8 Top-Rated Motels in Miami, Florida

April 20, 2023 Matilde Konrad

Miami is hot hot hot! And it’s not just the sultry weather. Here, the nightlife is scorching, thanks to a strong Latin influence and spicy salsa culture. Dance the noche away in a nightclub, or indulge in a fancy meal at one of the city’s celebrity-owned restaurants. By day, hit the beach of course, or have yourself a walkabout, taking in Miami’s colorful art deco architecture. Grab a Cuban sandwich in Little Havana, then ride the vintage carousel at Virginia Key Beach Park.

It was ok

Reviewed By theresasO7479KF

The owner was very nice and was able to provide more towels and pillows upon request. The AC worked great and the room was clean. It made due for a one night stay before our cruise but probably wouldn't stay again. The hotel is outdated and so is the furniture. The location isn't the best. There are cigarette burns on the end tables, toilet seat, blanket, and pillow cases. The bed squeaks and the area is noisy at night. There is a bar fence to keep people from just coming up to the back of the hotel rooms.

The worst

Reviewed By august01

Everything about this place was horrid. It was expensive (the most expensive hotel stay of our two week trip), it was dirty, it was noisy (we could hear every conversation in the neighbouring rooms), smelly, the hotel doors didn't reach to the floors, and the attitude of the reception staff to some of the customers (not us, but to many other guests) was terrible. Stay elsewhere.

Our room was clean and the the owners were very nice and helpful. It was easy to find and to get around during our four night stay there. Parking was a little tricky and I would have loved to have had a pool, I would definitely stay there again.

Paying for parking per day/night of $13 and no microwave in the room

Reviewed By cadenefearon

This is a rip off. How can a hotel expects its guest to pay for parking per night. Some areas of the car park had water that was above the ankle. They could have informed the guests where to park so to prevent us from going in to the flooded water to get our cars. I was driving an SUV and the water cover the bottom portion of where the tire meets the hub cap. On top of that the room had no microwave and continental breakfast is not given. I have been to other Wyndhams and other hotels and continental breakfast is served and microwave is also in the room.
