“Great Stay/Great Price/Great Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013

After being forced to move from a far less superior hotel late one evening, we were able to book ourselves into this hotel after10PM at night! Even at that time of day, staff were enthusiastic, helpful and sympathetic to our situation. The room was clean, warm and welcoming. The location, near major highways (10-15 minutes to MIA), was a bonus. The grounds/landscaping/fountains etc are all tastefully done and a photographer's paradise. The entire resort area was clean and gave us the feeling of safety and security.

The only complaint we had with this hote is that we can't find anything to complain about!

Kudos to the front desk staff who put a whole new meaning to the word "friendly", and to all the maintenance staff who keep this area looking like a 5 star location.

If you are looking for great value for your hard-earned dollar, a stress-free stay and service which sets the bar, this might be the place for you!

Thanks for an incredible stay after an unfortunate previous hotel choice in the same area!

“Not an amazing hotel...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

I stayed in this hotel for a few weeks last year, and the couple things made an impression on me. Why I did not have ants or bugs crawling around my room like other reviewers (luckily), my thermostat broke on the first night and was unable to turn the air conditioning on. After this, I had to regulate the temperature manually by turning the cooling system on and off as required. This was the start of a few issues I had.

While the room is okay overall, I found the air conditioning to be very ineffective. After just a week my papers felt down and it seemed like the humidity could not be gotten rid of! For Miami, this is very poor.

Finally, the shower was very stiff to turn on and off, I even had to call maintenance a couple times to help me get it off.

I do not see myself returning to this location.

grouse4scouse - Thank you for posting a review of your August 2012 stay at Shula's Hotel. We are sorry to hear about some of the issues you encountered during your stay. At the time we were in full swing with our renovations and have since completed our guestrooms and common area refreshing. We hope you would reconsider giving Shula's another opportunity to show you what changes we have made since your last visit and turn your August experience around. Thank you again for your time.

Safe Travels.

“Nice location, good service, some drawbacks”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

Our room had new floors on the 1st floor near the jacuzzi. The room was nice, clean though the hallways were in need of new carpet and some renovation as it smelled a lot like beer. The hotel has a lot of events so it does get noisy at times. Stay away from the room near the jacuzzi as it gets noisy as it's open 24 hours a day.

Front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. Well trained. Provided an extra bed and fridge for us as well as picking up a ton of packages reliably.

Location is great, near the airport and central to most areas in Miami. Safe area with services nearby. Has an athletic center, golf course and restaurants associated with the property.

Hotel is a bit dated and is need of some renovation. I'd come back again. Not a Hyatt but certainly good value for what we paid.

Room Tip: Stay away from rooms near the jacuzzi

will678021 - Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience at Shula's with us. We are in our final phase of completing or renovation and believe that the beer odor may have been caused by a guest accidentally. We have also recently changed the policy regarding the hours as we recognized the fact that after hours use may disturb guests nearby and do apologize for the noise. We appreciate the kind words regarding the staff and will be sure to share your comments with them.

Thank you again and safe travels

“Better off at Holiday Inn”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2013

Be sure to check in if you want to stay up all night, plunging your own toilet and drinking native insects.
Pros- excellent neighborhood where you can walk to dinner and feel safe. Cons- Toilet clogged daily, even with just 3 sheets of paper. I was delivered a plunger at 3am since the "engineer" was out (see later con on clientele). Maids cleaning 8am-8pm, service staff is very boisterous, they often block the elevator. Zero sound-proofing to the hallway or other rooms. On a weeknight, next door clubbers were yelling for hours despite complaints to the front desk who claimed they sent "security". About 20 ants found drowned in bedside water glass in the morning. Dresser drawer would not stay shut, convenient for shin bruising. Hotel would not give us a new room to evade any of these issues.

Room Tip: First floor (hard to get elevator), away from elevator (where service break rooms are noisy).

“Disappointment”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

While the hotel is lovely and clean, especially for Miami, I am diappointed by the lack of follow up by the staff. One of my bags went missing in the hotel lobby. When I realized it I went to inquire at the front desk if anyone found it. i was assured it was not found. The next day, after my departure, my fiance called and asked for a manager. He was informed they had my bag with my wallet, keys, passport etc all along - locked in a bellmans closet. Allegedly another guest gave it to the front desk. They apologized for my inconvenience and promised to fedex it at their cost right away. It's four days later and a front desk associate called to inform us that they'd only mail it if I paid for it. Since when do front desk associates override managers decisions? So, as of today, my bag is being held hostage by the staff at Shulas - four days after my departure. I have no keys, no wallet, have had to cancel credit and bank cards and am inconvenienced even more. I was assured by a manager that the GM would call us back today to speak to us regarding this ordeal, but we still haven't heard from him either. All in all, any good thoughts I had of this hotel are long gone. If the staff can't follow up on a simple issue, and the management team allows its associates to override their decisions and behave rudely, they obviously aren't a reputable establishment. I'm really curious to see what's left in my bag if I ever receive it.

Gibbs B - We are very sorry for the delay in shipping your bag to you but are glad that your bag was found with all its contents. Our staff handles a number of lost & found property left by guests in the hotel and typically return the items to the rightful owner fairly quickly. We admit we had an off day in handling your bag and we sincerely apologize for the inconveniences it may have caused you. We have reviewed this scenario with our staff to ensure these requests continue to be handled as expeditiously as possible. Thank you for sharing your experience.
