This hotel ended up being just suitable for my needs. I appreciated the proximity to the beach as well as many restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores nearby. My room was tolerably clean. It smelled really strongly of mildew when I first arrived, but it seemed to get better during my stay (or I got used to it?) There's a lovely garden behind the hotel which doubles as a bar in the evenings. There is a pool, but I chose not to swim in it as it was pretty dirty. Also, as some other reviewers have said, there is no sound proofing in the rooms. If someone is in the hallway, it honestly sounds like they are in your room. The windows are also not soundproofed and I could hear every truck driving by. I feel lucky that there seemed to be only one neighboring room that was occupied. If you are at all sensitive to noise, then this is definitely not the hotel for you. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and was able to relax in my room, but I probably would not stay here again.

This hotel kind of has a party vibe. There’s a social lounge area by the pool that seems pretty lively at night. There’s private room I stayed in was large and unique, but dated. The bathroom wasn’t great. The location is awesome, very close to the beach and lots of dining options. All Hotels in Miami are very expensive, and this was one of the more affordable options that had decent reviews. I was only there for a night and it suited my needs.

We really loved the vibe at Freehand. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, and we appreciated the use of their chairs, blankets, and umbrella to take to the beach. The overall feel of the place was excellent, and we enjoyed its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. We would definitely stay here again if our travels ever took us back to Miami Beach.

Our room was never completely cleaned in the three days we started. They knew the power would be out on arrival day for hours but had a racist security guard only approach the 2 Caucasian people on the pool he told us the pool is closed at 7pm. Bur didn’t tell the Latina couple less than 3 feet from me the same info. The security guard lied the pool wasn’t closed. Another lady went to the front desk to ask whatsup she told them the same thing I did. And the said the pools not closed that people needed to be out of the water for 30 min due the the work on the power. Even thought they had been working on it for over an hour! Not cool to single people out due to how they look and then lie about when the pool closes! The powers out we had nothing else to do Jo where else to go! And it was my Birthday trip not cool. The lady who cleaned rooms opened the door on us before 10am! Day one then never came back to clean the bed at all and the wooden floor was sticky and stains on the bed and the pillow ups on arrival. The pool and bearded man at the bar was great. But everyone else on who entering with anyone wasn’t pleasant or ignored the guests. Shame a good location and place. They can and should do better and comp people some after a bad experience and the power being out for more than 3 hours on a hot day. Can’t shower stay cool or anything either no power. The pool sign says dusk to dawn for the pool. Expedia didn’t say we pay 119 for resort free when it’s not a resort!

I liked the property just wish they had a mini fridge in the room and for curtains to close for more privacy in the shared rooms. Other than that the staff was nice and the place was clean, smells really good inside. Close to beach and a couple local restaurants and Market( which was great). I would stay again but in a private room.

Petit paradis caché. Endroit très cool! Piscine agréable et cour arrière charmante.

Bémol: l’attitude de certains membres au front desk. J’ai vérifié la veille de mon départ si je pouvais avoir un late check-out car mon vol était à 19:45; on me dit midi au lieu de 11:00 sans frais et 18$ pour 15:00. J’accepte midi et quand je me présente à midi on me fait presque un reproche… j’ai 56 ans, je suis Docteure, je n’aime pas les réprimandes !!

Autre aspect négatif: aucuns séchoirs à cheveux ni prises électriques dans les salles de bains dortoirs.

Sinon très bien dans l’ensemble.

The hotel took my money and was left out and had to go and find accommodation. Their description and policy were not explained and they acted like I worked at the hotel. Sleeping out for a night with my dog and as a físicaly challenged. The humiliation was too much and the worst they kept my money.. absolutely disgusting behavior. They don’t care. What a dump.

I absolutely love this place. It’s a little smaller than I thought for like the bedroom. I was in a four bedroom share and the curtains don’t close much so you can kind of see people sleep but nonetheless, I don’t care I was with girls and the room was kept clean and the hotel pool was great great tan. They had a restaurant open at five with the bar that was had good choices and the manager was nice and it’s very accessible to a couple coffee shops and the beach around.

The rooms were quite dirty, and no one cleans behind the mattresses — there was a lot of dust. Daily housekeeping was very superficial, and the cleaners only spoke Spanish, which made communication difficult.

The rooms were cold because of the air conditioning, and no extra blankets were provided. The hotel is very noisy, and the reception was not helpful when there were disruptive neighbors coming back at 3 a.m., turning on lights and making noise. I didn’t sleep the entire night, and they refused to offer even a few extra hours in the morning to rest, saying it wasn’t their problem.

The area is beautiful, but overall it’s not comfortable for a relaxing stay. Everything is also quite far from this location.
