Seagull Hotel Miami Beach

Excellent location, excellent shower pressure. If i had to do it all over again, I would've kept my money and slept in the car. A great place to enjoy the beach, get a quick shower and get back on the road.

there is nothing extravagant or luxurious about this hotel, but it was clean enough, the beds were super comfy, and the beach was right behind the hotel. would definitely stay again if looking for a last minute, inexpensive place to stay with friends.

My wife & I would have just left this place & walked Collins until we found a decent hotel if we had to stay here our entire vacation. Luckily we had a cruise scheduled & only needed a two night layover. This property was clearly purchased on the cheap & put back together even cheapper. Shame really, the lobby/lounge area are very appealing, but walk […] outside to the pool area & you see the begining of where the money stopped. Grounds could be nice if just maintained. The room however was a disaster. Base trim peeling from the wall, mold in shower, D grade patch work, a safe you HAD to pay for that could barely fit my wifes smallest purse, a bed with broken down sides. The first laugh was opening the door to see the dresser/TV stand missing 2 of its 4 drawers. I immediately reported this to avoid charges for damage. The front desk was plenty nice & offered to send maintenance to repair. I declined as I didnt plan to unpack my bags in this dirty place anyway. The final wonder was not only was it overly apparent that the air conditioner had caught fire at one time, but it was not adjustable. I ended up needing maintenance to come with a remote to set to MAX cool. Didnt seem to help, couldnt keep the remote, & I could not be certain the man understood me as he didnt speak ANY english. So if you just need a place to hang your hat for the night thats not the cleanest but at least didnt seem to have bugs or anything, then this place is probably one of the cheapest you'll find.

We continue to stay here because of the price and location. But it is not a nice place. The manager is very rude and double charged my room to my debit card. There is a small cleaning closet right beside room 216 (our same room the last 2 trips) and there is a very weird elderly lady that does nothing but sits in the closet and sleeps all day! I seriously […] thought she was a bum the first time I saw her in there! My 1 year old son accidently locked her in there one day! He didn't know any better and saw her in there and it scared him because of how weird she is so he slammed the door shut. She freaked out and was pounding on the door, then when the front desk sent somebody up to get her out she wouldn't leave the closet! That was extremely weird and kind of an unwelcome feeling knowing that some crazy lady was sitting outside your door all day everyday! The guy that worked right inside at the tourist information booth is very friendly and approachable!! Just wish the rest of the crew would take note. Housekeeping was friendly as well but can only do so much with a run down dump! New name but same old dump! See ya next time! Read more

Hotel needs repairs and better equipment.

While inline to check in a young man tried to sell me a "gold" chain necklace. When I would not look at his product, he harassed me about having plenty of money and "don't cost anything to look"

This hotel needs to be totally remodeled or knocked down...old & out-dated...it was gross!

The Seagull was our first stop (3 nights) on a 9 day Florida vacation. The reviews were all over the map so we weren't sure what we were getting into. Surprise surprise - it is OK. Our room with balcony looked over palms to the ocean - perfect spot to drink morning coffee. There is a very nice pool area which you will not know about unless you ask. […] There is outside city parking across the street - not cheap but convenient. The clients were all over the map but not bad until one of them decided to sing The Lion Sleeps Tonight at 1am just down the hall. The immediate impression you get is that the Seagull has seen better days and needs a facelift. Overlook the water damage and chipped paint and you will find this a good value for the location, room size, balcony and convenience to South Beach. We moved up Collins into a much more expensive hotel for our last night in Miami and decided that the Seagull would have been just fine. Read more

it takes 45 min. to adjust the water to get it to a temperature thats not scalding hot or freezing cold. unless you ask the front desk (when somene actually staffs it) about where to get ice, all 8 floors have machines with only the ice machine on the 7th floor operable. i spent 30 minutes going all over the hotel trying to figure out how to get ice. there […] are also mice- we spotted in the hallway one morning. the balcony door was so worn out the lock was inoperable and the deadbolt had almost an inch of play in it because the hole for the deadbolt in the door jam was worn out and as a a result oversized excessively. i.e. not secure at all. the coffee in the lobby is beyond consumable and we were told by the bartender that it tends to sit there for days at a time. Absolutely the worst hotel i have ever stayed at. not to mention its well overpriced. Read more

although this hotel is close to the beach, the hotel itself is in terrible condition and in desperate need of refinishing. Mold in sthe shower, diry and smells like paint.The staff was not accomadating or polite. There were hidden costs once we arrived including mandatory safe fee. There is no hotel parking only meter parking in lot at $1.75 an hour. […] we were unable to get a parking spot because all spaces were used by people at beach and had to park over 3 blocks away. We didn't stay second night and hotel gave hassel to get out of stay and had to have Hotels.com get us out of second night. Read more

If you get a ocean front at least you have the view, but that's it. Bugs in room could have carried my luggage out!

