Pros:

Very close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Walkable. They also cleaned the room everyday if we asked which was nice. Small breakfast 8:00-12:00 at the lobby from Dunkin’ Donuts was also nice.

Pros:

It is close to Lincoln Rd, everything is close by. Parking being the biggest issue in the area, complementary parking was a big advantage.

Pros:

The building was very unique , we stayed with kids and they were so excited to check all the statues every time we enter to the lobby . The elevator was very slow , hotel is old but clean . Loved the morning donuts and coffee . Very close to everything but also not noisy . Will go back there again :)

A wonderful stay here at the James. The room was clean, the bathroom was clean. The decor and architecture was an added eclectic touch. And as others have mentioned, the free parking was great.

Pros:

The staffs are rude. It seemed that they are annoyed with something. I travelled with a baby and they started to comment even when the baby just touched at something. Always saying that if break you have to pay.
Also at the time of check out, there was a big box with little garbage in it. I threw some trash items in it and the receptionist started to yell. I told him that i thought it to be a dustbin, thats why threw here. But he was not listening to me and was in his own zone. The only plus thing at this hotel is the parking and secondly its close to miami beach. I guess thats the biggest advantage of staying in this hotel. Over all good experience and i would request the receptionist to be little polite to their guests. Thanks.!

Pros:

We enjoyed our stay here but the property could definitely use some maintenance. The value of its location, price and free parking outweighed its maintenance issues so we would stay again if we’re in the area.

Pros:

The room and property was as shown in the pictures. The bed was comfy. The blankets a bit outdated but goes with the theme/history of the aged hotel. Newly renovated, good a/c, free WiFi, and lots of channels for television watchers. The place was clean and in a very convenient location to shopping, the beach, the Fillmore Theater and the Convention Center. I would absolutely stay again.

Pros:

This is somewhat of a hidden gem in South Beach. It is an old property, the front desk even had old-school mailboxes for each room and you have a real physical key. Art deco, unique vibe. Very affordable for the area, on site free parking, 2 blocks from the beach, and walk to shopping and entertainment.
