2-Star Hotels in Florida, United States

I’m my opinion, this is a basic 2-3 star hotel located a few miles from Miami airport and other city sights. Relatively clean. Okay for the price. Front desk employees were nice and diligent. Rooms are a little dark even though they have multiple individual lamps. Magnetic room keys were not working for my and many of the hotel guests who checked in at the same time as me. They had to send some one from security to open our rooms with master key. For a short stay and if you are looking for an okay-budget hotel in Mimia area, this is an option that works.

My wife and I were going on a cruise and wanted to be sure we were on time for embarkation. So we booked 2 nights at the Red Carpet Inn so we would have a buffer against travel delays. Sure enough, we had weather related flight delays, so I called the Red Carpet Inn. Though hard to understand, the lady that answered the phone assured me that the first night would be cancelled. When we got there the next day, very tired from a redeye flight, I tried to register for the second night early to get some rest. ”NO CHECK-IN BEFORE 3PM!” was the emphatic reply. So we waited. Room was OK, and the shuttle worked out well. We made the embarkation just fine. When I got home, and looked at my credit card bill, they had charged me for the day that we WEREN'T allowed to check in til 3pm..... so I paid for a room they refused to allow me to use. When I wrote to them, they denied that the call and cancellation had been made, and refused to remove the charge. VERY FRUSTRATING.

For self-driving travelers, the location is super good and the price is moderate. There is a 24-hour Wal-Mart supermarket nearby. You can buy pizza and seafood and process them in your room. It was just that the plane would pass by the roof and the sound was a bit loud. I stayed for 5 nights and got used to it. Breakfast is normal American standards, Chinese people may not be used to it, Miami food is generally heavy taste, saltiness and sweetness can be as high as hou. Free parking.

Its a new building so everything is sparkling clean. Check in is quick and easy. They have problems with their system at first because it gave the receptionist a not made room. He gave us another room. Its spacious, new beddings, has a fridge, tv and a microwave. No hairdryer, but i dont mind it. I highly recommend this place. I love that the he printed a sketch to where your room is located and parking is just in front the room door. It's pretty secure, i dont see any ***** hanging outside the property. There's a lot of cctv on the premises, i saw it in front of reception and i think i saw a security guard (I'm not sure but that person looks like it, I maybe wrong because I didnt ask) No loud music that i heared. With the price, you cant beat the value. The only feedback i could give to management is to change the bed frames, its not solid. It moves and creates noise. No breakfast but has a coffee maker in the receiving area. You need to pay for Kcup vending machine.

Our excellent experience at the Tru began before we even arrived. Julissa and Dia both assisted in making sure that our accommodations for the week were just what we needed. Upon arrival everyone was courteous and eager to let us know that they were there to help in any way. Our room had a wonderful view of the pool, Biscayne Bay in the distance, and downtown Miami. Speaking of the room, it was the perfect size for us, with a comfortable king bed, large tv, and clean throughout (and kept well clean during our 1-week stay by housekeeping team). We very much appreciated the complimentary hot breakfast, and what made the breakfast especially tasty and fresh were the number of hotel team members making sure that all food options were available (e.g. eggs, bagels, english muffins, fruit, and coffee ALL restocked as needed throughout the breakfast service.) The pool was my favorite place to relax during the day. Ample towels and umbrellas were available, pool deck was kept clean, and the pool water was clean, cool, and refreshing. In summary between the lovely room accommodations, outstanding complimentary breakfast, great loaction (just a short walk from Brickell center), relaxing pool area, and most of all, the highly professional and courteous hotel team - from leadership across all levels - the Tru is an exceptional value for short or long stays in Miami.

