The Continental Hotel

Hotel looks like it's in a war zone, under construction the only good thing there is the staff.

Something out of a scarey movie... Itore like a dirty old motel.. The place look abandoned

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is going major renovations, which isn't reflected on the website, there was no cable, no internet, no pool. It really was poor by hotels.com and the hotel that they didn't communicate this when booking.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was by far, the worst hotel I've stayed in, in the United States. It was filthy. Completely dirty. No working electrical units. Phone didn't work. Is undergoing a well needed renovation, though they should probably just demo it and start all over again as this hotel was a hot mess!!

Hotel under construction, not to much people in there, no pool available, no direct access to the beach, the should say that the hotel is being repaired

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel smelled like mold. The appearance is nothing like the photo. The rooms was disgusting bathroom water was dirty didn't even use there sheets to sleep used our towels that we purchased at the gift store.. Would never go back. Lastly the key for my room didn't work had to go back to front desk to help open the door. Terrible

Genuine Expedia guest review

I stayed with my family for a week. Many days the hotel didn't have water because the hotel is under construction so its a big mess. The elevators got stuck several times. Also they advertised that the hotel has a pool, however the pool was also under construction. My advice is don't book this hotel pay a little extra and get a better hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Disgusting doesn't begin to describe the level of uncleanliness this hotel represented. While the website of the hotel indicates heavy construction, it doesn't allude to the fact that the hotel looks condemned. I understand construction is a necessity for renovations when you are trying to keep up your brand for a tourist-driven area, but while half […] the hotel is under lock and key, what is the problem with keeping the available rooms presentable and sellable for use? The rooms that the staff were so eager to sell look as if they have been sitting vacant and dirty for at least 6 months. Had these realistic photos been posted on the hotel's actual website, I would not have wasted my time or money; however, the photos on the hotel's website lead travelers to believe this hotel is at the same level of quality as a Wyndham. I will never recommend this hotel to anyone and I will tell everyone I know visiting Miami Beach that they should steer clear. Read more

Absolutely horrible! The hotel looked like a demolition site. It did not even look open. When we first got there, the entrance was blocked off and there was like a dumpster there and all this construction material because I believe they were doing a renovation. No one was behind the desk when got there and we had to look around and call out for someone […] to help us. The room was sweltering hot and the air conditioner was not working. The room just looked old and outdated. They had an old outdated tv as well that did not even have an air conditioner. At one point, my girlfriend and I wanted to take showers and there was no running water at all. We had to go and complain to staff downstairs and then they turned it back on like 20 minutes later. And when the water was turned on, it was brown in color and stained the floor of the tub! Lastly, as we were checking out, we parked our car in the round driveway in front of the hotel so we can easily put out luggages and suitcases into the car and when we went back upstairs the employee behind the desk called a tow truck to come tow our vehicle, even though I told him we were checking out. It was just a horrible experience. I would not advise anyone who loves themself to stay there. Read more

This stay was horrible. When my friends and I were looking for a hotel for our first time vacation in South Beach this place seemed to be affordable and the pictures looked amazing. We were decieved. When we arrived the air conditioning was not working in our room. The room was dirty we did not sleep underneath the sheets. The pictures were molding […] and the view we had was looking at another building. We did not have a fridge in our room like we were promised as well the beds were full size not queen size. This hotel was in a nice area everything in walking distance but I would not reccommend anyone to stay here. Read more

The hotel is under what appears to be very slow renovation. This fact was not disclosed in the Expedia profile of the hotel. The pool area is abysmal and the hotel while in a good section of SOBE is sorely in need of serious upgrading.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I booked the hotel for 3 day we only stay the first night, the hotel was dirty, it smelled like weed and cogaretts even thought it was a none smoking, we could hear the people from the next room and smell the weed, I was there with my kids and the next morning we woke up with the noise off construction, and we got up and booked another hotel.

Umm

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Continental Hotel should be closed down until all renovations and construction is done. One elevator is completely out of service and the other one works when it wants to and sometimes it won't stop on certain floors.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

half the hotel was under much-needed refurbishment. Only one elevator worked, and the workmen seemed be taking everything in and out through the one public elevator. The corridor smelt of drugs, the hot tap in my bathroom didn't work, the ice machine on my floor didn't work, the air-con wasn't chilled, it just circulated the same air, and the pool was […] dirty.

Otherwise the location this hostel has no value. almost zero maintenance. You won't find cheap hotel at south beach. Book a hotel either little far from south beach or spend more money.

HORRIBLE. Should really be shut down by health inspectors. They tried to put me in a room that was damp with the odor of mildew hanging outside of the room. You have to ask for wash clothes as they do not give any out. Thank goodness I travel with my own towels and clothes. Having that hotel on the strip like that is a diservice to that area. They need […] to have a meeting and get it together. NEVER AGAIN, not even just to take a nap. Read more

It was a real bad exp. with a 5 yr. old kid. People go here for lots of boozing. You can smell all kind of smoke all over the place of this hotel. We had to complain about the uncleaned room (may be people did no. 1 or no. 2 on the carpet). They gave us a second room on 6th floor, little better than on the other one. But too much noise all night, no […] one cn sleep. Not a family friendly hotel at all. People come here to party and sleep all day. Very shady environment all over. Not for people like us, who has kids and want a nice environment. Read more

Where can I start ? This Hotel should be inspected by health department. Old dirty sheets, etc. etc. just disgusting !. Hotel.com was helpful cancelling the remainder of my reservation. Sorry Continental.

