Miami Beach Hotel Guide - Boutique Hotels in Miami Beach, Miami

"No"

"This is a very large luxury hotel that seems ideal for businesspeople & corporate events. There were many such events happening during our 4 night stay. It is not an intimate or boutique experience. The staff are very professional. We stayed in an higher end oceanfront one-bedroom corner suite. Positives included a very large and clean room with floor to ceiling windows, a lovely balcony and magnificent views of the ocean; spacious bathrooms; fast and efficient elevators; a delicious fruit platter laid on for our arrival; delicious gelato at Cafe Ines. Negatives (IMO) included: bland almost minimal decor in the room; a stuffed mini bar which has taken over the mini fridge (which is therefore unusable); cheap and untasty coffee pods with powdered creamer (no room for dairy in the fridge?); way over priced restaurants and cafe/shop (though perhaps typical of tourist venues here rather than being specific to the hotel). The area is a little out of the way from culture, non tourist restaurants or shopping. "

"DO NOT LET THE BELLMAN ARRANGE TRAVEL! He cost us $200 to get from Miami Beach to the Port of Miami. Maybe 5 miles from the hotel. The hotel is old, not updated. the room (penthouse) we stayed in was small but seemed clean. I will say that it did have ice cold A/C, which is a definite plus in that area. There was a breakfast with eggs and bacon that's doled out in a serving line. There's a resort fee even though this was by no means a resort but simple a hotel within a couple of blocks from the beach, which we did walk to and that was nice. Our biggest problems were the old hotel smell, the scary tiny elevator with the out of date license on it, and the bellman that cost us as much money as our stay for one ride maybe five miles to the cruise ship. I hope he enjoyed spending his cut of our ride because that was down right theft. I learned to NEVER accept a ride without getting an agreed rate up front."

"The only downfall with this hotel is a $200 per night security deposit. I feel like that’s a little steep for long stays. I’ve stayed in other Miami hotels none charge $200 per day! The money is refundable but that’s not the point."

"Showed up to the property at 11 am asked if there was a possibility for early check in they said they would put a rush on my room, got to get in my room at 3:55 while people who checked in hours after me got their rooms before me. I know they don’t guarantee early check in I just felt if you said you put a rush on the room I’d be able to get in there atleast alittle early. The AC in my room didn’t work. The room was dirty so also not sure how it took so long if my room was dirty. The dayshift front desk staff was rude."
