The location is fantastic. Restaurants / bars and beach nearby. The hotel is quite old. Loud air conditioning wall unit. No elevator. Room and bathroom was clean. A bit noisy at times. Service was good. Great place to crash for a night or two.

Set in pretty Espinola Way, The Clay is superbly located for South Beach, Art Deco Historical area and a stopover pre/post cruise. Seems as though the redecorating in the hallways has been going on for a while, and maybe a while more. Rooms are ok with both ceiling fans and air-con. In-room fridge is great for shop bought beers, also... More

I was in Doral , Fl for a seminar, ready to return to my home in AZ Sunday. My flight was cancelled. So I decided to try out the South Beach area, choosing to be stranded there rather than Doral. A friend knew of the Clay hotel and I thought: I'll try it. I was delighted with the price, the... More

Stayed at The Clay Hotel on the 27th April 2013. Newly renovated room was good. Previous occupant had vomited in the Room and it stank of Vomit. Used half a bottle of cologne and a tin of deodorant to no avail. The cleaner would have noticed this all day yet chose to put a guest in it ..... was awful.... More

The first night we arrived late and were put into the wing with the 300's. They are remodeling that wing. It was very scary looking and smelled bad from the restaurant below. The room however was very basic but clean. I talked to the front desk and they were extremely helpful and promised to move us which they did the... More

You get what you pay for and this hotel was well worth it. We only stayed the night before our cruise. It was clean, cheap and right in the middle of everything in the South Beach area. Would def stay again :)

We stayed at the clay hotel for three nights. I will say a very old hotel but our room was clean with new carpet and flat screen. The room was very small. We had a queen deluxe room, the bed seem like a full size. The location was excellent right in the middle of everything. They don't have ice machines... More
