Rodeway Inn South Miami – Coral Gables

Hot water in a cup should not be this hard to get. Staff was not helpful and playing on his phone while I waited to ask a simple question of how I could make a cup of tea. No coffee makers in the rooms, toilet runs all the time and no covers on light sockets in the room. Not impressed. Parking it a hassle and cost $ 8 a night. I’m just praying I don’t bring home bed bugs.

El hotel se ve como nuevo. Parece que hace poco lo renovaron. El recibidor muy bonito y huele muy bien. Mi habitacion estaba muy comoda, limpia, con buen olor. El aire acondicionado funcionaba a la perfeccion y tambien el agua caliente. El estacionamiento es $ 8.00 dolares la noche. Al frente del hotel hay estacionamientos que se le depositan monedas (parcometros). Estos son gratis de 12:00am a 9:00 am. En general me parecio excelente hotel por el precio.

Stayed here for 3 days in January. Great hotel looks like a 5 star hotel but I only payed $ 80 per night what a bargain… Rooms were nice and big very clean… We had a great view of the pool. Breakfast was good and Free. They also provide free wifi and airport transportation. We also took advantage of all the shopping Dadeland mall is just a few blocks away.

I have stayed at this property several times and wow the change to Rodeway is incredible. The new room furniture and hallways make it look like a 4 star hotel but at 2 star prices. I also enjoyed the free breakfast with eggs and sausage did I mention it was free. I must say the vast improvement in the hotel will make me a regular customer…

It’s so funny how so many people can have completely different experiences. My husband and I stayed here to attend our sons graduation from U Miami. I booked this through Expedia and picked it this for two reasons; it was 1 mile from the campus and it was $ 50 buck a night. I’m just gonna put it out there, I am cash poor from putting a kid through University of Miami. I read the reviews a week later and practically had a heart attack worrying about this place. It was not nearly as bad as many of you have complained. Our room was clean AND bug free. I know because I took the bed apart as soon as we checked in and I brought bags to put our luggage in «just in case». We also brought our own towels since other reviewers complained.
The staff was nice and professional. We saw maintenance workers every day/​all day making repairs. The maid staff came everyday and cleaned. My Wifi worked. My TV worked.
Why are people complaining about $ 8 per day parking? Stay at the Hyatt down town. $ 25 per day for valet parking so you get to tip on top of the $ 25. Or pay for street parking. It’s Miami, not Ohio people, you have to pay to park.
I have stayed at many hotels in Miami over the 4 years my son was in college. Some very nice ones and some that supposedly nice hotels that were not so nice (for the price). The cheapest hotel I have been able to find in all my times there was a $ 100 special at the Indigo and that was closer to the Miami/​Dade Mall.
And to Avery S, «CREEPY PEOPLE» you elitist snob. We stayed with other families and everyone was perfectly lovely. Okay, there was the one woman who was trying to push her way in front of me at the toaster but there is always one of those at the buffets.
Only a few minor complaints. Yes, the ceiling air handler did drip and we did have a little water on the floor so we used the bathmat on the spot. However, the maid took the mat each day and replaced it with a new one. Yes, the walls are a little thin. Again, that did not really bother us too much. What I thought was scrambled eggs was actually grits. I’m a pretty picky eater and grits is not on the list. Lastly, we would have loved to have had the bar open and enjoy a beverage around the pool.
Thanks to the hotel for painting the big U out front. How fun for the graduating families staying there. I would have used this hotel again in the future if my son had not graduated. However, now I’m off to find a good deal in Atlanta.

DO NOT STAY HERE
(Hotel now goes under the name «Rodeway Inn»)
My friend thought she was getting a deal through Hotwire ! What a joke.
Horrible horrible horrible smell. Smells like toxic mold.
Everything in the room is damp.
Very unprofessional staff… Guys at front desk were cussing, joking around… Checking this website where one of them was apparently trying to sell something … Smh… While the customers are waiting for them!
Stuff is broken, old, falling apart, stained …
Tv turns off when you turn off the main light !
You can hear EVERYTHING through the door and walls.
I’m not going to dip one toe in that swimming pool … And I will not try their breakfast … I’m honestly too scared I’ll get sick
I’ll be sleeping with a long sleeve shirt and sweats in case there is bed bugs.
Yep it’s that bad.

