Pros
1. The location is the best thing about this property.
2. Room was spacious but nothing fancy.
3. Support staff was very polite and helpful.

Cons
1. The elevator for our building was not working properly. We had to call some one to operate the elevator when we wanted to go to our room. And it only went up. To come down we had to use the stairs in the side alley which was filthy. This was highly inconvenient.
2. I asked 15 extra mins at checkout time of 11:00 AM which they denied very rudely.
3. The front desk staff , specially the night manager was very rude.
4. The hand held shower was leaking.

Overall I wish I could ask for refund for all the inconveniences.

No Transportation. Had to have Hotel Key Reconfigured each time I wanted in my room. I had extended my reservation due to Airport Inconveniences. And the Hotel Staff sold my Hotel room out from under me. Didn’t refund me either. I have a picture of the confirmation too. Stole all my property too. Along with The Supra too. But the Good Lord, will take care of them too!

Great Staff, Great View, Food is Great here. Servers are very nice and accommodating. Sometimes patience is needed because there’s others here too. There’s a few Hotties here too!

All kidding to the side. This is a very nice place. Very Clean. Elevators work nicely too. Beach is very clean. This is a Family Oriemted Place. I have only one concern, as I’ve had everywhere else. And that’s the door security. Between rooms on joining rooms. And the Latch at Main Door. It’s easily bypassed too.

firstly there was no phone in our room which will explain a lot
we wanted to stay on the 5th floor but the elevator only went one way-not both up and down
in the reception elevator it said their certificate had expired
the room keys-mostly never worked so each time this happened we had to go down to the reception to get a new key
the tv rarely worked-3x they came up to fix it and each time we had to go down to the reception
the receptionist told me if we ate breakfest at their restaurant we would get a 15% discount--the server wouldnt honor this
the toilet ran continually-it was never fixed and each time we had to go to the reception
their add said there was a gym-the gym was 5 blocks away-not convenient
the safe didnt work-not convenient
add all this up for $2K+for 3 nites-pathetic
can expedia remburse us at all for something to justify this terrible experience?

Avoid at all costs – filthy, unsafe, and dishonest

This was by far the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. The room was disgusting—dirty, poorly maintained, with mold in multiple areas, stained sheets, and bed bugs. Loud music blared all night, making it impossible to sleep. We were so disturbed by the conditions that we had no choice but to check out early.

We were promised a refund for the remaining nights but have yet to receive it. To make matters worse, when I asked for a manager, Dafne at the front desk flat-out refused to provide contact information and claimed no manager was available. I have photos to prove everything and am shocked that this place is still operating. Absolutely unacceptable.

On May 8, 2025, I made a reservation to stay one night in your hotel via Expedia. I requested a room with ocean view and a balcony. Mightily costly if I may add.

Unfortunately, the room with the ocean view was more like a room with a view to a roof. The room was on the fourth floor and the ocean view was totally obstructed by the roof in front of us.

The only way to see a bit the ocean was by standing in the left corner of the balcony. If we sat down all we could see was the roof.

The balcony was shared and with no privacy. Wish I had been advised of this when I made the reservation.

I wonder how is it that your hotel has over 1000 reviews while another hotel very close to you only has 200.?

The condition of the furniture in the room was not the best, with visible damage to the furniture due to humidity.

In conclusion, the valet parking offered by your hotel was imaginary. I ended up hustling looking for parking.

Finally and to be fair, the piña coladas were great.

Hotel Ocean is in a great location. Directly across the street from the beach, it’s perfect. They offer beach chairs and towels, which is helpful and courteous. They provide daily bottled water as well. The room is spacious with a decent sized shower and bathtub. We had some issues with the AC snd they provided us with a portable AC, which was helpful. The hotel could use some slight updates here and there, but it’s kept clean and comfortable. The restaurant was decent, but a little pricey. You can get a discount as a hotel guest. All and All we enjoyed our stay at Hotel Ocean.

I realized I way overpaid for my stay. It came out to around $300 per night. I was expecting a luxury hotel accommodations for that money, but it was less than your average 3 star hotel. The good: room was clean and no smell. The reception was friendly and polite. Walking distance to dining, shopping, beach, pharmacy. Night entertainment. The disappointing: room was almost bare, the tiny work table didn't even had a lamp, and barely any room for laptop. No coffee maker, nothing to boil hot water with. One of the two faucets didn't eork so well. The worst for me was the heavy too warm blanket that make me wake up numerous times at night covered in sweat, no matter how low the AC. I figured to raise the AC to 72 and sleep uncorered. During my 1 week stay in Miami, i stayed in 3 hotels due to family reunion, and none if the other cheaper hotels were so disappointing. I would've complain if the hotel wasn't so expensive. Also, they need to offer better coffee/hot water options. The area is very busy and crowded, can be lots of fun if thats what you're looking for. I prefer a less congested and more private location.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The room was lovely and we were so glad we'd booked the balcony with the ocean view as it was spectacular. They do have a late 4pm check in, which is later than most, but they stored our luggage. The location is really good, and it was quiet in our room despite being in a lively area. We ate at the restaurant onsite which was very nice, with a great vibe. We did have an issue with the prices though so beware. We were given a discount for being hotel guests, and paid a discounted price, but when it settled on our card every time the price reverted to the higher one, so very unhappy about that. Maybe use cash for dining.

We were here for just one night. It was a hopping place to be. Island vibe music started about 8:30 am (could hear in the room from outside). Party/dance vibe music at night. If you are looking for quiet, this is not the place. If you are looking for activity, lots of people watching, walkable access to the beach, and lots of food choices within walking distance this is your spot.

The hotel provided towels and beach chairs and bottled water when we were ready to head to the beach.

Bed was comfortable. Room was very clean. We were in the handicap accessible room, so the bathroom did not have a door (wide entry) and the shower was sort of \"in the corner\" but not totally closed off. It was fine for us. If you prefer total privacy when you are in the bathroom, you would not want this type of room.

I would stay here again if we were in the area.

No pool. But the beach was across the street and a short walk.

Not very satisfied with stay

We had a family emergency and tried numerous times to call the hotel and sent a fax. We received no response from the hotel. When we finally made it to the hotel we found out the hotel was under construction and all of the phones were down in the hotel. This also meant if there was an issue in the room you could not call for assistance . Our tv did not work properly. The tissues in the bathroom were wet. Once we went downstairs the staff rectified what they could. The staff were a pleasure to deal with, but it was a very awkward stay. We paid alot of money for a hotel under construction and having this many issues

It was crazy when we arrived at the motel. There was no parking at the motel for starters. The hotel sits very close to other hotels and restaurants around it. There was people walking and sitting everywhere along the front of the hotel and lots of
cars. A lot of confusion. My friend dropped me off to go and check in. I had to walk past people eating to find the door that went into the front desk to check in. They told me we had to park in the garage around the block. So after circling the block a couple times we were able to get into the parking garage. Then we had to drag our luggage from the parking garage across the street, along the side walk, around to the front of the motel, through tons of people eating and milling around, up some steps to get back to the front office. It was not fun. Then they told us our room was not ready yet and it was four o’clock by then and that was check in time. So we had to sit and wait to get into our room. Our room turned out to be set up for someone with a handicap. I went back down to the front desk to see if we could up grade to another room and they said the hotel was booked so they had no other room available. Our room was also located right next to loud music and people who were talking and laughing into the night. For an older couple this was not what we wanted. I would never want to stay in this hotel again.
