Small Boutique Charm.......
By WithoutaTrace, 7/15/09
I had a layover at the airport and stayed at the Runway. My room reminded me, very much of being in NYC, It was darling and must have been recently upgraded, as everything seemed new. Would definitely stay again. The only thing I would recommend is the Manager didn't seem to be up beat and proud of place. I told him how much I enjoyed the room and frankly he didn't really seem like he cared....maybe it was a bad day for him. The breakfast room was great...Thank you for a pleasant surprise...and even better, it was at a budget price. The people on my plane wished they had stayed there when I told them about it. We will the next time. I just want your manager to be in a better mood and things will be perfect. Thanks again!!

this hotel is horrible!
By Reginochka, 5/28/09
Um...pictures online look good,but as soon as we arrived to the hotel i was shocked.The building looked really old, and i really don't like cats, but for some reason there was a cat sleeping on the furniture outside (later on my bf told me that the cat has flees, gross).when we went inside, i wanted to leave after seeing a guy on the front desk smoking right over there.when we went into the room, it wasn' t that bad until i decided to check the bed.there were lots of hair on sheets and every corner, even in the bathroom eww.i would never again return to this place.And the weirdest thing is that when i decided to talk to the guy sitting on the front desk suggested us to drop everything on the floor and sleep without sheets cuz its hot outside,weird!!!i didn't even feel comfortable sitting on the furniture,the shower ohhh shower was aweful!not too much space,really dirty,i didn't want to step in without flip flops!!!towels, hair hair hair!!!! DON'T GO IN THERE!the man on the fron desk is the meaniest person that likes to talk to only with spanish speaking old ppl. i guess there are lots of fake comments online about this hotel,trust me i am telling the truth and better not to go in here.(not even worth to have 1 star)

Clean, comfortable and convenient
By jerry, 11/15/08
This was a nice find close to the Miami airport. I called from the airport courtesy phone and the person at the front desk told me they had just finished remodeling the hotel. The price was so reasonable I was a little suspect but took a chance. This place is so cool. It is a completely renovated building with this great big, old fashioned lobby that had lots of leather seating....kind of retro in a very nice way. But the big surprise was the room and especially the bed. Instead of one of those cookie cutter rooms that every hotel seems to have now days, this looked like a bed you'd find at a fancy resort; nice thick comforter, soft wheets and very comfortable. My room had a nice plasma tv and was plenty roomy, especially for the price. I'd definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone who's tired of the same old same old. One thing I have to say though. There was no elevator so I had to walk to my 2nd floor room but it was really no big deal. I think this is to be expected in a nostalgic old landmark style hotel. A great blend of old and new. The only reason I didn't give it more than 2 stars is that it doesn't have a restaurant and the bar was undergoing renovation so it was closed. I will definitely be back though.

Very Nostalgic Hotel .......
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/7/08
Old Florida Hotel that was recently remodeled. Very clean, comfortable an definitely affordable. Free transporation to and from the Airport. The staff was very friendly. The room and bathroom were a little small but It had a wonderful european flare.

Excellent Value
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/6/08
Needed to stay in Miami overnight before a cruise; heard about this place from a friend who had recently stayed there. It is newly renovated and found it to be very comfortable, clean with good service and free transportation to airport and sea port. Very reasonably priced, would definitely recommend.

your biggest nightmare
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/6/08
This event was right out of a movie--going on a cruise the next day--midnight tired etc. someone waited 45 mins for shuttle we waited 2 hours. The smelliest man on earth was on the shuttle, I couldn'd roll the windows down fast enough. The young man at the front desk was so helpful-he even used his own cell phone to get us another place on a saturday night in miami. We walked into the room and I did not care that it was 3am--get me out of there. I've stayed at the four seasons and hiltons and I don't mean to be a snob but no way--not in your wildest dreams. Very skanky people in the bar, don't stay there!!!!!