The hotel is renovated and accommodations were fine and it is one of the better quality hotel choices in the busy and very touristy Orlando center. Also, breakfast selection was surprisingly good and plentiful for the typical selection for the Holiday Inn Express brand. The reasons for not giving the hotel 5 stars are below: 1) the bathroom sink in the room was clogged upon check in. 2) guests were allowed to consume alcohol and to smoke heavily in the pool area right next to many small children and other guests who did not appreciate being exposed to second hand smoke. As a public health policy, smoking should only be allowed in remote designated areas and not in the pool ares which is full of small children. 3) At times there was no staff at the reception and the staff that I did communicate with either spoke very poor English (or none at all, the assumption was that everyone should be speaking Spanish) or appeared to be genuinely disinterested and didn't pay attention to customers' concerns.

Much better than 1st time. Hotel is under remodel.. They just finished their pool and it looks great.. They're working on the roof. The rooms still need some work. But they are coming a long way. Price is right. There is a deposit which is I believe $50. You do get it back and roughly about 7 to 10 days depending on your credit card. It is not pet friendly unless you have a service dog. Hotel is right before the Orlando health Doctor Phillips. Rooms come with a microwave and a Mini refrigerator. They do serve a breakfast that you must eat out front. You cannot take it back to your room. All their handicapped rooms or on the 1st floor.

If you are looking for a reasonable place to stay this is it! The staff were fantastic, the room was immaculate and the beds were very comfortable. We spent the day at Disney Springs, headed back to the hotel to check in before we went for dinner. Upon arrival the front desk staff was so welcoming and polite. We have my aunt who is a senior with us and asking for a main floor room was absolutely no problem. Once we finished check in, I asked about places to eat around the hotel, the staff ( which I didn't catch his name) was super helpful and told us about many places right near the hotel and even more places to eat if we were willing to take a quick drive down the highway. My daughter wanted Olive Garden( not my personal choice m) so we decided to do that, which was only a few minutes away. On our way out I asked Franklin about some attractions in the area and he too was very helpful along with a woman named Taleisha. Once back to the hotel my Aunt took a shower and commented on how great the water pressure was and that the tub was sparkling. We all talked about how clean the bathroom was and that it smelled clean too(which was a big deal to us lol) I don't sleep well on a good day, so each time I woke and left the room to air outside the front desk staff said hello and was friendly too. Breakfast is your standard continental breakfast which is perfect for us as we were heading to Universal and didn't want to be weighed down with a glutinous breakfast . Overall I highly recommend and would absolutely stay again!

Such a great, considerate, helpful staff! Rooms and grounds clean and SAFE! Right near anything you could possibly need.

My toilet was not flushing, the manager, Lilia, the most horrible human I have had the misfortune to encounter not only tried to blame me for the mess of poop the plumber left in the floor but also told me that due to the mess the room was now out of order and “there were no more rooms” (although her co worker, Angel, clearly told multiple people there were rooms in Spanish) I was made to leave the hotel because they sold me a room with a messed up toilet and then proceeded to belittle me blaming the mess on me. Unbelievable. I don’t get my money back for a week and I had just enough to pay for the room, so now I get to sleep in my car for the weekend, Lilia, I pray your karma is swift. What a terrible person to represent your company. I truly believe these people are scamming their guests also, but that’s another review.

Great customer service at front desk.

Old , outdated and dirty. This hotel needs serious maintenance. Duct tape , mold, damaged walls , old carpeting and curtains . Don’t let the photos on booking sites fool you . It’s cheap for a reason . Only positive is the location or it would be ZERO stars . Won’t stay here again.

Great Hotel, clean and in a great location to tour Miami in the most characteristic areas. Good breakfast too, if you don't go to the beach it's the best because the area is great between shops and connections.

Up Inn is a simple hotel with 2 to 3 floors. The windows are not easy to open. There are green plants outside the windows. Open the door and you can go directly to the corridor outside. No one was at the front desk at night.

The landscaping was extremely well maintain, the service was curtious and effecient but the small in the two rooms that we were offered was discusting; it smell way beyond humidity, it actually smelled moldy. We were offered a first room and after entering it less then à minutes, we decided that were not gonna stay there so we shared the reason with the front desk employé wh8ch was very undestanding and changed our room right awaya but the second room smell was just as bad. That was a big turn off for us. The breakfast offer was prettu basic but ok. Only there was barely no air conditionned seats.

