We stayed at The Meridian Miami Beach by Kasa for one night before our cruise and again for one night after. Overall, the technology-driven experience was impressive—remote check-in, remote checkout, and electric locks made everything smooth and hassle-free.
The location is absolutely unbeatable. Everything you could possibly need—restaurants, shops, the beach—is basically right at the hotel doorstep. If you’re looking for convenience, this spot is hard to beat.
Our first stay was mostly issue-free, aside from the overwhelming smell of weed everywhere. Not necessarily the hotel’s fault, but if you’re not into that, just know it’s unavoidable.
Our second stay, however, had a pretty big oversight—our room was missing a second shower door. It looks like someone may have broken it before, but instead of putting up even a temporary shower curtain, they just left it wide open, meaning water splashed all over the bathroom floor. This led to the towels getting filthy from being on the floor, making me question how well the floors are actually cleaned.
As for the weed smell, yeah, it’s strong. Everywhere. If you’re down to party or just looking for a free contact high, this place is great. If you prefer a fresh, clean-air experience, this might not be the spot for you.
Overall, The Meridian is a solid choice if you’re in town for fun and want a seamless, tech-savvy stay in a prime location. Just be prepared for some quirks and a whole lot of Miami atmosphere.
