All in all not as bad as people make it out to be. It's a bit run down and the elevators are unpredictable. The rooms are dusty and need some tlc but not filthy. Very functional. The hotel is right on the water by the most happening spots and the parking, though public, is right across the street. Not exactly a resort but for one or two days just f […] ine. Read more

What can I say... you get what you pay for. At the end of the day, this place was perfect for walking to the convention center and lots of other places, including the beach! There are countless Ferrari's and Rolls-Royces in front of the hotel, but they're probably not staying at the Seagull. I am a world traveller and have had the great pleasure of […] experiencing hotels, hostels, camps in Africa, etc. and this place is fine. There were NO bedbugs, NO cockroaches, and the staff was cordial. Sure there's a couple of minor imperfections to the room, but you're in Miami/South Beach; GET OUT OF THE ROOM AND GO EXPLORE PEOPLE!

If you are looking for prime location this is the place for you .Though quality is out the door. Service was terribly but price does matters sometimes. My friends said never gain will I ever stay in a hotel like that again

This is a hotel in a great location, but, badly in need of refurbishment. I stayed in an unseasonably cold February day with low temperatures in the 40's. My room was the same temperature. The heating system did not work, but, a space heater was quickly brought to my room when I complained. Only one of eight floors had a working ice machine. Although, […] I booked and paid on line, the hotel charged $2.46 per day for the in-room safe I did not need. However, their price was good reflecting the hotel's condition. Very convenient to the Miami Convention Center, my destination. Read more

Poor quality hotel that is begging for a remodel. The only nice thing, were the employees, and unfortunately they need a job. The smell was bad, so I took a scented candle, the tub was nasty, so I took a pair of shoes to wear.....yes, I read the reviews prior to staying, but I needed the location. Lamp switches were broken, batteries were missing out […] of the remote, safe (a must pay for) didn't work, but maintenance came right up and repaired. Mildew all over walls around a/c unit. Sheets looked as if being slept in, totally wrinkled, bedspread and room completely outdated. Wore shoes the whole time while on the floor. Read more

the hotel itself needs a lot of work! but it has the best surrounding neighborhood, not much noise because it is fronting a public parking, hotel location is just 5 blocks from Lincoln road for shopping and dining, beach is just a stone's throw away, near ocean drive for bar hopping and dining, the rooms facing the beach are very nice but rooms needs […] upgrading, breakfast could be better for the price.

hotel smells of mold and mildew, carpets are old and doors in rooms don't close. elevators smell like beer. Facility is deteriorated somehow. However, it was not so bad. Staff was friendly and the location is great. They just need to improve the physical aspect of the building.

Location, neighborhood , pool, seaside perfect. The hotel itself is old, filthy, in bad condition, room stink. I enjoyed staying in Miami very much, in spite of the hotel quality.

Good hotel, old but good location.

Disgusting place. Really bad condition place. Definitely the worst hotel I've ever stayed at. Way over-priced.

thought hotel was very good for a two star hotel in a four star location. Staff was friendly and responsive.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

the front desk attendant, Linda was very nice, but other than that the hotel leaves much to be desired! the room had a very bad smell, there were massive stains on the carpet, cigarette burns on both comforters, and the bathroom was just plain filthy. we had to wear our flip flops in the tub when we showered, it was that bad. the location was great […] however right next to the W hotel so we could escape and have drinks there. it was right on the strip close to the beach, and New Years eve so we weren't able to find anything else last minute. thank goodness it was only for two nights!! I definitely would not have been able to put up with any more. Read more

I bought my ticket blind. i didnt know which hotel id get. After reading the other reviews I was apprehensive about this place. My expectations were low. I was pleasantly surprised and my experience was good. Yes, the place is the worst one in the area, but the area is full if luxury hotels. The hotel is on the beach in a fantastic location. I called […] in advance to make sure that I'd be able to have a late arrival and the fellow at the desk was very helpful and friendly. I ended up with a spacious room on a high floor. The ocean was visible across the parking area - a fine view. Security was fine and I felt safe. On the negative side, the hallways and elevator are grungy and the room wasn't the cleanest. The bed and pillows were comfortable and clean. The hotel decor seems to be from the 70s or 80s. it could use a facelift but all in all my stay was fine. Read more

HOTEL WAS CLEAN,BUT HAD MOLD THROUHUOUT. POOR SERVICE--OVER 2 HOUR WAIT FOR REPAIRMAN TO SHOW AND AND STILL WASNT FIXED BY TIME WE CHECKED OUT. GIRLS BEHIND COUNTER WERE MORE CONCERNED WITH EACH OTHER THAN HELPING PEOPLE STANDING IN LINE,AND GETTING A DIRTY LOOK FOR ASKING FOR HELP. PARKING WAS POOR AND COSTLY. NEVER AGAIN!

Totally ok- and cheap!

The hotel was a little old and needed some renovations as well as new elevators. However, the rooms were very traditional and comfortable. With the reviews listed I expected worse so I was impressed when I got there. The staff is pretty chill.

This hotel is terrible. Pictures online are from 30 years ago i bet. The only good thing about this place is that its right on the beach and close to all the hot spots in south beach.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very old hotel, A/C needs chaning, and breakfast is expensive and a joke, don't eat in the hotel

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This Hotel was really old and cosmetically unattractive. We were told we would have an ocean view but we only seen the ocean past the unkept buildings on property. Also breakfast at close to 20 dollars per head for a very limited selection of food.

Genuine Expedia guest review

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.

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

Genuine Expedia guest review

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.

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
