Do not stay at the Mutiny despite the good location. The rooms are dirty and worn. It was rusted in places, the blinds did not work and the bathroom counter was all stained instead of white. When we checked in there was hair all over the bathroom and dust all over the furniture. The room was anything but clean. The carpet did not seem to have been vacuumed in a long time. Housekeeping rearranged the dirt on a daily basis, but did not clean. The furniture remained dirty throughout our stay. All they did was change the dingy towels and change the sheets, if requested. The room itself was falling apart. The toilet did not work and the sink faucet broke during our stay. Also, the phone in the bedroom did not work. The one hook on the bathroom wall was falling down. There was no hot water one day and the maintenance person who came to "fix" the problem did not knock before entering the room. By the way, he did not fix the problem. There is a kitchen in each suite, but it was not clean either. In order to get ice, one has to go down to the restaurant and get it to bring up to the room. Our room seemed to be one of the only ones with carpet and the noise from other rooms was loud. You could here every step and voices from the adjacent rooms and the ones above and below. If you have a car, you are forced to valet it and pay the 24 hour fee. They even lost the keys to one of the guest's car. There is one waitress at the restaurant and the service is very slow. Expect to take one to two hours for breakfast. The food is decent compared to the rest of the place. The pool is tiny and not heated despite what it seems on the website, which is deceiving to say the least.

The "hotel" (condo-tel) is in a good location and service is decent (except for the valet). Unfortunately I have nothing else nice to say about the hotel. The room was not clean (hair in the bathroom, dirt all over the furniture). However, the worst part was the noise at night. When we checked in the room was quiet. When we returned to the room for the evening the permanent resident in the condo next to our bedroom left his/her surround sound system on all night. I don't know if the walls are thin or if that resident is just downright inconsiderate, but we were not able to sleep that night. Checking out was the best part of our stay. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone that I liked and will not stay there again.

I booked my reservations through Orbitz. The reviews seemed to be good and I had heard great things from family member who stayed here earlier this year. I received an awesome deal, or so I thought. The hotel is in a great location near the grove. However, we were given the very last room in the back of the hotel facing the parking garage. Though there wasn't much of a view I can accept it for the price I paid. What was unacceptable was the ordor in the bedroom. It smelled like wet towels. We called the front desk and they changed the sheets on the bed and cleaned the suite again. The next day they brought up a machine to help take the ordor out of the room. It improved however the next day it still had that foul ordor. They came in and sprayed the unit. We had requested to move if they ordor continued but our request in that regard was ignored. I traveled with my mother and gave her the bedroom and I stayed on the sofa bed couch. It was not very comfortable. Another problem is that you could hear everything in the room next to us or so I thought, my mother believes someone came into our room. I heard foot steps about 3 in the morning which I thought came from next door, however my mother believes they came into our room. Also, one afternoon we went out, upon our arrival as we got off the elevator we saw the housekeeping and front desk clerk attempting to enter our room. When they saw us coming up I let them know that we were in that room they said they were coming to check on us and see if we needed anything. When they left I found our balcany door open, I had closed the door before I had left so I just figured they were up to something out there, they never mentioned it though. Anyway, this place left a bad taste in my mouth and I will not be returning and cannot recommend it to any one else.

Beware of this condo owner, who goes by Miami Condo Oasis at the Mutiny Hotel in Coconut Grove, Florida. We stayed at the Mutiny during December, 2005. The unit was very nice , Check-in was a breeze. However like other posts he kept our deposit and after many excuses never returned our $500! I would NOT use this unit.
I would contact the hotel directly and pay more and avoid this person.
