“High on Hype, Low on Quality”

Whitelaw Hotel

Nov 16, 2005
11/13 found this review helpful

- Checkin was poor. Too be blunt, I thought the man was incompetent.
- Checkout was easy and fast.
- Do not accept a room on the main floor. Those can be noisy. The rooms in the back on the upper floors are quieter. If it had not been for drunken guests banging on my door, or screaming in the hall, or the hotel employee using his walkie talkie gizmo on high volume at 2AM we would have slept soundly most nights. To be fair, this hotel is quieter than other hotels on the strip if you get the right room.
- The air conditioner was tempermental., meaning that it regularly went off and had to be reset.
- I got the impression that the so called happpy hour complimentary drinks are non existant if you are not a pretty girl that flirts with the bartender.
- Housekeeping staff are friendly. They smile and say good morning.
- One day my room wasn't cleaned until 5:30pm and it wouldn't have been cleaned had I not asked the maid 2X
- No visible management presence.
- The bathrooms are a safety concern as the shower is an open concept,with the only drain on the other side of the 3 inch divider. The net result is that the bathroom floor floods and is slippery. I have no idea where the water is supposed to drain, unless its into the wall and floor, or your clothes if you leave them on the floor.
- Fairly new bathroom with some elbow room. Compared to other hotels on the strip, it was newer and roomier.
- No "bathrobes" in the room, which were advertised.
- Decent bed
- The Adult safety kit which provided condoms, lubricants and massage oils provided a laugh.
- Compared to other hotels on the strip, it's no better or worse. I fell for the hype on the website, but I learnt my lesson. No repeat stay from me. This is a hotel suited for college age types between the ages of 19 and 27.

“Hated the Whitelaw Hotel”

Whitelaw Hotel

3/3 found this review helpful

Too many miscellaneous charges. They charged for resort fee which they dont even have a pool. Noisy, small rooms. Long waits at the check in counter as well as the valet service.

“Never again”

Whitelaw Hotel

Oct 22, 2005
3/4 found this review helpful

A hurricane was going to hit around the time we went. The people were very rude and unhelpful. They didn't want to arrange transportation to the airport. We asked for them to call around for a hotel closer to the airport. Nothing was available when they called but when I called there was rooms. When we got back home...the hotel had charged me 3 TIMES!!! It took weeks and weeks to get the money back and they still charged us for the night which we didn't stay...never again...I work for a travel agency and that hotel will never be used here.

“Loved the Whitelaw”

Whitelaw Hotel

Oct 19, 2005
1/2 found this review helpful

After a Horrible night at The Tropic's Hotel we made a reservation with The Whitelaw Hotel and I must say my friend and I were extremely comfortable with the Whitelaw. They staff members were great and very helpful with all our needs, the rooms I must say were the cleanest I've ever seen. All in white very cozy, great pillows and comforters in which I loved. The bathroom was super clean with towels, soap, shampoo, etc. The closet they had was the cutest with the mini bar in it. The main floor also a Lounge area and it was fun. I was sad to leave because we had a great time in Miami Beach but I would deffinately STAY AT THEWHITELAW again it's pricey but so worth it.

“Very nice hotel...good experience.”

Whitelaw Hotel

Oct 12, 2005

4 of us stayed to the whitelaw a couple days to relax in sobe, and everything went pretty smooth. the staff was friendly and made sure everything went well. the room was very nice, beds were comfortable. room was a little small, but not too bad. the location is very good, a short walk to the beach, clubs, shops etc... overall we had a very good stay, no problems at all. the rate we got made it 2 times better. $105/night. i would recommend this hotel for a trip to miami.
