For the price we paid for a night the hotel was good. We only slept in the hotel at night and during the day we were out exploring. Loved the location Right on Ocean Ave. around all the shops and beach. Overall if you looking for a hotel for a night or two this hotel for the price is worth it.

The hotel is very dated. The rooms are small, and there are very few amenities. The location is perfect, however, if you want to be in the middle of the action at south beach.

Fresh off a week in a St. Lucian villa may bias my viewpoint but the Plaza Hotel could use a general remodel.While the location was great and the staff accommodating, the hallway and rooms were dated and showed wear and tear. Overall the hotel served my needs-overnight connection home-but for a longer stay spend a little more money (175.00+) for a fresher […] hotel. Read more

Great location but VERY OLD inside rooms. Small bathrooms. Good valet parking. l would recommend ONLY for location!

Genuine Expedia guest review

I thought the price matched what I expected. An old hotel in a very convenient location, the place served its purpose. The bar & deck are a nice place to wait or get together with friends. The staff is very friendly & made every effort to please my group. The place needs extensive upgrades but its serviceable. The breakafast you can skip. The parking […] is valet & cost me over $75 for a 3 night stay. It was retrieved in 10 minutes at any time which was key. All in all it deserves no more than a 3-3.25. I would stay again with a group of friends. Read more

This hotel charges a "resort fee" even though it is a far cry from being a resort. It's just another gimmick to conceal the true room rate. Otherwise it's a decent, clean place near good restaurants, tacky clubs and tatoo parlors, and the beach.

Beds were not at all comfortable... Rooms had an old smell to them.... Outdated but you also pay for what you get... No refrigerator or microwave in the room I had but if you're looking for perfect location to the beach with not a lot of noise when it's time to go to bed then it's perfect.... Don't expect 5 stars here but the guest services were extremely […] pleasant. Breakfast is basically fruits and muffins but again you get what you pay for. Great bar specials!!! Read more

The hotel did not have the accommodations told over phone by hotels.com. No washer or dryer available. No parking. Pay by night garage about two blocks away. Maid service only cleans once every three days including fresh towels. Service is not very friendly and lied about cost of room. Bathroom very small and uncomfortable. Room was clean. Hotel in […] good location to beach and nightlife. Read more

No room wireless. The staff answer in questions in a sarcastic way. Filled with teenagers and young adults.

Stayed at the First floor in the back of the yard - woke up at 4:30 am to LOUD saws and people screaming . I thought it was to early for people to start on construction.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

What a great location...corner of 14th & Washington. But the area is loud on the weekends. The hotel is charming with it's 1930's vibe and decor...too bad that it attracts the much younger, boisterous crowd that seems to take over in the evening congregating in the reception and patio area yelling profanities. Not for the family or older couples but […] great for the 20 something group looking for SoBe action. The front staff is very accommodating, and the bar is a nice touch. Read more

The room I stayed was clean and appropriate. The carpet on the hallway looked very old but didnt smell. Among many other hotels in the area it was one of the cheapest in price and I was not disappointed. Continental breakfast (starting at 8am) was included in the price However they had probably the lowest quality bagel and muffin. And very annoying […] thing was that every item said 1 per person on it. That is 1 small bagel, 1 fruit, 1 etc...Though the waitress seemed flexible in this matter seeing me hungry. Not much outside noise during the nights despite the location and Miami parties. However, early mornings I woke up with garbage truck noise collecting trash very next to my window. Free Wi-fi was good. Read more

The hotel is in a great location. Hotel staff was friendly. They brought my car out fairly quickly when requested. They have a hookah bar in the hotel which is great. Rooms were small but reasonable and clean. Bathroom was very clean. Hotel needs some updating but has everything you need for a night's stay. I would stay in this hotel again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was close to the beach and plenty of restaurants and bars. However, the beds were hard as a rock and the pillow were just as bad. Every morning the trash truck comes down the alleyway. You can hear it make at least 10 stops and empty EVERY dumpster before 7am.

