Motels in Florida, United States

On Balance Gilberts was ok but I would not want to stay more than a couple of days. We where probably not its target customers. The rooms where really nice with a great view but my sister was at the end of the block right by the sewage digester for the resort which made a humming noice which was audible in the room at night, it also smelt really bad in the mornings. Admiralty this could only be smelt outside the room. Suggestion screen the digester and put some filtration for the odour. Plus point they treat the sewage. Thursday night was Ok in the bar although the rock band thought they where playing a stadium, just way too loud, when they stopped and some normality returned the bar shut at 2100, Friday and Saturday, better music but the place was rammed with a lot of kids running around. We would have gone out but the resort is isolated and its almost impossible to get a cab, if you do its very expensive and no guarantee you can get one back. If you have a nominated driver than getting out is an option. Saturday the beach, the bar where just full to bursting, first stop on the Keys out of Miami. A lot of very drunk people having a good time which is fine but if you are not one of them its no fun at all. A visible police presence kept any potential trouble from happening. We where going to go to the pool but there was no room left in the water never mind the side. It is supposed to be for residents and they are supposed to ware a wrist band but that is not enforced, very few in anyone had a wrist band on. In short its not a bad place but don't go if you want a relaxed Keys vibe, stay away from the rooms at the end of the block and only go midweek but only do that if you want to be in bed at 2100. Good points, comfortable rooms, nice views, and very nice staff.

100% this for the solo traveler, not for families. Great location has its pitfalls from random people hanging out late nights and you're in location of construction going on around you. No security on site.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay but stayed at a sister property and would rather go back there instead of here. However, we LOVED the decor in the room the same! It was clean with no bugs and stains! While there was no office staff on site, the staff communication was excellent via text and phone. The housekeeping team was friendly and worked hard! Nevertheless, we found the other location better as it was closer to the trolley stop and beach and found the amenities were destroyed and in poor condition at this location so we were disappointed. Be careful if you ride the bikes because the chain broke off on two of 4 bikes and that happened to us at the sister property and to people staying there too so just be warned! The pool was not the refreshing cool I hoped for at the sister property but felt like warm bath water and was smaller so overall, I enjoyed the sister property better. The location was also close to the street and we heard motorcycles speeding at night so if you can't sleep with noise, you will struggle. Be warned if the bugs! Mosquitos/ noseums. They are intense so take big repellent. Our neighbors were filthy and nasty and never cleaned up, leaving garbage outside and towels everywhere but I can't blame the property for that. It would be nice if there were rules to prevent that.

Nice stay. We had a queen room at the back of the building, so it was relatively quiet. Not a large room, but spacious enough for my husband and I. The rooms are renovated to update an old motel and they did a good job with the theme of the pink tropical flamingo to lean into that retro esthetic. Shower was nice. Only downside was that the room had a bit of a musty smell. When we arrived the sheets were damp. Not sure of it was high humidity which caused it, but we contacted the support staff and they resolved it promptly, having the on-site housekeeping staff bring new sheets. There is also a dehumidifier in the room, so it does seem like something they are addressing. Was also excited about the coffee machine in the lounge room as other reviews had noted for a quick cup of decent coffee on the go. I was satisfied with the fresh espresso, but my husband was a little disappointed that their machine wasn't making the milk based drinks properly (probably out of milk for the days we were there?) And had to use artificial milk/creamer instead. All and all a 4/5 stars stay.

The wifi was possibily the worst I’ve ever had at a hotel. Mosquitos in the room with no way of finding how they were getting in and nothing to remove them. Could hear every time someone flushed the toilet in another bathroom

If you're traveling alone and want to save money, this is probably sufficient (I only stayed one night as I only needed a place to sleep), but it really only has the bare minimum facilities, so I wouldn't recommend using it for anything else. Don't expect too much. (The location is good, being between the Disney parks and the airport/train station, and there are a few restaurants within walking distance. Other reviews mentioned inconsistent service from the reception staff, but I was checked in and checked out by the same female staff member, and I'd give her about 4 stars for her service.)

There was an issue with the first room we were placed in when we first arrived. But in less than 10 minutes we had already been checked into a new room and had finished unpacking for the stay.

I was unable to attend my conference due to illness. I notified Trip.com well within the 24hr. GMT cancellation period but they refused to refund even 1/2 the total. I'll never use Trip.com again.
