Rodeway Inn Miami is a value property with 163 large but dated rooms that could use a refresh. The hotel offers free Wi-Fi, a continental-style breakfast, and parking. It's conveniently located near I-95, and South Beach is less than a 25-minute drive from the hotel. There’s no beach nearby, but there is an outdoor pool in a fenced-off area surrounded by trees. Guests might also want to check out the Deauville Beach Resort, a three-pearl hotel with clean rooms and a large pool that's closer to the beach but has slightly higher rates than the Rodeway Inn.
Scene
Classic lobby and charming pool area
Palm trees decorate the parking lot, and white curtains shield the windows of the Rodeway Inn Miami. Inside, the classic lobby is spacious, with large columns and a big, wooden front desk, but the few black leather couches are spread out in a way that’s not conducive to mingling. Wooden tables and mint-green chairs provide seating in the hotel’s breakfast room, and shades diffuse the sunlight coming in through the wall of windows. Outside, trees surround the fenced-in pool area, and round paving stones and a vintage-inspired lamppost add some charm.
