So let me say the hotel was nice, however I will give run down of the negative. You have absolutely NO WAY TO CONTACT THE HOTEL. The number on the website just rings to a voicemail. Secondly, they recommend the Sola restaurant adjacent to the hotel. My husband and I visited the restaurant they charged my husband card for 200 dollars mind you we only got 4 tacos that was 20 dollars so the receipt that my husband signed was for that 20 dollars. When we returned home he had a charge for 200 dollars and we couldn't figure out why. Obviously, the waiter gave himself a $200 tip. I called and spoke with a manger who did not speak english so someone translated for her. And she stated rhat she would take care of it. However, she did not so we are in the process of filing a lawsuit. And just a fyi we are black. Take it how you want to.

Upon entering, the staff were nice and helpful. The elevator to get up to our room was sketchy with an expired/Outdated service check according to the sticker on the wall. Felt like it was going to get stuck every time we used it. Room was clean and quite big. The balcony was also nice and got direct sunlight in the morning hours. The only weird thing about the room was that the sink was on the outside of the bathroom which made getting ready in the morning difficult without disturbing my partner. The only way to get ice or water is from the bar which doesn’t open until 9 or 10 am. Ice buckets in the room but no ice machine and no way to refill a water bottle, so prepare for that. The rooftop pool was nice with its own bar, but then they shut it down for maintenance for two days. Restaurant had good food and the staff and atmosphere there was very nice. Close and walkable to ocean drive and the beach. Collins ave is a hotspot for partying and loud music, etc.

What happened to this hotel? I traveled here several times and was great. This time was terrible. Unkept property with broken beds and doors, safety concerns with anyone getting into the hotel. The homeless and drunk people that are not guests hang on the patio often and have access to elevators. Front desk doesn’t care about nothing and also cockroaches in the rooms coming from all places. Sorry but I’m not coming back. What a shame because is a great location.

I normally don’t write hotel reviews, but I had to for this one because of how great my experience was. This is my second time staying at Fairwind Hotel, and once again it has been amazing.

The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, the location is perfect, and despite being in the heart of all the action, I was still able to get a great night’s sleep without being disturbed by outside noise.

The hotel is within walking distance of countless restaurants, shops, and attractions, and the beach is only about a two-minute walk away. One of my favorite features is the rooftop pool, which is always clean, well-maintained, and a great place to relax.

I highly recommend Fairwind Hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and convenient place to stay in Miami Beach. I will definitely be returning again!

I was very disappointed on my last day . After a long day out on Monday we came back and went to the pool . We had a great time and planned to spend our entire day on Tues relaxing by the pool. Upon our return Monday evening there was a sign stating the pool would be closed due to \"maintenance \" on June 9th & 10th. It was very sudden this notice was posted, no advance notice , nothing . It was very disappointing. We were told the \"sister\" hotel had no pool .The beach was in bad condition, so we couldn't swim .The temperature was close to 90°. This was very unfair . I doubt if we will be returning and we were returning customers . I feel for the price we pay here we can go to a better hotel . This is not good customer service . We couldn't enjoy the last day .

The first room I got was nasty. Bugs and sand on the floor. The manager was nice enough to change my room. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel unless you’re on a tight budget. It’s just not my style. Very outdated, smaller than the pictures show and the food and drinks are priced as if this is a 4 star hotel. The front desk staff was the best experience there.

Clean room, but the curtain only half closed and you directly face others rooms who can look right in. Ot lacks privacy. It missed the normal little things like lotion, qtips, cotton swabs…. Just the little things that make it comfortable and we’ve come to expect from basics in a hotel room.

Pro’s: Location is great; staff was great; Room was spacious and clean; the bed was comfortable; enjoyed the pool.

Cons: Room could use some upgrades and better lighting; couldn’t figure out how to use the safe; couldn’t get the balcony door to lock properly so I felt a little nervous about that; they need to provide some type of umbrellas or cover for the pool chairs to help protect from the sun.

Hotel has great location In of the middle of south beach close to all the restaurants and walking distance from the beach. Some areas are outdated and could use some renovations. Rooms are clean and spacious. The only concern is the safety where everyone can get to the floors with no key required to use the elevator. Especially the back elevator where you don’t need to go through the lobby. I think that should be fixed amid what’s going now days. Also no complimentary water thats a turn off too. Also valet is $40 overnight till 2:30pm. It’s good hotel over all

The check in was good, nice guy, helpful and kind.
The startling construction noise at 7:30 am 2/3 mornings was not good.
The restaurant waitress was horrible! While the construction noise was happening next to our room i wanted to sit in the shade to read. The hostess said i could ( 9am ish) the place was empty. A very rude mean woman came and told me i couldn’t sit there. So rude about it. We were going to eat there but said no way! Took our additional money elsewhere.

