Most other hotels on this list are within an 8-12 minute drive via the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) or NW 36th Street corridors. Only Candlewood Suites Miami Lakes (#19) is farther, at about 15 minutes north.
Which hotels near Medley offer free parking?

What’s the best time to visit Medley and the surrounding area?
Winter through spring (December to April) offers the most comfortable weather – temperatures in the 70s and low humidity.
