Mr. C Miami - Coconut Grove

Another amazing trip to Miami. Skip south beach and head to Coconut Grove. This hotel does NOT have an employee who does not have smile all the time, ask you how your day was and ask you if you need anything. Everyone at the front desk is amazing but Roberto rocks!!! Houskeeeping is always on point and how can you forget the staff upstairs at Bellini and the food. We cant wait to come back to visit our daughter living there (she offered for us to stay with her but lets be honest the Chocolates at Mr. C are better 😂 )

I gave it a five because there were no deficiencies, but the travelers need to know this is a boutique hotel that lacked some of the amenities of larger properties, but the highlights are a rooftop pool looking out over the bay. Bellini’s is a top-tier restaurant where you can have breakfast in the morning and look out at the water as well as fine dining in the evening the gym is small, but highly functional and there is a cool Outdoor café patio area upon entry. The rooms are quite small, but well appointed.

I'm doing this review a little differently. Instead of waiting until the end of the trip, I’ll update it daily as I experience something noteworthy. Day 1 First impressions are very nice. It’s a cool little boutique hotel in a nice part of Coconut Grove. The lobby was slightly odd, as the first "counter" you see is a pastry counter. Just past it to the left is the front desk. The service is very friendly and attentive. The woman at the front desk was quick to check me in, with an upgrade (yay), and offered me water and a Bellini. I took both! The only issue was I had to fill out information on an iPad with details I thought they’d already have—address, phone number, email, etc. My room was on the first floor, which I thought was fine, but the view was a little low, as I realized when I went to the Bellini Restaurant on the top floor. Not terrible, but I’d definitely ask for a higher floor next time. The room itself is very nice—modern without being cold. It features a nice wood desk, dresser, and closets, an impressive minibar, and some snacks. There are also sunglasses and hats, which can be purchased. A neat touch I've never seen before. Even a foam roller in the closet shows great attention to detail. There is free and paid Wi-Fi; the free option seems fast enough for Zoom and everything else I need. I was hungry, so I went upstairs to the Bellini Restaurant. Like the front desk, the service was excellent. I had a chicken sandwich that was very tasty. It came with fries, which were great—actually, some of the best fries I’ve ever had. I had dinner in my room: a different chicken sandwich (name forgotten) with tomato and avocado. Very good. Tiramisu for dessert, which was very good as well. The service again was excellent. The fridge in the room is full of alcohol, so it’s hard to fit a water or other drink in there. This is the only negative I’ve experienced with the room so far. Day 2 Had lunch in-room today. Cheeseburger with fries. Very good, and, as usual, the service was excellent. A quick issue was resolved by the front desk. The service here really is impressive—everyone seems genuinely interested in helping you have a great time at the hotel. Found one small negative: the TV is not on a mount that swings. It would have been nice when sitting on the couch, but it’s not a major issue. Something else that was a little weird is that the Wi-Fi kicks you off after 24 hours and requires you to re-establish the connection. Not a big deal, but it’s something I’ve never experienced at other hotels. Just got a courtesy call from the front desk asking how my stay has been so far and if I need anything else. They also asked when I was checking out and if I needed any transportation. Very impressive service. Had dinner, which was the club sandwich and some beer. Great, like the last meal and service. Day 3 Check-out was quick. The way they had me view the receipt was quite nice: on a leather-bound pad of some kind. They asked a few questions about how much I enjoyed my stay, if I needed transportation, etc. I really enjoyed my time here and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in Coconut Grove.

Mr C is a wonderful property with best breakfast in town. Il Giardino is truly the best kept secret in Coconut Grove. The food is consistently delicious and the service is by far the best in the grove. Evian, Christian and Adolfo are always very attentive and extremely detailed oriented.

Great location! They buckle and dime you for everything. Very overpriced food and drinks. $26 for a glass of basic wine.
