Its location makes it a practical base for travelers heading toward the Florida Keys or exploring the Everglades region. The property is straightforward and no-frills, geared toward road-trippers and outdoor-focused visitors rather than luxury seekers.

Location & Surroundings
The hotel sits about a 10-minute drive from Homestead-Miami Speedway and roughly 15 minutes from entrances to Everglades National Park. Nearby points of interest include Coral Castle, the Everglades Alligator Farm, Robert Is Here Fruit Stand, and Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery, all within a short drive, along with Losner Park just over a kilometer away for a quick walk or stretch.
Best for
This hotel best suits budget-conscious travelers, road-trippers, and Everglades or Florida Keys-bound visitors who want an affordable, no-frills overnight stop with free parking and easy Route 1 access. It also works well for families, since kids 17 and under stay free and the free continental breakfast helps keep costs down, and for motorsports fans attending events at nearby Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Travel tips
Since the hotel sits directly off Route 1, a car is the most practical way to reach nearby attractions like the Everglades Alligator Farm, Coral Castle, and Robert Is Here Fruit Stand, all within a roughly 3-8 kilometer radius. Plan for about a 15-minute drive to Everglades National Park entrances and a 10-minute drive to Homestead-Miami Speedway, so time arrivals around race schedules or park hours accordingly. The seasonal outdoor pool is best enjoyed in warmer months, and the on-site laundromat is handy for multi-day trips exploring the Keys or Everglades.
What guests say
Guest feedback frequently highlights the complimentary breakfast, with specific praise for hot options like eggs, pancakes, waffles, and sausage. Staff service is a recurring positive theme, with multiple guests calling out friendly and helpful front desk employees by name. Many reviewers also mention affordable rates, comfortable beds, and a convenient location as strengths. A notable downside mentioned by some guests is a musty or moldy smell in certain rooms, though this is offset for many by the low price and quiet, clean overall experience others reported.