After reading some horrible reviews, I really expected the worst. While Seagull is certainly what I would refer to as a crappy motel, it was definitely better than I thought. For SoBe its a reasonable price and comparatively well maintained. The reception area and pool are nice, and there is security in the lobby. The only real complaints I had were […] that the towels and sheets were clearly washed but not necessarily "clean". Also I was told that I was being charged an additional safe lock fee of around 2.50/night, but got a $25 dollar charge on my card that was not explained. Also there is constantly the sound of slamming doors. Overall, great location, not bad price, definitely doesnt deserve the horror reviews especially compared to the other motels I saw in the area.

If you just want a place to sleep at night after a long day of walking getting to know south beach, then it is ok. if you have a car, parkink will be a mess, public parking payment is a real problem. we saw the hotel have a nice parking area in an alley beside it, but it is just for hotel staff and the customer have to fight for a spot on the public […] area and at 34.5 a day ! carpets needs replacement, elevator needs renewal of surfaces, rooms has no ventilation whatsoever, air conditioning units are split type and didnt work at all for us. internet is ok and worked all the time right in our room on the 8th floor. The best asset of the hotel is its closenest to the beach ! Read more

if you want to enjoy the nighlife, beaches and rstaurant in Miami Beach this is the perfect hotel, location and price is perfect, no parking and they charge you for a safe even if you don't use it, the check in is by 3:00pm but if you want the room before they charge $28 for. i did no pay for that then i have to wait until 3;30PM BECAUSE THE ROOM WASN'T […] READY. so that sound funny to me anyway like i said before the location and price is ok in MIAMI BEACH Read more

I was attending a convention at the Miami Beach Convention Center and this hotel is 2 blocks away, so the location was great. It was just 100 feet from the beach so this was GREAT. The lobby was nice, the service was good, the room I stayed in was in rough shape. But I was on the 8th floor and my room looked over the the beach, and that was nice. For […] the money this place was fine, the fun at the beach was more than worth the poor room. Read more

this is a nice hotel the staff was nice and friendly but the rooms could use some up keep

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Sea Gull is a little beat up, but it is the best value for walking distance to the convention center, beach, resturants on Collins, Wallgreens, etc. Great breakfast buffet. On the negative side, it is a little dirty in the common areas (elevator), but the rooms are OK. The hotel is in need of some refurbishing - dented doors, rusty door frames, […] etc., but the hotel is very functional, and the location cannot be beat for the price. It is not luxury, but for those of us that just need a place to sleep and chill out for a couple of hours in the evening, it is perfect. Read more

I read all the reviews and kind of knew what to expect. The elevators were a little slow, I just took the stairs sometimes. You can not check in until 3:00 - 4:00 The staff was great and helpful. Great locatiion. I was out side all day long and really used the room to sleep and shower. I loved the hot water pressure, and plenty of hot water. You have […] to pay to park, but nothing is free in Miami. I would stay there again, just to sleep and shower, bed was comfy, and great pillows. The building is a little noisy, but did not keep me up at night. Great Beach. Make sure you go to Lincoln Mall Road, about 1/4 mile away from Hotel. The beach is and the water is awsome. Rented Ferrari from Gotham Dreams Cars, check them out, ask for Andy, or Paul. Read more

The staff was slow and seemed to make up costs on the fly, claiming extra expenses as "taxes," which always seemed to come out to an even dollar amount, hmmm.

The view was gorgeous, […] but the room smelled musty and the elevator was a bit sketchy. Read more

I am no way a hotel snob. I want cleanliness, a good location and security. I don't really need all the extra amenities. The Seagull only has location to offer. This hotel was horrible. The hallways look like they haven't been painted in years. The first room we were given had a moldy smell to it. We found that the carpet in the closet was wet. We changed […] rooms and the 2nd room we were given was just a bit better. The door to that lead to outside there was about a inch gap from the base board to the actual door. So, you could see the sun shining in from the outside. The door was poorly secured. We didnt notice this till the next day. We decided to change hotels. I would avoid this hotel at all cost. In my almost 25 years of traveling and staying at hotels this has to be the worse hotel I have stayed at. Read more

The best thing this hotel has and the reason why I continue to go there is it´s location. Other than that the hotel is very old and poorly maintained. Some rooms have leaks all over the roof so when it rains you could get all your stuff wet.
