"Great Location"
My only problem with the room was the cleaniness the tube was dirty and the sheets on the bed had hair on it when I stripped the bed. No toilet tissue was in the room. I understand that this is an old building but cleaniness means a whole lot to the customer. I loved the balcony, cont. breakfast and the view from the room and the fact the room had a […] refrigerator in it.. I give this Hotel a 3 on my score book.. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Felt like I was in the projects with carpet"
Hotel is in the hood. Its across the street from the beach elevator didn't work I asked for a towel and it took 4 hours.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Parking costs $10 a day but there is plenty of it and seemed safe enough. Great view from room 318 directly accross from the beach, and walking distance to so many good restraunts and stores. The elevator was out of service, and the stairs were daunting, but I would still stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place for a guys trip."
For the price, the hotel is good...It is on the beach. It wasn't in a terrible section of town although when we arrived at 2 AM we did see some "ladies of the night". I was uneasy while walking around at night but I never felt my life was in danger :) The hotel was very very outdated. Didn't appear that they had done any renovations since 1970. One […] little window unit A/C for the room did not keep the room cool. However, the condensation dripping off of it did a great job of soaking one side of my bed. There is no pool or hot tub but we didn't go to Miami to sit in a pool or stay in the hotel room all day. All we needed was a place to crash at night and that's exactly what it was. It is very comparable to a college dorm room... 1 window, an old tube TV, and flourescent a light. They provided 2 bath towels but you will need to bring your own beach towels and chairs to sit in on the beach. It was fine for a guys weekend trip, but I wouldn't have felt comfortable letting my wife stay there. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"hotel to only lay your head not to stay"
the carpets had the meldew smell to the which is understandable because the room that we were staying in already had sand from the beach on the carpet when we checked in. being that close to the beach poeple come straight to their room after coming from the beach. so the just never vacumed the carpet in our room before we checked in. the tv was alittle […] 13" that did not get nick,disney channel, or cartoon network so at night there was nothing for my children to watch before bed. the one window in my room that did open had a torn screen.

"Don't like the area!"
This hotel is in ok condition, a bit ghetto, room smelled like some chemical cleaner and the smell was permanent. But service was good (well, I was there only for one night). It's located right on the beach, but North Beach sucks, too far from everything. I did not realized it's 70 blocks north of South Beach. If you don't mind, you can take a bus that […] will take you straight to South Bech. Trailor park type people hang out in the area and restaurants/bars are non existant, apart from a few ghetto shops/bars that I did not want to get near. Se Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Basic no-frills lodging"
Sure, we all know that the Ocean Surf is an older, budget hotel, but taking all of that into consideration, if just basic lodging and amazing proximity to the beach are important to you than this is your place.. The rooms are sparse, with just the essentials (including a small min-fridge) but are dutifully maintained by a staff of housekeepers who are […] eager to help you with anything not to your liking. On our most recent stay the TV remote was missing and the housekeeper immediately called in someone who brought a universal remote and quickly programmed it to the TV. Security in the room is fine, with double locking doors and a room safe (mandatory charge of about $2.00 a day, but still worth it) After few tips to help with your visit: Complimentary breakfast (7-9) in the morning is bagels, pastries, cold cereal, coffee. Nothing fancy, but enough to get you going Best food in the area - a small Cuban/Latin market on Collins (bet 75 and 76) for daily take out of freshly cooked entrees. Parking tags from the hotel are about $12 a day or you can use the meters (about $1 an hour) Nothing is needed after 8pm Hotel Wi-Fi is strong in the lobby and outside porch. Wi-Fi in the room is good but will occasionally go out - just disconnect and reconnect and it will come right back. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Stay only if you just need a place to sleep & shower for the hotel is OLD and needs to be updated - Price right....The staff is wonderful, helpful & friendly - The location is GREAT - right across the street from the beach & around the corner from Collins Ave....The room is VERY Basic - bed, large bureau, surprisingly a large semi-walk in closet with […] safe & tiny bathroom with window....It is very clean but feel like you're in the 1950's decor .....They give a complimentary continental breakfast and have a nice size lobby & front patio to sit, relax & take in the fresh air.

"Budget friendly."
You will get what you pay for it. Location is very nice. Close to restaurants, grocery store. Beach is very beautiful. If you plan to be outside on the beach the whole day- this place is perfect. There is a bed to sleap and bethroom to take the shower. For the price we pay to stay on the beach- I will not complain.I will come back again to this motel, […] but next time I will not rent the car - walking distance to everything you will need .

