The Miami International Airport is one of the busiest passenger and freight airports in the United States and is a key jumping-off point for travelers heading to Latin America and the Caribbean. Surrounding the airport are dozens of lodging accommodations for travelers of all budgets. Smaller--and usually cheaper--locally owned motels dot the area alongside nationally recognized chain hotels, offering a large choice of options for visitors.
The Parkway Inn Airport Motel, which is located north of the airport and approximately seven minutes from the main terminal, offers travelers a comfortable stay. Affordable single and double rooms are available along with family suites. Special rates are available for longer stays (starting at five nights). The motel, which has a bilingual staff, offers Internet service and, upon request, a microwave and refrigerator in each guest room. It is situated within 15 minutes of a number of local attractions including horse and dog tracks, several malls, American Airlines Arena and the Miami beaches.
