“It's ok”

Coconut Grove Motor Inn

Aug 8, 2008

Well, for starters, The room was ok, some mold was on the walls, the shower water came out very slow & there was a hole, which leaked above the sink. The staff was very friendly and always had fresh towels delievered everyday. Never had to ask for anything. The only problem I had was there were scooters going up & down the breezeway, some late at night. If you want a cheap & pretty clean place just to lie your head, I would choose here. Plus, it's not that far from the beach, a nice walk actually. I would stay here again.

“Roach Motel”

Coconut Grove Motor Inn

Nov 9, 2006
2/2 found this review helpful

The sign in the lobby NO REFUNDS should have been a tip.
We walked in flipped the light switch and nothing happened, no lightbulb in the fixture.
We fumbled around and found a switch for the wall lamp over in the middle of the room and when we switched it on the walls were crawling with german roaches. They were crawling out of the television, they were in the bathtub, they were even under the rim in the toilet as my wife found out. After spraying some repellent I had all around the bed, I pulled the nasty spread off and brought my sleeping bags in to have a clean place to sleep.
If it wasn't so late and it took an hour to get anywhere because of road blockage due to a marathon going on, we would have just left.

“A Place for Spring Breakers”

Coconut Grove Motor Inn

May 10, 2006
3/3 found this review helpful

Eight other friends and I stayed at this motel and didn't expect much for the price we were being charged, but expected a little bit more than what we were offered. This is a place for spring breakers which we were. They didn't care about what we did which was a plus because we were in Florida to party. We had to ask for towels everyday and our beds were never made. The staff brought their children to work with them. The staff was very nice though. It is pretty far from the beach which I didn't expect since I was told it was across the street. I would never have stayed there for anything else other than spring break. The rooms were dimly lit and dirty. There were also bugs. Don't expect much from the place except friendly staff and good place to party.

“Mold, poop, and no locks”

Coconut Grove Motor Inn

May 9, 2006
1/1 found this review helpful

We walk in the room and the air was so thick, we look on the walls and all we see is mold. We close the door, and there is a crack in the door. Then we look at the door and one of the locks no longer works. The room was supposed to be non-smoking but smelled like smoked (but it smelled like smoke and a bunch of other crap). The toliet seat had poop on it, the shower was clogged up. For paying as much as we do for this hotel, I expected something much better, but I guess with a name of Motor Inn you else would you expect. I recommend this place to no one!!!!!!!!!!! It is a nasty piece of crap. I did feel sorry for the hotel manager though, she was the manager and was so short staffed that she had to clean the room herself. She was the only good thing about the hotel.

“Go Somewhere Else!!!”

Coconut Grove Motor Inn

May 8, 2006
1/1 found this review helpful

My experience with this hotel was terrrible. I made reservations for 2 nights and stayed only one (1) night. For my health and safety, I shouldn't have stayed even the one night. The room was mildewed, there was wide gap openings in the door. This place was not maintained. Motorcylces were driven down the walks at all hours of the night. I am ashamed of myself for even staying that one night with my young grandson.

This place needs to be brought up to habitable standards.

I made reservations a month in advance. At the time I made the reservations I asked about cleanliness, noise from other hotel users. I was told the facility was top notch and they respect the privacy and comfort of their customers. I called again a week before I was due to stay at the hotel. Once again, I am told this is a great place. I don't trust pictures on the Internet. This further confirms my belief...don't trust the Internet!
