Great hub and super travel info! Did you read the thing on hubtrail about if you put more than 15 tags, hubtrail won't show up? Do you know if they go alphabetically or just 15 in number would wipe out our 'hubtrail' tag? I'm still learning - need a bigger brain! Anyhow - great info and I love how clean they are.

I would never recommend this Homestead Suites hotel. I have been here for two months with another month to go. I am here relocating on a corporate package. I have already informed my corporate relocation office that this location, and chain, should not be considered in the future. I am planning on leaving one month order. They sell the property as being Internet capable. Don't be fooled. The Internet has worked about 50% of the time here. And for the past seven days not at all. So....I'f you need Internet at all to do work or investigate moving to Miami this is certainly not the place for you. If I didn't want Internet I would have gone to any number of other places.
