Great stay, Even Better Truly Remarkable Customer Service!
Pros:

From the moment I arrived, my stay was elevated to something truly exceptional—and that was almost entirely due to the incredible professionalism and kindness of the overnight front desk manager, Kristy.

Travel can be exhausting, especially arriving late at night, but I was immediately put at ease by her warm welcome, attentiveness, and genuine desire to help. What stood out most was not just efficiency, but the level of care. Every question I had was answered thoughtfully, every request handled quickly, and it was all done with a calm, reassuring presence that made me feel like a valued guest rather than just another check-in.

At one point during my stay, I needed assistance outside of what most would consider “normal” expectations—and without hesitation, Kristy went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled seamlessly. That kind of service is rare. It wasn’t just about doing her job—it was about taking pride in creating a great experience.

It’s easy to overlook overnight staff, but Kristy is truly the backbone of outstanding hospitality at this hotel. Her dedication, professionalism, and kindness left a lasting impression on me which is incredibly rare in today’s world where customer service seems like a lost art.

Because of Kristy, I wouldn’t hesitate to return—and I will absolutely be recommending this hotel to others. I sincerely hope the senior level management team realizes how incredibly fortunate they are to have such an extraordinary representative of their establishment, and recognizes her efforts accordingly.

Exceptional service like this genuinely deserves recognition. Thank you for making my stay unforgettable Kristy.

Very loud and disappointing experience
Pros:

The only people who should stay in this hotel are young people looking to party. If you are anyone else, you should keep looking. The biggest issue by far is that there is an all day dance club in the hotel. The music starts about noon time and goes until 2:00 or 3:00 AM. You can absolutely hear it in every room. Even with a noise maker and earplugs, you may still find it bothersome. You simply cannot relax in this hotel unless you want to party to loud music. Ignore the pretty website pictures that show a couple relaxing in the pool. That pool is in the nightclub. We also had a service issue. The day manager was very helpful, empathetic and did make an adjustment to our bill, which we appreciated. But the evening staff was terrible. We needed new bedding, but the night managers showed no urgency or empathy to help us. It took over an hour and a half. It was a really disappointing experience overall. Just avoid this hotel.

Slightly disappointing for all the hype.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The bathroom was basically in the bedroom which made it uncomfortable for 4 guests. The lobby was not impressive considering the hotel is legendary.

Not impressed. Stay somehere else for the amount of $ they charge
Pros:

Not much! Not recommended if you like more than 4 hours of sleep after they finally turn the music off. It was mid week and almost zero people there, yet they kept the music pumping till 5am. For value for money, I'd recommend another hotel.

Cons:

- Room location was immediately adjacent to music/entertainment areas
- No advance warning was provided about the noise situation during booking or check-in
- Room was advertised or described as a "suite" but did not meet suite standards
- Room featured a disabled/accessible bathroom, which may not have been requested or expected
- Overall stay duration was brief (1 night) in Miami Beach. Not recommended for the cost!

Great Staff Very Loud Party Hotel
Pros:

Booked for 6 days Mid-October 2025. The staff was great and accommodating. However, we booked a Rockstar Suite which overlooks the pool. The room was nice and clean but the music was sooooo loud. Wednesday was the earliest the shut the parties down at 2am. The rest of the days were 4am!

We asked to be moved and they accommodated us in another suite at the Essex House, their sister hotel around back. I’ll write a review separately for that.

Overall, we personally wouldn’t choose to stay here again because we are partying until the sun comes up. But the staff were great and the food and drinks at the pool were good.

Prevara
Pros:

Bas nista osim lokacije i plaze

Cons:

Stara soba u sklopu starog jotela.ne vrijedi 50 folara,a ne 300 koliko smo platili.nema frizidera,sefa,kuhala.dobili smo sobu uz nocni klub,a izolacija nikakva. U sobi smo mjerili 80 dB sto je u europi dozvoljena buka u noćnom klubu kojeg sam imao.u ponoc dolaze mijenjati posteljine,a na vratima oznaka ne uznemiravaj.dorucak znaci u obliznjem baru kroasan i kavu.sobe minimalne.uglavnom putujem vec preko 30 godina i ovo mi je mozda najgori smjestaj,a s obzirom da kosta 300 dolara vrijednost koju dobijes za to je cista prevara
