About this property

Welcome to Motel 77

Motel 77, nestled at 3021 SW 8th St in Miami, presents itself as a modest yet practical option for travelers seeking essential comfort in a bustling urban setting. This family-owned establishment stands out with its cleanliness and straightforward hospitality, reflecting the charm and warmth often associated with a small, locally run business. Guests frequently praise the spacious showers and fresh linens, key comforts that elevate the stay beyond mere functionality.

Located in Miami’s vibrant Little Havana district, the motel offers convenience next to popular retail outlets like Home Depot and quick dining options including McDonald’s, making it easy for visitors to manage their needs without straying far. The neighborhood's energy, infused with Latin culture—from Calle Ocho’s lively art galleries to cozy music clubs and cafes—provides a rich backdrop, turning an overnight stop into a glimpse of Miami’s true heart.

While Motel 77 does not boast luxury amenities such as a pool or restaurant, it provides the essentials: free Wi-Fi, parking, and air conditioning. These features support basic comfort but clearly target guests who prioritize practicality over indulgence. Customer service receives consistent praise for being warm and attentive, particularly noting the friendly, efficient check-in experience from staff who impart a sense of genuine care.

That said, the motel is candidly described as a no-frills refuge, best for short stays or emergency lodging rather than extended vacations or upscale experiences. Some reviews mention challenges such as occasional ant presence and a surrounding environment that reflects a working-class, transient atmosphere. This transparency in guest feedback underscores Motel 77's unpretentious identity and situates it firmly within the spectrum of budget-conscious options in Miami.

In sum, Motel 77 offers a clean, welcoming base for visitors drawn to the lively cultural pulse of Little Havana, serving those who value simplicity and affordability. Its 3.7-star rating reflects a balance of earnest hospitality and modest accommodations, inviting travelers to embrace the motel’s straightforward charm amid Miami’s dynamic cityscape.

Very clean family owned establishment. Big showers and clean sheets. Only problem are ants. Other than that the older lady who checked us in Miami as adorable and extremely nice fast and welcoming. It's across the street from home Depot and McDonald's making it convenient for food and home Depot carries varies household supplies u may need to make ur stay more comfy. It was roughly 60$ I believe for a night I don't remember but I enjoyed my stay and I would recommend this spot to others if they asked #teamMotel77

This is a 5 star location for the worst of the worst. You want 5 star service in a bad place, here it is. Across the street during the day, it is a pick up spot for immigrant workers for day to day labor and at night a sleeping place.
