Crest Hotel Suites

Quaint, simple accommodations at a reasonable rate. Great location: easy to find, easy to park, and close to symphony center, beach, shopping, and restaurants. .Free wi-fi available, though the speed, at times, was almost too slow to use, which could be a plus, if like me, you are trying to discourage a workaholic spouse from working on vacation.

Hotel was fine, room was clean, bathroom small, front desk person was nice. It was a rainy day so we didn't get to use the pool. Big downside, no parking, there is a lot across the street it costs $30/day... Miami prices! For the money, the room was a good value.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Location was great--easy walking distance to the Miami Convention Center, Filmore, and the restaurants/shops on Lincoln Rd. The rooms themselves were no frills except for wi-fi (i.e., no coffee maker, microwave, or refrigerator). Bathroom was also small/cramped. Some dust and mold, but, overall, given the price and location, it was adequate.

We arrived early from the airport and the young fellow at the counter was very accommodating . Took care of our luggage while we took in the sites. We were able to book an event right away with him . Our room was clean , very close to the shopping area. Maybe a little too close ?! The shopping was amazing !! Very close to restaurants. At night or early […] morning it was nice to sit at the patio with a tea or coffee . Family visiting Miami was able to leave their car at the cheap parking across the road in order to have time with us . We would stay at this hotel again when we visit Miami again. Read more

Just spent one night at this "little gem". Staff were friendly and helpful, held our luggage until the room was ready and offered us different options on the available rooms. Hotel is within walking distance to Lincoln Rd, the beach and basically the fun, social and educational of Miami Beach. Parking is across the street from the hotel. We would return […] again and most certainly recommend it. Only critique would be that the walls are thin and you can hear your neighbor's voice. Read more

My husband and I booked this hotel after seeing a good price for South Beach and convenient location. After reading some of the reviews we were a little hesitant but decided to try it anyways. We found the hotel staff to be quite friendly and helpful and our room was very clean and neat. Everything was spotless, very simple room. It's the perfect hotel […] to spend the day out sightseeing and then come back to sleep at night. Yes sometimes at night it can be a little noisy but it's not awful. There isn't parking onsite but across the street is a pay to park lot that charges $40 for a 24 hour period until 12 the next day and if you want to stay longer, you can pay $20 extra. The location is perfect, a short walk to most amenities including Ocean Dr and the surrounding area. Read more

The location is great. Hotel is straight to the point! Though the hotel can be a bit cleaner. But all in all good place for a quick stay

Genuine Expedia guest review

Good experince and is a great location, very close to the ocean (5 min walk), right next to lincoln road mall and a 10 min walk to ocean drive. Room was tidy, but very small bathroom with no fan, but otherwise a good place to stay and not very spendy.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Location was great, short walk to the beach and Lincoln rd . Restaurant closed for dinner. Lunch was great, breakfast OK for checkout day. Restaurant staff was great. Desk staff could care less, we met four of them and felt like we were bothering them. Check-in with reservations and pre-payed, took 20 minutes.

My 15 year old son & I stayed here for 5 days... The room was clean and cozy & we felt safe. Great location, We were in walking distance from everything. Had breakfast in the hotel restaurant & it was a little pricey for what we got. Only ate there once. We were disappointed with the pool. We never went swimming because It stayed in the shade 99% of […] the day and it's not heated, so the water was freezing! Definitely think the hotel should invest in a pool heater, because it's very disappointing to stay at a hotel thinking you're going to go swimming but can't! Read more

The rooms are very small with just a bed and a bathroom, but practically on Linclon Rd. ATM across the street and a pay parking lot, too. Good for a weekend of gonig to the beack and shops, but not for hanging around in or dining. There is a small pool with no view of anything around. No room service and limited help from the desk clerk.

The Crest Hotel was a great steal. I am very realistic about what I expect whenever I get a bargain, but the Crest--and it's super friendly staff--far exceeded my expectations. The location was great, the room big and clean, and the hotel very nice. I will DEFINiTely stay here again!