Great hotel location but needs to upgrade their rooms

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is definitely old and could use some TLC but is worth the value (depending on when you book) given the location.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location is great, but this is definitely a boutique hotel. We had 2 rooms and one of them was not much bigger than my walk-in closet. You could almost touch the first bed in the room with the door. There are no peep holes on the doors. We got stuck on the elevator one night even though we adhered to the 3 person maximum (although they moved quickly […] to get us out). As far as the cleaning staff is concerned, all they did was restock the towels and make the beds. With us each taking 2 showers a day, I expect for the tub/shower to be cleaned daily as well. They do not tell you that they charge an extra "resort fee" outside of what you pay on hotels.com that basically entitles you to beach towels. The bar pictured is as small as a regular closet. And my biggest surprise about this hotel was the LACK OF ELECTRICAL OUTLETS! Our TV was plugged up via an extension cord! How do you have a modern hotel with only two sets of outlets in a room? So, clearly, we spent more time charging electronics than watching television. Positively speaking, the hotel is walking distance from the beach and sits in the middle of Ocean Drive. The hotel staff is very pleasant, also. I would recommend this spot if all you want to do is lay your head down. There are nicer places to stay not that far away, in my opinion. Read more

The only reason to book this hotel is location - but you can find better offers shopping around. The staff not very friendly - bad service - and they don´t care. The hotel is worn down!

Location is great; near to Ocean Dr, Lincoln Rd, etc but it takes too much time to get someone in the front desk when it comes to calling from the room. It doesn't matter if you have your own phone card for LD calls, they are going to charge a major amount per second plus taxes just because for the use of their phone facilities. It takes too long to […] access the room cause they are experienced some issues with their keys -cards- "because of the system". I wouldn't stay there again even some people of their staff has been kind and nice. Read more

They offer Valet parking for $25 a day plus tax. It's worth it because you have to pay for parking in this area. I was confused at first because the parking space in front of the hotel is a loading zone. I think its worth it. You get expired yogurt and small bagels for the continental breakfast. It's walking distance to beach. The rooms are good enough […] to get a good night sleep. Thin walls, you can here in the next room. The hallways smell like cigarette smoke even though smoking is not allowed in rooms. Read more

By the second time of booking in this same hotel, I had problems. I booked 2 rooms in South Beach Plaza Hotel and the reception clerk (Sebastian) tried to give me rooms in the South Beach Plaza Villas (there's no elevators in this one). The second problem: I booked 2 double bed rooms and the reception clerk (Sebastian) gave me 2 single bed rooms. Mr […] Sebastian said that woul solve the problem until midnight, but he didn't. He said to my friend sleep in the sofa, but sofa is not a bed. I am really unsatisfied. Read more

I would return for the price and location! South Beach hotel are all old and I am pretty sure all have thin walls. I was suprised by the thin walls allowed us to hear the guest next to us use the bathroom, the black hole cut out the shower for ventilation and the water pressure was so poor we had to use a bucket to rinse our hair and body. Although […] this is a great location, rooms are clean, breakfast was decent. I had the ability to return to the hotel after a trip to the Keys and the next room still had thin walls, but I was happy to find a shower with great water pressure and a white cover over the vent in the shower-rather then a black screen. Overall for the price and location I would return. Read more

I guess you get what you pay for. I wanted a hotel that did not cost much and boy did I get it. The walls were paper thin, and you could hear all the noise in the hall and the rooms on both side of you. When I asked for a Central Taxi Cab, I was refused and they would only get a Yellow Cab for me. Hard mattresses and could not controll the air conditioning […] in the room, it just ran all night. never again Read more

FAIR OVER, KEPT CLEAN , BUT OLD INFRASTRUCTURE!!!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel location is great. The hotel itself is wonderful. You can kind of hear everything going on in other rooms, but I got this hotel for a "girls weekend" so we didn't care because we were just as loud. HOWEVER, the hotel was doing some kind of promotional collaboration with a club nearby and we couldn't even sit at the bar in the hotel or outside […] on their patio without being hassled and visually molested by this promoter. It 100% ruined our time in Miami and our stay at the hotel. I don't know if this is a regular thing they do on Friday nights, but we had ZERO desire to go to this guy's club yet he wouldn't leave us alone. If you are a young and attractive female, DO NOT STAY HERE! You will not be left alone. We even had random guys who weren't staying there, walk into the lobby just to try and talk to us, very very annoying! Read more

