Cavalier

We were looking for a room for one night prior to leaving for Key West. Thank goodness for the location right on Sobe, otherwise we would have considered sleeping in the car. For what we paid it was a wash.

The only reason to stay at this hotel is for the location. Old and dirty rooms that I just did not feel comfortable in.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The place is a decent hotel in the middle of all the action. Can't beat the bargain!

VERY old place. Doesn't look like it has EVER been updated. Not the cleanest. VERY thin walls. Watch the valet parking b/c it is run by outside company and kinda sketchy (at one point we were told we couldn't have our car for 2 hours, then they got our rates all mixed up and tried to charge us more then was due). However, location is PERFECT, right […] in the heart of South Beach. Plus they serve breakfast, lunch, dinner right downstairs if you want to eat w/out going too far. Overall, if you are looking for a cheap place to lay your head at night, this place is fine. If you are looking for a nice hotel to spend alot of time in, keep looking. Read more

The stay was ok. The staff was really friendly (especially the dining staff) and the food they served was prettty good.

We stayed at this hotel in the past. Free drink if expedia booking but you have to ask for the coupon, they don’t just give it to you. We stayed on the 2nd floor & 3rd floor. I requested a "newly renovated room" in my bookings so the rooms were recently renovated but the contracted must have been a fly by night drunken worker as the tile in the bathrooms […] were very uneven and not straight, in one room the bathroom the door was so close to the toilet they had to cut out about 2 inches of the door so the door could close. NO screens on the window, it says non smoking but there was a clean ashtray in the room (room did not have a strong smoke smell) hotel has a creepy 2 person elevator. 3rd floor rooms were hot. The thermostats in the rooms r old the old. You could put the thermostat on 50 & the rooms would stay the same temp, our a/c vent was closed. I spoke with the mgr and was told the entire building has 1 thermostat & they could not change the temp, the thermostat in the room’s dont work. Parking is not included in the $ of the room, valet is $25.00 & you have to pick you vehicle up by 1pm the next day or it is another $25.00. Or there is a parking garage just behind the hotel on 13th and Collins that charges a maximum of $20.00 for 24 hours. Better value for your money and your car is closer in case you forget something in your car. over all the room was ok, great price compared to other hotels on Ocean Drive, bar is good, beach right across the street, tons of enertainment Read more

The hotel isnt the nicest but if your looking for a clean place to stay with great location this is the place! Recommend for the average person not looking for a super fancy place but somwhere to sleep right on south beach.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My stay was great. The hotel is in the perfect location right off the beach and walkin distance to shops and clubs. Really enjoyed the surroundings. The hotel, itself, is outdated and some of the staff isn't all that nice but that didn't stop us from having a good time!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Fantastic location. However, plan on spending $25 per day for parking at a local garage or using valet as the hotel has no parking for guests. The room was OK, a good value. The in-room safe didn't work and it was never fixed, despite brining it to the hotel's attention. The food at the hotel restaurant was good and the hotel staff was pleasant and […] very helpful. I would stay there again for the location and value. Read more

The older lady The front desk was so rude. She didn't even acknowledge us when I greeted her with "good morning". She just looked at us and said " credit card and ID". Then come to find out that check out time was one hour earlier than what it said in the website and she didn't care to clear it up. We still needed the room so we checked in anyway and […] when we ran into a much younger lady at the front desk she was a delight and resolved any issues we had. We had drinks and the bar tender was the best! The only other thing was that the tv didn't work in the room and the towels seemed clean but they appeared permanently stained. Parking was a pain as well so I will not be rebooking here again but not too bad for a last minute trip. Read more

I chose the hotel only because it was cheap and I could walk across the street to the beach. The hotel somewhat made me think that I was going to be in a murder scene. The hotel is old and when we checked into our room there was pieces of trash on the hallway floors (no, it wasn't trash bags from housekeeping). I went for Spring Break so we were only […] in our room to sleep, thankfully. The front desk staff were pleasant. I would recommend the hotel to other Spring Breakers but not to families. Read more

Great location - Ocean Dr. In the heart of the nightlife. The view of the park is nice as well.

