There is no parking associated with the hotel. And no one at the hotel or associated with parking for the city of Miami could help direct us where we could park overnight. The situation was not ideal for handicap people staying there.

The location was excellent, situated directly across from the beach and within easy walking distance. The amenities were a highlight, including the beach chairs, bikes, towels, and bar area, all of which added to the overall experience.
Unfortunately, the room itself was disappointing. The mattresses were extremely uncomfortable and sagged in the middle, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Additionally, the microwave in the room was not working during our stay.
Overall, the property’s location and amenities were great, but the condition of the room and bedding significantly impacted our comfort.

Tuve una excelente experiencia en el Beacon Hotel South Beach. La ubicación es perfecta, muy cerca de la playa y de los principales lugares de interés de South Beach. El personal fue amable y atento durante toda mi estadía, siempre dispuesto a ayudar con cualquier necesidad. La habitación estaba limpia, cómoda y bien equipada. El ambiente del hotel es agradable y acogedor. Sin duda recomendaría este hotel a quienes visiten Miami y espero volver en el futuro. Muchas gracias por la hospitalidad.

I had high hopes for this hotel. It was horrific. I understand it’s on the beach and there is noise, but the walls are so thin and everyone is screaming at 1am. The hotel staff does nothing and they are the worst part. They do nothing. They sit there and act like they will help and then just go back on their phone. I will say the cleaning staff is top tier and they do extremely well cleaning rooms. I will never stay here again and will tell those that ask me to not as well.

We stayed here the week of May 17 and I was very disappointed… it’s right on the south beach tourist strip, which was convenient. The ocean was right across from the hotel, which was great, but the ocean and sand was terrible in this location. Seaweed and moss everywhere on the beach in the water was not a clean beach or nice water for photos or to go in.. the hotel staff was cocky and arrogant. The female that checked us in was not accommodating with our luggage as check-in would not be till 4 PM and we arrived at 1 PM. She made me carry my own luggage to the storage room and said I’m not the person who does that. I’m just the person at the front desk and walked me to the storage room although she could have helped.. She had an attitude as well. The photos on Expedia make it look super upper class and elegant and it’s cheap wooded furniture that has been refurnished. The one chair had slashes and rips in it. Everything is done very cheaply to make it look nicer than it actually is. Some of the fans and lighting didn’t work. The water took 5 to 10 minutes to get warm.. It was not good at all. The food from there was not the best either the bartenders were OK although slightly on the arrogant side. We ate at the Avalon, which was right next-door. They had amazing food, a beautiful, elegant, classy outdoor space. I would recommend them over this place in a heartbeat..

I booked this trip spontaneously and after read reviews and I was nervous. Due to its location and age, the hotel was nice. My room was clean and though some items can use a refresh (such as the glass night stand) overall it was a good stay. Elevator was operational the entire time. Chairs and towels provides for the beach are a great touch. It was pretty quiet especially for its location. Staff was helpful and available as needed.

We returned to the Beacon Hotel after 12 years and, unfortunately, were very disappointed with the condition of the property. The rugs in the hallways leading to our room were noticeably dirty, and our room door had holes near the lock that went completely through from one side to the other, which was concerning. The air conditioning unit was also extremely loud, making it difficult to hear the television and relax comfortably.

On a positive note, the staff were very pleasant, friendly, and accommodating throughout our stay. Their excellent customer service was appreciated and helped make the experience more enjoyable.

The Beacon has great potential, but it would greatly benefit from updating the carpets and replacing or repairing the doors. We hope to see improvements in the future, as we have fond memories of our previous visit.

The location was Excellent, 15% off their restaurant for any meals. Staff was very helpful when it came to accommodating a rear situation, my partner’s wallet went missing they were able to print out Identification for use. Grateful for that!! However I would not rebook; firstly the key to our rooms were not activated properly causing us to come back to the front desk with our belongings to activate the key correctly. The room cleanliness was terrible, all we smelled was a dirty mop of bleach or a dirty cleaning cloths As if it was used from previous room cleaning without washing to properly sanitize. The hallway smelled just like musk, wet carpets where I slipped as I was walking to my room, while wearing sneakers!! 😥I hurt my bottom on the tiles where the carpet ended. This needs to be better Not safe & there were not wet floor signs.

The hotel was very nice. Tho the rooms were outdated they were clean and well maintained. Room service was trustworthy. They do not offer on site parking so valet was very good. It was 50$ per day and 24 hour service huge plus! The coffee the offer in the lobby was never equipped with coffee supplies for use but I just asked and they quickly got it. Over all I would definitely recommend this hotel! I went with my son and one of the latch locks were broken when we realized they quickly moved into another room.

There was not much to like. The rooms are tiny and run down. Mold and rusty. My door had to be slammed shut and hard time to open every time I had to open the room. No ice machine. There are no amenities at this hotel. They have beach chairs but gave me one that was rusty and had to ask to exchange. This hotel needs a whole renovation. Staff doesn’t sweep or pick up garbage from the floor when they service your room. They just do the beds and change the towels.

This hotel was a last minute booking, the room was very small, tub very narrow, and there was no place to really store your things. No counter space or dressers to place things in or on. No room to hang clothes either, there was 3 hangers in the closet, which was occupied by the fridge and safe! Plus side, it’s across the street from the beach 👍…. AC was great! They have Netflix on the remote but there was no access to it! This place gets 3 stars from me!

Hotel was super convenient with our work location directly on South Beach. It rained alot during our work stay, so we were able to run to our room easily. Convenient with a restaurant on the premises with good pasta, and a CVS directly next door. Room was small, but most of the hotels on South Beach were built small back in the day and were basically there for your sleep. For myself, location was everything.

The bed was bent with a downslope in the center.
My body rested laid down during all night in a \"v\" shape causing lower back pain.
The pillows were terrible as well.
The restroom door is a glass door that gives you little privacy in case you have another person with you.
That made me to checkout one day before my 5 days stay and go to another place.
The surroundings are full of people high on something.

The price was attractive, but if you care about quality, go for another place.

The beach view is obstructed. We had requested an ocean view room and when we checked in we were told no rooms had an ocean view. Our fob reader was falling off the door and worked about 1 out of 3 times when we were trying to get into the door. The products in the shower were empty. When we asked for beach towels at the desk, which is listed as an amenity, we were told to take towel from our room. Our bathroom ceiling had clearly had a leak that was never repaired and the ceiling around the lights was brown and crumbly and there were holes where chunks of ceiling were gone. The gym was a room the size of a closet with broken treadmill and some weights. Kids walk in off the street and were making a mess while we were in there and it forced us out. The elevator was also deemed unsafe by the FD and there was all the citations and papers on the desk yet no one took it out of service. Nightmare.

The room was pretty awful - hotel is in a great location which is the saving grace for this place. If you don’t want to spend ANY time in the room, just crashing at the end of a long day…then maybe this place could work. Otherwise try somewhere else. Just a few items which were awful about the room - peeling paint everywhere, spray painted tile in the bath surround, nasty looking tiled floor with very black and dirty looking grout, tacky fridge placed in the corner of the room, no coffee, rotten woodwork…basically the place needs a complete remodel. The courtyard directly outside of the room was much more pleasant than the room itself. We would not stay again.
