"Excellent base to explore greater Miami"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 6, 2012
Hotel staff very friendly. nice lobby, good breakfast with fresh fruits and no plastic dishes. After complaining about the size of suite we were sold for 5 persons (definitely too small and not a fair sale) we were given complimentary upgrade to a two bed room suite by the manager which was very much appreciated. Free parking and free wireless internet are very convenient as well as close access to highway and airport.

"Comfortable, clean, & close to the cruiseport"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Free shuttle to the hotel from airport. Nice exercise room and pool. Room was very comfortable, staff friendly, and hotel was well-maintained and clean. Shuttle provided by hotel to points of interest and cruiseport. Definite return stay next time catching a cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale.
"close to the beach"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
I will come back when I can

"Eh?"
Shula's is not a bad place for a business stopover. It is very clean and has lots of memory lane pics. Surely not a family oriented location as there is no microwave/mini-fridge. Many things were broken in room such as lamps, shower curtain, light switches. Pool not heated (no big deal in Miami) and only one jet was functional in jacuzzi. Staff were […] very nice and did fix some things that they could at the time. Shula's is located on Main Street in Miami Lakes which used to be a fun place. Almost half of the shops/restaurants are now closed. For sure do not eat at Shula's 2 bar. Consistent absent staff and bad food. There are a few other places close by within walking distance. About a mile away is Shula's golf course and steak house. Pretty good golf course and good viddles, but you'll pay the price. I've stayed here 3-4 times as I live close by. When a project is done at my house, I have come here. Not real bad, but not that great. Convenience is the reason I have stayed here. I would take other options if available. Read more
"quick business trip"
Hotel is a little older, but recently updated. Staff is as nice and polite as possible. Shula's restaurant has neat memorabilia... Didn't try to food. Most of the rooms have parking lot views, so don't expect much scenery.
"Great location"
Close to FWY and food places.
Great hotel and well appointed. It is located on Main St in Miami Lakes and is surrounded by many upscale shops plus plenty of eateries.
"Great Location but very loud"
We stayed in a King room on the Patrician Floor for two nights. Bed and bedding were clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean and spacious. The noise level was well above normal, trash dumpsters being banged around at 0400 and lots of noise from hall and adjoining rooms. Housekeeping was prompt and efficient. The front desk help was average with […] expection of one that was a bit short with us for asking for the promised $25 voucher for the restaurant. Which was not for the one at the hotel but a mile or so away, and this was not mentioned at all until we tried to use it. We ate in the hotel restaurant anyway and it was very good. Providing the voucher for a restaurant of the same name not but not eligible to be used at the local one we felt was a bit misleading. Read more

"Great fitness center and really nice people!"
The staff (from the restaurant staff to the fitness center staff to housekeeping) were some of the nicest folks I have ever met! Everyone I encountered went far out of their way to offer assistance and make me feel welcome. The only negative comments I have are that the property is a bit dated and the air conditioning unit in my room was far too noisy […] to use and actually sleep. Read more
"Nice place"
We were attending the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne. While the hotel was somewhat far from the tournament, it was a nice convenient location, with easy access to expressways. The hotel itself is slightly dated, but the room was very good. I'd stay there again.
"Good Bet"
I was very pleased with my stay and plan to go back again! Very nice rooms for the price and a great location with everything within easy walking distance in a very safe neighborhood.
"Shulas Resort"
A little dated but very comfortable and safe neighborhood. Downtown is nice and has lots to offer.

"Average"
Overall our stay was fine. Hotel staff was very nice. Hotel is a little old but nice landscaping in the foyer. Shulas reaturant was good, but its not the steak house version. This was the sports bar. The steakhouse was 15 minutes down the road. The room was nice on appearance. Clean bathroom. Only down fall was the water pressure in the shower was horrible. […] The room was a little dark overall. The bed was comfy. But the walls were thin and you could hear everything outside of your room. Got a great deal on room rate. Last minute stay. If you have other options think about them first.