We had a double room, with a queen size bed. The room was clean. Cleaning staff very nice. The bathroom was in dire need of upgrading. The bathroom was originally tan tile that had been painted white. ALL the tiled areas and tub were peeling horibly.Pieces of paint were all over the place.Plus a torn shower curtain did not help. The location of the […] hotel is great. Read more

We stayed one night for new years eve, the busiest night of the year probably. The room was tiny, we had 3 people, I couldn't imagine 4 people being in there with nowhere to sit/stand besides the bed. The bathroom was ok, I've seen worse, but they only gave us 2 towels and no hand towels. No fridge or microwave, no phone in the room (never heard of […] such a thing). For 1 night of just sleeping so we could emjoy the nightlife it was fine, and cheapest on Ocean drive which is what attracted us to the hotel in the first place. I wouldn't stay there for an extended stay though. Read more

Was close to everything, the best thing about it was the location. Went to the cavalier oct 21-26 and had a blast! The hotel was on the old side and rooms were a bit small, but the beds were comfy and the showers were hot so it worked out for my sis and I. We only were in the room to sleep and shower, when your in miami, you should be outside anyway! […] This hotel is best for young people (under 35) without children who enjoy nightlife Read more

The best and only part of this hotel that you will like is the location!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The stay was okay except check-out time was 11:00 a.m. instead of 12noon as stated. I didn't like the fact that they charge you 100.00 deposit. Then it takes them 2days to return it to your card. Other than that....I enjoyed myself.

Restaurant service was slow, sheets in the room were old and ragged, last night I was there I woke up with bed bug bites on my arms.

Perfect Location, but its time for a major upgrade!!!! Everythimg needs to be replaced!!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The 11 o[clock checkout is rough. I accidently left my iPOD charging and did not realize it until the next day. I called and was less than satisfied with the effort, supposedly put in to find it. It is an old hotel, in a great area and because of the excellent price that Expedia gave, it was fine....except for no more iPOD. My problem was more associated […] with the staff, than the hotel.

My husband and I spent one night at this hotel and if it weren't for the amazing location, we would have left immediately. Our first room had no hot water, the television was broken, and the bathroom light didn't work. We told the hotel staff and they upgraded us to a suite. It was better except the long blonde hairs in several towels and other dirty […] linen and dingy looking sheets. Since it was only a night, we dealt with it! The best thing was the hotel and our room faced Ocean Drive and the walk to the beach was only a few steps. If they did some serious upgrades and hired a different cleaning crew we would stay again.

This hotel has a great location!!! The place was old and could have used some cosmetic stuff done to it. But the location was great, they gave a free drink, and perfect getaway to have fun. The hall was noisy with people.

General - This hotel is located in the historic district of Miami Beach, so expect to be staying in an older hotel. The rooms are currently being renovated with new paint and new bathrooms. Our room, thank goodness had recently been redone, and I musts say, they did a nice job. New tile in the bathroom, with new sinks, floors, etc were welcoming, while […] the walls also had a fresh coat of paint. The beds were surprisingly comfortable, I was expecting a brick, but was met with a fairly comfortable soft mattress. The sheets and covering on the other hand were terrible. The TV - this thing is a relic! I thought people were joking in past reviews, but they weren't. It is literally a 13" TV VCR combo mounted to the wall. Although older, they do however have an amazing channel selection. All of the rooms come with satellite TV and include many channels. The Air Conditioning - I had read in many other reviews that the air conditioning was broken in the past, well, THEY FIXED IT! and I nearly froze my tail off! Each room has a control in it, but mine did not do anything. Our room was a consistent 65 degrees! Location - This hotel is perfectly located to EVERYTHING! If you want drinks or food, you can fall out of your bed and land within food service. The food served at the hotel was surprisingly good. Typical burgers, steaks, and crab all with regular dinner specials (A bit of advice, almost all of the restaurant offer deals to people if they are not packed with customers. I specifically ate at odd times to get bigger discounts.). The hotel is directly opposite the beach, volley ball courts, and a multitude of other entertainment. The night clubs were the next block over, and the staff helped us find and get into them as well. A perfect hotel if location and price are most important to you. Parking - This is a bit of a negative, but one that I can put on every hotel on the strip. Expect to pay for parking. The hotel offers valet parking per day, but when I pulled up, they Read more

Is located on ocean drive, in walking distance of all restraunts, attraction sites, clubs, shopping, beach and more.... I stay every year because it is agreat price for the location but the staff are rude and bring and they could update it and clean more.. all in all great for the money if your there to party.