The mandatory $ 2 charge for the safe is kinda ridiculous, as I was not planning on using it. The free wifi is terrible and does not work half the time. The room itself is alright. There’s an ironing board in the room but no iron. I’ve been trying to get someone to bring one up to the room for hours with no success. Been down to the front desk twice.

We stayed here to be close to family. We made a reservations for a one night stay. The lobby is very nice. Front this reservation person was OK. He did not let us check in 20 minutes before. So we had to leave. Then we had to come back to check in. When we got to the room and open the door the room was very mildew smell in the room was half the sent we got two queen size beds. The air-​conditioner was at 50 it was freezing in the room The hotel needs a complete makeover it was dirty needs paint plaster was chipping when we got to the room there was not enough blankets to sleep. The hotel looks nice from the outside but it’s not as nice when you got into the rooms but I guess you get what you paid for. The hallways of the hotel on your floor are dirty dingy the carpet looks like it’s from 1980 it was disgusting it was dark. They gave free breakfast and the eggs were fake eggs. They didn’t have much of a choice for breakfast breakfast was from 7am to 9:00 am. The bathroom did not have much towels one bar soap no handcream no shower cap. There was no iron. The hotel was loud at night was not able to get a good nights rest. My new we have drove three hours to get there. When we woke up in the morning there was water all over the floor and it was coming out from the air conditioner vent and then on the side of the door inside the room from the wall from the ceiling it was water streaming down the wall. Upon checking out I told the front desk but there was water coming down the wall and the room smell like mildew and all the checkout person said oh I’m sorry. Nothing was district county all she said was thank you for staying here. We will never stay there again this place should not be allowing guess to stay here it should be close down and done over and then open. It’s in a good area but that’s about all. Once they do The makeover I wouldn’t mind trying it again but it has to be completely done the carpets done walls painted chip clean mildew smell gone then maybe I’ll consider staying here again

European-​style hotel here, I believe it’s owned by a Spanish company. Generous free breakfast from seven to nine. Two blocks to South Miami public library. Two blocks from South Miami Metrorail/​Metrobus station on US1. Across US1 is the Sunset Plaza mall plus assorted shops and restaurants along Sunset Drive.
Remember to add $ 8 a day for parking plus $ 2 a day for a safe plus room rate. Piano in lobby plus ornate glass elevator with view of courtyard. Friendly Hispanic staff. Hotel entry on 71^st Street and garage entry on 70^th Street. Must grab phone at garage entrance, hotel desk will answer and then open gate.

Just did a reservation for one night thru a website. When I called to confirm the reservation the person that picked up the phone answered with a very bad actitud and told me to cancel the reservation because i was not going to check in at that hotel at this time even I told him the reservation was made thru the web and that I was traveling and that we had just arrived. He was screaming at the phone saying to look somewhere else, not there.

Rooms have a terrible smell. I called the front desk to tell them the wifi didn’t work and they said «we have over 100 other guests and it’s working for them sonidk what you want me to do. «beds are hard rooms are out dated and rusty. I do not recommend this hotel at all.

This is the worst hotel ever my room is invested with roaches you get what you pay for… that’s not true I’ve stayed at motel 6 for $ 35 bucks a night different city’s and never seen a roach at motel 6… I should of booked the motel 6 instead cause its the Rits Carlton compared to this place

If I could give this place 0 stars or negative stars I would. All the rooms in the first floor smell like mold. And I mean heavy mold, the rest og the hotel smells disgusting. Only the lobby looks nice. Everything else is gross. my first room had spiders hanging from the a/​c unit. Carpets are gross, dirty, stained disgusting. Fake dirty plants on throughout the hotel. The towel they provide are maybe less than motel quality and the provide only 2 for a double occupancy 4 guest room. They charge 10 a day for parking plus 2.50 for safe. The safe is not optional. even if you don’t use it. You can hear loud and clear your neighbors through the walls… tried to cancel a night since I do not want to be here for the full 3 nights and they wouldn’t. Do not buy this from priceline either the service is below avceptable.

Big mistake staying there horrible hotel, old, dirty, and the name should be the worst experience in your life hotel.

