10 Top-Rated Motels in Florida

April 18, 2023 Rebbecca Marino

Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

Edgewater Inn Stay is always great

Reviewed By RJKR0217

We have stayed at this location for over 28 years. Had our honeymoon here. It is very convenient and walkable to old town. Park at the Inn and walk across the Bridge of Lions. Only issue, which we forgot to tell management, is the bathroom sink drained very slow. Not a biggie for us, but it may be for someone else.

Reviewed By Rafeek84

As promised from last year, the team here at Best Western Hibiscus delivered on another great experience. Derron, Sonya & Sasha were pleasant and easy to coordinate with, since we book a year out. They were especially accommodating this year with our mobility needs which our group of seven appreciate so much. We got a wonderful welcome that came with snack bags because of the Rewards Program we are a part of. Parking was included for our car and the golf cart we rented. It stormed quite a bit, but the maintenance team had the pool sparkling & debris free every morning. For our long weekend, the hot breakfast StacyAnn setup was always different. She's a lovely morning personality. As are the housekeeping girls Maria & Anita; they were always on top of things we needed and flipped our rooms when we away. Great team here. We'll see you next year!

Beautiful area

Reviewed By coastskigirl

So pleased I booked Snooze for our time in Fort Lauderdale as Matt the Manager was the best part of this hotel. As we traveled from Australia and were going on a cruise we required a Covid test before boarding. This was not as easy as I expected and after trying Walgreens & a Medical clinic with no luck Matt came to the rescue and organised a Doctor to come directly to our room to do the rapid test and issue a medical certificate. Matt was also helpful with recommendations on things to do and where to go and responded immediately if I sent a text with questions. The beach right across the road is beautiful and they supply beach towels, chairs and other gear.

Fabulous find!

Reviewed By Woozle-At-Large

I'm 100% in agreement with the hundreds of positive reviews for Marker 8 Hotel and Marina. Great location. Beautiful facility. Delicious breakfasts. Best staff on the planet. We stayed five nights in mid-May, and enjoyed every minute. We especially loved our second-floor balcony, with a view of the Marina, drawbridge, and marine life -- manatees, dolphins, and a variety of shorebirds. We also appreciated the gopher tortoises and ghost crabs at Anastasia State Park. In town, the Hop-On-Hop-Off Tour Bus was informative and entertaining. Columbia Restaurant in the historic district is a must, though we found the fare at Black Fly and Odd Birds to be more creative and flavorful. All in all, our visit was a smash success. Book this hotel. You'll be glad you did.

Location is the main bonus of this resort

Reviewed By JezGateshead

The location is everything for this resort great beach front and a quirky breakfast each morning. The owner was super friendly and would help with anything to make your stay. However bear in mind if you have problems with insects they are everywhere and they bit!!!! All we wanted was a simple room with one bed but would have expected a bit more room and furniture. All I can say it was an experience

Great place to get together with friends

Reviewed By W357UAryans

Just returned from a great couple of day's at the Saint with a group of old friends. The Staff went above and beyond to make our group's time enjoyable, always around to ask if there is anything we needed. The hotel itself was neat and a bit quirky, with everything we needed (although we spent more time by the pool than in the rooms). We also had a common room, which was stocked and kept nice and neat by the staff even. A nice touch was the gift on the house to recognize what we were celebrating. The pool is really nice with great chairs to lounge in and good music/lighting. Spent a lot of time there, although if you want a really good beach it was only a short walk away. We ordered a lot from the hotel restaurant and everything was really good. Seemed to be a lot of people eating there when it was nice out, which livened up the place. Thanks to Matt and Randy, the servers, and the house keeping staff (Susie) for a great stay.
