Solid place to stay. Very quiet and off the beaten path with a wealth of amenities. The staff were kind. However, check in takes too long and I wasn’t informed of the $150 deposit. I was told it may take up to 30 days to return. The rooms are a bit dated but they’re nice. My light didn’t work but there were several lamps. There’s a dollar tree and family dollar across the street but not much else within walking distance. Good if you have a car or maybe with friends as the amenities are robust.
I generally stay here the night before cruising out of Miami. This time I was given a room upstairs. This hotel for the love of God, needs to add an elevator. I'm over 70 yrs old and dragging luggage up a flight of stairs is not in my travel plans. The room I had this time smelled of mold. Luckily I travel with an air purifier in my luggage so that saved me and I was able to tolerate the odor. They just need to shampoo the carpet with some vinegar, baking soda and kill the mold growing in the room. The hotel was clean and so was the room. They offer transportation to the Port of Miami for a very low price (aprox $14/per person). So the inconvenience paid off. We walked to the IHOP restaurant which was about 2 blocks away for dinner. There's a McDonalds next door on the other side of the property. The Ramada also has its own restuarant but we chose to walk to IHOP. The location is convenient and I'll continue to use this hotel but will bring air freshener with me on the next trip and make sure to request a room on the first floor. The price is good for a one night stay. Other hotels in the surrounding area were much too expensive for a one night stay. Also they have a free shuttle that runs on the hour. If you're arriving after 10 pm just take an UBer.
