The overall stay was fine, but considering the $700 a night, could have been a little better
The good:
1. The room a good size and the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable allowing us one of the most restful resort stays, significantly better than others.
2. The shower included a separate shower wand, very appreciated and rare to find.
3 The pools and surrounding outdoor areas were clean and well equipped and and outdoor staff was attentive and pleasant.
4. The AC in the room worked great.
5. Great location very walkable to numerous restaurants, shops, beach, etc.
6. Very nostalgic decorating reminiscent of 50-60s Hollywood, unique.

The not so good:
1. The heater in our room didn't work at all. One night came in and 65 degrees wanted it a little warmer, switched it to heat, but the vents continued to blow cold air. So had to turn off AC and extra blanket.
2 the bathroom a little cramped and worn. but expected for an older hotel. However, the lack of an exhaust fan unacceptable.
3. Water pressure was very poor especially when using that lovely shower wand.
4. Blow dryer stopped working the first day. Told the front desk late that morning around 11, along with a towel requests since no house keeping yet. Came back from pool later that day and still no blow dryer, towels or house keeping. Had to call again, and about an hour after that finally recieved both.
Summary: would consider staying again, but at a better price point.

Our first time here and our stay was good. Valet parking only. Valet staff were okay. Arrival was great, departure not so much. Ordered the car from the text message, as requested, and it took forever for them to bring the car around. The front desk staff were fantastic. Very friendly and accommodating. Beach attendants were good. They setup the chairs and umbrellas for six of us, and checked on us throughout our time on the beach. The outside bar by the pool served great drinks and food. Service was a little slow, but they were busy. Elevators are very small. They could barely fit 4 people with luggage. Our room was very clean. A little small, but we had a great view of the pool and the beach. Bathroom was very small. We ate dinner and breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Food was delicious. Dinner was mostly Tapas…so good. Breakfast was good as well. Service was a little slow. If you are in a hurry keep that on mind. Bartender at the inside bar was just okay. Cocktail waitress was great. We stopped by before dinner, and then again for a nightcap, after strolling around and checking out other places along Collins Ave. Overall, we had a good experience, and would likely stay here again if we ever get to South Beach in the future.

Stayed in Penthouse. Elevator got stuck with us in it. Door would not open. Also every time the elevator moved or was used it would make a horribly loud sound and shake our entire penthouse. We had to buy a box floor fan to try and mask the extremely loud elevator sound. The elevator sound was so loud that we had to sleep on the couch downstairs in the penthouse. Will not stay again if not fixed. Also, the water pressure was very very low and made it hard to shower. Other than that the Hotel was perfect. If the elevator gets resolved we will gladly recommend and stay again.

2nd time we have visited The National. Even encouraged friends to come with us this time due to our previous experience. Hotel is nice, clean, up to date, and great access to the beach and usually a great outdoor bar and pool. However, what the hotel failed to mention was that (our favorite amenity) the outdoor bar and sitting area would be shut down both days at 3pm for a private party, and the indoor bar will not open until 5pm. Leaving many guests who expected to use the National facilities for the day to leave property to eat or drink. Which could be ok, but we were never notified of these items when making reservations, during email communication or leading up to our visit. Just the morning of, feel as though better communication should be expected as we could have then made an educated choice about where to stay. Morning of check out, hotel asked about our stay. I told them all was great, except disappointed with issues above. They provided small credit toward the resort fee. However, would have rather had proper communication prior to our stay so we would have known what we could expect, than a small credit at check out.

I’m not one to ever leave reviews but was so disappointed, made sure to review this place.
Paid extra for an “ocean view” room - well, you could technically see the ocean… but it was super far away and mostly blocked by another part of the hotel - total ripoff. Hotel is old and outdated, the room was tiny and not very clean. Asked valet to have the car ready at a specific time because we had dinner reservations. It wasn’t ready and we waited so long for the car that we almost missed our reservation at a fully booked restaurant. Called the front desk the night before to ask for a late checkout- as we had checked in super late and got back super late, and wanted to get a good nights rest without being rushed to leave in the morning. They said I’d have to call back at 8 am the next morning to ask for a late checkout…. What? On vacation and wanting to get plenty of sleep- but I’ll have to wake up early to request a late checkout?! What a joke. When I did wake up and called the front desk for a late checkout - they had no more available, so had to extremely rush to pack and get out. Would never stay here again. A massive waste of money. Extremely overpriced for the quality of amenities and service.

Charge as a 4-5 star hotel but deliver as a 3star hotel on some ”easy to fix” parameters. One size pillow only, to few towels to provide all guests around the pool and at beach, not enough sun beds and you will have to wait for a phonecall to fit in. Some staff also not very friendly..as positive very clean, nice long swimmingpool to swim in and great location close to ocean and lots of restaurants

I was in Miami for music week and stayed at the National for four nights. This is a crazy time of year and staff can be understandably overwhelmed, but every single staff member at the National was so accommodating, from the housekeeping to the bartenders to the management. This isn’t the first time I’ve stayed at the National, but it just keeps getting better. I love it there and I can’t wait to go back. Extra special shout-out to Margherita (bartender), Alejandro (assistant) and Yaser, one of the most proper GM’s I’ve ever met. He definitely goes above and beyond. 10/10!!

Food excellent & plenty to chose from. Infinity pool was just perfect & plenty of seating around the pool .... providing you got there earlier enough !

Shame that the bar/Infinity pool area does get rented out privately, so we couldn't use it for an afternoon, although the beach is available, sometimes you just want to relax around the pool.

The other pool was cold and seating in the shade, so made it chilly!

We arrived for our 4th stay
We informed before arrival of the pools would not be available due to the Miami music festival.
The first issue is that the Miami music festival is a front for spring break.
The music blasted for 12 hours a day starting just after 11am.
In our room the noise was so loud you could not ever sleep in the music hours
After the first night I went to reception to see could be done, basically they only could offer ear plugs, so management knew of the issue.
We could not move any other hotels as all was full.
They did try to charge a resort fee although the pool was unavailable and the only access to beach was out the front of the hotel then walk to the next corner down a construction zone and then back to the beach behind the hotel, totally unacceptable
The hotel was full of drunken or drug affected patrons in foyer going to and from the pool party event
On returning from dinner two nights had to get security to clear a way into the hotel.
On Checkout I tried for the second time to discuss my issues with the General manger and after waiting 49 minutes the front office manager appeared to say all hotels have the same sound issues, really our bad luck.
After 3 nights of little sleep and living with a continuous spring break party, I expect a 100% refund as this was a total disaster

We love the long pool at this hotel. But months after we made our reservation and shortly before our trip we got a message saying that they were using the pool for a music festival for two days of our stay and it would not be open to guests. And then they had the effrontery to charge us the resort fee for those days. Really disappointing treatment with no thought to accommodate the guests and I doubt we will stay there again.

At this time of year it’s forgotten that it’s meant to be a hotel and has overwhelmingly prioritised being a bad night club. Dreadful pounding techno such that the windows in our room vibrated till 11pm. To add insult to injury we’d paid extra for an ocean view room. Staff were indifferent. No late check out as a blanket policy. I think we were an inconvenience

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was great, and the location was excellent.
The main issue was the bathroom as the light and fan are on the same switch, and the fan is quite loud. Also, there’s very limited space and no storage. The walls in the room are very thin, and we could clearly hear normal conversations from neighboring rooms, so it’s something to keep in mind.

During the stay, city of Miami experienced record cold temperatures. While the hotel cannot control such occurrences, it could certainly benefit from having a functional HVAC system that provides heat to each room.
