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 had a suite with a tub and it was very large but the bath tub was dirty. Overall the room was nice but the tub being dirty threw us off a bit. Pool was very small but was a rooftop which was nice. Good for the price and great location but nothing spectacular.

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).

The staff were very kind and helpful. The room was spacious and clean. The views from the rooftop pool and Terrance were gorgeous. The pool was nice and heated. Only downfall was we called before hand to make sure they provided play pens and they confirmed yes just tell the front desk when you check in. We asked upon arrival and were told they’d bring one up, 2 hours later nothing so we called, told again they were bringing one up nothing once again. So stopped by the front desk on our way to dinner and again told they would have someone bring up right away. Returned at 830 with no play pen once again so I called the desk to be told they didn’t have play pens. So they strung us along till 9pm to finally say they didn’t have them leaving us to have to drive 30 minutes to go buy one. Wish they would’ve just said from the get go they didn’t have one so we weren’t in the position with a very cranky 2 year old and not able to put her bed till 10pm.

Great experience in a convenient location to beaches and restaurants. The rooftop pool was a great amenity. Hookah wasn’t the best and I was charged for early check in time for 11am but they didn’t get me in a hotel room until 230pm then still charged me. I was under the impression I was going to get early check in, then front desk didn’t alert me it was ready until I came down but overall great experience hotel rooms were cleaned daily and the restaurant downstairs is a plus but expensive

It was raining when I arrived. There isn’t any covered walkway to the room, so all my things including myself were soaked before I could get the room door to unlock due to the lock and handle was barely working. Once you enter the room, the door doesn’t lock well at all, so not feeling safe at all, especially with the room is accessible from outside and not where you have to go through the hotel lobby to get in the room. I tried calling the office multiple times, but no one answered. The bed isn’t soft at all, much like sleeping outdoors. I had a second night booked, but due to all this I cancelled it and left. I began to ask for a refund and the hotel declined it. hotels.com have been kind enough to offer me a voucher in its place of a refund so I’m just waiting on that to come through email.

Let’s be real: we don’t even look at other hotels in South Beach anymore. We are officially part of the furniture here! We’ve stayed so many times it feels like coming home—except our actual home isn't this close to the ocean.

Why we are obsessed:
No \"Sneaky\" Fees: In a city where hotels charge you for breathing the lobby air, this place is a gem. Zero extra charges for cleaning and free beach towels. That kind of honesty is legendary in Miami.
The Suites are HUGE: We’re a group of three and we still have room to do a full BTS dance routine without hitting a lamp. The space is incredible.
The Manager is the GOAT: Seriously, the best in the business. They make sure everything is perfect every single time.

Now, about those umbrellas... ⛱️
Look, we love you guys, but the Florida sun is currently winning the fight against our skin! We’ve been coming here forever and we’ve noticed the pool area is missing its \"shady\" friends. Where are the umbrellas? Could we please get a couple of them out there? We’d love to lounge by the pool without turning into three human raisins. Just two or three umbrellas and this place goes from \"Amazing\" to \"Absolute Perfection.\"
See you next time

The room was not what was advertised. I checked in & saw the bed frame was broken/worn, the bathroom barely fit just myself and the curtain rod was detached from the ceiling. The staff was very nice and offered an upgrade however, the upgrade would not have been available till the following day, if not booked that evening. Given that a new room was not a guarantee, I had to find another hotel for my stay.

Shops, restaurants, beach were all close by. The staff were so helpful and accommodating. Some of furnishing and carpet was dated. However bed was comfortable, blackout curtains for sleeping were great. The downside was the shower wouldn’t turn on. I had a time commitment and needed to have maintenance to fix shower. Front desk was great at unsuccessfully trying to turn it on (this occurred before maintenance was on duty). I was given clean towel and able to shower in a room that hadn’t yet been cleaned in order to get out on time. However, no financial compensation was made for the inconvenience the shower debacle caused me.

