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

My wife and I have been traveling to the keys for years. This is my first stay at the Econo Lodge in Florida City. I must say that this was by far the cleanest property I have been to. Even in better shape than a marriot I stayed at in Key Largo. The owners were nice enough, and the staff... More

Stay here on our way to the Everglades, had never stayed in an Econo Lodge before, but would now after this one.... Excellent. The staff were wonderful, everything was clean, great places to eat near by, and excellent value for money. Could not fault it. More

Great Employees! Now this is a great little bargain hotel. Clean, Clean, Clean....Clean as a whistle! Did I say Clean? It's so nice to save $, but have a great experience. It's a no frills roadside motel, but done just right! Inside access only to rooms. Quiet rooms, clean and fresh smelling sheets and towels, mini soaps, lotion, and shampoo,... More
