Guest feedback is mixed on room quality and upkeep, with some travelers noting cleanliness concerns while others found the rooms comfortable and adequately equipped.
Amenities & Services
The hotel offers complimentary parking and an area shuttle service, useful for guests without a rental car who still want to reach nearby attractions or shopping. Additional on-site conveniences include BBQ grills for outdoor cooking and a coin-operated laundry, both practical for extended stays or road-trip travelers. Pets are welcome for an additional fee, and children age 14 and under stay free when sharing a room with a parent (one child per room).
Location
The hotel sits about 2 miles from Coral Castle and roughly 2.4 miles from Homestead-Miami Speedway, making it a convenient base for race weekends or a visit to the quirky roadside attraction. It is also within a 7-to-11-mile radius of several Everglades-area draws, including Biscayne National Park's Dante Fascell Visitor Center, the Everglades Alligator Farm, Monkey Jungle, and Robert Is Here Fruit Stand. Zoo Miami, Fruit & Spice Park, Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery, and Homestead Bayfront Park are also reachable within about a 6-to-10-mile drive.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious travelers, race fans, and Everglades-area sightseers who prioritize proximity to attractions like Homestead-Miami Speedway, Coral Castle, and Biscayne National Park over upscale amenities. The kitchenette-equipped suites and coin-operated laundry also make it a practical option for travelers on extended road trips or multi-day regional touring who want to self-cater and do laundry on-site. Pet owners traveling with animals will also find it accommodating, since pets are welcome for a fee.
Travel tips
Having a car is recommended given the spread of area attractions, some of which are 10 miles or more away, though the complimentary area shuttle can help for closer trips. Book well ahead and expect higher rates around major events like NASCAR race weekends at Homestead-Miami Speedway, as demand and pricing can spike significantly during these periods. The hotel's location near shopping and dining also means guests can walk to nearby stores for essentials rather than relying solely on the kitchenette.
What guests say
Reviewer feedback is mixed but centers on a few recurring themes. Several guests praise friendly staff and the convenient location near shopping (a Target and Walmart are mentioned), as well as fair pricing given the amenities provided. On the negative side, some reviewers report cleanliness issues, including an unpleasant odor suggestive of pest problems, and complaints about uncomfortable mattresses and low-quality pillows. Value perception seems to swing with pricing, since one guest noted rates roughly tripling during a major race weekend, which affected their sense of worth for the stay.
