The only good thing in The hotel is the location. We found cockroaches in our room twice. Old furniture, no elevator, bad cleaning. I would not recomend since you can also find other cheap hotels at same location. Staff was friendlly.

The Delores is a small hotel, in an old art deco building on Collins St, two blocks from Lincoln st shops, and just one block to Ocean Dr.

The lobby is small and functional, service on check in was fast and efficient, rooms are renovated, and comfortable, there are fridges in the rooms and cable tv.

For around $100 a night this place is good value, although avoid room 2, it opens onto reception!

Ok, there are some good things about this hotel like its location Collins Ave, its just a block from the beach and tourist reservation center but that is it. The hotel neither has guest parking nor valet parking, only a few spots of street parking right in front of it but since its located at Collins Ave, you would know that its not easy to get a street spot. Public parking is available about 2 or 3 blocks from the hotel and valet parking is $25 per day. So if you are coming with luggage be prepared to walk. I booked a small suite and got a room at first floor. The room size was just apt for two people, cant imagine how small it would have been if I had booked a regular room. The hotel rooms seriously need a makeover as the room appearance is extremely poor. Furniture was very old and shabby, room had a wide closet space with a safe, ironing board etc. inside.I got a queen bed with clean linen though. Poor air conditioning when its so hot and humid. Extremely weak WiFi, dirty old flooring, kitchen area was poorly lit, they only give a small fridge and a coffee maker. The room has a small flat screen TV whose remote didn't work even after changing batteries. The bathroom was very small, shower curtains old and rusty shower drain, holes in rug etc. Housekeeping was ok. Talk of continental breakfast..whatever, I didn't even care!! Overall the room quality doesn't at all justify the price paid. It doesn't appeal to you specially if you are there on vacation to relax and enjoy. Skip this one in my opinion!

I vacationed in South Beach thinking the worst about this hotel unpon my arrival, after reading reviews. They were obviously written by people that have no understanding about the styling of the Art Deco hotels. I was really impressed because this hotel has a really nice contempory decor. It was so zen, peaceful and relaxing. The room was small, staying with the typical Art Deco design. Well worth this visit and I will stay at this location for visits in the future. I didnt have a problem with room service, concierge, nor receiving my beach towels, Catherina even offered a beach umbrella.

The mattresses on the platform bed were OMG soft. I pulled the linen back, so that I could WHAT I was laying on. The mattress was soooo soft. I slept through the harshesh part of Hurricane Issac with no problem.

There was a room safe, iron, ironing board, two, yes two handheld hairdryers, toiletries, clean sheets, swept floor and daily room service.

The continental breakfast was exactly what was to be expected, muffins, juice and fruit. The breakfast setup was conveniently located in the main hallway, so you don't have to get completely dressed for breakfast.

Conveinance is the name of the game with this hotel. It is around the courner from Espanola Way, a block away from the tour reservation shop, 2 blocks from Loews Hotel, and one block over from the beach (you can safefly cut through the alleys, instead of walking around the city block. There is a $9.99 buffet around the corner on Williams St., with a miniMart next door, AND there is a Walgreens coming soon.

I felt very safe staying here alone. I decided to sit on the porch one early morning. The gentleman that was working the front desk, slid his chair over so that he could keep and eye on me. (awesome!!!!!)

I will definetly be back! My only negative is that I wish that there was a customer rewards program.

Oh yeah!!!! I left my bottle opener at home, their "sister" hotel waiter opened it for me with no problem. And he refuse to accept a tip! (awesome!!!!)
