We had a group reservation at this hotel (5 rooms, 11 people) and it was the perfect hotel. The room rates were not overpriced and the location was perfect. The hotel has a rooftop, pool and direct access to the beach. Each room comes with a beach chair which can be rented at the beach. Overall, this was a 'party'... More

Our first visit to Ocean Drive and what a treat. After reading some of the reviews for this hotel I must admit I was a little nervous, very noisy, small bathrooms, quite bad reviews - oh dear. Then I had a thought. Built in 1937, yea the bathrooms would be small, very noisy - hold on we are talking about... More

Rooms are very small and dirty looking, probably on account of the old carpets and old everything. The cleaning lady was nice but there was not much she could do to make the room or bathroom look any better. Staff otherwise rude and unknowledgeable. This is the only hotel I've stayed at on Ocean so it is possible that the... More

Staff were very friendly and ALWAYS ready to help. We arranged two tours through the hotel with JC who was great. Our room was cleaned everyday, and housekeeping were very friendly and hard-working We had 2 twin beds which were a very good size we were on the 5th floor so no outside noise at all! Loved the rooftop terrace... More

This was a great trip. The hotel was great an anseeing questions and is located in a perfect location. The hotel is historical, the rooms are small and dated. The food at this place is amazing but for 2 something a night it isn't worth it at all, as far as sleep quality and the tiny pool they offer. If... More

It's great to read reviews when trying to pick hotels but it can also make you worried about what you have booked!!! Most importantly we would stay here again for sure. I was worried after booking this hotel as there were several mixed reviews - most people complain about noise, but come on guys this is Miami Beach!!!! It is... More

We stayed at this location before and we were satisfied so we decided to stay here again. To my surprise the hotel left a bottle of champagne and card for my husband because I mentioned it was his bday. That was a nice unexpected gesture. The hotel is located in the perfect spot on the beach and the queen suite... More

I've stayed at The Park Central about 15 times in the last 15 years. There are so many reasons why I return. First, I was given a free upgrade to a partial ocean view. Thanks Luis! The room was very nice and the bed was so comfortable. Great view of the ocean from the 6th floor. Every employee I encountered... More

Stayed at The Park Central for three nights in April - 2 double bed room and got an excellent price booking ahead on line. The hotel is in the Art Deco district and definitely has that early 20th century vibe - walking down the darkish hallway with ceiling fans turning, I felt like I was in a 40's movie. I... More
