Casa Grande Suite Hotel - Miami Beach

The hotel is located smack dab in the middle of Ocean Dr., directly across the st. from the beach and in the middle of Ocean Dr. action. The room was very large and even included a kitchen and dining room. The desk clerk was very helpful and sweet. Negatives include, no breakfast, pool or parking. Would definitely stay there again.

Outstanding vacation. Our room was huge with a full kitchen and living area. The bathroom was big enough for two. The bedroom area was tight but still fine. Highly recommend at the very least room 204.

I reserved a room with (2) Queen beds but got upgraded to an Oceanfront room with (1) King & a Pull out sofa. It was an awesome room, the only thing bad about it was that none of the interior room doors would lock. everything else was amazing. location was excellent, the beach was right in front of us and less than a block away was a liquor store where […] we could fill up the cooler and take it to the beach. Great Hotel and i would def go there again. Read more

This place is horrible. The building is very old, not maintained at all, the carpeting has not been changed for decades, Smells very bad (should keep your socks and shows all time), the tiles on bathroom walls were falling in the room we were staying, Door frame rusted, and the room next door to us was either recording or dance studio. There were 24 […] hour music, and at times I saw up to 12 people coming out and going into the room at different time of the day and night. Service quality on a scale of one to ten was zero.

Awful. paid for oceanfront suite and was told I didn't book that room. No way to confirm because of third party booking through Hotels.com. Even with documentation. Total lie. Meanwhile, major renovations were happening on their oceanfront suites. Never again!

Upon arrival..the front desk clerk was rude..but did allow for early checkin. We ask for an upgrade since the hotel was not full..instead we got a lovely decorated room with beautiful appliances and a view of a wall with two birds sitting trying to escape the rain. The mildew smell needs to be addressed. On checking out..the front desk clerk was extremely […] nice and apologized for the previous clerk and offered an upgrade on our next stay.I will definately stay again when in South Beach..

Room was bare bones with "frat house furnature" and almost bare walls. Bathroom was 70's vintage with fixtures that had been repaired many times. Good space and location, but no class to the place. New appliances, but everything else was very tired. Decoration was minimal and furnature was beat up.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel's location, front desk and free internet were positive points. The rest is disappointing. We took two rooms. Although they are spacious and have a well equipped kitchen, they weren't very comfy. One of the rooms had bathrobes, the other didn't. Toilet paper was of cheapest quality, the shampoo came in pouches. When the cleaning staff passed […] through the rooms, they did not bother to vacuum the room or mop the toilet floor. They left sand and cookie crumbs on the floor. The a/c in our room was either too hot or too cold. The resort fees of $25/room/night is exorbitant for what you don't get in return. I would consider only if one is on a tight budget. Read more

The room was really big with a galley kitchen and a sitting area. The sheets were too small for the king size bed. The bathroom was old school with the best shower head and water pressure. They had coffee downstairs but it would have been great to have supplies to make my own in the nice kitchen. There was plenty of room to stay for a week here and […] make a few meals in house.

Great location and big apartments. Couple of areas where it looked a little 'tired' and had to ask for towels and robes as these had not been restocked after cleaning. Would stay here again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

One of two of the staff members was really negative. It was clear he wasn't happy to be there and was not friendly at all. In fact, when we learned there was a $25/day hidden "resort fee" for coffee (no milk, just crappy creamer, crappy cookies, oranges and beach towels/chairs," I asked about the chairs (seemingly the only valuable thing offered) and […] he replied to me that they were "lousy," which they were. The walls are aso very thin and so we were kept up by our neighbors who watched tv till 4am. They weren't being excessively loud, yet we could hear every word. Read more

A poor and perplexing experience overall. We had inspected this hotel two years ago in anticipation of possibly staying here in the future. Upon arrival, we found a hotel in much poorer condition than we had observed in the past. To wit: * All employees were rude, curt and seemed stressed; * One desk clerk confirmed that we had an oceanfront, however […] the one who actually checked us in said we had two doubles without a view, and that Expedia details are NEVER confirmed until check in (we eventually "were upgraded" for free but told to book directly with the hotel in the future); * The room we got, 204, had a direct-ocean view through two tiny windows but the windows were screwed shut; * The "resort fee" of $25 (which was "taxable" up to $28.25) should not have applied as the previously observed spa facility was nowhere to be found (and the desk clerk said she knew nothing about a spa); * A creepy housekeeping employee approached the front desk while we were checking in and inquired of us, curtly, "are you done???" and asked us to step aside so he could flirt with the desk clerk; * Most alarmingly, the front doors, which open directly onto the debauchery of Ocean Drive, were not locked at all between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., despite a sign indicating otherwise. There are plenty of other choices on South Beach. We will most definitely not be returning. Read more

Very nice location. btween 8th and 9th street. Within 2 blocks of Wet willies, clevelander pool party and Mangos. Gave us a free upgrade with huge balcony

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I was a bit surprised of the $25 daily charge for towels and coffee on top of the 28 daily charge for valet. These 2 charges were not optional. I would have preferred that these fees would be listed when requesting a reservation, this way you can compare apples to apples when shopping around for a hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

You get what you pay for. At the end of the day, you're in a hotel on the beach in Miami... Can't complain.