Came for a girl’s trip with my bestie and we had such a great time! The hotel is close to everything and minutes from the beach. The staff is very friendly and always willing to help. The hotel restaurant was such a good time as well and the drink options are awesome! Rooftop pool is on the small size and there is no shade but there is another rooftop higher up with lots of shade and tanning beds. If there was one thing they would improve on, I would say it would be nice to be able to rent umbrellas for the beach through the hotel. Overall we had a fantastic trip and can’t wait to come back!

Pros: The best thing about this hotel is the short receptionist lady at the front. She’s sweet, kind, and helpful. The rooms were big and it’s close to the beach and ocean drive.

Cons: The hotel has potential but the walls are super thin, they play the exact same electronic music outside daily, and nobody monitors the pool- people were smoking weed up there.

I had a great stay overall at The fairwind Hotel. The service was excellent, and the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my visit. They really made the experience enjoyable. They have a roof top sun deck and pool. Walking distance to the beach is about 5 mins.

The only negatives were that the beds were a bit uncomfortable, and I would have loved for beach chairs to be included since a resort fee is charged. Other than that, I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely rent here again.

Definitely recommend the garden rooms

The location was perfect. It is connected to a restaurant that offers a discount to hotel guests. I really enjoyed the rooftop lounge area, and the pool was nice. The television remote only worked when it wanted to. Overall, nothing can really beat the location. It is a block up from the beach and a 10-minute walk to Espanola Way. There were restaurants and bars everywhere. It was close to the visitor center if you were interested in tours and such. The staff was helpful. I really only wish there were a small shelf in the shower to put my products on, but that's about it. I wanted time away to relax and the hotel was perfect for that.

The staff was super friendly from the start. I was being able to check in at noon and they even personally walked us to the correct elevator that led to our room. I got the room with the terrace which was super cute, to have your own little terrace to lay out and tan during the day or relax with a drink during sunset. The room had everything needed minus a microwave which I wish it did. Room service is available and the food was really good, dinner time in the courtyard was quite popular especially on the weekends where they had an DJ and entertainment. They also had a pool party on weekends so do expect it to be loud and festive. It’s a block from beaches, restaurants, and the all LGBTQ+ establishments/beach. Definitely my new favorite spot in south beach

Beach access is very close and convenient. It’s a fun place to stay in the heart of all the action without being directly on Ocean Boulevard. Unfortunately the pool closes early at 8pm and wish it would stay open until 10pm at least. The bathroom is also small with a lack of hooks or bars to hang the wet towels. We still love this hotel and have been there twice already.

My original room was infested with small translucent spider-like insects (searched on Google and it may have been either mites or bed bugs yet to feed) My replacement room was clean. The iron didn't work. There's no microwaves on the property nor any ice machines. To obtain ice, you need to go outside to the bar. The guest elevator is separate, WITHOUT ac!! Very slow and small. I thought it was going to break each time using it and the inspection was expired by 2 months. The corridors are only the width of a person and again lacked ac. The sink is exposed within the room,leaving the \"bathroom \" as nothing more than a toilet closet with a shower, again the width of a person. The phone doesn't work to call the front desk. I had to call separately from my cell and hope someone answered, usually 3-4x. The towels were hard, as well as the toilet paper. This hotel reminded me more of a motel than a hotel. Location is pristine though, very walkable! The ac was cold but unable to be controlled. I wouldn't recommend.

This hotel and location is fabulous. And it's the place to be due to the fun restaurant Sola and the live entertainment they have on the weekends. Pool area is a little small but still seems to work for the space well. And you are literally 1 block from the beach. The rooms with balconies add a nice touch. Will definitely come back.
My only issue was how things were spaced out. I was in a very large king room with a balcony, which was wonderful, but there was no actual seats. Just a couch which was fine but faced a wall, not even the TV. When I needed to do a little work, I had to do it on the bed as there was no chair to sit anywhere near a table. Just the 2 small chairs on the balcony. There was plenty of space to add a chair.

We were sold this establishment as \"family-friendly\". It definetly is not. The music coming from the restaurant is extremely loud until 1h30 am during the weekend and around 11h30 pm during week days. My 3 years old couldnt nap and didn't fall asleep before midnight on both nights we were there because of the music level. The pool is uncovered and the water is boiling hot. There are nowhere to get shade on the rooftop. The \"crowd\" is mainly adults that want to party until dawn and suround the pool completely drunk during the weekend. On the other hand, the employees were always welcoming and the premises were mostly clean (other than the pool who was very dirty).
