Fantastic location, fantastic rates for very basic accommodations in the heart of South Beach. The super friendly and helpful front desk staff welcomed me and my friends to this very "cute" boutique hotel right off Collins Avenue. I likened it to an "upscale youth hostel" based on my observance that there was not one single guest that seemed to be over 30. I also felt that the communal help yourself daily breakfast albeit quite sparse with its selection of bagels and french bread, one type of muffin, coffee and OJ lent the feel of the place to a hostel as well. The property is well maintained and spotlessly clean including the rooms (the hallway carpets however are in dire need of replacing). The rood top deck is a wonderful place to take in the sunset. The placement of a stair-master exercise machine in the hallway was a clever but silly way to offer gym facilities without actually offering a gym. This hotel lacks a pool, and other amenities which is reflected in the room rates. The rooms are modern minimalist, but quite nice considering the lack of soft surfaces. My only real complaint was the bed itself. It is an "Ikea" type platform with a very thin and firm mattress that after a three night stay grew quite old.

The hotel and the rooms are simple but nice in the Art Deco style maintained. The small kitchen with a simple breakfast buffet is also refilled diligently. It's ideal if you don't necessarily want steak with fried eggs for breakfast. You feel immediately comfortable in this hotel and the price / performance ratio is right on every case.

I was lucky enough to travel to South Beach during Tropical Storm Isaac. The Townhouse is conveniently located on the 20th block of Collins Ave.

The rooms are very crisp and clean. It is a no frills hotel, but what else do you need? We were hoping to take advantage of their complimentary bikes and chairs for the beach. Unfortunately Isaac had other plans for us. The amenities at least sounded nice!

Breakfast was very basic, but included when you are spending a ton of money in South Beach. Bagels, croissants, pastries and hard boiled eggs. They have an espresso machine, juice and milk as well.

If you want great drinks close by walk to Liquor Lounge at 15th and Collins. They make the best mojitos in all of South Beach! Really if you want to get anywhere in South Beach from Townhouse, you can walk or you can take a fairly inexpensive cab ride. The front desk led us to our favorite night at Mangoes on Ocean Drive!

The front desk is very friendly and excited to give you different ideas of things to do and see. I would definitely stay here again. Hopefully next time I can when there isn't a hurricane!

The Townhouse in Miami is a nice Hotel near to the center of Miami Beach.
You can reach everything easily by foot.

Staff: very friendly and helpful. You feel welcome.
Rooms: are very bright and clean. but there are only the most necessary things in it.
Breakfast: ok, but not much variety.
Rooftop with nice view and sound.

To spend a few days in Miami - perfect. Would go there again for a next time!
