"Excellent base to explore greater Miami"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 6, 2012
Hotel staff very friendly. nice lobby, good breakfast with fresh fruits and no plastic dishes. After complaining about the size of suite we were sold for 5 persons (definitely too small and not a fair sale) we were given complimentary upgrade to a two bed room suite by the manager which was very much appreciated. Free parking and free wireless internet are very convenient as well as close access to highway and airport.

"Comfortable, clean, & close to the cruiseport"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Free shuttle to the hotel from airport. Nice exercise room and pool. Room was very comfortable, staff friendly, and hotel was well-maintained and clean. Shuttle provided by hotel to points of interest and cruiseport. Definite return stay next time catching a cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale.

"Location: A+. Hotel: F"
All I can say is GHETTO!!! We planned a girls getaway and wanted to be really close to the beach. Location was great but that’s it. I was first in line to check-in but had to wait 20 minutes cuz the concierge tried to check-in 3 parties at once. After three trips back to the front desk, we were still unable to get into our room cuz the room door was […] broken. The concierge actually got huffy with us! But my friend set him straight and yelled at him in front of the other guests. We finally got a room on the 1st floor. Our new room was clean and renovated and had good AC but the lighting was practically non-existent (this is more of an FYI for those of you who plan to put on make-up). The highlight of our stay was when our neighbors had a drunken fight at 3am. It was like listening to an episode of Jerry Springer. Lastly, our friends had booked another room, which ended up smelling like an ashtray. I am not exagerating. It was the worst smelling room I've ever been in. They ended up switching rooms as well. Their new room was clean but also still dark as a cave with only one mirror in the bathroom. Read more
It was great I go back again

"Albert and staff were fantastic"
Best location on the beach. All our needs met and then some, We will now only stay there
"1 star hotel"
Day time staff was nice and tried. Night time staff sucks. Harold the front desk person would not get us towels after 7pm. because the cleaning staff was already gone, he also stated what do you expect from a two star hotel. Rooms are too small, bed matress uncomfortable, bathrooms are falling apart, lobby bar over priced. We were a big group we had […] 5 rooms and we asked if we could get a delayed check out with just one room. The front desk manager wouldn't do it. Other hotels on strip like The Park Central offer a room to hold your bags and a room to shower after checkout. Read more
"New remodeled rooms."
Wood floors, new upholstery, new everything. I was in room 100 and it was amazing. The service was amazing. No bugs! I ask for mayo (lol I was making a sandwich) and the got me a squeeze bottle. I had a problem with vallet parking, and they fixed it. All in all will return. Btw location is indescribable! Awesome
"2 Girls Trip to SoBe @ Colony"
The workers were very helpful in fixing issues that arose in the room, as well as suggesting great eats & places to go & things to do. The hotel is right across the street from the beach (in this area this is the closest you can get) and near many restaurants/shops/clubs/bars. Almost everything was in walking distance (even walking distance in heels) […] and the area felt very safe. The hotel offered beach towels (which I wish we would have known) and has a restaurant out front from it, but so does every hotel on this strip, so finding food isn't an issue. Because of the friendly staff who immediately took care of anything and had no problem throwing out great ideas, I would definitely go back. Read more
"Nice South Beach destination"
In the heart of South Beach, this hotel is old but well maintained. It was a little weird having to use valet parking ($22/day) but once you're at the location you'll understand why. Right across the street from the beach and beach volleyball. Good TV and wifi. If you go check out the Decobikes to rent all around Miami Beach. They are very convenient […] and well worth the cost. Staff was helpful and friendly and had a great stay. Will go back if I'm in Miami again. Read more
"colony hotel stayed during Ultra Music Fest"
good for purpose of location. Hotel room was ok, staff was nice to provide extra towels when requested. Good for purpose of being close to action and for a place to stay.
"Hotel Good / Valet Terrible"
The hotel is obviously older, but very clean & in a convenient location on South Beach. The initial concierge that checked us in was awesome! However, they changed shifts & the next concierge was not as helpful. We had an issue with our keys, he said he would send someone up to fix it, but they did not. Luckily the cleaning lady let us in. We had to […] sort the problem out later on our way out. Also the blow dryer kept overheating after 2-3 minutes. They said they would send another one up, but they never did. If you need to blow dry your hair bring your own! The main thing I was disappointed about was the valet service. Apparently the service is for the all the hotels on that street, and you have to valet because there is no local parking (which is fine). They say to call 20 minutes ahead of time to get your vehicle. We had Miami HEAT basketball tickets for a 7pm game. We called at 6:10pm. We did not get our car for an hour & a half!!! We arrived late to the game with only 5 mins left of the 2nd quarter. We were extremely upset about the situation & the valet service didn't really seem to care about the problem...kept saying the car was stuck in traffic. The next day when we went to check out of the hotel it took about another 45+ mins to get the car. I suggest calling an hour ahead of time. Other than that the hotel itself was great for our needs.

