The Hotel of South Beach

Perfect location, great and helpfull staff.

The Hotel er et nydelig og hyggelig hotel midt på South beach. Dessverre er ikke alt like bra. Vi hadde bestilt en juniorsuite og så fram til et rom med en viss kvalitet. Det viste seg å være i bygget ved siden av hotellet, og hadde en nedslitt restaurant med dårlig lukt som resepsjonsområde og rommet var virkelig ikke hyggelig. Vi klagde, og fikk ikke tilbud om noe bedre, men måtte betale for en oppgradering. Dårlig når det ikke er opplyst om at du kan havne på vesentlig dårligere standard enn forventet. Bortsett fra det og et par uvennlige resepsjonister er hotellet alt su ønsker deg av et bra hotel på south beach.

Fint hotell med hyggelig betjening og en fantastisk takterasse med basseng. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake.

Very art deco hotel and ok location. However, the walls are so thin that you can hear EVERYTING that's going on in the next room.... Toilet not function properly and we had a complete overflow early in the morning. When reporting the incident we were asked if we have thrown toilet papier in the toilet and as it was no "warning" to do otherwise we have used the toilet as "normal".

Although we had to pay an extra $18 each day for a parking place for the car and full price for breakfast it was an enjoyable place to stay. Great location and fantastic old-time hotel feel. Breakfast should be discounted for guests though. Very helpful staff and concierge. Good drinks and small portions of food at the hotel. We didn't use the rooftop pool, but it was inviting. Free use of a towel and sunbathing chair at the beach is nice, a $20 savings for two. A parasol is another $20. Extremely short distance to many restaurants, shops and beach. I had the best deep fried, battered shrimp I've ever had at one of the nearest restaurants and I've eaten a lot of fried shrimp. Miami traffic is crazy at best, but Miami Beach is much better based on my limited experience in the area. Upon arrival I said I wouldn't go back because of Miami traffic, but after staying at The Hotel and being at the beach I would go back.
