Excellent location in Surfside Miami, it`s a shame, but I found out that the hotel will be closed next june, because it will be demolished, and in its place, the new owners will construct a new private building.

wish I could have stayed longer. I didn't anticipate that I would be extending my vacation for a few days.I tried to book room for couple extra nights but they were sold out. I am currently at days inn on collins and what a dump! stay at best western if possible.

Big room, very clean but dated and sad looking.On the beach which is great. Pool old and unappealing.19$ for overnight parking , rather expensive for that kind of hotel.breakfast not interesting.expensive hotel overall for what you get.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is nice and right on the beach. There was a upper deck above the pool with a great view of the ocean, which was beautiful. The room itself was pretty good except the beds. They were horrible! The double beds were small and had dips in them and sagged fromoveruse I presume. They need to upgrade the beds.

The room is great, one TV did not work in the living room. Room 441 and the microwave made a popping sound which made me uncomfortable to use it. loved how big the room is, being able to control the temperature, wish the ocean view was from the hotel room.

The physical location of the hotel was great! The hotel maintenance wasn't so great, my room in particular had one of two TVs that didn't work, a lamp that didn't work. The bed wasn't soo comfy and barely had any blankets on it. I wouldn't revisit this location

Hotel was old but well kept they used to much bleach on sheets girlfrind got rash a bit over priced !

Genuine Expedia guest review

This is a very nice older hotel right on the beach and convenient to restaurants, grocery and public transport. Rooms were clean and comfortable, but if you insist on the most modern of bathrooms then this is not for you. Pool area is nice, but not resort expansive. Stay here to be on the beach not sit by the pool. Public transport all the way to south […] beach is about 20 minutes depending on traffic. We would definitely stay here again. Read more

Regrettably, the excellent location for this hotel did not match the expectations regarding:1-quality of services (the receptionist was unfriendly, the assigned room was available only after 3 h after our check-in, in spite other rooms were given to other arriving customers and no explanation was given for such unexpected delay). 2- Quality of breakfast […] (the dining room area was very small and the standard continental breakfast was subpar for a three-star hotel); 3- quality of rooms (cleanliness, toiletries) and registration area. A renovation is urgent! Read more

This hotel has a great location -- right on the beach in Bal Harbour and is more reasonably priced than most Miami Beach ocean-front hotels. But the building is old and worn and the rooms are faded and tired, not up to most Best Western standards. Service is good, like most BW properties -- good breakfast, free computer and coffee in the lobby, nice […] room amenities, beach chairs and towels provided, etc. Read more

This hotel is by definition an average hotel by Miami resort hotel standards. When you see the 4 and 5 star hotels and level of luxury they have, you'll see what I mean, however you are looking at at least 2 times the price per night for those. The room was nice with a kitchen and a suite layout (bedroom was a separate room). The location is right on […] A1A and is on the beach, so thats also a plus. It's also very conveniently located around all sorts of restaurants, shops, and stores (including a Publix) within very short walking distance. Lastly, the daily complimentary breakfast they offered was very nice. It was a full scale breakfast with, eggs, sausage, french toast, cereal, fruit, yogurt, juices, and coffee. The limitations of this place is the two pools are very basic and not that large and there is no jacuzzi or many other amenities. There isn't an exercise room, sauna, lounge, or bar or anything like that on site, so if those things are important to you, then you might want to upgrade to another hotel. Also, there is an additional $19 a night parking fee, which seems to be the norm in the Miami area. If you're looking for a hotel that its on the beach and is pretty comfortable that you won't have to break the bank for, this is the type of place for you. If you want more amenities, features, and luxuries with your hotel, you will want to find another place. Read more

A small hotel, basic equiped, well located, breakfast regular,but never changes. Good to use as a base.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Old and outdated. A/C fan sounded like it was going to break and fall out of the ceiling. $18/ night for parking, but think that goes for the whole area. Very disappointing. Bus stop is right in front of the hotel which makes it easier for getting downtown and to south beach.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room is large with a kichen. It's clean although the hotel is a bit old.

Lack of quality.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I liked the area, the hotel was right on the beach and very close to markets, boutiques, and the Bal Harbor shops. Despite the housekeeper's best effort's the rooms were out dated and grimey, the carpet was the worse, within minutes the soles of my feet were black with grime. The bed was comfy, but the windows in the rooms did not open and it was stuffy. […] The front desk staff was hit or miss, the nickle and dime you death....long flight and you want to check in before three, that will be 27.00. I was also very stressed as I needed to work, the internet barely worked, they did send someone up and I managed to get one bar in certain parts of the room, to slow to get anything done so I will be working like a madman back home. The housekeepers were the best part, they were kind, caring, and very hard working, as was the grounds staff. Read more

Well from check-in it started off with surprising news that you could only park one car and that there was a nightly cost. Then we get to the room and it was small and looked nothing like the pictures. The room was clean, but very uncomfortable. The furniture was old and beat up, you would sit on the couch and you sunk into it. We also noticed that […] the hotel had a bug issue, a bad one. The free wi-fi was extremely slow, let me rephrase that it was suicide inducing. Last but not least when I checked out I forgot a shirt and pair of jeans that I had brought on my personal hanger. When I went back to pick them up, they were given to me in a garbage bag and without my hanger. I will never stay at this hotel ever again. I am even going to write to Best Western and make sure they are aware of what is going on at this location. Read more

