Thank you for the room and time of the booking! It was clean and safe. Not too many issues. At the property, a gym would have been nice. More food options too. The communication was a plus before and during my stay!

Everyone says that the Generator hotels in the US are pretty bad, compared to the ones in Europe and I have read myself a LOT of negative evaluations about the Generator Miami, from homeless people allowed to use the swimming pool (and security turning the blind eye to it) to terrible customer services. Unfortunately I booked a room there because of the location. I originally booked a female dorm with 4 beds and before my trip to Miami I decided that I wanted a private room (which they also offer) so I emailed them asking about an upgrade. My original room was already paid so I just would have to pay for the difference, right? Well, the staff tried to charge me the full price for a single room, refused to give me a break down explaining how they got to those numbers and even tried to make me pay for the fees again (resort fees, etc). I am in the hotel business myself and I was flabbergasted when I realized that this hostel was trying to take advantage of me! The more I questioned them about why they wanted me to pay for TWO rooms instead of charging the difference of price between them, the more they ignored me until it got to a point where I am being completely ignored and neglected by them - and I didn’t even arrive yet. They tainted my whole guest experience already and the first impression I had is definitely the worst one. The staff is not qualified or prepared to deal with a simple guest inquiry and the fact that they ignored THREE emails that I sent tells me a lot about how I am going to be treated once I get there which by the way is scary! I am leaving this comment here in the hopes that management will read it and fix the issues, contact me and provide me a proper solution. And I will come back here after my staying in order to evaluate the services provided and the hotel itself. The generator Miami still have time to fix this and I really hope they will because their lack of empathy and excellence concerns me a lot and I will not be quiet about it.…
