My family booked three rooms at the Marriott Dadeland. We were part of a wedding party of over 40 out-of-town guests and the bride and groom had chosen this hotel due to proximity of the wedding.
The check-in process was chaotic and we did not get into our rooms until two hours after normal check-in. I had booked the rooms two months in advance and the hotel knew about this wedding at least eight months in advance. Furthermore, I had called 24 hours before to check on the rooms and request early check-in due to the hectic wedding rehearsal schedule that day. The excuse given for the late check-in was that we wanted our rooms on the same floor. I think that is was poor planning and prioritizing on their part.
To add insult to injury, one of my family members was charged $250 for smoking in their room. We were not told about this fee when I called to make reservations and requested smoking rooms; when we checked in; not posted on their website. However, there are tiny cards with fine print in the rooms to let you know!
Ironically, two other members of our party smoked in their rooms and they were not charged the fee. So, smokers beware of the Marriott chain in Florida! By the way, I did look up the Florida Non-smoking Law and the penalty is $100. I guess Marriott needs the extra revenue to "recover" the room.
In addition, you can hear other guests using the bathrooms from other rooms. Upon checking out, I was given the wrong keys to the car by the valet. From a world traveler and Miami native, I recommend that you stay away from this hotel! Try the Hampton Inn nearby instead.
