Hotel Roma

This is by far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed out. You get what you pay for. During our stay we saw about three or four roaches on the dresser and one ran under the tv. Everything in the hotel from the décor and the tv are quite old. They should put as much effort into their indoor décor as their outdoor décor. The sink and bathtub were dirty as were the towels. There was no wifi and the phone and beside lamp didn’t work. It was quite noisy with a lot of people smoking in the front of the hotel. I wasn’t expecting much from this place considering the price but I could’ve done without the roaches.

We booked this hotel and did not read the reviews… Lesson learned!
The hallways smell gross and damp probably full of mildew and mold, tons of other issues not even worth mentioning because… We checked out sooner then check out because we could not imagine spending one more second in this place because they have ROACHES!!!
PS: the wifi doesn’t work
Gave one star because you can’t give a no star rating.

Alright, I could be very generous right now. First of all, you do get what your paid for. I was coming here with a group of friends to have a place to crash after a music festival. That’s it. If you’re looking for something 5 star, the price alone should’ve told you that you were in the wrong section. Yes, this hotel is garbage. The hallways smell like piss, the rooms are absolutely disgusting, and the front desk guy doesn’t know how to do his job. For the price, it served its purpose. Saved us from a DUI since we all drove from Orlando. Yes, the bathrooms are disgusting, the TV’s are old, and we couldn’t even find a phone in the room. You get what you pay for. 2 stars is generous. If I would’ve found a roach, then it would’ve been a 1 star. I’m not saying there wasn’t any, we just couldn’t find them.

The worst customer service ever! My fiancé and I purchased a hotel room with 2 beds prior to getting there. We get there after the dolphins game and the night person at the desk was so rude and didn’t care attitude. He told us the only rooms he had available was a single bed! So we explained we purchased a double bed and told us there’s nothing he can do. No one should spend their money here for rude service. Your probably better off spending more money at another hotel where they have respect for their guest. Absolutely horrible and never again! Stay away from this dump!

My brother-​in-​law had booked this place for my sister and I without checking reviews. He thought that hotels would be safer and have better amenities. All I can say is, «lol».
As we drove into the hotel parking lot I was vaguely impressed with the exterior. However that all changed once we stepped foot into the lobby. It was very shabby and there were people laying around on the couches. I wasn’t sure if they were employees, patrons, or what.
The elevators looked and sounded like something straight out of a horror movie. They are very small, full of stains from God knows what, and extremely loud. As we pulled our luggage down the hallway we passed a room that was wide open with everything in the hallway. Whether the room was just being refurbished or the occupants were being thrown out I have no idea. I just remember the rude comment aimed towards us.
When we finally got to our room it was reeking of cigarette smoke and the window was open. I was very upset. We closed the window and turned on the AC in hopes of diminishing the smell. However after less than 30 minutes of being in there my sister went to the front desk to ask for a room change.
Shortly afterwards, one of the guys from the front desk came to check on what was wrong with our room. As soon as he stepped in he said the lingering smell of cigarettes started to give him a headache. It was that intense! We quickly were given a different room.
A few things I noticed so far was that each room seemed to have a jacuzzi right next to the bed. My sister actually wanted to try it out. Ours in the new room was missing a cold switch. Since there was only hot water coming out of the tap we actually transferred cold water from the bathroom tub to even out the temp. I threw in the free soaps and man those were probably expired. It smelled weird and was rubbery. As soon as we turned on the jets I realized our efforts were not worth it. The jets are not only weak but extremely loud.
Those weren’t the only issues I had. The lighting was terrible. We had but 2 lamps in the room that worked. The TV was an old box TV that was from the early 90s. The bed itself felt so cheap. Oh and did I mention roaches? In the morning when I brushed my teeth I saw a huge fellow hiding under my things on the counter. Also when my sister and I were in the midst of getting ready and changing one of the cleaners came knocking on the door. I didn’t respond fast enough and the cleaner started to open the door with her key card. Wow. I’m glad I used the top cross lock.
I would never come here again. I do not recommend it to anyone and I feel like we were probably fools to have stayed the night after so many red flags. One star for the quick room change.

Very Out of date, poor service, things are broken in hotel like outlets, light bulbs etc. Feels Dirty, police coming to hotel. People yelling in hallways. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

This place was like a ghetto version of the shinning movie. finding a small child in my room holding a knife saying ‘redrum’ would have fit right in. the decour and furnishings have not been updated since the late 70s. when i arrived at the hotel there were 4 security guards roaming the grounds. It went downhill from there…
the room: broken telephone, broken hot tub, broken clock radio and no working wi-​fi. It was one of those rooms where you didnt want to touch anything that you were not sure was a freshly washed sheet or a surface that you wiped down yourself. Even the TV remote was sticky.
as i went out on the patio outside my room i realized how low-​end the place really was. People standing arguing in the public pool area. several windows open with people hanging out them yelling at people at the pool. one room in particular, the screen was broke and half hanging out the window … inside there was a major screaming match going on between a guy and girl.
I had my door knocked on 4 times during the night. at 6am the noise started in the hall. The banging resembled someone rolling suitcases down a flight of wooden steps outside my door. that continued until about 730 when i got up, packed up my stuff and left.
I will never return.
only stay in this hotel if you regularly carry a fire-​arm when you travel. Don’t go anywhere near this place with kids.

