Top Motel in Canandaigua Area

Reviewed Feb 28, 2023
We have stayed at the Miami many times over the years when visiting family in the area. I grew up in the area. We have watched them slowly take a dive motel with a bad reputation and renovate it into a chic, retro, affordable and comfortable motel for travelers.

First, this is the cleanest, (and I mean the cleanest! ) motel/ hotel I have ever stayed in my travels. It’s consistent every visit.
It’s affordable. We can book three nights at a time to visit and not break the bank.
The frig, microwave are a nice perk. And they include paper towels for that and a small eating/ sitting area. Tiled bathroom with an upgraded shower head. Wonderful!
And Table and chairs outside each unit.

Through four decades of weddings/ holiday /family visits that often mean reserving multiple rooms we have tried most of the resort and chain hotels (with children and grandchildren) to stay in the area. The Miami is our number one choice that we continue to come back to.
The hosts are friendly and so great to work with.
Congratulations on a great job bringing an affordable and comfortable choice for visitors in the area.
Date of stay: February 2023
Room Tip: The rooms in the front are pet free. I think the bungalows have kings and jacuzzis.

Beautiful, spotless large rooms. Nicely decorated. We always get a king jacuzzi suite. Tile work in bathroom and around the 2 person jacuzzi is absolutely great. Owners, Valerie and Dennis are just awesome. Refrigerator, microwave, and Kuerig. Bed is so comfortable. Everything is clean, clean, clean. Been there probably 6-7 times. Can’t wait to go back!

Stayed here as traveling through the area and was pleasantly surprised. It has an old motor lodge feel, with unique rooms. The rooms with Jacuzzi's are nice and have plenty of supplies (towels, tp, soap, etc) and are very clean. A little electric fireplace was also nice touch. Owners are very nice and if you call to describe what you are looking for can help line you up with the best room match. We would definitely stay here again when in the area.

Room tip: Call and talk to owners to get the room that best fits your needs, each one seem to be unique

We stayed here over a long weekend for our daughter's wedding at the suggestion of the venue - Lincoln Hills. The rooms are comfortable and clean. We stayed in room 30 has a jacuzzi and everything is brand new inside, We never had to ask for clean towels because they stock the bathroom with more than you can use. The hosts are super friendly and accommodating Also, you can't beat the price and location, We highly recommend!

What a wonderful little motel for Cherry Wonderdog! It was up the road from downtown Canandaigua, perhaps a mile or less, far enough, however, to be away from the hustle and bustle, leaving us without concern for things left in the car. I was expecting an old retro hotel from the 60s, great value but lacking modern amenities. I’ve stayed in a few of these before, but Miami Motel is different. Miami is updated, renovated, and commodious. Comfortable king bed, heating and cooling system completely remote, a double shower head, and ample outlets in all the right places to connect appliances and chargers alike. There’s shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and even toothbrushes and paste for those (like me) who forget theirs at home.

I also found the husband and wife owners to be sincere, conscientious, reasonable, and smart. They welcomed us with just enough professionalism to give us what we needed to get started and to accommodate our early departure. They didn’t pre-charge anything to our credit card either. Inasmuch as we had a couple of e-bikes in tow, they assigned us an adorable private room with a carport that made us feel incredibly cozy and secure.

One thing that has changed recently (website needs updating) is breakfast – it’s gone, supposedly a result of the pandemic. It’s a little unfortunate, because something quite simple in the office area would help folks start their day more quickly than having to visit a local restaurant. In our case, we planned ahead and brought cereal, milk, instant coffee, and plastic utensils to the room. The little refrigerator and microwave made it possible to fix a simple but satisfying meal without going out. Note that there was a Keurig machine in the room, but no matter how hard I try, I can never get that coffee to taste better than leaf broth.

All in all, Miami Motel was perfect for our two-night stay, and we didn’t spend an arm and a leg by any means. It’s a great value, and you’ll drive away thankful to have supported a nice couple whose friendly business offers travelers an alternative to the typical pricey hotel chains.
