Excelente ubicación y vistas al océano ⭐
Pros:

Desde nuestra llegada, el personal nos brindó una atención muy amable y siempre estuvo dispuesto a ayudarnos. La habitación era muy cómoda, amplia y estaba impecablemente limpia. Todos los días realizaban el servicio de aseo, por lo que siempre la encontrábamos en perfectas condiciones.

Uno de los aspectos que más disfrutamos fue el balcón con vista al océano. Desde allí podíamos contemplar el mar y ver los cruceros que salían del puerto, un detalle que hizo nuestra estancia aún más especial.

El hotel también ofrece bicicletas de cortesía por dos horas, una excelente opción para recorrer South Beach. Si deseas utilizarlas por más tiempo, es posible hacerlo pagando un costo adicional.

La ubicación es inmejorable. Está a solo unos pasos de Ocean Drive y del icónico letrero de Miami Beach, además de encontrarse a unos 10 o 12 minutos caminando de South Pointe Park. Esto nos permitió recorrer gran parte de la zona a pie y disfrutar del ambiente de South Beach sin necesidad de usar el carro.

Otro punto a favor es que cuenta con servicio de valet parking, lo que resulta muy práctico para quienes alquilan un vehículo.

En general, fue una estancia muy agradable. La combinación de una excelente atención, habitaciones cómodas y limpias, una ubicación privilegiada y detalles como las bicicletas de cortesía hacen que sea un hotel que recomendamos y al que volveríamos sin dudarlo.

Cons:

Como sugerencia de mejora, recomendaría revisar el funcionamiento del servicio de valet parking. En nuestro caso, el vehículo no fue registrado correctamente en el sistema al momento de entregarlo. Al día siguiente nos querían cobrar nuevamente el parqueadero y, además, tardaron bastante en encontrar nuestro carro, lo que nos ocasionó un retraso importante en nuestros planes. Entendemos que el valet es operado por una empresa externa, pero al ser un servicio asociado al hotel, sería importante supervisarlo para evitar este tipo de inconvenientes a futuros huéspedes.

Cons:

I hope you are doing well.

My name is Michael Franco, and I am writing regarding the security deposits that were charged during my stay at your hotel.

Stay Dates: June 25, 2026 – June 30, 2026
Room Numbers: 633 and 635

At check-in, I was informed that the unused portion of the security deposits would be refunded after my checkout. However, I have not yet received the remaining balance of these deposits.

Could you please check the status of my refunds and let me know when I can expect them to be processed?

If you need any additional information, such as my reservation numbers or any other details about my stay, I would be happy to provide them.

Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Michael Franco

We are coming back Stanton!
Pros:

The location couldn't possibly be more central for the Strip—situated right at the beginning of South Beach, it offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful atmosphere paired with a vibrant, active surrounding area. Getting to the most popular local spots, top-rated restaurants, and the city center is effortlessly easy.

Cons:

The exterior ventilation units can be quite loud, but once you close the windows, the room becomes completely soundproof. While I would gladly stay here again, I would definitely request a room situated further away from the external vents.

Needs some basic improvements to be worth pricing.
Pros:

The location was great. About 10 minutes walk from the famous section of Ocean drive.
Beach access was good.
Valet staff were very friendly
Nice view from the balcony

Cons:

The balcony room was on the 9th floor was nothing special. The balcony was noisy from what I believe was the a/c unit.
The staff were a mix of friendly and indifferent.
I am surprised a hotel of this size doesn’t have a breakfast buffet and instead relies on the bar and Starbucks!
The beach access provides two chairs but you are charged for the umbrella! This is ridiculous. How are you supposed to stay on the beach (in July in our case) without an umbrella?! Also the beach chairs are removed quite early- 5pm i believe.
Gym was ok, but comfortably would fit 3-4 people at a time in my opinion
Overall I think it is overpriced, but i guess this is due to the location

True luxury
Pros:

Vincent and Veral are some of thee finest people I have come across. Marriott has a treasure it’s so hard to find a full luxury experience. Luxury is more that a dollar it is the way you make people feel. Not only were they attentive but kind and gentlemen. The southern hospitality was superb. I will return for sure. I have not felt a sense of completion concerning an experience in a looooong time this was a 100 out of 10. Thank you thank you.

The rooms are well kept, and the room keepers were so kind. Keeping the room clean.

Don’t get me started on the valet team. The tall guy with the gold teeth and frank were sooooo helpful. Not because I asked but they were forward thinking. They knew just what to do. The behavior was not because it’s my job it was because they are kind people. Thank you.

This is one of thee best hotel experiences I have had and I have had a lot all over the world. Thank you.

The location of the hotel is perfect also rather looking to just chill or get into a little something the property is centrally located to give the best of all desires.

The amenities are wonderful the adult size games and pool area I stayed out just taking it all in till the wee hours of the morning.

An honest review
Pros:

Just returned and this is a real honest review.
The hotel is not going to be a flash shiny new hotel with all the glamour of a 5 star hotel in Dubai or similar. It’s an older building on the beach.
The reception area is small and does the job. The staff are always friendly and happy to help.
Concierge was not really there. Someone new started and offered literally no help so we used the internet.
The Pool. Do not be misled by the photos . The two pools are small and when we were there full of little children. We didn’t bother using it.
The beach is a couple of minutes walk and is fantastic albeit there is an issue with sea weed. The whole area and Caribbean is the same. The key thing here is that whilst they give you sun beds on the beach to get an umbrella you need to pay about $40 which over a week adds up . The umbrella should be included if you are paying for a room. I have never seen this anywhere in the world.
The room. The room is nice and simple. It’s clean and tidy and the bathroom is nice and newish. If you look carefully there are signs of wear like on the balcony. But in general I was happy with the room. It was perfect size for 2 people . The only sad part is $8 for water. We just went to the shops and got our own. Or the free refill water in reception.
The restaurants in the hotel were good. The pan Asian is amazing.

Overall it’s a great hotel but don’t expect the glitz and glamor albeit you are paying a lot for the rooms.

The location is fantastic for ocean drive and the beach. You can use the bikes free for two hours which is good.

The staff are really really nice and friendly.

If you manage your expectations you will be fine.

Good hotel for a short stay within beach and pool.
Pros:

Location is great: offers beach and pool possibilities within few minutes walk.
Pool service was excellent.
The hotel is old but clean. The room is big enough for a week stay.

Cons:

Staff was not able to make the people follow pool rules. Diving, splashing water for the sun beds, eating in the water, stones and cups in the pool - everything was allowed.
The same 3 girls spent the week between the yellow coach and the restroom near by. It seems they were waiting for “work”, giving a strange atmosphere to the hotel. Sometimes the same girls were seated on Starbucks also waiting… strange…
At the check in the staff recommended omakase from the restaurant without saying that it is just available in some days of the week. We went there and it was not available.

Thank you again for all your hard work.

Best vacation I’ve ever had in the United States
Pros:

Tynisha and Ranner handled both of out visits so far to the pool deck, and we never felt more relaxed and welcome. They both deserve an award for the amount of hospitality. And the bar service went above and beyond when I did not like the flavor of my drink.

The bellman were Exceptional
Pros:

The bellmen Franky, Jamal, and Cameran were truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, they greeted us with warm, friendly smiles and were incredibly helpful with our luggage. They opened doors for us and even shared useful tips about local eateries around the city since we were without transportation. One of them graciously let us use his personal umbrella. Their kindness made us feel truly welcomed, and we will always be grateful for their generosity and friendly professional gestures.