Genuine Expedia guest review

1--Location: AWESOME. Across the street from the beach! 2--Parking. A little confusing. Guy out front for valet parking has a cheaper rate for you if you pay in cash. 3--Accommodations--decent. A little sparse. Not a "wow" but definitely clean.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

left my shoes there and called them and they said they did not find them. they were bright green, they were not that friendly and i wouldnt recommend them in the future

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was a good value. The water pressure in the shower was terrific, but the bed was very hard. Also, a $25/day resort fee is ridiculous - there is no resort!. The fee is for cookies, coffee and pool towels, none of which I used. The staff was very friendly. Finally, the WiFi was spotty at best and unavailable at times.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is actually individually owned condo units that are rented out to travelers via one central booking authority. The authority provides the upkeep etc. While it is nice to have a spacious "apartment" type place to stay in, it lacks the "hotel" experience. There weren't "extra" pillows or extra towels...overall a comfortable stay but avoid if […] you want a "hotel" expereince. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Totally not good for the money. The hotel staffs are not helpful and did not tell us there are extra person charge when we check-in. The room condition is a little disappointing.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I have stayed here two times before but it will probably be the last. The room was very tired and out of date. There was no hairdryer because it was broke off of the wall. When I asked for one they were less than anxious to accomodate me and said that they would see if they could locate one. I ultimately had to track a "maid" down to get one. The floor […] felt like a sponge in the bedroom as it had the laminate flooring that pinched your feet between the boards when you walked. The pillows were small and flat. The man at the reception area greeted us with the most unfriendly greeting I have ever had in all my years. If you get a good rate it is good for the dollar value knowing you won't be in your room much but boy those rooms need an upgrade. Read more

This hotel was so disappointing! You need new pictures. The furniture was awful the couch in the living room fell in when you sat on it. There was not 1 single picture on any of the walls the bathroom was dirty and we had to put up a $150. Deposit not sure why since there was absolutely nothing to take from the room! The pictures were beautiful the […] rooms were ugly. The Resturant next door was fantastic the only thing that made this stay enjoyable! Read more

We would recommend this hotel based on location only. The view from the window was amazing but the rest of the experience left much to be desired. Next time we come to Miami we would stay elsewhere now that we have seen the view once. The couch was so filthy we didn't sit on it. It had a white sheet covering the majority of the dirt and stains but overall […] was gross. We pulled the dining room chairs over to the window and sat on them while in the suite portion of the room. The resort fee of $25 per room is unreasonable. It apparently covers beach towels and internet (and coffee and an orange in the lobby). Oranges were non existent, coffee was empty, internet was incredibly slow and sporadic. Can't comment on the beach towels as we brought our own. Staff were OK but not overly enthusiastic to make you feel welcome. Local restaurants, night life, beach access were all great. My recommendation to the hotel would be do invest in the furnishings and ensure a clean room. This would greatly impact the overall rating. Read more

if you want south beach, this place is in the middle of the action. walk out of your hotel to sidewalk restaurants or across Ocean Drive to the fabulous beach. Is really condo where rooms are rented out in arrangement with hotel management. Full kitchen with living room and bedroom. Hard to find anyplace like this for the price in the location. Speaking […] of location, if your room is facing the ocean like ours, don't come home until 2 AM. Music from downstairs super loud (tuesday night??!!) Too bad. Also the add on for resort fee or some such is explained as covering wifi, morning coffee (with oranges!!wowee). Whatever...forget the explanation, its just sticking the customer. Read more

I loved this hotel I was able to check in early which is usually hard when I'm traveling in Miami. Excellent stay and I would stay again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I think that additional fees should be disclosed upfront to all who wants to stay at the hotel. When I paid for the hotel through hotels.com it was clearly mentioned that all taxes and fees paid, however, when I got to the hotel, I was informed that there was an additional $25/night resort fee. Why wouldn't this fee be disclosed upfront when I was booking […] it and why wasn't the option to pay for it given at that point?! Also, the deposit of $100/night is charged which I think is outrageous. Otherwise, the hotel was nice, rooms were clean. I think the location is one of the best. The staff was friendly but some of the front desk receptionists were completely useless and rude at times. Read more

This Hotel is very expensive and bear in mind that you have to pay $25/day as Resort Fee and $25/day for Parking in addition to what you pay as hotel charges...Also bear in mind that you to pay $50/Day/Person if you are more than 2 persons staying in the Hotels..

Funky hotel! Bathroom looks like something out of the 60's. Spacious with comfortable beds. The $25 resort fee is bogus and should be removed. Supposedly this covers oranges, cookies, and beachtowels. We ate two oranges and two cookies for which we paid $50. Come on! Having said that, the staff is pleasant and responsive to problems. Fixed issue with […] window promtply and was very helpful in arranging a car switch with our rental car company. Read more

Best location if u want to be on Ocean drive street ,very close to the beach . You room will be above the resturatnts and the pubs there , it's not neccary disturb to sleep - we couldn't hear the noise from the bedroom . my opinion - Lincolin Ave is more fun than Ocean drive , it's very nice place to walk with great atmosphire , clean and not old as […] ocean drive ... and with younger population (Ocean look old with older population with old fashion entertainment) The stuff are really nice and willing to assist any time. The price we pay was very good price compare to other hotels on oceon drive and we were so happy we didn't choose other hoterl cause they are all really old and really overpriced compare the price we pay. The room: our rooom was really big with almost real home kitchen with all the accessories - we didn't use the kitchen to cook but for the ones who does it can be perfect . for the room size , we got suite which told us it's the honeymoon upgrade from the manager but i think all the room are suite in this huge size and the upgrade was just for the location of the room(face to oceon drive ). The resort fee for 25$ is something the hotel MUST change it's high and it's not justify paying for each day there another 25$ (before tax!!) for beach fee and cookies near the front desk. This is not fair but this is Miami beach , your money is the proffesinal of the people who live there so they are a bit greedy every where you walk. Read more

Great location. If this is the first time you come to Miami, you need to book a hotel on Ocean Dr. Step out of the hotel at night, you step into restaurants, shop along the street, bar club with candle light and gas lights. So beautiful. Everything is here. You will experience experience much more fun than if were to book the hotel somewhere else.

You pay for the location. Everything's within walking distance including beach and restaurants. We didn't use our car once.
