“Red Miami Stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2013

Was less that please with room and cheap feel it gave for the price for the night, lobby and pool area give great impression of property. Rooms are less than what thought, dobut would stay here again unless they fix the cheap feel.

“Nice hotel for the money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

This is a nice, clean and comfortable hotel for the money. It is a little off the beaten path from all the hotels and bars, but still walkable and the service is very good. It's also a bit quieter than the hotels in the heart of SB.

“I wouldn't recommend it.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

I've seen some outstanding reviews and I can't believe I was at the same hotel. It was so noisy in the pool and outdoor restaurant I couldn't hear myself talk. The street and construction noise are deafening. We had a pool side room and the black out shade did keep out the noise. I had to call the front desk three times to find out how to work the stopper in the sink. The beds were small and lumpy. The room was old and run down. There was a large closet that was nice for changing with a refrigerator and a safe. The television was a very old 25 inch. The location to the beach was good for me because I prefer being away from the populated beach areas. The food and service in the restaurant were very good but I wouldn't recommend eating outside. My teenagers hated it. I definitely would not stay here or recommend it. It's just not for me.

“very hit and miss”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

i had intended to stay elsewhere but the hotel ended up being closed for renovations and my travel agent suggested red as it had a few of my key requirements - parking and breakfast. both which were sub bar. the breakfast was a croissant, the parking expensive (valet) and any time you needed your car you needed to give them at least an hour notice, upon which they will still not have it in time for you. the location isnt too bad, a nice walk to ocean drive, but i like a walk. i would recommend the location if you didnt want to be right in the middle of the party scene. the pluses for us were the lobby decor and the rooms were nice but that is about it. and the biggest downfalls were the smell throughout the hotel - it stank and the slowness/incapable lifts - we had to use the fire escape to get to our tour bus!

Thank you for your review on your recent stay. Our restaurant Barok offers a lovely continental breakfast which included pastry basket: baggett , Danish , muffin, croissant, jams and your choice of hot. You also have the option of selecting of the menu for a 50% discount. Our valet parking cost is comparable to the hotels in the area. We have recently secured a closer parking area. We have cut the wait time drastically to 7-10 minutes. We have also completed a modernization of our elevator on December 22, 2012. We are delighted that you enjoyed the proximity to the beach and our room accommodations. We would love for you to return to Red South Beach and enjoy these new amenities. If you need any assistance on a future stay please feel free to contact me personally: Miriam@redsouthbeach.com

“Very cool and trendy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

I was happily surprised by the cool and trendy atmosphere at this hotel. I went during the Christmas holidays and I could not believe how comfortable I felt. It seemed like it was a friend's house and I felt welcome from the moment I set foot in. I also enjoyed the restaurant downstairs which could easily compete with high-end restaurants.
Thank you RED!!!