"19 to 21st December 2011"
Falling apart. Breakfast included but not worth getting up for. Hotel is on North beach Miami, so its about an hour bike ride to South Beach. However, can hire bikes to get there, so it's not a problem. Plenty of amenities such as restaurants and supermarkets in the area. Safe area too! Deposit is $100 when you check in and $5 for the safe even if […] you do not use it. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"you get what you pay for"
Its definitely cheap, but I loved being beach front. Its a local neighborhoood, plan to drive and pay for parking if you want to go out or see anything. The one lady at the front desk was very rude. Also, the breakfast isn't good. Bagels and cream cheese (my bagel was soggy), mini pecan pinwheels and juice and coffee. But I would stay there again if […] it was just another one night trip on a budget. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

I spent two nights and i had great time. The location es perfect in front of the beach and close to restaurants and supermarkets. Rooms are not luxury but there are clean and beds comfortables, so by the price is really a good deal. I recommend it if you are looking for a clean and comfortable place with good location.. Good breakfast too. The only […] thing is that is far from the Miami Airport so the taxi cost around US$38.... Martha Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Never Again!"
I would never stay here again. The walls were very dirty and bed sheets were dirty and never cleaned. Didn't give us any wash rags but gave us towels. Could hear doors slamming at all times of the night and I swear someone tried to come into our room. The only nice thing that I can say about the hotel is that the staff were very nice to us especially […] June, she was a sweetheart, and the location right on the beach was wonderful. Overall the hotel itself was trashy and I didn't feel safe staying there. But the location was awesome. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ocean Surf Hotel- Miami Beach, Fl"
You get what you pay for plus walking distance from the beach restaurants convenience stores and other shopping stores..The staff was friendly the rooms was decent better than being in a shack.

"It was OK that is all."
Thought we would take a chance and try this hotel out. The location is nice, walk across the street and your on the beach. It was not crowded and the beach area was nice and clean as well. The hotel, it is in need of some attention. Carpets need a good cleaning in the hallways or to be replaced. Elevator still does not work. The lady at the desk was […] super nice, she let us check in almost 3 hours early and did not charge us extra which was very nice. Our room was clean, the bed was comfortable. AC worked great, brand new window type unit. The downside was the blinds on the door to the balcony area did not cover the window very well. Lot of light came in around it and others have access to the area as well. Hope everyone enjoyed the show if they were watching. The bar next door had live music playing outside, you could just faintly hear it so it was not bad at all. The surrounding area was OK as well, a couple of great bakeries where real close and an excellent Cuban eatery was just around the corner, All in all it was an OK stay, I have stayed in worse hotels. Not sure I would go back to Miami Beach area or not, but if I did I would be inclined to shop around on other hotels in the area. The pricing was not bad, so if your looking for a place to sleep and be on the beach and you do not mind a few issues with the hotel try it out. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is simple, in front of the beach, clear. Is far from the downtown but you can use your car to do that. I recommend.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Pretty good"
Cheap hotel, very close to the ocean. The hotel does not look luxurious but matches the price. Staff speaks either spanish or english, so if you know both, you should be fine in either case. Keep in mind, price for the hotel does not include mandatory safe fee even if you do not use it. If you have such things as a laptop, it will likely not fit into […] the safe, so the safe is useless. If you expect receptionists to smile, it will not necessarily be the case. Our neighbors were noisy, who would listen to loud music at 5am. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Pros: Good Art Deco hotel .. Clean rooms and bathrooms ... Comfortable beds ... Friendly staff for the most part ... Beach is across the street ... Good location ...

Parking can be hard at times as there is no DEDICATED hotel parking area ... Window A/C unit not the greatest but kept the temp controlled ....

surrounding place was not really safe, but if you have a car for one day it would be ok.Genuine Expedia guest review
The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was not that great and it is very far away from South Beach. There is a bus line that can get you down to South Beach very close to the hotel, but there is no timetable, so you can wait for a while...Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very shabby, but not a bad location"
Located in North Beach, the hotel is quieter than its South Beach neighbors, and has clearly seen better days. The original turquoise-and-pink Miami exteriors are in place, but the interior has fallen into disrepair. If you want a place convenient to the beach, with a bed for resting and cuddling, then it's not so bad.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
