We thought it was like crashing at your crazy aunt's house...when she's out of town. It's a kooky joint and felt pretty deserted when we were there. And I don't mean just a lack of other guests. No one seem to work there either. What made all the quirkiness acceptable for us was the price we got. It was the... More

I MUST write this after reading Some of the other peoples reviews. We just finished three days at the Inn, in summary, Exactly what I expected, Exactly what I needed, Exactly what I'd do again and again. So the furniture is an older style, the bed had a little sag in the middle, WE like it that way (just like... More

I just finished a work trip staying at the Inn for a week. The Inn has been operating as an Inn since the beginning of Miami, over a 100 years ago and in a sense, it shows. What I mean is that it is an old wood building furnished with antiques, and with all the usual quirky issues of a... More

This review follows the last of three or four visits my wife and I spent at the Miami River Inn since the mid-1990s. It is inspired by a few recent reviews which reveal unrealistic expectations and failure to appreciate what the Inn has to offer. Instead of one reviewer's "quaint country inn", one finds a fenced, gated compound at the... More

I read several reviews before booking and gave this place a try to be away from the fancy miami hotels. We thought a quaint country Inn would be fun and have character. First of all the area is not to safe , we saw glass from smashed in car windows, so do yourself a favour and pay to park in... More

I am here at the Miami River Inn right now as I am writing this. Of course this is not the Taj Mahal - it is not intended to be. There is nothing wrong with it however ! It is just like so many other B&B type establishments that are often referred to as "quaint" - having "character" - "shabby... More

Upon my second visit I realized this is my fav staycation place. Nestled by the Miami River and featured in the movie "Marley and Me" it is a hidden gem. Gated among the banyan trees there are several buildings circling the property. The staff is helpful and kind. Huge swimming pool and yard in the middle. Very economical and able... More

I went to the Miami River Inn to stay Friday thru Sunday. When I first went there I thought that Expedia made a mistake. I arrived at about 9:50pm. The neighborhood was dark and scary. The place has a black gate around the hotel. I felt like I had to keep looking over my shoulder for fear that someone would... More

So when you go to Miami you expect art deco hotels (probably a little over priced), places like the Delano and then a few hostels scattered about. Miami River Inn is a little touch of something else. Its more like a Bed and Breakfast/Guest House in many ways. Its a small collection of large historic houses all on the same... More

My daughter-in-law booked this B&B because we needed a place we could park a boat trailer and she likes B&Bs. They arrived early in the day but we arrived late at night only to see a bunch of homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks less than 2 blocks away. The property has a high fence around it but is in... More
