Scene
Stylish, family-friendly hotel with personal touches popular with air transit passengers
Built in 2002, the SpringHill Suites Miami Airport South includes seven floors of rooms that were renovated in 2009. The hotel’s exterior looks generic, but the interior is stylishly decorated. Personal touches -- from lollipops at the contemporary front desk to flavored water dispensers in the lobby -- add to the welcoming atmosphere. The lobby is bright with high recessed ceiling designs and contemporary brown chairs, green sofas, and a flat-screen TV. There are two modern elevators. Due to its close proximity to the airport and the Port of Miami, the hotel attracts plenty of transit passengers.
