Fairway Inn - Florida City, Florida

Rooms always clean. Staff efficient , helpful. Conveniently located near Everglades / Miami. Love how you can talk to a human at the desk! Great place. Myself/ son stay often there and plan to continue to stay there. Also love how they always have a water bottle in room....sometimes you come in thirsty and there's a water bottle.

The Fairway Inn was a great place to stay for a few days! The area itself isn’t the best but very close to Everglades and other attractions in SoFlo! The property itself was nicely maintained and mostly surrounded by a fence for safety! The room was clean and comfortable. The only issues I had was that there was no longer any breakfast but they had a very nice “breakfast” area. And 12 minutes before checkout I had a couple staff members come knocking on my door asking if I was leaving… They were acting very confused why I was still there even though it was very evident I was finishing up packing. When I was confirming that the check out time was 11 they confirmed and then kept looking at me like I had 3 heads… would have been done packing even sooner if it wasn’t for that 5 minute interaction. Never felt rushed like that in any hotel. Other than that great place!

Very clean and pretty comfortable. The check in process was smooth. There was a lot of noise coming from the neighbor next door, so if you're a sensitive sleeper it may not be ideal. Also the key cards were a little tricky. But the parking was easy and it is pretty close to the Everglades.

This facility had spotless rooms and smelled fresh on arrival. It is very basic but also very affordable and in a perfect location for both Everglades and Keys exploration. We were allowed to early check-in as the room was clean. We slept very comfortably and the bedding was quality. You could not do better for this price point and I would happily return to Fairway Inn for future stays. Well done!

🚨 WARNING: DO NOT STAY HERE. EVER. 🚨
This review is for Fairway Inn – Florida City, FL and if I could give this place zero stars, I would.

This hotel needs to be shut down immediately. What I experienced here was beyond unprofessional — it was harassment, privacy violations, and health hazards.

⸻

🛑 MAJOR ISSUES I EXPERIENCED:
• A female staff member (Hindu woman in a black hat driving a black Benz) entered my room while I was sleeping — without knocking, no permission, no warning. My son had to wake me up.
• After they invaded my privacy, they had the audacity to refuse to let me stay another night when I tried to pay.
• Room 404 had mold, mildew, and I was even locked in the bathroom.
• A shower light fell on another guest’s head.
• Staff accused us of leaving the room “too dirty” — that’s your job to clean, not a reason to harass customers.
• Ongoing disrespect, harassment, and unfair treatment from the staff every day.
• No professionalism, no communication, just cold stares, tension, and weird behavior that made us feel targeted and unwanted.

⸻

🧟‍♀️ STAFF BEHAVIOR:
• The woman running the front desk acted more like a prison guard than hotel staff.
• She was rude, invasive, and clearly does not belong in hospitality.
• I was treated like a problem, not a paying guest.
• When I tried to calmly extend my stay, they refused payment and told me to leave, despite already having my deposit.

⸻

🌴 ONLY THING GOOD? The landscaping. The grass was neat. That’s it.

📉 FINAL WARNING:

Fairway Inn is not a place you want to bring your family. It’s not even a place you want to spend one night. Between the unsafe conditions, disrespect, and serious privacy violations, this place should not be allowed to operate.

➡️ If you care about basic safety, dignity, and being treated like a human being:
STAY FAR AWAY FROM FAIRWAY INN.

You’ve been warned. I hope this review saves someone else from going through what we went through.

Positive: Staff was excellent and very polite. Very easy check in and even offered to clean my room everyday.many restaurants close by Negative: The pool was awful. Needs a thorough cleaning and water not hitting the skimmers. So bugs were floating on top in mass. Bathtub ring is so bad people have enscribed their names in it. Avoid the pool. Water was clear though.

It is a nice older hotel in a strategic area right on US 1 on the way to the Keys. Use it as a base to go Biscayne and Everglades after visiting the Keys. Pool was nice, Rooms were ok, No elevator but just 2 floors. It can be loud at night as US 1 is right next to the building. Getting in and out of it can be a little tricky but use the side street next to Wendy's.
Plenty of placed to eat, shop etc
It would be nice if they brought back a breakfast as they have a nice area for it .
Laundry on the premise was a plus

I booked four nights in this hotel based on the reviews I saw which I really still don’t understand why this hotel has good reviews! I checked in my room and it was a rainy night. I looked at the room and smelled the filthy smell and decided to leave after 10 minutes and that’s what I needed to book another hotel and contact Expedia to refund me the three nights because I already checked in for the first one. The beds looked okay but the walls and the door were very dirty and the smell was awful. Add to this the grumpy front desk person who was like punishing me for just checking in!! Bad experience.
