"Will not be back"
I made the choice to stay in the hotel based on location, very close to the convention center. The room was run down and the bed was very uncomfortable. The walls very thin and I could hear the guest next door to me snoring all night long. I supposed to stay 4 nights but left after two because I could not tolerate it anymore.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Richmond Oceanfront Hotel We are very sorry that we were unable to provide you with a wonderful guest experience. Our typical guest enjoys their stay and very often will return time and time again. We hope that you spoke with one of our managers who would have attempted to rectify your situation.
The service was terrible and the cleanliness around the pool area was non existent. Housekeeping comes around 5pm when your getting back from the beach. Terrible experience, Will never stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Richmond Oceanfront Hotel We are sorry that we will not have the opportunity to serve you again and provide you with an exceptional and memorable guest experience.
"great hotel for the price"
Great stay. Room is comfortable, clean. Pool area is very nice and has a direct access to the beach. Walking distance to Lincoln Rd. Very attentive personnel, except for the two doormen the day we left...very unpolite. They need some training to keep up with the rest of hotel service.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

No parking, valet parked car for 12 hours - $40., no free wifi, no enough electrical outlets, You have to put room key in light switch to keep lights on??? The one....I mean only one electrical outlet in the bathroom was up on the wall and very useless.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"It is OK"
In the end it was OK. We had to change our room twice in the beginning, because it wasn't ready and the other room someone smoked, even though it's a smoke free room policy. There is smoking at the pool area, which was hard to relax. There were some maintenance issues, but they quickly accommodated once reported. Food was OK, but some items a bit pricey. […] The hotel don't have chairs by the beach. It was not so busy, which I liked especially by the pool. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
good location to convention center - heavy rains led to unwanted bug problem in room - nice staff thoughGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Home-y and accessible to all"
I felt that the hotel has a home-y feel. I did not feel pretentious compared to staying at other higher class hotels. A good plus is that it's right by the beach and has a very nice pool with the perfect temperature. It's within 2-3 blocks from the convention center. And, definitely away from the partying and noise of Ocean Dr. The room is clean except […] for one sighting of a dirty silicon-looking ball on the floor, which may have been used for the ears for blocking noise. Speaking about noise, we can definitely hear doors slamming and voices from other customers walking on the hall, waking us up in the middle of the night. The toilet flush was very loud as well as the water pipes. We can hear toilet-flushing from other rooms as well as when somebody turned on the shower. Our oceanfront room on the 4th floor did not have a view of the ocean but it was a nice size for 2 people. We had palm trees and a pool-view instead. The hotel needs minor renovations (i.e. carpets are worn out; repainting needed; beach loungers are not offered). Towards the weekday, there were not too many people staying. This was an added plus since I don't like crowds and we have the pool to ourselves. The people working at the hotel were very nice though. Despite all the negatives, overall, we enjoyed our stay and will be back again...hopefully with an ocean-viewing room this time. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not so bad"
It was nice to have a private refrigerator, but there was no drinking water or morning coffee/tee supplied.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Location. Horrible beds."
The location and the pool can't be beat and the hotel staff was nice. I didn't mind the old-fashioned bathroom and "deco" furniture ... my only complaint is that I literally could not sleep through the night because it was worse than sleeping on a slab of concrete. For this reason alone, I'd never stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not for business"
Very art deco, South Beach hotel. Takes you back to the 1940's. No parking, valet $35/night. Room: Not set up for business, no desk. No plugs close to bed for phones or computer. Air conditioning weak, TV remote doesnt work well. Internet $9.95/day. Bathroom, no countertop, but there is a small valet area for dressing. While this is probably great for […] a vacation, great neighborhood, good restaurants, on beach etc...do not stay here for business. We paid premium dollar and with all the "extras" we could have stayed at full service Marriott for same price. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Simple with good location"
Spent only one night. Room clean. Simple, but didn't need the amenities. Great location near convention center and beach. Room was small-ish, walls thin (neighbors came in early in A.M. and had no trouble hearing them talk at a normal volume), water pressure moderate. If you're looking for an inexpensive (relative to other hotels in area) hotel that's […] clean and has pleasant, helpful employees, this will work. If you want lavish and grand, there are bigger hotels nearby. Overall satisfied with my stay given what I was expecting. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The staff were very helpful. They let me check in early as soon as the room was ready. They helped me with excellent restaurant recommendations. I was very happy with my stay there.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"good location, weird gross hairs"
The location of this hotel is very good and the pool area is nice, but the room itself was a bit shabby. There was ZERO water pressure-- very sad shower. Also, there were gross hairs in my linens. When I called the front desk to try to switch rooms I was told that they were full and I couldn't switch. When I asked for new sheets they said someone could […] bring them upstairs, but housekeeping was gone so I would have to change them myself. It was annoying and gross. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Richmond Oceanfront Hotel We are very sorry to hear of this issue. Naturally, it is unnacceptable that this occured and that the proper service and response were not delivered. A staff meeting was called to address this issue and retrain our service providers.
The front desk staff are generally pleasant, but heaven help you if you have to deal with Indra.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Scary experience, but good location"
The front desk made a mistake and gave access to my room to someone else's key card. A few hours after I checked in, a stranger opened my door with his own key card and said that he had just checked in and front desk staff gave him this room. When I telephoned the front desk, the staff's attitude was very nonchalant. It was not until that I personally […] walked down and asked to speak to a manger that an apology was given. Mistakes happen, but dealing with them properly is crucial. I would not recommend this hotel to travelers concerned about safety (i.e. single females), but if you are traveling in groups and looking for just a place to sleep, this is an economical hotel with great location to most of the actions.