"Shula's Hotel in Miami Lakes"
The treatment my family and guests received was very inappropriate. The staff at the front desk acted as if they did not want to wait on us. It was very uncomfortable and had I not paid in advance and my money was refundable, we would have left altogether. Family in each room reserved were bitten and roaches were visible throughout the hotel. I will […] never stay there again. Read more
"Shulas is a sure bet"
Loctaed in MIami Lakes, good selection of cafes and food downtown. Good neighborhood. Food at Shulas 2 was good. Bed was comfortable. Definately would stay there again.
"Inadequate climate control"
Not guest friendly climate control. During warm Miami nights, tried to get room temperature to 68F but it wouldn't go below 72F. Got a room change, but no improvement of temperature issue. Hotel employee wouldn't even hold door open as I was going out of building pushing luggage cart!
"interesting experience"
The room was fine. It was inexpensive, so we did not expect complete luxury. Hotel is older. But room was clean and fairly updated. The pool is small and old design. The landscaping in the center courtyard is beautiful, that kind of landscaping takes years of care to get to that state. However, the Shula Golf Course (called The Senator) is a complete […] joke. This is supposed to be a golf resort. The course was not in good shape, was of the most simple design. The driving range was laughable. At one time they clearly had a great practice facility. Now the par 3 course across the street is an empty field, the building at the range is shuttered with plywood, the water fountain covered in green slime, and the range balls were ancient and had the consistency of concrete. Are you kidding me? $80 a round for this nonsense? But if you need a hotel room (and don't play golf) in the Miami Lakes are, its pretty good for the price. One more thing: breakfast was terrible. 13 dollars for awful buffet. Small with very few choices, not fresh, no good. Read more
the hotel looked nice on first arrival but underneath there were many things that were wrong. the bathroom pipes were very loud and sounded like someone was drilling everytime the water was used in the room above us. It was noisy with airplanes just overhead from the near by airport. We also had to go to the desk 3 times to get keys that worked in the […] door.. Having the health club was nice and close by, the neighborhood with 5-6 restaurants in walking distance was also nice... Get the pipes fixed !! Read more

"hotel cruise"
The only complaint I had was a faulty air-conditioner which was fixed by the hotel after I called about it. One suggestion is to have a small refrig in the room. Otherwise, the place was great
"Good deal grat service"
Hotel Staff were super friendly and everyone was willing to help. From valet parking guys, front desk ,and housekeeping everyone had a part in making the stay a pleasant one. Room was average but clean and quiet. Lots and shops and places to eat close by. Enjoyed it - thanks
"A hometown place to stay"
Located in a nice town of Miami lakes with a gym across street and plenty of security. Staff is professional and efficient. Worth the time to spend an extra day to relax by the pool and hot tub! Restaurants and Main Street shopping right out your door and free parking.
parking is terrible
"Frustrating"
The hotel is fine, but management is not. There was a parade this past Sunday morning following Veteran's Day. The parade went all around the streets adjacent to the hotel, and police barracaded the streets so that guests of the hotel could not exit the parking lot for over an hour. Hotel management did not give guests prior notice of the event so […] we could get our cars out in advance of the parade. We almost missed a special event which was the basis for our stay in Miami due to the hotel's negligence. Read more
"Shula's"
Went down for a Dolphins game! PERFECT! I loved it! We stayed in the Junior Suite! The hard wood floors were awesome! Will definitely stay there again!
"Nice Facility.......But!!!!"
The Facility itself, location & surroundings were quite acceptable. However, the quality of the customer service needs 2 be improved. There was no lotion provided as u would expect in most similar places. Service in the Bar area as well as dining area (Shula's 2) was horrible. Seemed like more than enough servers for the # of people present, but servers […] were extremely slow & dis-interested. Also, we could not get out of Parking Lot as it was closed-off on Sunday A.M. from 10-12 due 2 a parade. Hotel staff said they were unaware, but we found that highly debatable. Ruined our plans as we were there for Dolphins game, but barely made it in stadium for kick-off. Read more
"HOTEL WAS IN MIAMI LAKESFL"
I HAVE STAYED IN THIS HOTEL PREVIOUSLY BEFORE,. I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED MY STAY. THIS HOTEL IS CENTRALLY LOCATED IN A CONVEINANT LOCATION. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF THERE SOME PERKS. THEY GIVE YOU A 25 DOLLAR DISCOUNT OFF 75 DOLLAR AT SHULA STEAKHOUSE. BUT, IT'S NOT CONVENIANT FOR ONE PERSON. CAN I PLEASE BE NOTIFIED FOR ALL SPECIALS. THANK YOU.
"Hotel is a good find but restaurant is TERRIBLE"
Both the hotel and hotel staff were fine. Very comfortable and a fun, funky place to be if you like things fairly quiet. However, the restaurant is very poorly run. The food is fine but the staff is not good, they do not honor there coupons without a problem and while the place is empty you can stand there waiting for service for a long time. Eat somewhere […] else. Read more
"Shulas--great hotel"
Service was great and the room was nice. Great amenities. Steakhouse was fantastic but was overpriced. Valet was unavailable. All hotel employees were helpful. Hotel room floor was partially under construction but it wasn't inconvenient.

