Thankfully quick stopover couldn't wait to leave

Where to start, guy with dreadlocks booking us in no customer service from eye rolling to been damn right rude. Carpets in hallways absolutely vile, smell of bleach in our room gave me headache to musky smell everytime ac unit came on. On check out they doubled our resort fees to which we had to go back to get refund. AVOID AT ALL COST

All shabby and no chic!

This place is definitely not a 4 star!!! Far from it!!! The only thing good about this hotel was the location! The whole place is disgusting, from the dirty, rotten carpets- that are heavily stained, throughout the corridors to the awfully unkept bathroom suites, with their horrendously old taps on the shower and the cheap plastic shower curtains. The resort fees are an absolute scam!! Stayed here with our son who is 18 so we were told we couldn’t use the facilities at the clevender, as they’re only for 21 and over- so basically I paid £41 per night ( 3 night stay) for drinking the 2 bottles of water in the room!! We only had our room cleaned once whilst we were there and we had to keep asking for fresh towels!! How can you get away with charging for facilities that we aren’t allowed to use and we didn’t even receive basic housekeeping!! Absolutely dumbfounded how this can be allowed- stayed in way better 3 star hotels!!! Spend your money elsewhere, on somewhere clean and better managed! Being very polite with giving 2 stars- 1 for location and the other for the weather being good

Location and staff are the only good thing

The staff and location is the only good thing about this hotel. The carpet is so dirty and grubby leading you upstairs and towards your room, major need of carpet cleaner. The room itself was very grubby feeling and would benefit from a deep clean and refurb. The plugs felt very dodgy and I gave up trying to use them .the mattress and pillows were good . The bedroom window was very dirty on the outside like it hadn't been cleaned in years . Dodgy nails on floor between bathroom and bedroom . The staff were super nice and the location was superb

Poor experience overall, wouldn’t recommend!

We arrived quite late after a long flight from uk with two other couples. The location was good to visit Art Deco area. We were given rooms behind reception. These rooms were spacious but they were not clean. The toilet barely flushed, lamp didn’t work, curtains didn’t block bright light from outside, the bed cover was a bit of foam between two sheets! Folks on reception started shouting at about five in morning so we got little sleep. Unfortunately had not checked reviews since this was booked by an agent.

Very Accommodating Staff - Historic Hotel

Historical Art Deco Hotel. Cute cozy but not very modern. The Staff is great and accommodating. We originally booked the Clevelander but the music at night (all night) was just too much for us. The management understood and moved us to the Essex House which is directly behind the Clevelander. The room (suite) was nice but the bathroom was very small. The pool access is over at the Clevelander and it is open to the public, not just guests. There is not much for pool lounging options. All that said, it met our needs. We spent most of our time out at the beaches and exploring restaurants and bars.

Avoid Room 303 actually avoid the hotel

What can I say , great position on Miami Beach “thats it”. On arrival the gentleman on the desk with dreadlocks was so rude and unprofessional, to the point I think the drugs he was on were wearing off and wanted a argument or a fight . The rooms are below par , rooms dirty , stains on the beds , air con appalling, leaking pipe work in the room damaging our clothing, laminate floor coming up, room not always serviced over the 5 day stay. The noise from the Clevelander which is next door is unbelievable (music until 4am) . Please avoid unless you like staying in a crack house. Just did not feel safe staying there.

Unresolved maint. Issues.

Went to my room. AC is cranked and it is 60 f in my room. Can not adjust or turn off thermostat Inform staff who says they will fix. Return to room that evening. “Fixing” means disabling the thermostat so it will not turn on or off and will not work Inform staff the next day who says they will fix it. Fixing means you can not adjust or turn off thermostat. The same as it was originally. The staff seems indifferent at best and dull witted. Solution. Check out of hotel. Positives. Very good location.

Great stay

Everyone at The Essex, The Clevelander and Becon Bitch is so nice and friendly. Both hotels are related. All 3 locations are clean and priced right. Our room was nice and clean. Only wish our windows opened for fresh air. Our first interaction was with Christy and Joseph. Great customer service and super helpful! Along with Becon Bitch. Breakfast is free here if stay at one of the hotels mentioned. They are nice and a fun crowd. A must stay and will would do again 😊
