This is acceptable hotel - clean, renovated, nice staff. Location is fine - there are Walmart and Premium Outlets next to the hotel. The only inconvinience is the breakfast time -till 9 am, definitely too early, and the price could be lower. More

We needed a basic motel/ hotel for our day trips to the Everglades. We booked two nights initially but ended up staying 4 nights. The staff were always helpful. The place was pretty spotlessly clean in the common areas and bedroom. The room was fine- spacious with plenty of room for all our luggage and a full sized cotbed. The... More

We stayed here for one night for a tip to the Everglades. We had planned for two nights, but decided to cut the visit short after seeing the hotel. The location is convenient, but not pretty - it's right next to the highway, and the small pool faces the highway. What turned us off mostly was the dim lighting in... More

After traveling to the BIG CITY of Miami (Cutler Ridge area/ Pembrook Pines) and finding ABSOLUTELY nothing to stay in and if there was availability I'm not even sure we would have felt safe staying there, we hopped on the Turnpike for a short 10 minute drive to this Econo Lodge. I do have to stay, I have never stayed... More

Yes, it was clean and had hot water with good pressure. But an indicator of how they feel about guests is that the best parking spot is reserved for the manager. Checking in and out took entirely too long. The clerk (manager?) probably repeated my room number 6 times as he SAT there figuring my final bill. Something that looked... More

This place is a waste of money. The rooms and hallways reek of cigarettes, the breakfast is dismal and the service is terrible. It was very crummy overall. Housekeeping woke us up even though we had the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. I guess they can't read. At "breakfast" (generous name for watered-down orange juice and off-brand cereal)... More

We visited the area in December, which accounts for the incredibly high prices on all hotels. So we chose this hotel because the price was relatively affordable and the reviews were somewhat positive. Ooops. It was more expensive than the Hampton Inn in Ft Myers (which was a great hotel) and was slightly better than sleeping in our car. Though... More