Cheap hotel. Keep the lights on or you’ll see how bad the Roaches are. 4 channels on the TV.

I booked this property on Hotwire which promoted it as a 2 ½ star property. Since Hotwire doesn’t reveal the name until after you buy it that’s all I knew when I purchased the room. My experience is that you can’t go wrong with a 2 ½ star hotel. Well I was wrong…
Why? Well mainly because it is NOT a 2 ½ star property. This is a place that you try to stay away from if you are a respectable person. Words like seedy, old, decrepit, etc. come to mind. I questioned the safety aspect while staying here but experienced no problem. My room was large in size with an average size bathroom. However there was a small 5,000 btu ac trying to cool the room and it wasn’t being successful. My room never cooled down and I was only comfortable when I was lying in bed. When I would stand up the air at my head level was warm.
The only nice thing to say was that the front desk staff was nice along with the maintenance man who looked at my ac.
I would not stay here again. It’s a low rent type of place.

Ghetto, loud, dirty. Outside looks great but inside you are greeted with small roaches. Also includes loud neighbors that think they own the damn place, playing music outside the hallway, talking on the phone, screaming. The people that stay here have no sense of manners and respectabilities. Thats why its ghetto. filthy disgusting ghetto, like an unkempt apartment of a drug dealer.

The hotel is located in an on location. The pictures on theirs or any travel site doesn’t show the age of the place. The room looked nice until I laid down on the king size mattress that was very worn out. The room came with a whirlpool tub, that didn’t work. The tv was old and most channels were very fuzzy with a none working remote.

Aweful! Priceline reviews said this place was clean and people rated it 4 out of 5. Do not believe them. A night here maybe worth $ 25. TV sucks, beds and bedding are paper thin. Go somewhere else.

Stay somewhere else. Old, run down, dirty & in a bad area. Service was good but I wouldn’t tell anyone to stay here. If you are going to the game I’d say to find a nicer place a bit farther from the stadium.

You truly get what you pay for. The hotel is located in a shady area, the sheets were too small for the bed, stains on the floor, broken TV remote (that they didn’t replace), not all of the channels worked, the bed sounded like it was broken.

As the previous reviewer mentioned this is as cheap as it gets in Miami it appears ($ 150)! With that said, you get what you pay for. The «resort» is possibly a resort for people from the hills, swamp, or anyplace that doesn’t have access to the real world. This is at best a low end hotel. The staff was friendly and without a doubt happy to see you. Finding a room was hard coming at the tail end of spring break and a large triathlon the following morning on South Beach. This is a slight drive from the beaches so I figured that wouldn’t be a huge problem. Everything is dated in the entire hotel. From the furniture to the televisions. We stayed in the «Corporate Suite». The room was large which had to accommodate the likely over 60″ projection tv right at the foot of the bed. It was scary how big Gretta Van Sustren’s face is and close to the bed to boot, I may require therapy. I am sure that in the 1970s this was a happening place. There oddly enough were not options for internet put perhaps downstairs with a lobby full of kids. The continental breakfast was a few bagels, some cereal, and coffee, juice, and milk. Nothing much but better than nothing. Overall, it was a place to stay cheaper than everything else I had seen. At least the sheets were clean.

From the dark street it sits on to the lifeless plants at its entrance, this hotel LOOKS and FEELS abandoned. There were no working phones in ANY of the rooms during my 2-​night stay and only 1 functional ice-​maker on the top floor. I had to move from my first room because water had leaked through a LONG crack on the ceiling (mind you, it hadn’t rained in days) and it soaked the carpet near the door and bathroom. The sinks were clotted in both rooms and the carpets were badly stained. The windows were draped in curtains that had loose hems and furry strands hanging at the bottom. The sheets on EVERY bed were not at all FITTED so they came off very easily and one of my pillow cases had stains on it. During the continental breakfast I almost broke the old-​looking cereal dispenser during my attempt to make it work and after all my efforts (and finally getting some cereal out the damn thing) I couldn’t even eat it because the milk tasted spoiled.
On a positive note, the beds were comfy and I was able to watch ESPN and HBO.
This place is just raggedy and sits in the middle of nowhere. Not really worth the price. I would recommend you look into El Palacio which is about 2 – 3 miles west of here and, depending on the day, MAY only cost you about 20 extra dollars.
**NOTE: This hotel is a NON-​SMOKING facility**

this ain’t Rome.
if you’re looking for 5-​star luxury complete with day spa and limo service to the beaches, you’re definitely in the wrong place.
if you’re looking for a cheap, last minute place to lay your head, then you’ll be fine.
what used to be one of the El Palacio hotels is now nothing but a dilapidated fixer-​upper. aside from the lack of asthetics, the bed was pretty comfy and — yup…that’s pretty much it.
