We flew British airways to Miami and were met by Princess and taken to the west Miami Intercontinental for the night. This was ll stress free. the hotel is in the business district, but we really like it. There is a nice pool and a fitness room. We had to pay for breakfast, but it was very good.

Our room was always cleaned thoroughly.

Sometimes our room was cleaned 3 -4 times a day, he was always replacing our towels when they were needing it. Read more