Never again
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/28/08
For this hotel isn't any rating possible - the lowest is far to high!!!!! Incredible, awful stinky !! We left after 30min. The guy behind the frontdesk did his best - no chance. The aircondition ist that noisy and produced a cold storm in the room - no joke. No way to shut down that machine. Even if you get money for a stay - never take that 'hotel'!!!!!!!!!!

the worst hotel ever
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/28/08
when I arrived, I knew I had made a mistake, but it was late and my flight left in 8 hours so I stayed. My biggest problem was the lack of air-condioning, it was August and hot!!! and you could not control the air or lack there of. I reminded me of a transient hotel...I slept with my clothes on and did dare get under the soiled comforter. and left early in the morning NEVER AGAIN!

Gross
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/16/08
This place is so gross that even the creepy old man hitting on me in the lobby said it was discusting. The furiture it old, cheap and dirty, there was no tv remote, the bathroom was discusting and did not drain. Also the shuttle smelled so badly of smoke that my eyes watered and my fellow passengers unsuccessfully tried to open the windows. I have a pretty high tolerance for grossness, but there are slightly more expensive hotels by the airport in Miami that atleast don't smell so awful.

Runway? Should be called Run Away!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/16/08
This place was terrifying! Most of the reviews sum things up pretty well, and I am amazed that some people slept in those beds even though they felt uncomfortable about it. The moment we walked into our room I knew we would be turning around and leaving. It smelled like I stuck my face deep into a kitty litter box. We hadn't made arrangements for a place to sleep during an extra night in Miami while we were travelling, so we looked at the board of hotels at the airport and found this one. The middle price range places didn't have any openings, leaving the way too expensive places and the runway inn. My mind kept reading the sign as "Runaway Inn" and I didn't realize it was Runway until we got there. I think my brain was trying to tell me something... the true name of that place should be Runaway! Now, I will touch on the four topics Yahoo asked me to rate above. Service: When I asked for a refund, I tried to be polite. The man at the counter just got angry that I didn't want to stay there and pointed at the no refunds sign. I told him we'd barely checked in an hour ago and haven't even been in the room (we went down the street for lunch after dropping off our bags in the room. My wife was worried things would be stollen from our bags while we were out. First thing she did when we got our bags before leaving was make sure everything was there. It was... at this point. She didn't feel safe staying there, and the door certainly wasn't secure.) Reluctantly, he gave us our refund. We'll be keeping an eye on our credit card though and make sure no strange charges show up. Location: It's a pretty dirty part of town, and the surrounding buildings are restarants I wouldn't think of eating at or crummy alcohol stores. One review mentioned seeing a hooker outside while moving his car... that doesn't suprize me, although I didn't see any hookers myself. I didn't hang around long enough. Cleanliness: First lets talk about everywhere but the room. The lobby doesn't quite look like a hotel lobby, and gives you the impression that the area is shared by other businesses or something. The hallway was out of a scary movie with it's dim lights and dirty, vinyl floor. The room numbers were just nailed to the door, not a little plaque like at most hotels on the wall. Everything added together to give you that dirty, horror movie, 'get out of here' feeling. The room was just as filthy, or worse. There were no lamps or warm incondescent lights like people are used to in home-type settings. Instead, lighting was provided by a cheap flourescent light on the ceiling, and in the bathroom it took a good minute of flickering for the light to finally come on. We were only brave enough to peek into the bathroom, and I honestly opened the closet just to see if that's where the roaches were hidding. A pattern of cigerette burns decorated the comforter, and I couldn't even imagine half of the microscopic bugs and parisites that must have been living in that matress. I was not going to risk getting some strange disease and a skin rash from sleeping in that bed. Value: I wouldn't stay there for free, and even if I was offered money to stay there... I don't need the extra cash that bad. Please, even if you're short on money and trying to find a low low price, don't stay here. I don't care how much money you'll save, you will honestly regret it. Final Thoughts: If you are planning for a place to stay and even give a moment's thought about this place, stop right now! Run away! Spend a little more money at a Holiday Inn or something, I would be seriously concerned for your health if I hear you chose the Runway Inn instead. If it happens to you like it did me, and you accidentally end up there, I'm very sorry. If they refused to refund you when you left, call your credit card company and contest the charge, they will take care of you. Whatever you do, just don't sleep there.