"Continental Breakfast"
I enjoyed my stay, the staff was excellent.. My one problem was the correct expectation with the free breakfast, only the cold stuff was free..bagels muffins and cereal... NOT what I was expecting ..but overall great...
"Don Shula's Hotel in Miami Lakes"
Hotel was very cool, good surrounding enviroment (Main Street), we where forced to stay inside for dinner due to heavy rain, Shulas Steak House 2 was incredible, freindly staff and great tasting food.

"Downhill like the Dolphins"
From what I hear, this hotel was a great place some years back. It still has some good qualities, but overall not a great place. The ants in our bathroom were a major turn off, but those things do happen in Florida. The A/C unit in the room was really loud, especially when turning off and on. We had to set it to a colder temperature to reduce the frequent […] start and stop. The bed was extremely comfortable and was the best part of the room and the entire experience. The worst part of the stay was the hotel food. The first day we had a complementary continental breakfast in a room on our floor. I have had better meals out of a vending machine. Stale danish, watered down juice, soggy bread that seemed to be toasted by someone breathing heavy on it, and fruit that was slimy were all topped off by coffee that was bitter, cold and watered down. The other days we had breakfast in the restaurant. The same continental items were still offered but on Sunday morning a larger buffet was offered for an additional $16. After looking at the buffet we wisely asked to order off the menu, but were told that regular breakfast was not available, only the buffet. We had decided to leave when they told us they would make an exception and allow us to order. The made to order items were actually good, but it was just sad that a place once known for their high end brunch has been reduced to such a low level. With far nicer places to stay within a few miles, we will opt for other hotels in the future and live with the traffic issues. Read more
"Don Shula's Hotel and Golf Resort"
The staff was extremely polite. The hotel was under renovations at certain areas (roof and new store openings) which were properly secured. The hotel room was clean and comfortable. Something I often find annoying about hotels is the water pressure for the shower. Don Shula's water pressure was better than most. It was definitely convenient to the Sun […] Life Stadium (which was our destination) . I recommend a balcony room, the non-balcony rooms are kind of dark. I have stayed here before and will stay again. Read more
"Shula's Hotel Miami Florida"
We showed up to find our room would not be ready until afer 7pm. We needed a place to change close and clean up. We were offered a public bath room. Showed back up to the hotel around 11pm and they handed me a key and pointed where I needed to go. I was pushing a bellmans cart through the courtyard lloking for my room. Ther was no place that allowed […] access to the bellmans cart. I had to pick it up over the curb and went looking for a poorly marked hotel trying to find the elevator. The worst service I have eve had. Wished I stayed at a motel 6. Read more
"Nice and Quiet"
This hotel was nice and quiet. Very surprising that the area and hotel was so quiet. Stayed here on a Dolphin Monday night game and very quiet. would be very nice for a romantic weekend!
"Had a very good time on Labor Day Wknd"
Had a king size bed, very confortable. Breakfast was incuded and very good. Swiming pool was open 24 hrs a day, and if you stay low you can enjoy your drinks too. Things are very expensive in surrounding areas but you have lot of restaurants, a cold stone creamery, a movie, and some very nice little stores all around the hotel. Nice for not having to […] drive after a few Heineken. Read more
"Convenient and comfortable"
We felt Shula's was a great value (combination of price and quality). We love to go to the beach and it is a great escape from the beach when time to go home. Will definately use it again
