  • The Hampton Inn Miami Coconut Grove's location was simply perfect. Situated within walking distance to the metro station Coconut Grove Station, exploring Miami's vibrant neighborhoods and dining options was a breeze. 16
  • Mr. C Miami - Coconut Grove, which describes itself as a 'modern version of old-world simplicity and stylish European glamour,' is a 5-star boutique hotel that offers an excellent location (steps away from CocoWalk) and unbeatable views of Biscayne Bay. 11

Service11 mentions · 2 filmed
  • From check-in to arranging in-room facials, the hotel's casual staff has a friendly "here if you need me" attitude. 8
  • everything from as far as I can tell so far is kind of glancing at it it looks pretty clean On camera48:42
  • Fantastic reception on Tuesday evenings with free beer, wine, snacks, and live Latin music 9
  • The beds are plush and comfortable, covered with high thread count linens. There are nice views of Miami in the distance from some rooms. 9
  • Super comfortable beds with high quality linens 9
  • The check-in and check-out process is non-transactional and can be fully automated through lobby-level kiosks (much more thoughtfully designed than the ones at the airport). 8
  • I think it's really nice I would not consider this dated so this is just his opinion we differ on this but super nice people at the front desk too On camera52:49
  • Neutrogena toiletries are a nice touch. 9
  • The beds are plush and comfortable, covered with high thread count linens. 9
  • The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and to our delight, we received a thoughtful Hilton Honors goodie bag as a token of appreciation. 16
  • The friendly and informative staff made us feel right at home from the moment we stepped through the doors. 16
Room10 mentions · 4 filmed
  • Rooms are sleek with high-quality furniture and plush, comfortable beds. 9
  • All rooms have a shiny flat-screen TV, high-speed Wi-Fi access, safe, ironing facilities, mini-fridge, and microwave. The only thing missing is a coffeemaker. 9
  • Room wasn't terrible quiet, clean and bed comfy otherwise. 3
  • that's one thing we've noticed that we don't like is the internet doesn't seem to be working in our room Tori got it to connect down in the lobby but in the room we're having struggles with it On camera46:47
  • we're not going to try it but it's a really nice room pretty big On camera57:00
  • Rooms are refined and bright, with balcony views of Coconut Grove or Biscayne Bay, and feature gold accents and locally sourced art along with neutral-toned furniture and bed linens. 14
  • I went to use the conditioner and it is completely empty so that was a fault on theirs to not check that when they clean the room On camera411:55
  • Large room sizes and reasonably-priced rooms featuring two king beds are ideal for families. 8
  • Rooms range in size from 400 all the way up to 1,000 square feet, and as such, never disappoint in terms of space. 8
  • some pretty artwork on the walls it's really nice it's big spacious room I like it On camera54:15

  • so when you're in the shower I want to show you guys this because yeah it's weird but there they are made higher than the middle so when you close the curtain it quite literally starts rolling down on both sides so see yeah so before you know it it's right back in the center and they see huge cap on both sides On camera411:27
  • to 11:00 p.m. you have your toilet unfortunately we have a shower curtain which is unfortunate but you do have shampoo conditioner and shower gel 5

Food11 mentions · 1 filmed
  • Restaurant was typical food priced towards business travelers with an expense/per diem. 3
  • It's more affordable than mid-range hotels in the area, but lacks ambiance and doesn't have a bar or dinner restaurant. 9
  • Additionally, the aromatic coffee provided a much-needed boost of energy to kickstart our Miami adventures. 16
  • Guests can embark on a dynamic dining journey-from the Mediterranean-Asian fusion at The Collab to the bold, globally inspired flavors of Mamey, and the elevated cocktails of Ivy Rooftop, where stunning views of The City Beautiful set the scene. 14
  • The on-site Two Sisters Restaurant restaurant is a posh setting for a business meeting or upscale dinner, while Bar 50, located in the lobby, is ideal for pre-or-post dinner drinks. 14
  • Each morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast that offered a variety of options to suit every palate. 16
  • Amenities abound at this 150-plus-acre resort, with a lavish spa and salon, multiple tennis courts, the recently restored 18-hole Donald Ross Championship Golf Course, four restaurants, elegant guest rooms and two spectacular presidential suites. 14
  • $5 $5 for the Duncan coffee oh my God that's a little steep On camera42:24
  • Only downside there aren't really restaurants in walking distance so we eat at the hotel restaurant. I think it is pricey, but it is no more so than other area restaurants. 6
  • The hotel also features the Bellini restaurant, which serves delicious Italian cuisine (and delicious classic cocktails!), and a rooftop pool that provides a relaxing escape from the city. 11
  • The on-site restaurant Americana Kitchen serves elevated classics like burgers and wood-fired pizzas along with creative cocktails. 14

  • The hotel also offers a free hot breakfast buffet and free wifi, making it a great value for the price. 11
  • all in all it was a pretty good experience for the price and being able to hop on the Metro Rail it was definitely cheaper than staying in brickl or in downtown Miami for sure I mean it was like half the price just about On camera417:23
  • A hot breakfast buffet is included with the room price; guests get eggs, sausage, and access to a DIY waffle maker. There is free, reliable Wi-Fi access in rooms and throughout the hotel. 9
  • I can recommend the Hampton Miami Brickell. We stayed there this past November and would definitely stay again. A big plus is that the price includes a very decent breakfast buffet. 6

  • Mr. C Miami - Coconut Grove, which describes itself as a 'modern version of old-world simplicity and stylish European glamour,' is a 5-star boutique hotel that offers an excellent location (steps away from CocoWalk) and unbeatable views of Biscayne Bay. 11
  • Great location, five-minute drive to Coconut Grove with easy access to airport and rest of Miami 9
  • Well Coconut Grove and Coral Gables are both very nice areas, IF you actually stay IN those areas, BUT this hotel is not in Coral Gables, and is on the edge of the bad part of Coconut Grove. There's not really anything around it, and there's no way you can safely walk to the good part of Coconut Grove from there. 10
  • the area was really nice there was a nice easy walk to a Publix yeah when you say easy walk like 2 miles 5 minutes flat obviously safe On camera57:03
  • Dive into their rooftop pool, enjoy free wifi, and soak up its prime location. Just steps away, you'll find CocoWalk, restaurants, shops, and oh, that rooftop pool? It has incredible views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. 11
  • Your hotel is located on US1 (South Dixie Hwy), about 1-2 miles south of I-95. The hotel is walkable to the true heart of the Grove, but there are some dodgy areas if you stray too far off the beaten path. 7
  • The Hampton Inn Miami Coconut Grove's location was simply perfect. Situated within walking distance to the metro station Coconut Grove Station, exploring Miami's vibrant neighborhoods and dining options was a breeze. 16
  • The brickell area also has a number of quite decent hotels and they are close to the metromover. We really enjoyed the Hampton inn Miami Beach...it was close enough to the beach we didn't need to have a car and there were tons of restaurants! 6
View2 mentions
  • The floor to ceiling windows in the bay view let a lot of heat in which the curtains struggle to help with. I'm a hot sleeper, so that and the ac struggle was tough but do able. 3
  • to 11:00 p.m. we actually don't have a really pretty view but it could be because I'm only on the seventh floor I don't like to be super high up 5
