Carl's Motel El Padre

I was desperate in need of a last minute booking due to flight cancellations. The room was fine, but my issue was with the hygiene. Please see the photos below. Luckily, i had disposable wipes, but I didn’t sleep in the sheets or take a shower. Hygiene was extremely lacking at this place. Hairs in towels a several stains on the bed. This could’ve easily been changed out but the owners did not take the time to do so. I’m pretty sure this has to be some kind of health violation.

This motel was bookable online during a festival(I think a lot of motels at biscayne blvd are not online), so we really had to book something in advance. More decent options were sold out already. For the price they charged the facilities were poor. It was basic, clean, but a bit damp in the room. Looked a bit run down.Good wifi, room has convient furniture and microwave. At arrival they wanted to charge an extra "service charge " that was not mentioned in our online invoice trough a hotel site. It was sneaky, because at first they pretended it was tax, but after our objections and showing the print out they refunded it without a lot of hassle. So overall, clean and basic, but just a bit overpriced. The motel next door (seven seas, not online)was a bit more basic, but also half price.

Jenny was amazing! She helped my wife and friend after a late night Cruise and early disembarkation to get a room to rest before a late evening flight. Thank you so much!

Friendly and helpful staff. The room was decent, good mattress, great shower and towels, but I woke up with a cockroach walking all over me. There were several of them in the room. That's the only reason why the review wasn't better.

They are very clean and the room are cozy and the bed is so soft I give a 10. I love it wouldn't go no we're els but her
