“Very good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

I booked this place because I needed a bit of TLC after a month backpacking through Mexico. I was really surprised at how lovey my apartment was. Very clean, the bed was fantastic and there was an excellent stereo system and two televisions. The grounds themselves are lovely, especially at night when it's all lit up. It's about a five to ten minute walk to the shops. The only annoying thing was having to pick up the key from a different hotel. My flight landed mid-evening, not actually that late, but they close the reception at 6pm. The cab driver was very kind and waited for me while I checked into the other place. The wifi was fast. The ladies at the desk were reasonably friendly. I got a great deal on booking.com so overall this place was a steal. I would return.

“Sunbrite Apartments”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 3, 2012

My husband and I spent our wedding anniversary week in Miami June 29 - July 5, 2012 and we loved these apartments!!! I had been searching for an inexpensive Hotel in South Beach which is almost impossible to find and I was about to give up when I just happend to find Sunbrite.
They we cheaper than ALL the other hotels we looked at and when we arrived it was nicer than the pictures!! We reserved a studio and were upgraded to the 1 bedroom apt at no extra charge!!! It is huge, clean and close to EVERYTHING!!!
We purposely did not rent a car because we were in walking distance to everything South Beach has to offer, Lincoln Rd, Espanola Way, the beach!!!! all just a short walk away...it was close to everything but in a quiet neighborhood all at the same time.
The apartments and the grounds are very nice and the staff was friendly and helpful......we will definately stay here again!!

Room Tip: All the rooms are great and very spacious either the studio or the 1 bedroom apt.

“Ok Location and room but... Never Again!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 15, 2012

We booked 8 nights at penn station. After arrival we had to checkin at the partner hotel. We had to wait for more than 1h to get the key. They gave us another apartment instead of the one we booked. I have had already paid the apartment before visiting miami, so they charged me again the whole amount instead of the deposit!! Next day we had to take a chat with the lady of the apartment. She told us they will refund me the amount. Well, after 3 days no refund was done, but they charged another time the whole amount! So we had to change our plan to take another chat with them. At the end, they refund us the 2 charging. As well the thought we'll stay only 7 nights instead of 8 I've booked. (I have the receipt).
No toaster available in the apartment.
One night we could not sleep due of terrible noise.

Summary: Good location - Nice Apartment - TERRIBLE organisation,

Room Tip: Rooms in Drexel Ave ave are better located but facilities are better in penn. ave.

“Diabolical!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 24, 2012 via mobile

It was an absolute nightmare! Leaking water above our head - front door had loose hinges. The manager was rude and extremely unhelpful and told us to leave if we weren't happy, instead of trying to rectify the problem. What a joke!!!! We stayed one night and moved to another hotel.
Never EVER again!!!!!! It may be cheaper than the average appartment but don't be fooled. Safety is paramount and should always come first. Obviously not in the site manager, Anna's case. There was someone else from the sunbrite at our new hotel who had the same issues and complaints about Anna. We had a very LUCKY escape!

Cindy K,

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. We are sadden to hear, Sunbrite was not the hotel for you. Our front doors to all the rooms face the patio. Our patio is an open air patio and when it rains the patio is exposed to the elements. This design was created when the building was built in the 1940's. Most of the art deco buildings were designed this way. As for the front door hinges this was an isolated incident and was rectified immediately. We hope after your request to transfer hotels that the Tradwinds was to your liking. We hope you reconsider and return for the true Sunbrite experience.

Thank you,

Steven Morales

“Cool place in a great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 22, 2012

I stayed here for a month while on a consulting project and really enjoyed it. It's really setup as an apartment complex around a great little courtyard that has a few tables for dining and outdoor patio furniture with umbrellas in a nicely landscaped setting.

The apartments are fully furnished and have amenities like hair dryer, iron and ironing table, kitchen area (with some dishes), towels, soap, etc. just like in a hotel, but they only clean once per week.

The location is excellent, a block and a half away from Espanola Way (a pedestrian street with restaurants) and only four blocks from the beach.

Room Tip: Try La Sandwicherie, only a block and a half away off the corner of Washington and 14th Street. Gre...
