We stayed for 2 weeks in hotel Delores. The staff made us feel very welcome. The hotel is located on a very nice place, close to the beach en close to the Art deco district. Our room was very big and comfortable, worth all our money.

Dont get taken in by the pictures of this hotel!! The 'lobby' is not really one. It can seat 3 people comfortably, and a 4th if you squeeze in. Thats it. The rooms are fine for 1 person but too small for 2 people. Its more like a 1-2 star hotel. However, the rooms are clean and comfortable with all basic ammenities. Its just that the hotel has nothing else besides 20 odd rooms and the tiny 'lobby'. Its ok if you want to use it just to sleep in the night and bathe in the morning, not if you want to lounge around in the room or anywhere else. My room window opened into the parking lot of the hotel next door. Since it was raining one day, i spent a few hours staring at the hood of a Honda, barely 3 feet away from my nose. The airconditioner is way too small for a room that size and its a split (no central aircon) that needs to be left on 24 hours a day for the room to be adequately comfortable. I spent 2 nights in the hotel and did not put it off even once, a big waste of power. Considering what i paid for the 2 nights, i would have easily got a much better property, equally well located, with a restaurant, pool and lounge. The friendliness of the staff also varied a lot dependingo on who was on duty. The 'reception' is basically 2 desks for computers and printers, the kind you see in offices. I would not stay here again simply coz the price is too steep for what little it offers.

Hotel is very well located on Collins St. close to the beach, Lincoln Mall, Ocean Drive etc., but there are a lot of hotels in the area. Staff is OK friendly when there. The “full size bed” is minimal. We had room 11, which had a window to a small alley where they had a small room with some hotel stuff, which was cooled by a noisy ventilator. We could also here the housekeepers talking there from early in the morning. So between the horrible and small bed, the humming refrigerator, the noisy AC, the shouting housekeepers and the paper thin walls it was impossible to get a decent night of sleep. The hotel went apparently through a renovation recently, but it did not look so in our room. Furthermore, the hotel advertises with free parking if there is place, which is not true. You have to pay 25 USD a day for a parking spot at their sister hotel. The breakfast was a juice and a muffin. Would not recommend this hotel and would rather not come back to Miami than stay there again.

I absolutely enjoyed my stay at the Delores it's fabulous staff very friendly and helpful..I am a Miami native but after being away for so long you start to forget where things are at. Staff were there to assist which I greatly appreciated ... I love the fact that its right on Collins a few steps away from the beach :). I've stayed at quite a few hotels on the Collins avenue strip but service and location are at it's finest at this hotel. Definitely when I do return to Miami in a few months I will definetly be coming back !
