“Great location and ok hotel but wouldn't stay again”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

Pros:

-Great location right at the beginning of the Ocean Drive restaurant area and directly across from the beach (although it's a 4 block walk to Bentley's stretch of the beach).

-Nice rooms. Spacious with lovely marble floors. The bed was extremely comfortable.

-The rooms are well equipped. I was impressed with the fully stocked liquor and snack bar. The items were very reasonably priced for a hotel. There was also a fridge, microwave and sink.

-Excellent housekeeping staff. The rooms were very clean.

-The Bentley Beach Club chairs were very comfortable and the food and drinks were excellent and reasonably priced.

-The complimentary breakfast was quite good and could be eaten on the nice little patio overlooking the beach.


Cons:

-Although the beach is across the street it's a 4 block walk to the Bentley Beach Club.

-The hotel needs to renovate the hallways, which are very grubby looking.

-The website is misleading in terms of the pool area, which in reality is quite run down and not very large. The pool is only between 3 and 4 feet deep. While doing laps in the pool I kept scraping my knee changing direction.

-The hotel sign is not easily seen from outside and to get to the lobby you must take an elevator. To get to your room you must walk down a different hallway and take a different elevator. This doesn't seem like a big deal but gets tiresome very quickly.

-The temperature in our room seemed to fluctuate constantly even though we did not touch the temperature dial. Each morning we woke up feeling extremely warm. The air conditioning was also very noisy.

-There is no shelf in the shower to place your toiletries on.

-The phone was ancient and very dirty (although generally speaking the room was extremely clean and the housekeeping staff was excellent).

-The key cards were very temperamental.

-There was one front desk staff member who was very warm and welcoming while another that we dealt with was not exactly welcoming and our presence seemed to be a nuisance to him.

Overall was just an ok hotel. Probably wouldn't stay there again to be honest.

Room Tip: Try to get a room with a view. Ours overlooked a brick wall.

“Cozy, Modern, Classic and Beach Access/Items included!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2013

This place was just plain awesome. My wife and I left another hotel to stay here for the night. The room was a suite. It was very spacious with a huge walk-in shower. Best place we have ever stayed in Miami Beach!

Room Tip: Try to get a room on the outside of the building to have a view of Miami Beach. But, the internal r...

“Great Hotel and Awesome Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

We booked this hotel for a bachelorette party and there were 6 girls. We booked our reservation on Priceline and it stated that the room was a two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse. However, once we arrived we learned that there are no two-bathroom suites on the premises. When I called Priceline to report the discrepancy, they were less than helpful. After an hour on the phone with them, their best solution was to cancel the reservation and see what other accommodations they had available for the weekend. Mind you it was after 4pm and a holiday weekend so the odds of finding a place were slim to none. The hotel on the other hand was fabulous. They accommodated us into two wonderful rooms and compensated us as well. The hotel is in a great location and and the rooms were great. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Miami Beach.

Room Tip: The penthouses have great terraces!

“Best location ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

The location of the Hotel is just excellent. Right on the ocean drive. It has direct beach access . The staff is very courteous. We got a free bottle of wine during our stay :). The rooms are just awesumm .. I must mention the bath , It was gorgeous and humongous. The views are just spectacular. You can walk down to many restaurants .

Room Tip: Select the one with the ocean view. Almost all have balconies and you will love the sunrise !!
