Filthy bathroom and terrible customer service. It might be on South Beach, but for the price we paid we expected much better. We were advised that the hotel was 100% non-smoking, however upon entering our room we discovered it stunk of cigarette smoke. (Not a problem for us, however many would be turned off by it.)

The bathroom was disgusting, even compared to 1 star hostels we have previously stayed at (see photos). On one night, the toilet overflowed and flooded the bathroom floor. We called reception, who told us we would have to wait until 8am when housekeeping arrived, and that we should just put some towels down. The next morning, we called reception to ask if we could be moved to another room. They were very rude about the whole matter and advised that no, we could not be moved, as they were still taking reservations (!). Housekeeping took more than an hour to arrive to clean the bathroom.

The only positive aspects of the hotel are the large pool area and the location, which is literally a minute's walk away from the beach. There is a pub next door which offers cheap beers, and a great Mediterranean restaurant a block away. Tip: if you need to get to the airport from here, take a bus rather than a taxi. It is only approx. $1 and the bus stop is right across the street. By the way, this is now called Seagull Hotel Miami Beach (not Days Inn).

We booked this on the Internet as it showed up as Days Inn in the picture, which was probably from the 1980's. The reception area is quite pleasant but the lift was like a service lift in a store, outdated. The landing was disgusting there were yellow stains in patches of the green carpet everywhere, outside of rooms and in general in the hallway. The majority of the doors to the rooms looked as though they have had a good kicking in, very scary thought. Our room was thoroughly disgusting damaged door, broken security lock, horrible beds, horrible bathroom, funny smell in room. In it's hey day most likely 1980's the place was maybe once something because of the prime beach views. We did not stay, we left and checked out immediately and went to the Continental hotel down the road.

I was booked into this horrible hotel by our travel agent. We arrived and were told to wait in the cold for hours to check in. The lift was old, when we arrived to the second floor, there was a maintenance man fixing all the broken locks on the door. It was like someone had kicked the doors down. When we opened our room door it smelt so bad, the carpets were wet. I went to open the window and it fell on my foot. I decided to use the bathroom and there were pubic hairs all over the toilet and sink. They hadn't even bothered to clean the bathroom. The shower was black in color. The beds were old and smelly. We did not stay any longer, we couldn't breath the smell was that bad. We checked out as soon as we could. This place is known according to other hotels in the area as the worst, and needs to be shut down. How it passes the health authorities I do not know. Try the South Seas hotel around the corner, it was amazing and the staff are so nice. Facilities are of high quality. Days Inn which is now called Seagull Inn ruined our stay in Miami. Do not waste your money!!!!!

I checked in w/o first checking the reviews. The young girl at the front desk was friendly enough. She checked me into room 608. I went up to room 608. Hallway had flickering lights, dirt on walls and floor. I opened the door to my room, it was pitch black inside. Propped my bags up against the wall only to see someone rise out of the bed saying "Hunh?". My heart jumped and I said "Sorry" and got out of there.
Went back downstairs and said I'd like to check out. Here's what the manager said:
"Sorry, you booked this online, our policy is to charge for the first night.". I called American Express to cancel the reservation, they told me the same thing. So I was stuck for the night. They put me in another room, non-smoking.
Got to me room. The lock had obviously been forced before. Went inside after pushing hard against the door. In the AC unit was a full, unlit cigarette. I opened the door to the balcony, again the lock had been forced and the faceplace was completely missing.
I went out to get something to eat. When I came back I tried to turn on the lights. Both lights above my bed were not working. Only the floor lamp and bathroom light worked. I barricaded the door as best I could and went to bed. Checked out the next day. Told my story to a different manager on the way out, he gave me a 50% rebate.
