"It's a motel, with breakfast. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. AC worked fine. Breakfast was a typical motel buffet breakfast - eggs, sausage, bacon, danishes, fruit, cereal, et cetera. Entirely edible, not exceptional.
What was unusual, compared to our other lodgings across the trip - which were in more touristy places - was the price. I think it was less than half the price of the (inexpensive) lodging in more touristy areas - and, except for the area, basically the same rooms and services. (Actually, more, because this one included breakfast.)
The Cuban restaurant next door, Mario's, was very good.
As best I can tell, Homestead is a residential community. There's nothing exciting there. However, it's a great hub - it's within striking distance of anything in the Everglades, and Miami, and the Keys. (About 3h to Key West, about an hour to Flamingo Visitor center at the southeast end of Everglades NP, about 2.5 hours to Naples on the west coast, 1-2h to Miami Beach.)"
