The hotel does not seem to enforce any noise control for guests. On two consecutive nights, people in nearby rooms were playing loud jazz and music that could easily be heard from the hallways. The noise continued until around 3–4 AM and was loud enough to wake us up in the middle of the night, yet the staff did nothing to address it. Additionally, unlike other hotels in the same area, this property does not provide direct access to the beach.

The room, amazingly, contained no desk and no chair. And very little clothes storage space (2 small drawers in the bedside tables). Apparently this hotel which has about 80 rooms ONLY has 10-12 with desks. Perhaps they cater only to travellers who are really on total vacation?
To be fair, they did understand my issue and refunded me the 2 nights that I had pre-paid but decided not to use due to the lack of workspace.

I had the best stay at the Gale South Beach Miami. The rooms were clean, and the staff was attentive. The only things I would say are that there weren't enough towels and the shower head broke, but both were handled with a simple phone call. The location was perfect! In the middle of all the attractions, I would definitely stay here again

room was not ready until after 5pm, the description of this hotel is misleading. It is not beachfront, you have access to the neighboring hotel across the street The Sagmore. It is extremely loud at night because it is next to a place that places music all night. Would not stay again.

Although this hotel was clean , overall it was rundown and in poor condition. We stayed in the King Grand Terrace room, the hotels signature rooms. There were cracks in the sink, furniture was chipped and shabby, the outside furniture stained and balcony door didn't lock. The room phone didn't work and despite reporting this twice still had to go down to reception when I needed the car or other amenities. There were paper cups for the coffee machine, very little storage space and the air conditioner dripped.
We were also unaware before arrival that there were ongoing renovations taking place and the restaurant was closed , with the outside more like a building site.The hotel sign also did not light or work giving the appearance of an empty building. Overall very disappointing for a Hilton hotel.

My son was riding one of there bikes and it was taken from him by a homeless man. After I spoke with SJ the manager I was made to pay $1,000 for the bike. They wouldn't let me leave the hotel to make a police report was told that if i do a police report it makes it hard for there guest to ride there bikes because they dont have no way of knowing what bikes are stolen and that its Miami it happens all the time. Was also told that I had to pay $1,000 for the bike because they can't just buy 1 bike you have to cover the cost for the full order from where they order the bikes from which gives them 2 bikes. They also gave my family who was not staying at the hotel a key to my room without verification or my permission sooooooo unsafe. They dont have ice machines and the water they give you is always hot. Night time crew is rude. After sitting outside at the tables all day when the night shift came in they told us we had to move and couldn't sit there. Yeah worst vacation ever there and this was not my first time to Miami so no I didn't understand when she said this Miami it happens all the time.

The price paid was not commensurate with what we received. The website indicated that breakfast was included, but upon arrival, we were told otherwise (no breakfast). We opted to have breakfast the next day, and the bill was exorbitant for a breakfast that was bland and cold. In short, if I had to go back, I wouldn't choose it.

Doorbell and lazy personnel working 5:00 am 05/13

Due to flight delays, we arrived at 5:00 am on 05/13. We notified the hotel twice in advance of when we were arriving. 05/12 was paid for so we could get in our room upon arrival. We ran the door bell several times and waited for 5+ minutes outside only to gain access because others were leaving. Then, when inside, the man on duty stayed seated, told us we couldn’t check in till the afternoon. Had to persuade him to look in the computer to confirm our reservation and check us in. Simply put, he was very lazy and unfriendly. If you have a doorbell and someone rings it, why is it not priority to answer. Why would he just sit there and not answer the door? There were homeless people relieving themselves while we waited. Two women, outside alone has the potential to be dangerous. Please speak with him and confirm expectations to answer the door. Especially when clients notify personnel twice at what time they are arriving and the room is already paid for in advance. Appreciate your time!

The staff was great with the conditions that were going on. The first day the air conditioner went out from 2:00 till around 8:pm. The second day the air conditioning and the power was out from sometime after 10 PM till 10 AM when we checked out. No elevator, no lights in the bathroom. They really do need to have some sort of back up at least for the lights and possibly electric fans in the rooms if that continues to happen.

