We are heading to Miami and I was looking for a Marriott hotel with good accessibility to Little Havana.
Thinking of the Sheraton Miami Airport. Any feedback on this one.

TIA

Not sure this would work but we stayed at the Pulse on South Beach and loved it.

Pulse is in South Beach so it is about a 20min drive to Little Havana. I believe you can take public transport to little havana but am not sure as I have always had a vehicle. Pulse South Beach is the closest MVC property to Little Havana.

Thanks for that. I have a booking at the Sheraton Miami Airport. I will check further.

Some of the airport hotels run shuttles to little Havana for people to go out to dinner. We stayed at the Element. The room had a small kitchen, they offered a nice free breakfast, free shuttle to Little Havana, free shuttle to the airport, and free parking for our entire 2 week vacation just for staying 1 night.

Yes, it looks to me like some of the airport Marriotts are only a few miles to Little Havana while MVC Pulse is 8 or more miles (could make a difference) but again it depends on where in Little Havana you want to go... Good Luck!

I don't care for that hotel personally, too noisy. I stay in that area every week on business and lived in Miami for 7 years.

I would grab the residence Inn /courtyard/marriott complex since its cheaper (they charge for parking though) and share nice amenities.The new Towneplace suites is 'outside the gates' of that complex I just mentioned, but if you're there to just sleep, stay there to save the money. (not somewhere I'd go wandering on foot at night). A bit closer to Little Havana would be Coral Gables Courtyard on Le Jeune or the 4 points Sheraton off Ponce De Leon/38th.

The closest Marriott is probably the Aloft in Brickell though, its a trendy hotel with a pool table in the lobby, a bar, and decent breakfast. Parking isn't cheap but you can street park and have the meters shut off around 1AM i believe. Cheapest Uber ride but you can take the free trolley as well.

Residence Inn Miami Airport. Not the Residence inn in coconut grove (that one is crappy as well). The airport one is nice, new, and you can use the main Marriott pool.
