Hotels near Jesse Williams Ranch in Kendale Lakes

Everything and everyone were very accommodating. I don't have any complaints, definitely recommend this hotel. Breakfast could be a little better by changing the frozen omelets but they still offer different options.

I was in Miami with my dog to fly him to Belize. We spent the first two nights at the Candlewood next to the airport which was a fine hotel. My dog’s Amerijet flight was delayed two days so I needed to extend and so I needed to find another dog friendly hotel—the Candlewood in Kendall was available and was $65 per night less expensive than the one next to the airport. Contrary to other review I read, this place was wonderful: clean, quiet and comfortable. The room was huge and everything worked great. No complaints. It is a 30 minute drive to the airport which I did not mind. I highly recommend this hotel!

We had a great stay. The hotel is next to major roads if you are going to downtown Miami or elsewhere. The breakfast included was basic, and with high quality products and offerings. The one observation is that you have to request room cleaning service 24-hrs in advance or they won't come to clean the bathroom and empty trash cans. I was fine with not changing sheets and towels everyday for eco-friendly reasons, but I would suggest the front-desk to remind guests of this cleaning-upon-request. However, when we did ask for room cleaning the day before we left, the front desk graciously made that happen that same day. I will stay there again on my next trip.

This is an excellent place to stay near FIU. I was visiting my student, and it could not have been a better location. Close to everything. The service was terrific. Many thanks to the breakfast staff for being so accommodating. Special thanks to Adrianna at the front desk who helped me so much with getting a room when I had to overstay.

This hotel should be very inviting, a beautiful property, good location, great pool and good rooms. That being said the hotel has miles to improve on service including their front of house team and the front desk agents. Mariah (apologies if the spelling is incorrect) is rude, dismissive, and lacks any sort of general customer service skills and not someone you want representing your brand at the front desk. She lacks any loyalty awareness, and has no care in the world if you express any concerns about your stay or experience to her. Really ruins your experience when you get treated by the face of the brand like that on your first experience as you walk in the hotel. After reading many reviews on the property it seems like the response of the hotels is that of, let’s defend ourselves and not addresses anyones concerns so I don’t expect much from the management to try and fix anything. On a side note, hotels have guaranteed check in times however traditionally one may show up before this time and can usually check in if their room is ready or wait for a room to be prepared. This hotel decides in an absurd fashion that even if your room is ready they have a $30 early check in fee. Penny pinching at its finest when you pay hundreds of dollars for your stay. This hotel has a long way to go in terms of learning how to appreciate its customers and train their employees with basics of customer service. Marriott is the way to go. Bonvoy loyalty matters to all of Marriott’s brands and service makes you feel welcome in their property not like you’re a burden for being their like this property does.

We all love it!

Good hotel, spacious room (there were four of us and we were very well accommodated), functional, friendly and efficient service (a highlight for Alexa). Standard American breakfast, good but not excellent. Opposite the International Mall and about a 7-minute drive from Dolphin Mall (USD8 by Uber). A very positive point was that they kept our bags while we were on our cruise. I recommend.

The hotel was nice, staff were nice, and the breakfast was OK. Since we were in our rooms for most of the morning when staff cleaned, we didn't get our rooms cleaned during the 3 day stay. When we asked for clean washcloths, there weren't any. We were given hand towels instead. The location isn't the best, but I liked that it was within walking distance to the shopping center with Target. Other than this, it was a good stay.

We were on our way to South America and spent 1 night at this hotel. At check-In Hugo greeted us with a warm smile and he exhibited efficiency and professionalism which caught our attention and thorough pleased us. We rented a car and while on the way back, there was a detour which caused our gps system to go crazy. We called Hugo and he led us back from 20 mins away. Once we got back, he greeted us like family. The rooms were comfortable and the beds allowed us to sleep soundly. The room was very clean. The business center was very useful to us. If you don’t feel like being super close to the airport or downtown, this is the place for you - you will not regret your stay.

Choice properties are kinda hit or miss. This one is a home run. Nicely located, reasonable high season rates, large rooms, competent front desk and good housekeeping. This is an older property but very well maintained. The franchisee knows how to run a hotel. About 15 minutes from Miami International Airport. There is a Publix supermarket and a vibrant shopping ***** with a couple of sit down restaurants right next store. Ample parking. I'm checking out now but thought I'd leave a review because I was impressed.
