A family-run hotel at the gateway to the Everglades and the Florida Keys

Whatever It Takes

Every member of our staff wears a badge with three letters on it: W.I.T. — Whatever It Takes. It's the promise behind everything we do: clean, comfortable, and commendable accommodations, delivered by people who will go out of their way to make your stay work. Arriving early after a red-eye? We'll try to have a room ready, or hold your luggage so you can head straight to the Everglades. Leaving late for the Keys? Ask us about late check-out. It's a small property run the way small properties should be.

An award-winning property

That philosophy has been recognized across the industry. Awards our hotel and team have earned include:

• Wyndham Franchisee of the Year Award
• Hotel of the Year Awards
• Best of the Best Awards
• Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice Awards
• Booking.com Traveller Review Awards

The property

All 88 of our newly renovated rooms are on the ground floor, with parking right outside your door — no elevators, no luggage carts, no long corridors. Rooms are fully tiled (no carpets), non-smoking, and come with a refrigerator, microwave, and flat-screen TV. Mornings start with a complimentary hot buffet breakfast, served indoors or out under our big tiki hut; afternoons end at the sun-drenched, seasonally heated outdoor pool.

Accessibility, seriously

Five of our ground-floor rooms are ADA-compliant with roll-in showers, and the property includes a pool lift, lowered sinks and toilets, and visual and auditory alarms. Because every room is at ground level, the whole property is step-free by design — something very few hotels in the area can say.

Your local guides

We live here, and it shows. The front desk can route your morning in Everglades National Park (about 20 minutes away), point you to the best fruit shake at Robert Is Here, tell you when to leave for Key Largo to beat the traffic, and what race weekends at Homestead-Miami Speedway mean for your plans. Ask — it's the part of the job we like best.