The pics advertize a much nicer room than they offer. Location is a little sketchy and parking is a pain. All in all if you compare it to the cost of surrounding hotels its not the worst option in the world.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel needs renovation and a better breakfast, while I was on the line for breakfast, I felt myself as in a school cafetaria. However, the hotel was in a good locaition and had friendly employees.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

If you are not trying to spend a lot of money on a hotel, south beach plaza is an option. It was clean and close to clubs and places to eat. Definetly not the Lowe's or Ritz.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

First off, I get there to check in and I am immediately informed that I have to pay a higher night rate due to the fact I was not a FL resident. After informing the hotel staff that this was not indicated to me when I booked the package, I still had to pay. NEXT I get to my room and learn it is the wrong beds, instead of the two beds our room has one […] king. We returned immediately downstairs to get another room. The room was newly renovated however; there were little ants surrounding the window and along side the bed. The outlets were worn out and the television turned off if the wind hit the outlet. Additionally, when turning on the shower the water for the tub continued to run. The vanity over the sink pretrudes the sink so you have to duck. We stayed at this hotel in college and assumed it will be a similar experience, not luxury but good enough. We were disappointed and play to stay elswe were if we ever come back. Read more

Hotel staff was very nice. Room was decent, and pretty clean. Not a bad price for what you get in South Beach, and is a short walk to the beach. Plenty of places, shops, and restaurants within walking distance as well. If you plan to spend a lot of time in your room, don't stay here. I was able to hear clear conversations in the hallways from within […] the room, and it sounded like the people in the room above me were wearing cinder blocks for shoes. I felt the ceiling was going to cave in at any moment. With that being said, the hotel is not perfect, but is close to everything and not a bad price. Read more

The hotel was ok until I saw a roach.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Advertises all rooms with refreshment bars. Not only is tis not true they do not even have refridgerators in the rooms so you can bring your own or vending machines. So if you want a drink or a snack you have to go for a walk to the nearest convience store. Matress was so uncomfortable that my husband and I both spent the trip with a lot of neck and […] back pain. Also you can hear everything all night. Not really thier fault but between the people upstairs walking around and all of the screaming and anf horn blowing all night we had to come back home to get some rest from what was supposed to be our break away from everything. Only positive thing I can say is the people at the desk and door are very nice. I can not say that if you try to get breakfast. Both mornings the employee serving the food just left us standing there while she held a conversation with another employee and the first day would never have come over if we had not started to just go get it ourselves. Very very rude. Would not stay there again. Read more

We knew what to expect when booking this hotel. We simply wanted a place to crash for the night close to the beach and shops, and that's what we got. Don't expect a meticulous quiet room but if you need an accessible spot close to the strip, it's fine for the money.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was average. We stayed for one night and for the price it wasn't bad. Very small, staff was friendly and helpful; not a bad place if you are only staying for a night. Perfect location to walk to the bars and restaurants. There were stains on the sheets, lucky we brought our own blankets.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

if you are looking for one night only this place is ok, but they dont have extra blankets and the pillows are terrible! the breakfast was good and the location was the best, close to the beach!

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was under renovation when we arrived and they were working on it until pretty late in the evening. We had asked for a room on an upper floor and then were placed on the first floor. Check in was pretty late, and I feel it should have been mentioned that we needed to request an early check in. The perks were that the room was fairly good sized, […] clean, and they did have cable.

We had a room with two beds. We spent the first night in room 218. It's airconditioner was broken! It was freezing that night (Dec 14, 2010). We had to change our room to 104. Everything was OK there.

Dont stay in room 101, despite my asking for a quiet room, they gave me 101, which would have to be the VERY busiest place in the hotel, and was anything buy quiet. Otherwise all else was fine.

Very old building with very new paint. Old tub in our particular room with dirty water standing. Bed was comfortable, but the walls extremely thin. Our neighbors obnoxiously loud and yelling out the window at 6 am. Could hear everything. Everything else was clean and very conveniently located. You can walk everywhere. Continental breakfast-tried to […] get coffee and a bagel for my husband and I while he was asking question at front desk. Was told NO HE MUST BE HERE! One per person. Are you kidding me? She said this is management rules and not until he walked in himself did she RELEASE THE BAGEL! Read more
