The location is excellent. They provide a pass for the public parking garage for $21, which is a very good deal. The hotel also provides beach chairs and an umbrella, but you need to carry them to and from the beach yourself.

Staff was wonderful and helpful. Property is clean and well kept.

Only issues we found were:
-Beds/Mattresses need to updated. Extremely hard sleeping surface. Similar to plywood with a comforter.
-Resort fee charged daily - but 0 resort options available. The offer chairs, towels and umbrellas for the beach. THERE ARE LITERALLY 6-8 CHAIRS AVAILABLE FOR THE ENTIRE HOTEL. Several are broken or falling apart. If you are not one of the first 6-8, you don't get a beach chair, but are still charged the fee. Some umbrellas are missing the anchor for the sand
-Elevator was out the entire 4 days we were there

The Marlin is a lovely Art Deco (1939) building with 3 accomodation levels.
Location was terrific - only 1 block from the beach. Room was clean, spacious and quiet.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Please note that there is no pool in this hotel, similar I would imagine to other hotels of this era.
Walking to distance to lots of restaurants and bars.

The location is amazing, right down the street from the beach and not far from the convention center, which is where my event was for the weekend.
For a busy part of Miami Beach, it was pretty quiet, which I appreciate.

The location was also excellent - everything was within walking distance. The beach was very close, and there were many great restaurants and bars nearby as well.

Overall, we are completely satisfied and would definitely stay here again!

We were greeted by a friendly lady upon check-in at The Marlin Hotel, and she really set the standard for the rest of our stay. Thankfully, we weren’t disappointed. Even the small touches stood out — the doors constantly being opened for guests, the warm welcomes every time we returned, and the friendly send-offs whenever we headed out.

The staff genuinely made the experience feel welcoming and personal. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel. The location is phenomenal, right in the heart of everything, without having to pay an excessively high price just for the location alone.

The hotel is in a great location in Miami Beach. One thing that really started off challenging was check in time being 4pm. The expectation would be to be in the room at 4pm. We arrived at 3:30 to get checked in and drop our bags off in the lobby and walk around the beach. They said the room wasn’t ready yet which was totally fine. We were told 4pm and the room would be ready which was the stated check in time on the website. We come back about 10 till sit down at the bar for a quick drink before the room opens only to be told the room isn’t ready at 4pm. We said okay. We would finish up our drinks. That turned into at 4:30 being told it’s going to be at least another half hour they hadn’t even been in our room. After traveling an entire day since 5am to not get into our room until 5:15 was extremely frustrating. We had dinner reservations for 6 so we had to scramble to get to our room and changed before heading out. The lead that could have been done is a comped beverage or something but we got nothing other than waiting an hour and 15 minutes past the stated check in time. Once we got past that the stay was good, beds were very very firm but the extremely delayed check in after travel started off the trip on a rocky footing.

It was very close to the activities that we planned. The staff was very helpful and we loved our room. My only issue was the $100/day for incidentals and we were there for three nights. I wasn’t expecting that. It’s usually $100-150 per stay. I went back to read the fine print but nothing stated that. They mentioned the resort fee and even the rates and fees for pets. But nonetheless we had a great time and I’d stay here again.

Hotel is nicely located, staff is friendly and helpful. We had a room that was pretty dark, but they changed us to a smaller, but lighter one. Taking into account the price, we would have liked the opportunity to have free coffee/tea in the room, or at least at the reception.
Furthermore, the restaurant displayed on the ad (which is really good by the way) doesn't belong to the hotel, so you cant' have breakfast there. There are multiple options around the hotel though.

Pros: Everything was perfect and I am severely picky. The front desk associates were extremely nice. They all deserve a raise!!! and it is just a 4 minute walk to where Versace’s house is located! The cleanliness of the room was perfection. Whoever cleans that place is God-sent because it feels and smells great! Parking is in a garage just at end of block. Felt super safe, and the restaurant is Authentic Italian and the prices were fair. Huge shower!!!! Could fit 3 in there hahaha. Loved the King size bed!

Want to go to the beach? Just 4 minute walk! Want lounge chairs? They provide them for you!

Cons: No pool. No hot tub. No work out room. No entertainment.

Final thoughts: I’m 39, and I would stay here every time. I love pools and hot tubs, but cleanliness is what I desire and it’s quiet… slept great every night.

I can’t wait to go back! Love you guys at the front desk! 10/10!

Walking in thru the restaurant was odd when it was busy.
Having to pay the \"amenities fee\" per day instead of per night was annoying since we couldn't check in until an hour before sunset on the 1st day, and because we had to check out by noon on the last day. We did not use beach chairs either of those days, but still we're charged for them.

Otherwise, it was a clean & pleasant place with interesting history just 2 blocks off the beach.