Response by Richmond Oceanfront Hotel Our Manager on Duty immediately met with this guest following this very unfortunate incident. A new Desk Clerk, recently trained and promoted to this position, mistakenly assigned a new guest to the room that the reporting guest had recently occupied. The manager met privately with our guest and sincerely apologized for this regrettable experience: the cost of a room night was refunded immediately and our Operations Manager reassigned her reservation and personally escorted her to her new accommodations. The Clerk was counseled regarding this critical situation and re-trained regarding delicate guest security issues and concerns.
"Clean, comfortable room"
This hotel has a great location on Miami beach. It is walking distance to convention center, Art Deco district, Lincoln Road shopping and restaurants. The staff was friendly and polite. The room was clean and comfortable. There is an in-room safe! The bathroom was small but clean and the towels were soft and fluffy. I would stay here again.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Richmond Oceanfront Hotel We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciate these kind comments. The Richmond is a special oasis in South Beach: our owners are dedicated to the authentic restoration of this art deco gem and our staff is hand-picked and trained to provide friendly hospitality and service. Thank you for acknowledging these efforts. We will continue our renovations and this commitment; and we look forward to the pleasure of welcoming you back to the Richmond.

"terrible hotel"
after 20 years on the road for business this hotel has the worst staff I have ever seen. the service is slow. cleaning staff left used gloves in my room. no beach towels . no umbrella even though they advertise one. had to call for towels for the room . dark corridors. would never stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Only if you are not a hotel snob"
I travel for a living and I hardly ever book out of my Hilton family hotels. This hotel was simply for convenience (walking distance to the convention center). The staff was really great, but the rooms and the fitness center, were both less than desirable. If you are in it for the area and the cost, you are good to go, but not for comfort. The pool […] and direct access to the beach were definitely the best things the hotel has to offer. My hopes are they can re-do this hotel and life would be good.

