Hotel Redland
5 S Flagler Ave, Homestead, FL 33030, Florida City, United States
4-star hotel
Guest rating: 4.2 / 5
Overview
Hotel Redland is a 4-star property in Florida City, Florida, at 5 S Flagler Ave in Homestead, with a public rating of 4.2 from 137 reviews. The building has an unassuming, historic exterior common to older Florida properties, with the entrance tucked beside an on-site restaurant rather than marked by prominent hotel signage. It functions as a small, character-driven lodging option rather than a large chain hotel.
Rooms
Guest rooms are described as clean and comfortable, with standard amenities such as a hair dryer, and some rooms include a dehumidifier to manage humidity common to the South Florida climate. Window coverings may not fully block outside light, and rooms located near the kitchen or facing the street can pick up noise into the late evening, so light sleepers may want to plan accordingly.
Dining
The hotel has an on-site restaurant and bar that guests have praised for quality food and attentive service. Breakfast offerings have been reported as minimal by at least one guest, so travelers seeking a substantial complimentary breakfast may want to have a backup plan.
Location & Surroundings
Hotel Redland sits close to Losner Park (about 200m away) and within a few kilometers of several notable Homestead-area attractions, including Robert Is Here Fruit Stand (3.6km), Coral Castle (4.7km), Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery (6.7km), Homestead-Miami Speedway (6.9km), and Fruit & Spice Park (7.5km). Its location also makes it a practical stopover point for travelers heading toward the Florida Keys, and it is within a reasonable drive of Zoo Miami, Everglades Alligator Farm, and the Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center for Everglades National Park.
Best for
Hotel Redland suits road-trippers and Everglades/Keys-bound travelers looking for an affordable, character-filled one- or two-night stopover, given its proximity to Coral Castle, the Everglades Alligator Farm, and the Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center. It also appeals to guests interested in local agritourism and small-town attractions like Robert Is Here Fruit Stand, Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery, and Fruit & Spice Park, all within a short drive.
Travel tips
Because the hotel entrance is not clearly marked and sits beside its restaurant, arriving guests should look for the door next to the restaurant or ask staff for direction. Parking can fill up in the evenings, so travelers planning to dine out and return late should be prepared to wait for a spot or park across the street temporarily. Given noise from the adjacent kitchen and street, packing earplugs or a sleep mask is a practical precaution, especially for ground-floor rooms.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff and comfortable beds, and several reviewers single out the on-site restaurant and bar for high-quality food and top-notch service. On the negative side, some guests mention a very sparse breakfast, a musty smell in at least one room offset by an in-room dehumidifier, and noise issues -- both from street traffic and from kitchen staff working late into the evening near ground-floor rooms. A few reviewers also noted the entrance was hard to find due to lack of clear signage, and that parking availability could be tight at night. Despite these drawbacks, the overall sentiment leans positive, with guests often citing the location and value as reasons to return or recommend a short stay.
