“Good value, quiet beach right there, but need a car”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

This hotel is really well-priced, but be aware that it is not a four star hotel and not really walking distance to South Beach. Having said that, I think many of the previous reviews were unfair and this review is in light of it's great value price for Miami.

Pros: All the basics are there it is safe, clean, staff was professional, air con, swimming pool on site, free parking, close to North Miami Beach and nice parks - you can totally walk to a great beach that is not very crowded in 5 minutes if you just go due east a few blocks, which could be great for families or anyone just looking to relax. If you go north ten blocks you'll find a few shops and restaurants, a pharmacy, etc. It's very much away from the fray and noise of South Beach.

Cons: Fewer good restaurants in walking distance (George's Italian on 72nd St is amazing though, wine deals on Tuesdays, 15 min walk south - recommended!), need to drive or cab it to South Beach for going out (we took one cab late at night for 21$), a lot of the on site parking has you backing out onto a main thoroughfare right after a bend (yikes)

Tips: There are a few buses, which only set you back 2$ if you're not in a hurry. About 4 or 5 routes take you to South Beach in 30 minutes and they come every 10-15minutes during the day and every haf hour all night. There are some buses to downtown too although we didn't use them. I would also recommend paring around the side of the hotel on 86 St NOT on Harding Ave itself, as it is a bit tricky backing out into traffic with poor visibility and traffic going quite quick. I mean, it is obviously doable but I personally hate backing out onto a busy road and there's a quieter side street so why stress!

“Great Budget Place to Stay, off the beaten path”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012

The Beach Place Hotel is not the 4 Seasons, lets get that out of the way. This hotel is your basic run of the mill hotel, no frills. I don't say this to be mean or disparage the hotel, I say it because it is, what it is. I picked this hotel for the affordability, and the proximity to the beach. I didn't pick this hotel for its extra features. I needed a place to sleep, that was quiet, clean and comfortable; and this hotel hit on all marks.
I was unaware this hotel had a pool, which was a plus when I didn't feel like laying on the beach, I could chill by the pool. The hotel has free WiFi which I also didn't know about, which was another huge plus as my Sprint service sucked in that area for some reason. They also have a computer in the lobby which you can use for free.
The room was very clean, and although we didn't use the housekeeping services, I always saw them walking around cleaning the facility. I did leave a tip for Doris, our housekeeper as the room was a little messy.
The only negatives I had about my stay were the Venetian blinds in the room, and the parking. The blinds didn't cover the windows properly at the end, and I sometimes felt like people could see in at night. If you weren't parked by a certain time, parking was hard to find .
I would stay at this hotel again if I was in the area. Its not far from nightlife in South Beach, but not so close where you feel like you're in the party.

Room Tip: If you can find a good parking spot, park and walk if you have to go somewhere close. Parking is to...

“Better than many reviews for the $”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012 via mobile

For the $, beach place was a good three night stay. Room was clean, staff friendly and helpful. No frills. Parking was free and plentiful, a real plus for Miami.
Since, I had a car, the location was ok, however, as others have noted, it is a long was to any type of food or activity. The beach is vey close and access through a large public park was nice.

Try it if you are on a budget!