Terrible stay

Extremely disappointed with the entirety of the stay. We arrived and the front desk weren’t welcoming and barely acknowledged us while checking us in. Thrust a card machine in front of us without explaining why (security deposit it turns out) and then were generally exceptionally slow, uninterested and in my opinion that’s rude.

The rooftop pool, which was one of the reasons we booked, was closed and we weren’t told in advance or on arrival, much to my dismay when I went up to enjoy it. The gym has a MAX capacity of 2 people(!) and the peloton bike which was a big advertising point in photos didn’t work.

We were woken up on both mornings at 6am by alarms in rooms that weren’t occupied, while you could hear the ice machine and doors slamming on all floors. All in all and given the cost, this is probably the worst hotel I’ve stayed in for a long time

If you are looking to party till 4am then this is place for you. Loud techno music coming from their \"lounge\" till 4 am. Despite my complaint.. TV basic channels are not showing . The \"engineer\" came twice and couldn't solve the issue.
* Breakfast: poor choices. Never buy breakfast there, its a kid format breakfast, no cheese, can't make \"boiled\" eggs so your only choice is fried or poached. No milk with the coffee, I had to supply them for the orange juice. Some of the staff are friendly though. Towels smelled grilled meat one day.

Not family friendly.

The hotel room is not family friendly at all. You walk into the room and there is a glass shower right in front of you. There is no privacy what so ever in the room. If you are with family it’s not good. If you’re travelling as a couple I see the open bathroom concept but with families it’s a no no. Also front desk could use some training on how to greet a guest upon arrival and overall communication with guest. Found front desk staff not to be friendly.

I Tried to change rooms they were booked so the next day I changed to room to 314 which was on a Sunday ! Noise level was good but I think night club was closed!! But toilet didn’t flush had maintenance come up to fix flushed but didn’t set float correctly so ended up fixing myself!! Nice property but you either want to be a hotel and take care of your customers or tear it down and make it a night club !!!

I booked a signature room with 1 queen bed for two nights. I paid over $700 for that. However the first night we were assigned to a small room by the elevator. I couldn’t get sleep because of the noise from the AC outside my room. The room is totally different from what the picture showed on their website. No desk, no chair….The 2nd night we were moved to an even smaller room with a full bed. I was told this is the only quiet room available. This is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed. Be aware, Not worth the money!

Great location but the noise from the nightclub permeated upwards until 3am resulting in the worst night sleep I have had in a long time.

Comfortable but noisy

I was in 311. The room had a window that had something in front of it so there is no outside light that will come in thru the small window so the room stayed dark.

The room was comfortable. Despite the fact that it's on the 3rd floor, you can hear the music coming up from the basement level (it sounded like the music could have been coming from above even though it wasn't). If you are an early sleeper, this room isn't for you. The music would go on until about 3-4AM.

This hotel is also confusing because on the Collins Ave side, it's called The Gale and you have to walk through the restaurant to get to the check in desk. On the other end (James?) its called The Regent. Both entrances require you to walk up 3-4 steps to get to the check in area so you will need help if you have a lot or heavy luggage.

This hotel gives you 2 free bottled waters a day in the room.

Other than that room was clean, bad was comfortable and roof top pool was amazing. They do charge parking fee $45 a day and resort fee $40 a day on top of what you pay for room, but we were aware of it when we booked it so that wasn't an issue. Overall very good hotel.

This would have been 5 stars were it not for one major element, being the check in experience (and resulting room location). Upon check in, I specifically asked the concierge if my room was near an elevator because I am a very light sleeper. She said no, but then that evening, my 2nd Floor room echoed with every single solitary note of the loud dance music playing downstairs (not sure if restaurant or club), and it was also a room facing Collins which obviously added to the noise. It would have been a reasonable deduction for her to make that if I was worried about elevator noise, then certainly the music would be an issue and could have placed me even just one floor higher and/or not facing the main drag. Also, I had to ask about beach access and the beach club partnership as opposed to that major amenity being proactively explained to me up front.

Otherwise the rooftop pool was a fabulous place to relax and liked the ability to order food/drink from downstairs, and the room while very small was modern and clean. However the attention to guest room preferences and amenity explanation was lacking.
