Gables Inn

-The young man and the owner in the office going above and beyond to get me into a room as soon as possible because none were ready at the time.(I arrived a bit early) -Cleanliness. Housekeeping cleaned & sanitized everything, left fresh towels, linen, swept and mopped the floors everyday so it smelled fresh everytime you came in the door after a long day. -The price for a few days was cheaper than expected being that it's a pretty upscale area.

Noise of the trains nearby running after 12am. Traffic in the morning and the end of the day.

We had this one AMAZING housekeeper who just had a beautiful heart. She would always come and check up on me and my children to make sure we had everything we needed. She would just go the extra mile for us, and I hope she knows how immensely grateful we are to have had her during our stay. The gentleman in the main office with the beard was very kind and patient in my personal situation. I couldn't have asked for more. As for the hotel room itself, it's a generic room, nothing fancy. It is outdated with old furniture, but you do have a microwave and a mini-fridge with a freezer in the room. We had 2 queen beds that did its job, and our room was located in the perfect spot for us. We didn't hear traffic noises from our room, and I will say we couldn't hear anyone next or above us. The most sound we heard was someone moving their chair above us from time to time but nothing serious. Location wise, it's at a great spot. You can park your car there or if you want to take the metro rail you'll have to take about a 10-15 min walk, again no big deal. Also, walking distances are restaurants, Starbucks, CVS, and even a technology repair shop! <- Those are all located between the motel and Metro rail stop. There are cameras all over the property for your safety and security.

Doors are not sealed. There was a day when a power washer was used to do some work, and the water shot right through the gap between the door and doorway. (Housekeeping came on their own for the cleanup). There was a night someone must have been smoking Marijuana because the smell entered our room somehow. I was angry about that, considering I have my children in the room. From time to time (not every day, I promise), Palmetto Bugs (dinosaur looking roaches 😱) got into our room. I hate those freaking things. 😒 Needless to say, my kids and I would freak the f*** out! We seriously hate those dinosaurs (that's what we called them)! So we would put a towel to block the gaps, which helped a lot. For sure, the door frames need to be thicker or add seals to the door.

I liked that it was good value/pricing for the areas. I like tile floorings, and decor colors.

Tile needs updated some areas.

Really nice accommodation, in a great area. The check-in staff member was very helpful and friendly, and gave me a room as per my request - thanks very much for this, I appreciated it very much. It is a short walk from the nearby University Metrorail station, with easy links to Downtown and Miami Airport. There are some good eateries and self-catering shops next to the Metrorail station too. The room was spacious, clean and quiet, and I had a lovely stay there. Thank you very much.

Location & how easy it was to book. Also the staff was very friendly & accommodating. The pillows were very nice!

The bed was kind of hard. But not terribly bad.

It is in a safe area and easy to drive to downtown Miami.

Internet and TV. I could not use my internet in this room. However I stayed in another room a few months ago and did have internet.

Clean and comfortable room. Internet and cable available.

Some things in the room looked run down, but it was expected for the price I paid. The air conditioning hit the bed directly. It’s in front of a busy street so you hear cars driving by all-night-long. Will bother if you are a light sleeper.

The staff is friendly, respectful and efficient. If you have a child at the University of Miami, you are less than a mile away. If you want to keep the car parked, the Metro to downtown Miami is right across the street from the University. Calle Ocho? Coconut Grove? Coral Gables? All are within spitting distance.

There isn't anything we didn't like, but people looking for luxe accommodations SHOULD NOT stay here. The inn is very clean and comfortable, but it isn't a 5 star resort. Go in with the correct expectations and you won't be disappointed at the value you get for your money.

The room was very roomy, clean, i love the fact that it had tile floors throughout the room and not carpet. The room smelled very cleaned. It had a decent size dorm size fridge, microwave. No one bothered me and I did not hear a lot of noise from the neighbors as you norm do hear from hotels with customers making noise throughout the hallways.

I had a bad connection with the cable. The channels that I were able to view kept stopping or looking for connection. So I didnt get to watch tv much during my stay.

I stayed there for 4 nights while being a traveler from Chicago Illinois. It was really great, affordable, their rooms were big and comfortable, and it was right by the train station which made it easy to commute all around the Dade county. There is road noise due to the fact that this hotel is directly next to a busy intersection, it doesn't bother me while I'm in the room but it will be loud if you decide to eat outside. It's cheap and affordable Ahmad is a good manager there and he will lead you in the right direction

The only thing that I didn't like was that they don't have all the things a regular hotel would have (pool, continental breakfast although they do have coffee) but you get what you pay for
