Continental Downtown Bayside - Port of Miami

wasn't horrible but most likely would stay somewhere else next time.

the lady at the desk was not friendly at all. our room was small but clean. beds are hard and uncomfortable. great view of the bay. location was very convenient for us. great shops across the street. we only stayed one night before a cruise, but probably would be worth spending a little extra to stay somewhere nicer.

Do not stay here!

The room we were given was very ran down...Old looking furniture and broken down bed. The room was so filthy you wouldn't want to touch anything. I had to go buy Lysol and spray everything down. We found an old chicken wing under one of the beds...Gross!...the sheets on the beds weren't even fitted, just layed there, unlike the normal undersheets with elastic fittings on the corners. I was bit by a bed bug also. This was the absolute worst hotel I've ever encountered. I even over heard another party complaining about the state of their room. Needless to say they were very upset and said they would report on Expedia where they booked it. However, the proximity to downtown Miami was great. Parking is expensive as well, $15 per day, and you must retrieve your car by 11:45 pm if you plan on going out, otherwise it's locked in the parking garage. Don't waste your time at this hotel, trust me.

Basic needs - good location - great price

Well used furniture needs replacing but this hotel is definitely trying to come back with freshly painted walls. Basic bed, shower etc. Views from windows of room were great of the port of Miami. Ask for a room on the higher floors for best view. Convenient to shopping and restaurants as well as less than quarter mile to the water. Room was clean but basic...not luxury so if you are a princess, foggetaboutit. How much time do you spend in the room anyway?

This hotel is great for one night or two. THIS IS NOT A 5 STAR HOTEL! you get what you pay for. Me and my girlfriend stayed there two night before we went on our cruise. I priced out most of the hotels in the port area and south beach and it was the cheapest, considering it was memorial weekend. If your going to Miami on a small buget, this is the place. LAKERS!

The worst hotel I've ever stayed in...

This is a horrible hotel - I was even afraid to lay in the bed. Not to mention the hotel services was even worst. This hotel has 300 room, but 20 irons - I requested an iron on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and I finally went to purchase an iron. Terrible Terrible Terrible. Extremely poor condition!!!!!

Awful Hotel

The only thing this place has going for them is the location. I should have know better when all the surrounding hotels were booked and I easily secured 2 nts at this location. It was a filthy, disgusting place staffed by rude people. I was also overwhelmed by the late night rowdiness in the rooms, elevators, lobby areas by the overwhelming number of "street walkers." If that is the time of action you are looking for then this is your place to stay.

The location was great! The bed was worn, lumpy and crooked. No vending machines in hotel.

We thought it would be fine but what a bad way to start a vacation!

I had read previous reviews and thought that this hotel might be sketchy but as a newly married couple I thought we are poor and might as well try it out since it was cheap. But we wouldn't recommend it!!! We were only going to stay for a few hours of rest. The hotel is really old, but the worst part was the sheets seemed really old and you could see through to the bed. Neither me or my husband got any sleep. The bed was SUPER hard and it was SAGGY too what a HORRIBLE combination. The ventilation was really noisy and so that didn't make sleeping any easier. The only good thing was that a CVS was being built right next door with 24 hour service so that would be convenient and the shuttle to the cruise port was $5 a person.

Hated it

First and formost, you have to pay $15 for parking. Also the first room that was given to me had no electricity, then in the other room i found out later after being there for a couple of hours that there was no hot water. It was a mess, you can't pay me to visited that hotel again. I ended up spendind the rest of my weekend at different hotel.

Great location for the price. Clean but run-down,secure but pay parking.

needs improvement

For the money we paid and the location we got, I guess I shoudn't have been surprised by the condition of the hotel. The rooms, at the very least, need a coat of paint. The view was great, as was the location to the port for our cruise. I can't believe it hasn't been torn down and a new high rise put there.

Needs Help !

The hotel is old and run down..... the rooms are outdated , our mattress must have been a 100 years old ..the springs were broken....when I went to use the hair dryer it was broken ,the maintance man gave me a key to the room next door so I could use the blow dryer. The title floor in the elevator was broken. I was very upset by the time we left this place..
