The owners are SO friendly and helped us with anything we needed. The location is right near Wynwood.

They were very accomodating to our late night schedule, as well. The outside is undergoing renovations, thus the appearance. The motel is in walking distance to a great pizza place and a nice coffee shop and car wash across the street, and it's about three blocks from Biscayne Bay. We really enjoyed our four day stay at the Carl's El Padre.

MIA is 10 minutes away, and excellent for quick overnight stays. SECURE & FAMILY FRIENDLY. Located next to the AutoZone on 8th Street; well-maintained trailer park hidden behind the Motel and away from the street. Inexpensive fast Cuban food across the street (La Palma). Next door is a strip mall with Cuban & French bakery (Breakfast less than $5, excellent coffee), dry cleaners, super market. Latin American dinner on the corner, Sedano supermarket / Diego's Andalusia Tapas 5 minutes away, and Versailles Restaurant 10 minutes away. My family relies on Marta and Alex to hold a room for us at least 1 week in advance. Very popular motel, and great "bang for the buck". Over the last 10 years, stayed at multiple hotels in Calle Ocho because of proximity to Hispanic community, affordable deals, easy access to MIA / Le Jeune / 42nd Street, and quick drive to KEY BISCAYNE. Over the years, all hotels in Calle Ocho changed from exclusively renting on a daily basis towards a more profitable strategy of renting on an hourly basis. If looking for secure and quiet stay, cannot recommend hotel rooms rented on hourly basis. THE REASON: Hourly rentals attracts undesirable company of street-walkers and addicts, which bring police activity in the middle of the night and all the noise that entails. Sunnyside motel has hosted my family of 4 every year since 2005. South American visitors love the idea of spending their lady full day in Miami before departing, and they insist on paying for the room. To their surprise, Sunnyside rates are more affordable than the hotels in South America and the cleanliness is superior, asking to come back on their next trip. This review is my honest opinion, without knowledge or compensation from the proprietors of Sunnyside Motel.

Mind you I am a woman and was not dressed. There were lots of "I'm sorries" from Sentral, but nothing changed. It got to the point where I had to obtain legal advice. While we arrived at an agreement, it soon happened again, and I let the manager know. *Crickets* Very surface level. They are friendly and use many words, 0 actions. You will only start to notice after you have a problem that takes more than 1 second to resolve. I was here for months and months before I noticed their pattern. Do not want to work. It's like, 'yes, I wish that for you too, that you could retire'; unfortunately I do need the services that I'm paying for to be completed. It's not cheap here. These folks would be in for a shock if they tried to work elsewhere (e.g. New York or even developing countries I've visited). They would not make it. Nothing happens unless you prompt it: "ok you've noted the issue, but you're not gonna be here tomorrow. So are you going to let someone else know?" Staff: "oh ok I'll tell such and such" 0 follow-through. They'll tell you that "they have a meeting right now" and will do such and such to address your problem after. *Crickets*. Then next they see you, they'll try to avoid you. It'd be taken as disrespectful, if not for that it's so overt that it's comical. Also lol, you don't need to avoid me; I'm not going to chase you to do your job. I wish I could say it was just a single individual. The staff have friendly personalities; I would be friends with all.

I completely understand that issues can happen, but the top priority should always be making sure your guests feel taken care of and comfortable. From the start, there were problems with my booking and I was placed in the wrong room. The room I ended up in had no window and it genuinely felt like being in a dungeon. On top of that, there was visible mold around the windows, the sink was rusty and falling apart, which feels like a safety concern, and the entire room smelled strongly of mildew. I understand Miami's humidity can cause wear and tear, but I've stayed in multiple places here and have never experienced anything like this, especially not needing a dehumidifier in the room. I also have severe asthma and staying in that environment has left me dealing with the aftermath of breathing in what smelled like mold all night. That alone made this experience much more serious for me. To make matters worse, I even found a roach on the floor. I have photos to back all of this up. At that point, I was honestly just disgusted. I've had great experiences in the past, which is why this was so surprising. But this time it felt like more attention was given to the restaurant than to the actual guests staying at the hotel.

SERVICE Completely contactless checkin…read more Virtual concierge available. The SMS concierge checkout didn't work for me unfortunately. Elevators are a bit slow considering there are only a few floors but the music is good. ROOM Straightforward no-frills room with Good cleaning standards. The wood & gold design is very stylish. The work desk is a bit tattered, but still very functional. No ergonomic chair. Old school AC unit, not electronically operated by a wall thermostat, so a little inconvenient. The floorboards are warped and create a lot of noise whenever moving about the room. Functional windows for fresh air. The electrical is in serious need of attention, the overhead light flickers on off very WILDLY for seconds at a time; there's either a short or the breaker is overloaded. BED Did not stay long enough to try the mattress. BATH Very clean & Well-maintained. Plant-based Le Labo Bath products provided. Rainfall shower. TV Great entertainment system via 4k Apple TV (2nd gen). Connected to a modern Samsung TV. WI-FI De facto ~25 Mbps complementary hotel Wi-Fi. 25-29 Mbps down 26-29 Mbps up FOOD Great minibar selection. Room service is also available. Noise Short stay but no glaring issues during the free hours I was here. Verdict There were highly opinionated reviews on the smell/aroma here that made me apprehensive, but it wasn't as bad as described. The scent could be overwhelming to those with fragrance allergies but otherwise it's fine. I would stay here again & recommend it to other travelers looking for a convenient short term stay once the electrical is fixed.

We were looking for somewhere interesting to stay with Little Havana as our base in Miami and…read morevoila, Little Havana certainly fit the bill. This hip boutique hotel features a rooftop bar, fun interior decor, and clever features like ordering ice, towels, etc. through the tv in your room (along with a virtual yoga class taught by a local instructor). The facade of the hotel is beautiful. There were two things that hung us up a bit - 1.) directly in front of the hotel was clean but it seemed like their care for trash pick up on the block ended at the edge of their property. For example, there was a whole tv in laying in a pile of trash on the sidewalk's edge two doors down. I know it's hard to keep up a whole block but it seemed so close/worth it. 2.) there were a few design aspects in the rooms where you could tell they cut corners. For example, a quick coat of paint was thrown on the bathroom doors, trim, etc. and all of the old screws/raw wood from the former hotel/apt. remained. Given the price point of the hotel, it was surprising they cut those corners. The star of the show at Life House is the rooftop bar/restaurant, Terras. Terras reminded us of so many past international trips rolled into one - especially our visits to the riads of Marrakech and a fun little hotel we stayed at in Cartagena. Terras probably cost three times more than those places (ha) but the vibe was definitely on par. If you're looking for a simple Cuban-inspired breakfast (the crispy patacones were our favorite served with eggs and pickled red onions alongside a no frills coffee, then this place is for you. If you're more into the nightlife scene, you'll also find a fun cocktail menu and live DJs almost every night. If we had more time, we would have caught one of the Saturday afternoon yoga rooftop classes as well.
