Me and my friend went for the Winter Music Conference and this was the perfect hotel for a cheap price. To be fair we didn't spend much time in the hotel as we were out partying, but it was a good place to get out head down for the few hours we did sleep and to get ready in. The... more

This Hotel is hilarious! I read all the reviews before staying here, and I thought I knew what to expect but it was worse. When we first checked in the front desk staff Sonja was pleasent and helpful. She told us to ride the "elevator" up to our floor, but the elevator was so dated and old, I thought I... more

Despite all the bad critics on this hotel we decided to chose it anyway and would do it again. The rooms are old but the bed was comfortable, we had a working airconditioning, hot water and the staff was really nice. We paid 69$ a night so what do you expect for this price? The location is great, within minutes... more

I had booked this hotel not expecting much more than a convenient place to sleep while in South Beach for 2 days before going on a cruise. When we arrived, it was a little difficult to get the front desk person to come out of the back office but she eventually did and was very friendly and helpful. The lobby... more

This place was the butt of our jokes, we looked forward to leaving. Don't even bother people. Windows don't close, ac doesn't work right, cockroaches, dirty carpets as well as tubs and sheets and towels, no customer service what so ever. No Breakfast liked we were promised, pool was dirty, elevator is from the 50's and is dangerous. when you... more

I'm not a picky traveler- but this place was ridiculous. GOOD THINGS: 2 blocks from beach. Close to everything. THE REST: The windows do NOT open in this hotel. NONE of them do. (Isn't that unlawful somehow?) I have to say, this ruined my whole experience. Altho there was AC, There was NO ventilation, my beach towel started to mildew.... more

I stayed here for a week whilst working at the Convention Centre. The location is great but the hotel is SO tired. These photos are totally made up - there's no carpet in the foyer, the main shot is of a different hotel :) - I was grateful to be close to the beach and Convention Centre but this is... more

Booked through Superbreak for a stay at Atlantic Beach Hotel. Got transferred on the day we arrived there to this "hotel". It's not worth the land it's built on. It was a nightmare that nearly ruined our holiday. The lift did not work so we had to carry our own bags up to the third floor, despite the fact I'm... more

We arrived Nov 2008 at this hotel, saw our room, and quickly left. For some reason, hotels need to be at least 3 star in Miami South Beach area. Anything "2 star" or below looks like roach motel. Bel Air looks like a 1/2 star place, if that. Don't stay here until the renovations are finished, when it will be... more

When I got the name of the hotel that Priceline had given me I was really annoyed as I had paid over the odds for a hotel that had really really bad reviews. The hotel is well located 2 blocks from the ocean but it is very basic with some real problems. The staff are friendly and do their best... more