Staff was friendly everyday the housekeeping staff would greet me with a smile, the front desk and kitchen staff were also friendly. The hotel is in a convenient location, it's 10 mins away from the malls and to Doral city place.

The hotel is relatively new. There is nothing to complain about the free breakfast, which is a standard American breakfast. The room cleaning is average. I left a tip on the first day, but the trash was not collected. I stayed for three consecutive days, and the room provided free water. If you don't ask, they won't give you new water. Parking is free, which is more friendly than those hotels that charge for parking. It is convenient to go to Disneyland, and it only takes more than 10 minutes. The hotel also has a shuttle bus, but the frequency is not high. It is recommended to drive here

Customer service was very good and friendly. Very helpful. Room smelled like mildew and mold. Shower looked under repair and shower floor surface was rough and sharp from what looked like some repair material. In-room phone didn’t work so had to keep going back and forth to the office desk when I needed assistance. (Also yes, used my cell phone) refrigerator never got cold and my food spoiled, what didn’t spoil carried the stench smell of what ever smelled bad in the fridge from before I got there. Air from the HVAC unit also smelled like it was pumping out mold. Very disappointed and feel bad for those who work there. Everyone was very friendly and tried to keep it cheerful.

Overall, the hotel was nice and very near to MCO airport. Just about 10 minutes. The room is clean and lobby has many equipments like microwave and free coffee

This hotel has excellent location It is near Universal and Sea World There are lots of restaurants near by The rooms are very clean and spacious The staff at the Front Desk are Very nice and friendly Special mention to Sarmone. She gave me a nice room On the 5th floor She also gave me a nice Welcome Gift for being a Diamond member Parking is free And, it has lots of well lighted Parking spaces I feel safe parking my car during the night

Booked the hotel as it is very close by the airport. The location is excellent 5 mins walk across the airport but the room is a bit run down and smell. I checked other hotels nearby and surestay price is lower in comparison. It is definitely over priced at $160. Better stay downtown and take link next time I come to Seattle.

Nice quiet and comfortable room. The gentleman checking me in was very kind. The rest of my experience was lackluster. No food vending machines. Drink machine on my floor didn't work. When I asked the desk clerk he said there were no machines. I have a mystery charge on my debit card. Upon checkout I could not store a suitcase while I took my service animal to another hotel. All together I would stay there again, however the carpet is old and makes it hard to breathe.

Do not stay here. This is possibly the worst hotel in America and that’s saying something. To start off the hotel sign is not correct, the security “guard” was a fat guy vaping outside and doing nothing to shoo away the homeless guys sleeping by the building. The room was paid for on ******* but the night manager made us pay a $50 cash security deposit that had to be exact change and told us we could get it back at 9am. I had to drive all over looking for a place that was open to break a $20 so I could give exact money. Room is sad, don’t want to imagine what a black light would reveal….

The hotel rooms are large and the surrounding environment is good. Many American families spend their holidays here. It is close to the exhibition hall. If you want to see the surrounding environment, you can walk to the exhibition hall, about 30 minutes. The downside is that breakfast is not delicious.

The hotel is just fine for an overnight stay as it is located 11 minutes from the airport. Which is convenient for us who had a flight with a late arrival. Parking is free. The breakfast is simple, correct and included. The security service is good as there is a guard watching the hotel day and night. Cockroaches? Yes we have seen it. Given the heat and humidity, that must explain their presence on the ground floor, but that shouldn't allow the staff to ignore their presence, leaving one the night of our arrival until the morning of our departure. The bedroom is large, the two queen beds are perfect for a family of four.

Hotel is in a good location as opposite the icon wheel and on international drive. There is also a bus direct from the airport The room felt dirty and the areas around the rooms are unclean The staff aren’t the most friendly either Definitely a place for being on a tight budget
