The first thing to understand about the Whitelaw is: this is a YOUNG person's hotel, oriented towards SoBe partygoers. Its website makes this fairly clear, but it's worth restating. I would NOT recommend this place for older travellers or those with young children. The location is unbeatable - 1min walk from beach & Ocean Drive, Collins St shopping on the... More

Today is Monday January 16, 2012. It is 2:09pm in Florida. I have been on hold for more than 15 minutes trying to talk to the hotel operator.

Do not stay at this hotel they lie about prices, contain hidden fees and try to take you for everything they can from you and this is before you even get into your room.

My wife and I booked this hotel online without checking what other people are saying about their experience with this hotel, well, big mistake!! One thing I can say is that all the bad reviews are real and the good ones are either written by the hotel management or by paid actors. The elevator smells like a waching machine and... More
