3-star hotel
Guest rating: 3.8 / 5
Overview
Tru by Hilton Florida City is a budget-friendly, 3-star hotel set just off Route 1 in Florida City, the southernmost gateway town before the Florida Keys and Everglades National Park. It has a laid-back, no-frills character with a colorful, casual lobby lounge that includes foosball and hot beverages. The property is geared toward travelers who want a comfortable, affordable base rather than a resort-style stay.
Rooms
Guest rooms are described as down-to-earth and functional, equipped with Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and minifridges. The focus is on clean, comfortable basics rather than upscale finishes, which matches guest feedback praising room cleanliness and comfortable beds.
Amenities & Dining
On-site facilities include an exercise room and a 24/7 convenience store for late-night or early-morning needs. Breakfast is available on-site and is frequently highlighted by guests as a strong point of the stay, along with the hotel's coffee offerings. Parking is also available for guests arriving by car.
Location
The hotel sits about 4 miles from the Coral Castle sculpture park and roughly 9 miles from the entrance to Everglades National Park, making it a practical launch point for exploring South Florida's natural and roadside attractions. Nearby points of interest include the Everglades Alligator Farm, Robert Is Here Fruit Stand, Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery, Homestead-Miami Speedway, Fruit & Spice Park, and Everglades Outpost, most within a short drive. Losner Park is within easy walking distance for a quick outdoor break.
Best for
This hotel best suits budget-conscious road-trippers, Everglades and Keys-bound travelers, and casual sightseers who want an affordable, convenient overnight stop rather than a luxury experience. Its proximity to Coral Castle, the Everglades Alligator Farm, and the entrance to Everglades National Park makes it especially practical for guests planning day trips to South Florida's natural attractions.
Travel tips
Because the hotel is located just off Route 1, having a car is the most practical way to reach nearby attractions like Coral Castle, Robert Is Here Fruit Stand, and the Everglades entrance, several of which are a short drive rather than walkable. The 24/7 convenience store is useful for grabbing supplies before an early start toward the Everglades or Keys. Guests heading to Miami attractions like Zoo Miami or Monkey Jungle should plan for a longer drive, as these are farther afield.
What guests say

Several reviewers specifically commend friendly and attentive staff, including a named team member noted for exceptional service.
