What guests think

Reviews of Grand Prix Motel Beach Front highlight a beachfront setting and friendly, family-run service, but also frequent complaints about cleanliness issues such as bugs and odors, plus facility disruptions from pool closures, construction, and intermittently closed direct beach access.

Rooms are widely described as dated with maintenance problems like weak showers, broken fixtures, or troublesome door locks. While several guests found good value and enjoyed the location, others faced parking difficulties, check-in issues, and refund disputes. Expect a basic stay with notable trade-offs.

Quiet hotel on the beach, but still haven't repaired the access to the beach directly from the hotel since the hurricane a couple of years ago. You have to walk about a block to access the beach from a street ramp. Enjoyable stay!

It was $100, but the pool was closed (not stated on the website), there was construction, so there was no direct beach access. There were little bugs on the window in the bathroom. A dirty napkin was left in the room (after cleaning and it wasnt mine). The morning i left i was in the bathroom getting ready and there was a construction worker right at my bathroom window. It was overpriced for what it was. Would not stay there again.

pool and entrance to the beach is closed. One bed was comfortable and one bed squeaked. I was charged a $5 fee for putting the $50 room deposit on a credit card. Shower has NO pressure at all. Took 45 minutes to wet my hair to be able to wash it.

Family run and it’s nice where you can relax with privacy. Easy beach access. This property gives you a feel like you’re in the Keys.

The place advertised a pool. The pool was closed. Did not state this fact on website. No refunds allowed. Got no discount. Was not allowed to have a visitor. It was ridiculous. A lot was tore up in the room. I would never recommend this motel.

Take this property off Orbitz. Old, run down, poorly maintained. Phone not connected. A/C would not turn on. Smoke detector disabled. Pool and beach access denied. Carpet too raunchy to dare touch it with bare feet.

The hotel was absolutely filthy. The rooms had cockroaches the toilets didn’t flush. The pool was filthy full of sand and had a green algae in it. This hotel is below the one star! How this hotel can be open is beyond me.

It was a decent place to stay. Just a parking was very difficult. The rooms are we’re kind of outdated and very basic. Other than that. I can’t complain. I think the price is could’ve been a little less for what the condition was but it is on the beach so it’s expected, I would stay there again

There was hair on the pillow cases, on the mirror, towels, and in the shower drain, clogging it up. Long human hairs. Roaches get through cracks around the door. The parking is a nightmare and the lot is completely full after 10pm. Don't bring a big truck. Pool is full of brown water. The area reeks of smoke and people are out and about from dusk until dawn. Should not be available through Expedia. More like a local motel.

Beyond dirty. Lights did not work. Shower was so small my shoulders touched wall and curtain at the same time and barely any water pressure. Only thing good was the lady at the front counter was nice. This is a 0 out of 10. Keep your money and sleep on the beach.

It’s very dirty and unkept, we booked a non smoking room yet our blankets had cigarette burns in them, the sheets were absolutely filthy and stained, bugs on the floor. Mold along the top of the door, the fire alarm was completely removed all together which is completely unsafe, this whole place was a complete mess, the manager also stayed awake watching us on security cameras while we went to walk the beach, only 3 people stayed the night and 2 of us left, he made sure to stay awake watching us till 1 am which is weird behavior. I will make sure to post pictures of the sheets and the walls

I was not able to stay due to the mold and dirt aggravating my allergies. They showed me 3 rooms and none were clean, there were holes in the walls, the furniture was dirty and there were stains on the sheets that thankfully I checked before trying to stay.

No coffee pot, despite what the website said. We used the deadbolt on the door the first night, and had to fight to get it unlocked the next morning. If there had been an emergency, that would be perfect for Morgan & Morgan.

I am surprised this place is allowed to operate. We had holes in our walls, the room smelled like cleaner covering up mould, most of the lamps in the room were broken, I wouldn't wall on the carpet without shoes and pool was totally broken (they say under construction), but definitely not like the photos for this place show.

so i got this room on expedia, then arrived and the hotel desk said no there was no room in my name. so i said no i got it on expedia they checked again said no. so i figured maybe my order just didn’t finish processing. i then paid the fee for the night (which was actually cheaper than i paid via expedia by 30$ dollars. so i was charged twice, for the same room, i am becoming suspicious of the motel and if there are motives behind their move, because i had my reservation. i am still await for my money back from them, its inly been two says since, so i will call tomorrow

All was great checking in - Bill is excellent!! Room was clean, water was hot. They could use a little fabric softener in the towels but there were plenty of towels!! The ocean is right outside our door - pool is beautiful but too cold due to weather. I will be back here next year!

Nice little place directly on the beach. Flew in late & needed a place for a short nite. WARNING: No check in after 10pm which you don't find out until after you book. No refunds! After a few texts & phone calls they let us pick up a key in a drop box. Whew! Nice people & very cozy. Pool closed. What else is new as that seems to be a common occurance at many of the smaller places.