"1 night in transit"
I wanted a place to relax on the beach during a 1 day layover. This was the perfect place! It was in a great location and the staff were super friendly and helpful. My only complaints were the floor was a bit sandy, and the machines in the exercise room didn't work well - but i didn't even realize they had one. So I wasn't too disappointed. The bus […] from the airport also stopped right in front of the hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Richmond Hotel in Miami Beach"
No ironing board. TV did not work half the time. Dirty spots on the carpet, walls, and doors. The curtain on the bathroom window was broken. The hotel manager is very unhelpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Richmond Oceanfront - Nice common areas"
The hotel has so much potential - the staff was exceptionally nice and courteous. The surroundings and common areas are clean, airy, lovely and spacious. The pool area is fantastic - with direct access to the beach. BUT, the most unfortunate aspects are: The rooms are like living in a dorm. Small and cramped, hollow doors where you can hear every conversation, […] you can hear faucets running, toilets flushing, doors opening and closing...it was quite frankly, miserable. After 2 nights, we changed hotels for lack of sleep. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great location right on the beach--I would go back when in Miami Beach."
The location of the Richmond was fantastic. The beach is conveniently in the back yard just beyond the pool and heated whirlpool. I was there for a convention, so it was within walking distance of the convention center and all the other eating establishments and shops too. The room was clean. I could hear people talking in the hall as if they were […] right in my room, but I am a good sleeper and just went back to sleep. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Richmond Hotel: Excellent location"
The hotel is excellently located near the center of South Beach, but away from the bustle of Ocean Drive. You can easily walk to Lincoln Road and the hotel is right on the beach. Surprisingly the photos of the room and the pool area are accurate on the website. If there is one thing that I could complain about it is they don't serve breakfast until […] 7:30, a bit late for a business stay. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The staff was friendly and accommodating. However, I was a bit shocked in that the lobby of the hotel was in a state of disrepair. There were large indentions in the marble floor and nothing in the lobby appeared to have been updated or renovated since the hotel opened. In my opinion, that is in direct conflict with the 3 1/2 star rating assigned to […] the hotel. I had to be moved from the first room I was assigned because it had not been vacuumed and the tub was not properly cleaned. I checked into this hotel after I checked out of the Catalina (3 star rating) because it had roaches. If you are going to stay in South Beach, I recommend you choose a 4 star or better hotel. I will from here on. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Not what I thought..."
The room was small...and the bathroom TINY! My tv didn't work nor did my thermostat. I had an iron but no ironing board. My friend had a board but no iron.

A good hotel for the price. This included a beautiful pool area, with great beach access. Rooms were clean but small, and the only negative is you can easily hear people in the next rooms.

"Faded glory - Could do better"
Location perfect for conference centre, street attractions, and beach and nice pool area. Hotel with faded glory, poorly finished, thin walls, single glass windows, noisy neighbours next hotel music and full conversations of the peoplein next room. The plumbing was even noisier with low water pressure in the shower. Tries for art decco but closer to […] 1950s styling. Restaurant there but basic and no service by the pool unless you walk in first to order. No hotel info pack in the room or restaurant menu on view. Staff friendly and helpful but not very well informed about the area. eg there is a bus to the airport directly outside the hotel for only $2.00 but they did not mention this only the shuttle for $21 when asked. Also had to pay extra for WIFI in room ($10 per day til 3pm) and business centre by the minute. Even the sunloungers on the private hotel beach had to be paid for at $30 per day.

"Peruskauraa Miami Beachilla"
Perus OK Miami kamaa, ei ollut perus Miamihomeen hajua. En käyttänyt ravintolaa, enkä mitään muita palveluja. Hiukan vanhanoloinen, kuten lähes kaikki tämän alueen hotellit.

"Super bad internet / great hotel"
The hotel is great and offers one of the best price/quality situations in Miami South. It is on 5 minutes walking distance from the Ocean Drive center of Miami South. The only really bad thing is the horrible internet. It costs you 10 dollar/day extra and is not from the hotel but from ATT. During my 5 days stay it costed me average half an hour to […] get on the net, as the ATT processors didn't accept both my AMEX and VISA card. So each day I was helped by ATT, not by the hotel, so you understand how long this took, to have a free coupon to 'save' me. Once online the capacity was extremely low. Not possible to look at YouTuube or to send or receive files. As my laptop is my office, this all was extremely annoying so if you are in business or need your laptop, don't go there until internet is included in the price and broadband capacity is sufficient.

"Richmond Ocean Front Miami, bad service"
The Hotel is OK and the location is great. Overall its clean. Rooms are OK but the shower was not working properly. After a request to check the shower, they did but no real improvement. The water pressure was reduced to ZERO... I travel a lot and it's always possible to keep the room a couple of hours for a late check out. This was also possible at […] the Richmond after asking several times; they charged me for a whole extra day, no other possibilty offered while I used it for 6 hours only. Internet corner offered Internet at a charge which was very slow. I did not manage to actually check in for my flight. After 10 minutes and Euro 7,00 I gave up. People were not very friendly so I do not call that service and I would not stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
