Great location and 2 mins from south beach. We were in room 136 and no view but quiet and bed was very comfortable and clean. Continental breakfast was included and service was excellent.
We have stayed in larger group hotels in Miami and for couples this is ideal as no car needed and all amenities on doorstep. Trips can be booked from reception and recommend a trip to Sawgrass Mills designer outlet for 30 Dollars per person return and pick-up from hotel. Alfredo the concierge was very helpful as was the reception with information. There was great ambiance in this area and food in hotel was reasonably priced in comparison to area.
We will book this hotel again when in Miami and highly recommend it.

My friends and I visited during the the transition of new management from Blue Moon Hotel to Marriott Autograph Collection. With this new crossover, was the new opening of the restaurant. Naturally with any transition, there were hiccups initially. But after a few discussions and clarification, management went above and beyond to accommodate me and my group of friends. The restaurant is hands down, amazing. I don't think I've ever wanted to eat within a hotel's restaurant by choice until this one. The executive chef made sure everything was perfect to our liking. The location is a great, prime location without a ton of noise, as if on Ocean Drive. It's central to the beach, eateries and shops from 5th street to Lincoln Ave. Now the big money question...would I stay here again? Oh so happily.

I stayed at the Blue Moon for a week in September 2012 while in town for a conference. I was so glad that I'd canceled my reservation at the (more expensive) conference hotel and opted for the Blue Moon. The location was right in the middle of the South beach action and shopping. The hotel had FREE wi-fi for guests. I was pleasantly surprised when the included continental breakfast was served at a table, by the waitstaff - no buffet and make-your-own waffles. Overall - this was a good fit for my needs, and I had a great time in Miami.

The Blue Moon just went through an extensive remodel and became a part of Marriott's Autograph Collection. To me, that sounded like a good thing, so I gave it a try. The problem was, the new construction was poorly done. For example, the gap under the door from the hall was way to big, the shelf in the bathroom was loose, the marble window sill was not properly cut to size, and the manufacturer's label's were still on the windows.
All of that is disappointing, but I could live with it. Losing sleep, however, is more of an issue to me. I was assigned a room at the end of the corridor, but unfortunately anyone talking could be heard through the nearly one inch opening under the door. Also, the maid's cart was left directly outside my room for my entire stay. That was unsightly, but more importantly, it seemed that there was a lack in overall quality control.
I did like the design of the rooms and the restaurant was reasonably priced and creative.