This place is horrible, just like the other reviews said. Don’t be fooled by the lobby looks all nice and elegant. Our room was dirty, water was dripping from the ac unit to the floor, the tub was leaking water, there were little bugs stains on the wall. When
we were going to bed I sprayed the bed with disinfectant spray both me and my fiancé smelled something, after sniffing around it was the bed sheets that smelled like urine. We both slept on top of the clean blanket and was cold for the rest of the night. It was our last day/​night here in Miami and it was the worst experience. The located was okay near the mall and restaurants but the parking u have to pay I think it was $ 8 per day for it at the hotel, which I think is stupid it should be complementary. Never again will I come here I would rather say somewhere else.

I just want to chooses zero star, but I can’t. Never choose this hotel. You even want to sleep in car rather than there. Employees in front desk are awful and ridiculous. Just far away from there. Never and ever believe in the name of this hotel. Worst hotel

Just checked in after traveling all day long. It’s about midnight. Have a 7am flight across the country. We have one hand towel and that’s it. They don’t have ANY shower towels for us. We’d have to wait until 8am tomorrow morning. Seriously?! AC was blasting when we came in the room. It’s freezing. Heater is broken. Cool. Speaking of broken? Oh ya, we just got placed in the last king bed room (we booked two beds but they gave it away), and the key doesn’t work. The battery is dead and maintenance isn’t here to fix it. The guy had to come up and open the door for us. There is no lock from the inside. Room is disgusting. Ugh! What a pathetic business. Unbelievable.

DO NOT STAY HERE
unless I guess you really have no other option WHATSOEVER
–no soap rack
–workers who can’t really speak English
–room smelled like chlorine and cigarettes
–CREEPY GUESTS
–free wifi doesn’t work from room
–floors weren’t cleaned upon check in, likely never ever even cleaned
–just an uncomfortable & gross– feeling atmosphere
–paper thin walls (u can hear next room’s tv)
–overall disgusting beyond measure
(See my pictures)

All I can say is that you get what you pay for. We got a deal on this hotel through one of the travel sites, and to be honest I wasn’t expecting a lot from this hotel. It was quite funny, however, because the lobby itself is actually pretty beautiful. It’s quite the Miami-​style décor, with a pretty cool courtyard with a pool and restaurant in the front. Our room wasn’t great, the bed was a bit uncomfortable, and it was quite obvious that the rooms are a bit overworn. I probably wouldn’t recommend this hotel to many, but for people who don’t mind a not-​so-​nice-​but-​cheap place, it might be for you.

DO NOT STAY HERE! I had my passport, laptop, cash, hardrive, watch and everything valuable stolen from my LOCKED ROOM. There is a daily fee of 2 USD for a safe compulsory to your bill and the safe did not even work. Please! pay those few extra dollars for a hotel that hire staff that are trustworthy with a clean record and good reviews. This has been a nightmare that i want to be over but now I have to find a way to go to washington dc australian embassy. they had said they cant compliment me 2 nights as i have to wait for my police report and contact the consulate and sort out my things. so they have kicked me out after they have stolen my things. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE

Very affordable hotel to stay at if you’re going out for the night in Miami… Paid $ 59 on
for the room

If I can give zero star, I would give it to this hotel. Front desk staff are rude and they are not helpful. I asked them to change my bed sheet, It was not clean and looks like house keeper just flip the bed sheet, instead of changing it. such a lazy… I requested them to change my bed sheet in the morning and they haven’t changed it. then I called front desk and asked them my why bed is still haven’t changed and the man was like, «I don’t know, we don’t have house keeping.» I was shocked for second and he ignored me. Very disappointed and this will be my last stay with them. I totally booked wrong hotel.
Second, Their breakfast sucks, they don’t even have bread and tea. all they have is couple of apples, oranges, one choice of cereal (cheap one), and Coffee. I was like what the hexxxx. was it a breakfast?
Third, Rooms are smell really bad. I am not making this up. I am writing this in truth of what I have seen. Rooms smell really bad and stinks. Rooms next to us are loud and people were fight at night and It was totally not a vacation for us. also they charge extra for parking and TV was so old, sound shuts off itself while watching.
Finally, I am writing this review, because I don’t want anybody out there to get fool by this hotel. Please don’t book at this hotel and Stay away…
