Its not glamorous or anything but it's decent enough. The a/c wasn't turning on when I first got there but I had to leave real quick to go to a show, and I was going to say something when I got back but by then it was on and stayed on the enitre time. I was there for 4 nights and nobody bothered me which I like. Some of these people writing reviews need to learn how to read because they HAVE A SIGN stating there is a $100 deposit, they HAVE A SIGN stating that nobody is going to go into your room when you aren't there and clean unless you specifically ask them to. Also the deposit, it shows up as a pending charge that falls off/gets put back into your account. It was by midnight the day I checked out that it showed the money going back. Y'all do realize sometimes these credit card companies take 5 to 7 business days to process this stuff but y'all are impatient and want to get on here and complain for no reason. There were no cockroaches, no bedbugs. Yes there was a hole in the comfortor on the bed. But I wasn't expecting Holiday Inn, I just needed a place to crash at night I actually spent my vaction in Miami doing stuff instead of sitting in a hotel room expecting room service from an old motel lol

The bedding wasn't clean. We stayed 5 nights, our room was cleaned two times. The microwave was outside by the office. You couldn't make a cup of coffee or tea. It was really dated. We call this a popdown place in my country.

This motel has a 3pm-11pm check-in window and asks that you inform them ahead of any late check-ins which we did. I called at 11:36am and spoke to the front desk informing them of an after midnight arrival. She stated that she would add a note to our booking on the computer to ensure they would be prepared. However, when we arrived we were informed that they gave our room away and had no rooms remaining. Through a stroke of luck a checkout occured after 45 minutes of my heavily pregnant wife and I scrambling to find another hotel. They ultimately cleaned the room and then billed us the full amount despite us getting in at arou d 3:45am after they made the error. The rooms are subpar quality at best. Do not stay here, stick to more well reviewed or reputable companies.

This place is a dump. Walls are paper thin, no elevator, smells and you can hear every car and motorcycle going by like its in the room. There are no cups for even getting water from the faucet, no coffee maker, and no desk. WOULD NOT RECCOMEND.

My boyfriend was using the bathroom and a roach starting crawling up his butt. He got up and found more around the toilet and bathroom and room. No remote in room, half clean room and bathroom. You can tell they just surface clean. In a trashy hood neighborhood and got the nerve to have a $100 hold deposit while you staying there. Would not recommend at all especially due to the roaches and them half cleaning the place.

I don’t know why there are negative reviews on this motel, but I found it to be quite nice. Perhaps the competition nearby is posting. While it’s not the Ritz the room was clean as well as the bathroom. As a plus, a block away there’s a nice coffee shop at the Chevron gas station. I’d stay here again.

The room was small and did not look anything like what was advertised online. When we got to the room it smelled like mold, and mildew. Then the manager tried to charge me and took my deposit for a hole that was already in the wall when I arrived. But that’s what u get for staying in this area.

Not for family
This hotel is for a single person or couple just needing to crash in Miami and be out in day time. Not for family's or with children. Bed was not the most comfortable, stiff blankets and humidity salty smell to room and sheets. No black out curtains sun/light comes through. And car sounds and street noise is heard. Kinda shady characters staying at hotel. Can't believe how much hotel prices have gone up that this hotel was $130 a night after taxes . SMH . Good a/c , hot water, pretty clean are the positives

It's fine but don't expect any frills.
The room was fine overall. The spring mattress was surprisingly comfortable but it makes noise every time you move. The TV has basic cable - only about 20 channels. The inside of the fridge was kind of gross. The room overall was clean but very austere. There was nothing homey about it. It was fine for what I needed it for - sleeping overnight after an incredibly long day of business meetings. But I wouldn't stay here again.
