"Shoddy Hotel- You're on your own with Essex House."
This was a very shoddy hotel experience. I was having a great trip, so it was in spite of that I continually ignored the zero amenities, dank smelling room broken elevator for a 3rd floor walk-up and construction going on in the lobby. If I hadn't been busy having fun at Basel week this review would be even worse.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Decent Hotel with the Worst Mattress Ever"
Hotel staff members were friendly and relatively helpful; location is pretty good (only one block from the beach); room was clean but bed was probably the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept on. My wife and I booked a five night stay at the Essex House Hotel and after only one night decided to check out early (AND pay 50% of the value of remaining […] nights) and move to another hotel around the corner (which was cheaper, better location, great beds, staff was more friendly, etc. - it's called Roommate Hotel: Waldorf). I wouldn't recommend the Essex unless you don't mind sleeping on a 4" thin rock-hard mattress. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Expected a little more"
Great location, spotty maid service, no drawers for storing stuff, very loud (difficult to sleep through the night).Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"4PM check in! Too bad"
The hotel itself is located 1 block from Ocean drive, which is nice BUT we arrived at 8AM and the check in was only at 4PM!!!! As a consequence we wasted almost one day wandering in Miami. Furthermore the cooling system -which is very important in such a hot location- is crap, noisy and hard to use. We will not recommend this hotel because of their […] 4PM check in policy which is crazy. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Essex House--Great Location"
Essex House had a very friendly staff and the location could not be beat. The use of all of the Clevelander amenities was a big perk as well. The biggest drawback other then the walls being paper thing was that both my companion and I had a number of bites on our legs that we believe to be bed bugs. Thus far, I have not been able to get a response from […] the hotel one way or another, I just keep getting forwarded to no named voicemail boxes. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Essex House Hotel"
It's such a cute, cozy, and clean hotel. This hotel is one of the art deco buildings and it adds to its unique style. The area is very nice and convenient, 2 blocks away from South Beach. One thing I like is it gives you access to bars and rooftop lounge in Clevelander Hotel, which is right next door. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. The room […] is clean, well-decorated and with cable and wireless internet. I really have no complain. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Essex Hotel- you can do much better for far less $"
We were some what disappointed with the room being old & run down. Many,many renovations being done at the hotel from carpet,landscaping,pool,etc. Extremely unhappy with the garbage trucks noise picking up on alleyway EVERY morning at 7 AM and seemed to last forever. Had fire alarm go off for no reason several times but maintenance was quick to take […] care of it. Noise levels from other rooms VERY loud at all times of night. Would not stay here again.

Did not like it...Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good location, bad service."
The lobby smells, people in front desk were mad all day long. Room wasnt clean. Hot water doesnt work.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Will not return to Essex House"
The on-line pictures are misleading. The lobby and lounge areas were nice, but the room decor was dated. There was a horrible musty smell in the room and the carpet was filthy with several stains. The TV remote did not work. The bathroom was very small and the toilet was too low. There were no ice or vending machines to be found anywhere, although there […] was an ice bucket in the room. We only needed the room for one night, and the price was right. It is in an ideal location, close or within walking distance to everything, but due to the cleanliness of the room, we will more than likely choose another hotel on our next visit to Miami.

"Avaliação"
Hotel bem localizado, porém os quartos são pequenos e as paredes não dão qualquer privacidade nem comforto acústico. Troca de itens de uso pessoal como sabonete só ocorreu 2 vezes em 5 dias de estadia.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"sicher keine Empfehlung"
Im 3. Stock reichte das warme Wasser zum Duschen gerade für eine Person. Danach war es nur noch lauwarm. Das Fernsehgerät des Zimmernachbars lief die ganze Nacht durch und konnte komplett im Wortlaut durch die dünnen eingezogenen Wände mitgehört werden. Das auch um 04.00 Uhr. Na dann gute Nachtruhe. Nach Reklamation an der Rezeption war die nächste […] Nacht auch nur unter gestörte Nachtruhe zu verbuchen. DAHER: NIE WIEDER!!!!!!! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"peut mieux faire"
Accueil agreable et service professionnel mais quelques points négatifs qui font que j'essaierai un autre hotel la prochaine fois: Grande chambre mais vide! pas de meuble à tiroir, un dressing avec penderie mais seulement une dizaine de cintre et une étagère! pas de coffre, pas de frigo, pas de machine à glacons (il faut demander au bar). la piscine […] ferme à 17h pour laisser la place à la terrasse du restaurant! l'hotel est propre mais il ne faut pas trop regarder dans le detail: une enieme couche de peinture à ete passer sur les autres lors de la derniere renovation... au bout d'un moment, ca ne fait pas tres net... Il y a beaucoup d'hotel à SoBe... celui la à du charme, mais ca s'arrete la Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