"Almost a 5"
The hotel is in an awesome location and the room was really nice, the only things I didn't like was the smell of fries in the hall and the fact that you can hear the people outside in the morning moving and getting stuff. Other than that I would have given them the 5.

"Colony Hotel Miami Beach"
This place seems to be in a great location, right across from the beach, but it is also a VERY loud area. The hotel itself is poorly lit and dingy. Rooms are fine, but the "lobby" is a dump. Also, the room had only one light and so we had to choose between charging our phones and using the light. Also, and most importantly, there was no running water […] in our SHOWER! We had a very early flight so tried to take showers when we returned from dinner/bars. No water. Then we woke up early in the morning -- still no water!! Who ever heard of a hotel in the US that did not have running water in the SHOWER?!?! Outrageous! Read more

"The Colony is in the middle of South Beach"
Older hotel with small rooms, small bath, and hardwood floors. Great location if you want to be where the action is in South Beach. It was clean and neat , but the beds were noisy. In room Wifi did not work while we were there.
"colony hotel in miami beach"
Really comfortable everything is so close...loved it there will do it all over again...
"Great expereience"
Was concerned about cleanliness and noise, but was pleasently surprised -- room was fine and quiet. Front desk & staff friendly and helpful, plus also enjoyed patio breakfasts. Great location and value. Will stay there on future trips.

"Couples retreat"
My wife and I had a great time, great mojito in the lobby bar, ocean view room upgrade was a blessing and Ocean drive is fun and alive, walking and people watching, choice of street cafe's for dinner and short walk to the Mango club for dancing, street cafe for breakfast and a walk on the beach, priceless
"Great Value and Location"
I honestly don't understand how anyone can give this hotel a bad review. 3 of my friends and I flew down from New York to celebrate my birthday over a long weekend. We're all well-travelled and all 4 of us thought the hotel was great. Our room featured two double beds (If there was only one thing that could be improved on is the quality of the mattress, […] but even so it was comfortable enough), enough space for 4 adults to get around in the room, well air conditioned, quiet and the bathroom has a nice "waterfall" shower. It wasn't the world biggest hotel room, but I wasn't in Miami to hang out in my room. Also, The staff was super nice and were helpful for any of our needs. Location was absolutely key though. Directly across the street from the beach. (they do beach towel rentals for free with a $10 deposit). Downstairs there is a Johnny Rockets with the world's cheapest breakfast (and good!) and three doors down there is Wet Willie's, which is by far my favorite bar in Miami. Definitely book here for a good price and a great location. However, if you're looking for ultra luxury, go somewhere else. Read more
"It was good!"
Great Location
"1st time to Miami"
The hotel was in great shape and what I expected for an area known for very small rooms. I am glad I was aware of the small room size before I got there or I would have freaked out! The box spring was very, very noisy and made it difficult to get any quality sleep. Just outside our first floor window was the kitchen door for Jonny Rockets restaurant […] and deliveries started at 6am. Deliveries were very noisy as well for over an hour while the driver used a metal ramp to get inside the kitchen which made a huge racket every time he went in and out. I confronted the front desk face to face at 7am and he said we were lucky it wasn't one of the days that they powerwash the exterior floors! The hotel has tried to talk to the City about it but haven't been able to do anything about it. Very sad because everyone could use a good night sleep after a South Beach night! Read more
"Colony Hotel South Beach Fl."
I reciently stayed at the Colony for four nights. I found the Maid service to be satisfactory. My bed was maid up every day and I recieved fresh towels. I did not care for the rain shower. The room could have had a table and chair for the use of my laptop. Everyone was friendly and helpfull. Definetly would go there again. Mostly the elevator would […] not work. Read more

