We went for a long weekend with several of our friends. It was exactly what we were looking for a good party! Service was excellent, Chad was very helpful and friendly offering to arrange rides to and from the airport and even order us a bottle for our room. There was always something going on at the hotel. Would definetly return to the Clevelander.

I stayed at The Clevelander with my best friend for our 30th....it was exactly what we needed with the party atmosphere.
1. Staff were friendly and professional especially Domingo and Chad. Chad was able to set up bottle service for us at a local club for a pretty good deal. He even sent a complimentary bottle to our room when he found out that we were in town for our birthday.
2. DJ was on point all weekend playing top 40 hits.
3. Their daily happy hour was quite cheap compared to the prices in South Beach.
4. I recommend the ocean view rooms because they are bigger; I had the pool view room which was on the smaller side but ok for 2 people. Rooms were cleaned on a daily basis.
5. If you are looking to stay here for a quiet weekend, I definitely do not recommend it! This is truly party central and it worked out perfectly for my 30th.

Me and my girlfriend arrived at The hotel After 5 days in new York in search of good weather and fun. Since the initial minute the staff treat us very very good. The bar is awesome, The rooms are Well designed and quiet (that Was very surprising taking in considertion that the music is really loud at the Bar) , you can also use the pool in the essex house which is small but cosy and there's an exellent asian restaurant next to it. Thank you to all the people that runs the hotel , specially to Lyle and Eric for their help and kindness

We booked a room at the Clevelander several months ago for a recent long weekend in January. We had read the reviews online, so we thought we knew what to expect. We thought the location was perfect and that we could put up with a few inconveniences. There were 4 of us traveling and we had two rooms booked. As soon as we stepped out of the cab in front of the hotel we got worried! Loud, booming music was coming off the hotel courtyard and onto the street. We checked in with the very friendly staff and were immediately brought pina coladas. We walked into our room and loved it. It was a corner room on the fourth floor looking out over the courtyard and beach. Our luggage arrived shortly after and everything in the room was explained to us. The room was on the small side, but very clean and modern with lots of natural light. Our second uh-oh moment was when we saw the earplugs on the nightstand. We immediately headed out for dinner and drinks with our friends. We got back about midnight and because we had traveled that day (Thursday) we were tired and decided to go to bed. We did exactly that, went to bed, but not to sleep. Not only was the music loud (the earplugs did help), the light show from the bar came right through our bathroom window, and you could literally feel the vibration from the booming music. This went on until about 3:30 in the morning. Having had little sleep, we met our friends for breakfast and expected they had the same kind of night. We were surprised when they said they slept well. The were in a room in the front of the building facing the street, but not the courtyard. They said they had to use their earplugs, but slept fairly well. We immediately requested a room change and after they gave us a little bit of a hard time, they put us in a room at the sister hotel immediately behind the Clevelander, the Essex. The room at the Essex was pretty standard, but clean and QUIET! We are middle aged and like to have a good time, but the Clevelander is clearly party central for Ocean drive. If you have any doubts about staying here based on the reviews you read, do not stay at the Clevelander. You can stay close by and still go there to party if you wish. We would not book a room here again.
