deadbolt and flip bar lock, which helped me, at least, feel somewhat more secure. Though, I also use other door security options. The immediate neighborhood, and entrance in/out felt safe, though I was never out after dark. I felt the neighborhood was very walkable and safe--I'd seen lots of residents walking dogs.||Check in/out hotel staff were professional and competent, and felt sincerely helpful and respectful.||The TV had lots of choices, though my tv had a bluish cast, which I couldn't adjust. I mostly watched tv on my ipad, though. WiFi worked well.||I didn't want to spend a lot on a hotel as this wasn't a pleasure trip for me, but was surprised at how nice this area of Coral Gables was. When I need to return, I'll likely stay here again, or in the neighborhood.
