“Nice hotel but expensive”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

The hotel is really well located and the rooms very large and clean. However, for the price of the room you would expect a far better service. Also expect to pay daily fees, whether you want it or not (it's not mentioned when booking online) on top of your bill to cover: beach towel, really average cold breakfast and free beers/wine from 5 pm to 6 pm ... When we asked if the breakfast was included in the room price we have been told that it was but actually this is not, you have to pay for the "spoil yourself" fees. The way it was presented let us imagined it was included in the pre-paid price, which was not.
For the price of the room, you would definitely expect a better service:
- poor breakfast : tea, coffee and cold food, sliced bread, yogurt, canned fruits, nutella.
- free wifi but but keeps shutting down which makes it really annoying
- no concierge
- the double beds are not very large
- late check in and early check out
- soaps and shampoos not systematically provided everyday
- no bathrobes
- noisy fridge, broken flush

Room Tip: I would avoid the rooms that are close to the terrace where the breakfast and the happy hours are se...

Esteemed guest,

Please accept our sincere thanks for having chosen Edgewater for your stay in South Beach. It seems your experience was not as you expected, our sincere apologies. We do have the "Spoil me" plan fee listed on our website and all other channels on the Internet but are sometimes missed by our guests.
Our services and amenities do change constantly based on our guest feedback and we hope we will get the chance to make it up to you during a future stay. I will send you my contact information in hope of discussing your stay in more detail.

“Hidden fees”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

Nice hotel but expect hidden fees that can add up to hundreds of dollars. Why they do this I will never understand.

The hotel has nice facilities and has excellent location on Ocean Drive, close to the beach. The staff is friendly and professional.

I purchased a 9 night stay using expedia.com. The purchase was made in full according to expedia. When I arrived at the front desk I was requested to sign a voucher agreeing to additional charges, up to $162 more. Of course there was no way to get another hotel or get my money back. Many apologies where given by the staff but this is the same as stealing your money. They told me that all Ocean Drive hotels did the same, so they did it. They call this extra charges, "spoiled and pampered". Which is nothing more than a European breakfast and a happy hour. Either you want them or not, you must pay 18 dlls extra a night.

Word of advise, if you pay all in advance, be warned that you still have some more to pay.

Room Tip: Beware of hidden extra costs.

Dear guest,

Thank you for your compliments on our staff, we do work very hard to make all of our guests happy. Sorry that you have missed the detail on our "Spoil me" plan fee listed on Expedia as part of the booking process. It is listed on the trip summary throughout the booking process:
"Hotel Resort Fee: Resort fee: USD 18.00 per accommodation, per night (effective 1 January 2011). Collected by hotel".
We also have it explained in detail on our website in the "Experience" section. We make a great effort to be transparent with all our taxes and fees as we understand how "hidden fees" affect a guest's perception of a hotel.
Thank you for choosing Edgewater South Beach, we hope to see you again.

“wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

we stayed in this hotel for four nights in january 2013 and we were not disappointed. The room was lovely and very spacious. It is located on ocean drive and just across the road from the beach. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Happy hour was great and for an hour on the roof terrace you were offered a compliment of beer , wine and soft drinks. we loved it!!

Room Tip: we were happy with our room although you can request sea view.

“Pure blisssss”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013 via mobile

I am in the restaurant business and believe in service. All the employees were perfect and very caring. The rooms were great and very clean. From the front desk to housekeeping everybody was always happy and willing to assist. I spent four nights there, now I want to go back and spend a month there. The location is great and the views are better. Don't be fooled by the big name hotels, this is the place. Enjoy your same.

“Perfect location and wonderful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

We picked this hotel because we wanted to be by the beach and where all the action is in South Beach. We were not disappointed. The staff at the Edgewater was very helpful in anything we might have needed - restaurant suggestions, sights to see. We enjoyed out happy hour on the roof top terrace along with the continental breakfast on the terrace in the morning. We were within steps of all the lovely Art Deco hotels along the beach right on Ocean Ave. It was perfect site for a morning stroll or to check out the evening action. Our room far exceeded our expectations. It was large, well appointed and very comfortable. I would stay here again if I came back to South Beach.