I have stayed at the Cavalier before so I knew what I was getting into - literally. This trip was 3 guys in their 40s on a motorcycle trip - so we are willing to put up with a few things others may not be. We had two rooms. Mine was OK but by morning the a/c was not working. I checked for bedbugs and there were none. The other guys shared a room. The […] first room they had smelled strongly like cigarettes - even though we had requested non smoking. They were given another room, but the a/c did not work in that room at all. The reason I stay at the Cavalier is location - it is right across the street from the beach, next door to the parking garage, and right in the heart of the art deco district. The desk staff was very helpful. Love getting the free cocktail on arrival. As far as the room - you get what you pay for. Cavalier is VERY cheap compared to surrounding hotels. The rooms are pretty clean. But don't expect too much. Read more

Very very dirty room, especially bed sheets. No AC in a working condition. Beds were squeaking. Room Furniture is like 100 years old. Location is super great, in the heart of Ocean Drive.

my flight was early...got there around 1230pm to check in and room was not ready...my family stood at another hotel and there room was ready, plus the hotel was better....comes with a free drink coupon, but you have to make sure you tell them or they won't give it to you...room has no alarm clock, bathroom was nasty....otel needs renovation badly...it […] wasn't an uncomfortable stay...if you're on a budget and dont mind a crappy hotel then stay there.....for the price it was ok...i should have not been so cheap and stood at a better hotel, but the location is great....at least they give you towels for the beach....

We paid little money for this hotel and that is what we got from service to the quality of the room. However it is right on the front and we only slept in the room so in that respect perfect. Park you r own car though as parking is only around the corner. Resturant in the lobby is superb though and the reception could take tips on service from these […] guys. Read more

First night was hell: dirty bed sheets with hair everywhere and a run-down bathroom. To add insult to injury, the front desk young-guy stated that our room was recently remodeled. He had no clue [or was playing dumb very well] about the business he was in charge of! Next day a capable front desk young lady was appalled of our experience, so she moved […] us to the real remodeled room and prepared the proper paper work that the previous guy didn’t even mention. The following days it was what is expected from a bargain hotel with an excellent location-location-location! Read more

not good

Genuine Expedia guest review

I wanted an inexpensive stay on South Beach, and I wasn't expecting much else. The room was decent but very outdated, the bathroom was cleaner than expected (but I wish the towels were a little better). The air conditioning worked, small TV on the wall, closet with iron. The basics of a hotel room, but nothing NICE. The condition of the hotel room was […] very mediocre, just enough. BASIC. The location couldn't be any better - right across the street from Lummus Park and the beach. Also, there is a parking garage right around the corner, which came in very handy. So, like I said...DO NOT pay a lot for a stay here....if you are looking for comfort and luxury, go stay at the Loews or the Fountainebleau. This is not the place. But if you are looking for location and will not be in the room much, then The Cavalier is adequate. Read more

I arrive at hotel around 1pm and they let me check in early. It's a very old school shabby hotel with a small front desk with mailbox slots behind it. I went to room and it was old but clean with 2 beds. Unfortunately,there was no phone, iron, and the tv didn't work at all. The bathroom was extremely old with paint pealing from the tub. I went front […] desk and thetold me I wouldn't be able to move until the next day. Next morning I moved to 2nd floor and couldn't believe the difference. Brand new bathroom, phone, iron, hairdryer etc... I assume they're renovating floor by floor. Elevator is broken. Front desk threatened to charge me if I lost the programmable keys. Excellent location. Restaurant on porch is great and I ssaw a celeb eating breakfaast there. Btw, there is a $100 deposit. Read more

Well the elevator was out of service...no sound on the tv...the room phone was broken...but the air conditioning was great...central air-a nice break from those window/wall units. Bathroom was small but clean and well maintained. The hotel is right across the street from the ocean in the heart of South Beach...it works.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I picked the hotel because of it's location but was very dissapointed with the quality of the rooms. They were extremely small and there wasn't room for much. It also did not seem very clean and they could use some remodeling. Rooms that small shouldn't be so expensive in spite of the location.
