Great for families and groups -- all 318 guest rooms are one-bedroom suites that sleep up to six people (given the extra pullout sofa bed). In addition, there's a free airport shuttle, an excellent free hot breakfast, a pool and Jacuzzi, an on-site restaurant and bar, and an excellent, 24-hour fitness center. But Wi-Fi costs $13.

Clean, soundproofed guest rooms, dreamy beds, attentive service, free Wi-Fi, free shuttles to Miami International Airport (every 30 minutes), and a nice-size gym and pool make the 149-room Hampton Inn a great option near the airport. But while there's free breakfast, there's no full restaurant on-site or room service.

Made up of 163 modern, apartment-style studio suites and one- and two-bedroom suites -- each with stainless-steel kitchen appliances and great bedding -- this is a solid airport hotel for families or groups, given its free breakfast, great fitness center, and Jacuzzi. But for a restaurant and a pool, you'll have to walk over to the sister Marriott.

The Marriott's 363 guest rooms are clean and comfortable and it offers a free shuttle to Miami International. But nice touches -- in-room air purifiers/humidifiers and hypoallergenic upgrades, a large pool and fitness center, a quality restaurant, sports bar, and a Starbucks -- make it a cut above. But breakfast and Wi-Fi both cost extra.

Offering 300 comfortable guest rooms, a quality pool and Jacuzzi, a restaurant, and a 24-hour fitness center and convenience store, the Courtyard by Marriott isn't too fancy (no room service, for example), but it's a great choice for an airport hotel that can sleep four people to a standard room.