My sister and I stayed in the Crest while we were in Miami for a wedding. The hotel was wonderful for us--close to the wonderful restaurants and shopping on South Beach. The 24- hour staff was very helpful, friendly, and gave us reason to feel secure as travelers. The restaurant was good and convenient, just downstairs. Since we stayed 5 nights, we […] especially enjoyed the full kitchenette. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

This had to be one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. We booked a superior double room, with two double beds at the Crest Hotel Suites as part of a package through Expedia. There were four girls on the reservation and we had requested a room that would indeed accommodate four people. When we arrived they provided us a superior single room […] as they phrased it which contained one double bed and a couch. There was no closet in the room. Upon entering the room we complained that there was only one bed, but unfortunately all they had left was a single room. We asked if we could have a cot or something but unfortunately they were all out of cots and again could not accommodate us. He assured us that the next morning there were a number of other guests leaving the hotel and that they would indeed be able to move us into a double room. We called down to the desk in the morning and we were told again there were no double rooms available. Finally the front desk called the manager, and relayed the message that the manager said they could not accommodate us so they cancelled the rest of our reservation and we had to be out by noon. Talk about customer service, and apparently we are the idiots for ignoring the fact that this happened to others and was in other reviews. Don't stay here! Read more

The location of this hotel is great. Close to the beach and public transportation if needed. Restaurants are in abundance. The hotel room was clean and inviting. I was also impressed with the bathroom. The hotel staff are friendly and very helpful, they made my stay very pleasant. My only two complaints are that, one, the food in the small cafe is VERY […] pricey and the bottles of water provided should be complimentary. In general my stay at Crest Suites was a pleasant one.

The location is great, 5 minutes away from beach and Lincoln road and still is quiet and you can enjoy your stay. Hygiene in the hotel is in high level. All the employee are always pleased to help you. I had a really good experience and that is why I warmly recommend this hotel. The price is also really good.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Loved the vintage look that this city has preserved in gems like this one. The desk help directed me to the local bus for 25¢ and held my bags for me until I could check in when I was early. The cafe served yummy food. I truly felt like I was on vacation. The room was perfect for a traveler who doesn't like spending their time hanging out in their hotel. […] Meaning, a bed bathroom and place to put your clothes will suffice. Will definitely recommend and or stay again! Read more

By this being my first time to Miami I was very pleased. The Crest hotel was clean and cozy, which is a key factor for me when out of town. Most of all the price for this hotel was very reasonable for my four day stay. The location is awesome. Your literally in walking distance of the Lincoln shopping strip, restaurants, popular night clubs and the […] beach. I will definitely recommend this hotel to others who wish to visit Miami and will book this hotel again when I return. Read more

Relaxing and nice for a short stay! Close to the beach and restaurants!

Genuine Expedia guest review

The most important thing about Crest Hotel is that it is clean. It had the smallest bathroom and the very smallest shower I have ever seen--I barely fit, and I am not a large person, and forget about shelves or racks in the shower. The water in the sink came out very close to the back of the basin, so it was a little hard to use. I was a little nervous, […] too, about having only a physical key rather than an electronic one and no safe in room, but I didn't have a problem. It also had the oldest iron I'd ever seen in a hotel, without a spigot to add water for steam cleaning. But cleanliness and affordability were most important to me, and they were provided. The location was also phenomenal, a short walk from the beach and right by the Lincoln Road pedestrian mall. Read more

For a hotelroom in this prizeclass everything was really perfekt. The bathroom is terribly small, but I was alone. I missed someboby to help me with my luggage, but for that I would have had to change in another categorie of hotel. (Evenso somebody did help me!) No possibility to get a town map or to get a look into one from the hotel. So you should […] have one when you arrive. But you find a good bed with superb, soft and comfortable linnen, many good towels and the little breakfast in the small room was perfekt, the hot chocolate great and the stuff very friendly. The interior decoration is modern, simpel but very well done. Next time I would choose again a suite in the 2nd or third floor. Read more

The only good thing about this hotel was its location. I was disappointed with the front desk service, the lady was never freindly. The rooms had a bad smell and the drainage and sewerage needs upgrading. There were numerous complains from other guests over the period of my stay. The self catering rooms are along a alley where all the dumpsters are […] kept. Parking at $30 per day is something that you can factor in when considering other hotels in the area if it is free.