"Colony Hotel South Beach a nice place"
I recently spent a night at the Colony hotel in South Beach at the end of a business trip. The room was clean btu very small. The hotel was right in the middle of the South Beach activities so you will not be disappointed if you want to get to the Beach or the famous club scene.
"Colony Hotel"
Great location, very small room, and very old building. Smelled like mildew.
"A classic, but marginal at best."
The location is mighty convenient -- right in the heart of the ocean drive strip -- and it IS an iconic, Art Deco hotel, BUT... I have never paid so much for so little. Rooms are small, as might be expected in an old hotel. The bed was ridiculously lumpy and uncomfortable. The maintenance of the entire facility was obviously a low priority. Parking […] was off site and very expensive, but that also is no surprise. On the plus side of the ledger, there was a nice, 46" flat screen in the room (unfortunately, though, no high-def channels). The room did have a lot of handy shelves for organizing our gear and my wife liked the wood floors. Bottom line: I'd stay somewhere else next time and take a cab to South Beach. The place is just too divey to pay that much. Read more
"Nice Hotel for Quick Trip!"
I cooked The Colony through hotels.com, and was a bit hesitant, due to the fact that it was cheaper than others in the area. I was very pleased after arriving - the location is awesome - literally across the street from the beach! We were right in the middle of all the fun restaurants/bars on Ocean, and had a blast. We did arrive at 2:45 in time for […] the 3 pm check in, and our rooms were not ready. We were instructed to leave our things in the lobby and go out/have fun - that was a bit frustrating, considering there is a 4 hour window between check-out/check-in, and the hotel is not that big... Our only other complaint was the amount of time it took to get extra towels - service was slow. However, we enjoyed our stay overall, and I would definitely consider staying again at the Colony. plus, no one goes to Miami for the hotel stay! ;) Read more
"Great, funky old hotel"
Perfect place to stay on South Beach. Only issue is parking, which is $24 (same as most places around there) and the 3rd floor wireless has poor reception (try to stay on a lower floor.
"Colony Hotel - great location, value & staff!"
This hotel is great value for the money! You can't beat the location right at 7th and Ocean. We walked everywhere and its so close to lay out on the beach. Rooms are simple and clean. The very best part of the Colony is the great staff at the front desk...we loved the guys at the front desk...they took great care of us and made us feel welcome. We come […] down here every few years to run the half marathon and we will definitely stay at the Colony again. Read more
"South Beach Icon - cheap yet decent"
hotel is right in the middle of south beach. tons of touristy eateries in the vicinity. lots of night life. hotel is quiet once you are in your room. if you stay on the first floor, be sure to request down the hall a ways as the door to the lobby slams pretty hard. room was clean. bathroom was adequate. this is definitely not on the level of the ritz […] or the sagamore but hey you arent paying those prices either. overall not a bad place to stay.

"Fantastic!!"
Had a great stay at the Colony Hotel-right in the middle of all the action on Ocean Drive!The rooms were very clean and well maintained and the staff were all very friendly.This hotel was a great find and will definitely stay there again as it is in great condition and met all our needs.
"Great location, wonderful service"
The front desk person went out of his way to make us feel at home from the moment we walked in. He also was committed get us the information on nightlife for the under 21 crowd as well as other information we wanted to know. Couldn't have been happier.
"Colony Hotel-South Beach"
What the hotel lacked in the layout of the rooms, they made up in a superb location for experiencing South Beach and with stellar service.

"Colony Hotel, Miami"
Convenient and safe location right in the center of South Beach Art Deco district. Helpful and friendly staff. Clean and good size rooms. The shower curtains need to be replaced by sliding doors as after each shower the bathroom is flooded! Recommend it. Will certainly go back.

"The Colony Hotel Miami Beach- AMAZING!"
We had an oceanview suite, and it was awesome! It was a 26 second walk from our room in the hotel to the beach directly across the street! I can't say enough how great it was, and the staff was also very helpful, and friendly as well! I would recommend this hotel to people who like to be right in the middle of everything, and want a real Miami Beach […] experience! Loved every minute of it! This was the second time for me in Miami, and I will never stay anywhere else, even if I can't get another ocean view room this hotel was great! Read more