The only thing that did work properly was the Internet. I wouldn’t stay here again. This hotel desperately needs a makeover. Just because you’re located on Collins ave doesn’t mean it’s 5 star!! Broken hotel room door, I def got a balcony room and they gave me ground level because that’s all they had, no TV service, the doors are lock key and old so mosquitos get in, I only SAW the pool and it was tiny. Took 40 mins for the hot water to work in our room would absolutely NOT STAY here again. The overnight girl told me I needed to wake up every 4 hours because she couldn’t direct me where to park overnight. The manager just blamed all the staff. What a joke and waste of over $1000 for three nights. NEVERRRRR AGAIN

My boyfriend and I recently stayed here during a trip to Miami and overall had a good experience. Our room was on the first floor with a garden view, which we really liked. The patio access was nice since you entered the room through doors right off the garden area, which made it feel a little more private and relaxed.

The only issue we had was with the door lock—it was a bit tricky to maneuver and you had to push the handle up in order for it to lock properly. Maintenance came extremely quickly though (within about three minutes of us calling), which we really appreciated.

One thing I wish the room had was a second layer of curtains on the patio doors. If you opened the curtains to let natural light in, people outside could see directly into the room. Sheer curtains would have made it possible to have some daylight while still keeping privacy. Otherwise the room relied mostly on two lamps for lighting.

The location was excellent and one of the best parts of the stay—we were able to walk pretty much everywhere. The rooftop pool was nice and the water was warm, although it was a little less impressive in person than it looked in the photos. Still, it was perfectly enjoyable.

All of the front desk staff were very sweet and helpful throughout our stay. Overall we had a great trip and enjoyed our time here.

I never leave bad reviews but there’s always a first time. As someone who works in the hospitality industry I’m shock with the level of disrespect guests are treated in this hotel.

In reality it was dead with no amenities. The \"pool bar\" was a fold out table occasionally staffed. I went to the pool one time, as it was not fun. Location was excellent. Close to beach, close to Lincoln Rd. mall, bar's, and restaurants right outside. Location and price very worth it.

This is a large, but modest property in sunny Miami Beach. It is NOT a fancy hotel, but it got the job done, and in some ways better than fancy hotels. It had a great location, close to Ocean Drive and all the lively restaurants, to Washington Ave a main thoroughfare with many bus stops and quickie eateries. It was really close to the beach. I liked that they give you beach towels. Our room had a king bed, a small loveseat/ couch, and a small balcony about 4' x 4'. The balcony was convenient to feel the weather outside and dry some of our clothes/ bathing suits after washing. The hotel has its own restaurant, but we didn't get a chance to go. There is a pool on the roof, but it is very small, not very deep, and there isn't a lot of space for lounge chairs. When we arrived in our room, several things were broken. The holder for shampoo/ conditioner/ soap, looked like it was falling, and so did the peg behind the bathroom door (essentially a towel hook) was also falling. Both were fixed after we reported it. The handle on the shower that controls water swung freely, so you have to be really careful with it. The original shower head had very weak pressure, but they replaced that too. Our balcony door didn't stay closed when we pulled it - we had to lock it to get it to stay. There was usually music outside, but the music was barely audible once we closed the balcony door. Definitely needs more bathroom counter space. Needs rugs on floor. Needs more space near toilet/shower.

The employee is at the front desk were very friendly- the room that we had looked nothing like the rooms that were pictured. We stayed in a one king bed deluxe room for reference. They had given our room assignment to somebody else at night when we stayed and they opened our door while we were sleeping, which was quite unsettling. We also requested a 1 PM check out but ended up leaving at 7:30 AM due to the night. We told them to please cancel when we were leaving and told them about our disturbance at night, which they recognized, but did nothing to amend it. They also charged us for the 1 PM check out and have been very difficult to get a hold of.. they did text me to say they will take care of it. I tried calling and no answer again.
