Hotel St. Michel

Very satisfied

we were very pleased in general. They need to tell you that a cont. breakfast is available. We didn't know until we came back from getting breakfast.

Interesting ...!!!

It was a very old "five star" New York style hotel ...crank elevator included. It was very old but quaint. Staff was very friendly ... would stay again for a time back in time experience.

Average hotel but could easily improve

Recently stayed here and I would make the following suggestions: 1- Do away with the in room "basket of fruit" because it is a joke. Giving me 1 ugly apple and 1 orange from the previous guest that wouldn't touch it is just plain silly. Instead, they should have a nice basket full of fruit at the front desk, available to any guest, anytime. 2- Perform a VERY THOROUGH cleaning of all common area carpets, walls, baseboards, handrails and especially the rooms. They need to be properly dusted, some touch up paint, good scrubbing, wash or replace the shower curtains, improve the bedding and the lighting and by God, get rid of those roaches!! 3- Overall, this hotel is really cute with lots of period character and pleasant staff in an excellent location. It just needs a really good and thorough cleaning.

Decent hotel with character

Has charm and character by using antique furniture. Clean room, but definitely needs to update its linens. Great location, but parking is across the street with no valet. Restaurant downstairs was vacant. Continental breakfast only consisted of coffee, OJ, and one kind of muffin. No pay per view. Free wireless internet pretty decent and fast. A/C works wonderfully with Miami heat. Hotel personnel nice and friendly. Overall I had a decent stay, but I wish the parking situation was different but that's Miami for ya!

Hidden gem

The Hotel Place St. Michel is an old-world, service oriented hotel located in a remarkably well-maintained, clean and fully functional Art-Deco building. The location is central, and easily reached from any part of the city including the airport within minutes. This place oozes charm and class. From the fully functional, bellhop-operated Otis elevator (I just had to ride it at least once despite my room being located on the second floor) to the friendly, well-mannered staff. While the adjacent restaurant (Restaurant St. Michel) has been a well known fine dining spot for at least 30 years, it maintains an elegant, yet low key atmosphere that appeals to us mere mortals :). The traveler may also find a number of other restaurants featuring several culinary styles from good old hamburgers and fries (Coral Gables Grill) to Pan-Asian, Italian and of course Latin fare within easy walking distance. Area clubs include anything from cool jazz to funk and rock-n-roll as well as authentic Spanish taverns ("Tablaos") Irish Pubs, and 70's and 80's style discotheques featuring vintage European disco and techno music as well as hot Latin music (This is Miami after all! ;D). All of these attractions are located within a ten-block radius, as is Coral Gables' world-famous "Miracle Mile." Well, if you haven't guessed it yet, I am already looking forward to my NEXT stay! Great place for a romantic getaway!

Good deal for the money

Very old with lots of character.. not too bad for the price. Excellent location, but you have to pay for parking.

Wonderful Surprise

Beauty, charm and elegance that was unexpected when I first booked. Exquisite detail,as I love rich wood, tile antiques. Very much like a trip to Europe. Parking is awkward, however.

Vintage

This is a quaint hotel with all of its 1920s charm....the old style decor was great. Some updates are needed, particularly the bathroom. Overall, it was a nice quiet choice and served the purpose as a 'stopover' location.

Lovely old hotel

I read the reviews prior to booking a room at this hotel so I knew what to expect when I arrived. Yes, the hotel is old, but it is a wonderful reflection of days gone by. The staff was friendly and courteous. The location is fantastic. The hotel was clean and the rooms comfortable. I have already recommended to friends.

Great Antique

If you like antiques and old-style hotels this is the place for you. The bathroom is very modern and looks brand-new, and our room had a flat-screen TV, great AC and other modern amenities despite being in such an old place. Very quiet neighborhood although it is a quick and easy walk to all the restaurants and shops of the "Miracle Mile". The staff at the front desk were exceptionally helpful and friendly.