Set a block away from the hustle and bustle of Ocen drive which is a plus. Great rooms, close to beach and a block away from the Ritz and Lowes. Nice little pool to relax at if you feel the need for some quiet time. Great stay! Booking it in 2013 for next years Wine and Food Fest!

This hotel provided great value for the cost. I was attending a meeting at a bigger hotel a few blocks away and chose this one to save money.

The hotel is a coupe of blocks from Lincoln Road and the beach. The walls are super thin so you will hear everything going on around you. There is a bus stop that is a block away where you can catch a bus for $2.00 to get to downtown. Another bus stop 2 blocks can get you to the airport for $2.35 and take about 35 minutes. When I checked in the clerk […] told me there were no buses to either place and that I needed to take taxis.

This hotel is great if you want to be close to the beach without spending your whole vacation budget on a hotel. It's a 2-block walk to the beach, where you can rent beach chairs and umbrellas from any of the fancy hotels. Also a 2-block walk to Lincoln Ave, which is full of restaurants, bars, and shops. Great location. Only knock i had is that we […] were in a room on the south side of the hotel, which was right next to an alley way, where there seemed to be 10 minutes of garbage collecting at around 7 am every other day. It was very noisy and if possible, see if you can get a room on the north side of the hotel. Also the pool is nothing fancy - it's right on the street and is pretty small. But you're a two block walk to the beach so it shouldn't be a deal breaker. Read more

Oh where do I begin on how awful Crest Suites were? First off, the girl who check us in had a massive attitude, and the valet took forever (whereas across the street there's a public parking lot that is just as safe, and will cost the same amount, and you won't have to waste your day waiting for the impossibly slow valet at Crest). Then, after I waited […] for 1/2 hour to have my car parked - which I didn't want to leave because it was double parked on a very busy road - I went to my room. They gave us a room with one bed, although I had paid for a room with two double beds. Once again, I had to wait and see if they had the room which we had paid for. After a few minutes, I was moved up a floor to a room that was easily 90*. Fair enough, it's Miami and they weren't expecting us, but man does that suck to get out of a long car ride to a sweltering hot room. It's a bit far from the South Beach action - about 15 blocks. But it is in the heart of a lot of shopping, etc. That being said, it is incredibly noisy. Now, as far as the actual room - the beds are covered in plastic or something? They squeak every time people move (which is not fun for a room of ladies). And, they're pretty uncomfortable to boot. Also, in our room the maid had only put one roll of 1/2 empty toilet paper in it... needless to say, I discovered this at 4 AM and had a lovely visit with the front desk, again. Oh, and the shower was dangerous - my friend accidentally cut herself on the drain because it was in disrepair. Let me add, the elevator certificate was 7 months expired to get us up to our room. When we checked out, the rude girl at the beginning had told me that retrieving my car from valet in the morning would take about 5-10 minutes. I'm glad I decided to go early because the next rude man who checked us out told me, "Always 15 minutes." It was 15 minutes, and yet another stressful moment. Again, another rude person at the desk. Left a really great impression of me. Overall, I would say i Read more

As the title says the room was infested with ants and the hotel was full and they would not give me another room. Not fun to wake up with ants crawling on your bed and body.... You decide if you want to stay here, many positives, but ants and probably bedbugs too is not a good thing.

The hotel was conveniently situated in South Beach (SoBe). The room was spacious with a king bed that was comfortable. The beding was nice. The flat screen TV was awesome. Minuses: The door was keyed instead of the standard hotel swipe card. No inroom safe for valuables. We had a few ants in the bathroom. Our towel setup was somewhat lacking.

The hotel is in an excelent neighbourhood. Two blocks from Lincoln Road and a couple more from ocean drive. The Room was good and clean, bathroom OK. The breakfast is in a small room, not enough space for everyone, and is charged appart. They DO NOT have a parking lot, if you plan to go by car, they will charge you 30 USD per day, or you can park just […] across the street (we paid 25 USD per day). Another thing that bother me: they do not have a system capable to find out your reservation only with your name, you have to bring with you the confirmation page. I've made 2 different reservations, the first one did well, the second one they simply couldn't find, even with the entire confirmation page of the HOTELS.COM. Other than that, it was worth it.
