Mayfair House Hotel & Garden

The location is at the heart of Coconut Grove. The front-end staff was excellent. The central atrium is striking and we got upgraded to a suite. But from there, things slide. The room at first glance was dramatically romantic. But… It was so dark I needed a flashlight to see the contents of my purse; during the day, with all the lights on. The bedside lights were switched together, on the wall, not reachable from the bed. BELIEVE the noise reviews! It was unbelievably noisy from within and outside, to the extent that I have never experienced. The TV was hard to hear over the pounding DJ music in the atrium. We could have participated in our neighbors’ normal conversation thru the wall. All of the noise bounces around and reverberates throughout. The door security lever thing was improperly installed and didn’t work. Housekeeping: the main area rug was stained and not vacuumed at checkin. It was not EVER vacuumed during our 6 day stay. Towels were doled out judiciously, which was a problem when our accessible shower flooded the room. (The shower curtain was not waterproof, did not fit properly and had no rings; it was threaded directly onto the rod through the ring slits - making it laborious to open and close.). The shower rod was a tension rod that kept falling down. Facecloths are not standard issue and extremely hard to come by, despite requests. There was no mattress covering on the bed other than the sheet, which was not fitted and did not stay in place. Yuk! There was no magnified makeup mirror. In short, if you’re looking for an upscale dorm party experience, you’ll love it! Our 20-something kids would give a different review. And maybe if we had paid under $600/pm I’d be more forgiving. Otherwise, keep looking. For the same amount of $$$$ you could stay at any number of actual luxury accommodations.

We stayed at the Mayfair Hotel throughout our wedding weekend in the honeymoon suite, and had an incredible experience. From the moment we drove up to the door, the staff, especially Jason and David, were so helpful. They knew exactly how to hang up the wedding dress on the luggage cart to keep it from wrinkling, and helped us check into our room early so we could settle in before setting off for a busy day.

The hotel remodel was beautiful, and we loved sitting in the courtyard to drink our morning coffee before we started the day. The hotels walkability within the greater Coconut Grove area makes this hotel ideal for any guests looking for a comfortable, higher-end yet reasonably priced stay. The room was a delight as well, with fun decor, a free-standing bathtub in the bedroom, and a fun piano in the comfortable living room space. We also had a blast hanging at the rooftop pool. We couldn’t have asked for a better and more carefree experience for our wedding weekend!

Charming hotel in the heart of Coconut Grove. Frank Lloyd Wright meets Gaudi meets tropical modernism vibe.

My husband and I stayed here before our cruise, and it was absolutely beautiful. I loved the inside/outside feel of the hotel. Breakfast was expensive but good. It was a very romantic and relaxing place to stay. I would recommend this to any couple looking for a getaway!

Prime location, big, spacious rooms, too good for couples! ????