Was close to airport, direct on beach

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is literally right on the beach! The room was extremely clean - housekeeping did an excellent job of cleaning the room each day. We were pleasantly surprised to find a full kitchen with a stove, oven, fridge, etc...so we saved money by eating in the room. It was more like an apartment with a big bedroom a lots of closet space. It was wonderful […] getting up in the mornings and going to the beach and also walking on the trails along the beach. Will definitely stay there again! Only drawback is that you have to pay about $20.00/day to park and sometimes it's a challenge to find space. Read more

Shabby on the outside, but the rooms are spotless, spacious and comfortable. All right on the beach, with a Publix and restaurants around the corner. Really great value.

i reserved a room months in advance.but the lady at the desk was rude and told us even if we reserved a room that doesnt guarentee us the room we wanted.she tryed to give us a king bed.i reserved a room with two beds.i have never had an issue like this before.or have been treated like that from a front office clerk.i also had asked for a 1st floor because […] i have a heart condition.but that didnt happen either.i will never stay there again when we are going thru town.and i was also told there was shuttle service to the airport. but there was not. so i had to pay 44.00 dollars both ways.so thats 88.00 dollars i would have saved if i would have stayed somewhere else.or spent the extra money to avoid all of the hassle we received.

Nice Hotel, not to big and just at he beach. Beachfront Room recomended.

Great location, clean room, cheap rates, will book again

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

People staying at the hotel were very loud. Each room can fit approximately 6 ppl. I think families take advantage and bring like 10. The tvs barely worked. Only like 15 channels. The Internet was free but slow. The good thing was that it was on the beach and close to a lot of restaurants. The heated pool was also a plus. For the price, not bad compared […] to the other hotels in surrounding area. Don't forget to add 20 dollars to your rate...parking ain't free... Read more

Great hotel if you are on a budget. and like the beach. Rooms are suites nicely kept. Amenities include path for jogging 50 ft before you get to the beach, Volleyball area, two Pools but lounging area around it very small on one and the other non existent. Breakfast area not designer style as floor has two different tiles but pleasant. No elevator in […] two of the buildings. Parking addt'l fee. . Read more

We were having a great time, enjoyed the location, loved the room set up, everything, until one of the hotel staff (maintenance) made fun of one of the overweight family members, saying "dont eat so much" as we walked through the corridor. It was so embarrasing it ruined our whole experience. I should have complained right then, but was afraid of how […] that person might respond. Sad that the hotel was so perfect, but the staff member ruined it for us. Read more

Good value! The hotel is relatively small compared to other hotels in the area. You have the sausages and eggs breakfast with pastries, cereals and juices, I can’t complain, it was good. The hotel will charge you $20 for parking. The hotel is clean; staff is friendly and will help you booking for various types of tours. The hotel one block away from […] a Publix grocery store which is a big plus! I had the Oceanfront Room, very big with a nice full kitchen, living room and balcony. Read more

The hotel is o.k., nothing to fancy and a little dated. The best part is the location on the beach.

For the price I would say it's a fair value. The hotel is somewhat dated and is in need of some refurbishing. The bathroom was extremely small. No mirrors outside of the bath. They work hard to keep it clean as the staff was always cleaning the outside area's. Breakfast never changed, same items everymorning and the breakfast area can't handle the weekend […] crowd. Also parking was very tight on the weekend. Cars on the grass etc. I was also hit with a $57.00 extra parking fee upon checkout that I didn't expect. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful.

Bed was uncomftable

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location of the hotel is just perfect. The surf side beach is a perfect beach with some privacy and not a lot of people in there so families can have their own sweet time there. Also the rooms are quite spacious and perfect for a 3 day holiday. The service is decent. The people at the breakfast counter are kind of rude and never smiling thats the […] only negative point of the hotel if that is of great concern.Overall a good experience. Read more

Great place for the money. Beach access was awesome! A bit of a drive to south beach but you can't have everything.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We stay at this hotel just recently one week, and I can say - it was wonderful! Very good room, kitchen inside, Internet, good service, free breakfast - nice, location excellent- beach in 3 steps, store for food just next block, you can order any activity on front desk, so it was best hotel ever!

Genuine Expedia guest review

A pleasant surprise! Location was fantastic - right smack on the beach and a block from Publix and the Surfside shopping and dining. A bus stop was right infront of the hotel which made catching a bus to South Beach as well as up to Aventura quick and easy! I did have the ocean front suite with a balcony and enjoyed it. The hotel is old, but it was […] clean and well maintained. Wifi was very good. Staff was friendly and helpful. I also felt safe. As a single traveler, that was important. Breakfast was perfect - bagels, toast, oatmeal, eggs, sausage, french toast, coffee, cereal, and juice - can't ask for more. I would stay there again. Read more