Aside from the location this was the worst and dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed in. My husband and I are very simple and younng so not haveing the fanciest hotel room is no big deal... this place was beyond that. Dirty everything starting with the outside our room was dirty including the very old bedding which one of the beds had sand and long dark […] hair everywhere in it ...mind you my husband is bald and I have short blonde hair... only a hand towel and barely normal size towels left in bathroom for 2 guest loud rowdy guest up and yelling down hallways, fights in front of hotel/lobby gblass bottles being tossed out window which have no screens... a no smoking hotel but betweed marijuana and cigarette smoke that's all you smelled. Just run down and not taken care of at all the ws debris in the hall that was overlooked for almost 24 hours. I would never stay nor recommend it to anyone... sleeping on the street would be cleaner!

First the front desk is not helpful at all. When you ask to get extra towels for the showers they are very reluctant to do so. And they don't even have face or hand towels for you. And if you plan to arrive early before check in and you want to drop off your bags before so at least you can go to the beach or walk around until your room is ready they […] make you pay per bag! Next if you plan on driving your car or renting one for your stay they do not even have a parking for their guest. They tell you to park in a parking deck 3 blocks away for $30 a day! Last it would be nice if they updated the rugs, beds, hallways because it looks like it has not been changed since the 80s. All in all you get what you pay for. Please take my advice and don't stay here. If there was a good thing about this hotel it is the location. Close walking distance to everything on South Beach. Read more

I stayed for a week and I was never given washclothes so we had to purchase our own. The Walsh are very thin and you can hear everything. The pool was dirty and filled with leaves.

This hotel is awful. There were no towels or wash cloths in the room when I checked in. I took them 2 hours for towels and 6 hours for wash cloths. The air in the room was not working. The lienes were old. The furniture was outdated. I was mold around the lamps. The carpet is was bad. The only good thing about this hotel was is there address. Please […] don't waste your money. I know that it is a two star but really it shouldn't even have a rating it shouldn't be open. I was HIGHLY upset. Read more

The guy receptionist was rude and not helpful at all. Our toilet was not working and when we told him he brushed us off and did nothing about it. He charged us an extra $25 dollars to let us in a dirty room one hour before check in. I have stayed before at this hotel and it always sucked but it was the cheapest rates at the time but forget that I would […] rather pay more and have a clean room thats has a working toilet.

I would say it was a nightmare. I would not recommend this hotel to others!!!!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel looks as if its trapped in the 70's. The hallways had a awful smell probably from the old dirty carpet filled with stains. The hotel offered a city view but the only view i saw was of 2 vacant buildings across the street. The room had an old analog box tv with 22 channels with only 15 working. Out of the 15 working 6 were in english & the […] others were spanish infomercials. The bedding looked very old and so did the room furniture. Thank god i only booked for 1 night & my finance and I didnt even sleep in the room we opted to stay in a friend's room instead. My suggestion is that everyone should stay away from this hotel & try to find a much nicer place! Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel room was dark and very dated. The bathroom was also in desperate need of a renovation. I went to open the window which faced the side of another hotel and opened onto a partial roof. The lock was rusted and did not work, anyone could have just stepped into the room from that low roof. So, I tried to call the front desk and the telephone cord […] fell off the phone receiver, totally frayed and dead. We did get another room which was not better. The pool outside was in very bad shape, the tiles and concrete all cracked and the grass dead with no other landscaping effort whatsoever. And of course there was no life guard so use it at your own risk if you dare. As we sat on the moldy lounge chairs, listening to the music from next door, feeling envious of all the other beautiful people enjoying the pool next door it was depressing. The only positive thing was that it was on the beach side with direct access to it. Read more

Worst hotel I've ever stayed at. Unclean, out-dated, poorly maintained.

Horrible, extremely filthy, rooms are disgusting, staff is very unfriendly. I would never go back. Stay away if you can you will be disappointed.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was by far the worst dump of a hotel I've ever had the pleasure to find myself in. The entire place is completely run down and in desparate need of renovation. Or, maybe, someone should call for the wrecking ball. The carpet throughout the place makes you wish you brought your rubber boots to Miami Beach. The door frames showed 3-4 layers of chipping […] paint in all different colors. The beds are old, the pillows terrible and the blankets so disgusting that I chose to sleep with my clothes on -on top of the blanket and the pillow wrapped in one of the bathroom towels. This might be a perfect place for an out of control spring brake. The highlight was the next morning when I found at least 5 bites from bed bugs. I decided to check out early and moved to another place. Luckily, I got a refund for the second night. I will never ever stay in this nightmare of a hotel again! Read more

This hotel had a great location, but everything positive stopped there. They were unable to give me the oceanfront room promised during my booking, then gave me a room that had no lights by the bed that worked. There were bugs in my bed, no paper or pen in the room, and no phone books in the room. Even the front desk had no yellow pages. In addition, […] there was no coffee in the building, nor food to be eaten aside from the machine stuff (hot pockets were the closest thing to real food.) This was the worst place I ever stayed in my life. I will never go back unless I develop amnesia. Read more

Old hotel that is in dire need of remodeling. Hallways smelt like a litter box, room had no alarm clock, no clothes hangars, hole in bathroom door. Bed Hallways and doors were all beat up. No WIFI in the rooms, only the lobby. No parking (valet or otherwise), had to park a few blocks away. Now, I've stayed at cheap hotels, was just there for business […] and normally don't care as long as it is a decent bed and shower. But add all of these things among other stuff together and I checked out after my 1st night out of three. Oh and the elevator certificate had expired if that matters to anyone. Read more

This was the worse hotel I ever stayed in. I would never go back there. You had to go to the main lobby to get Internet service, the cable always went out they had about 8 channels. Just the worsted. Never ever go there they charge you a fee to use there towels. You just could not get comfortable at allll
