The hotel staff was very rude, unprofessional and authorized an excessive amount ($2000) on my credit card for incidentals without advising me at checkout. The hotel is in need of upgrades in the rooms and at the guest services desk. I would not recommend this hotel at anyone. South Beach has many other hotels that offer better service and better...

This is a small hotel without a lot of bells and whistles which is part of what makes it an affordable option for a place right on the beach with an ocean view room. Our room was large, light and airy with pretty breezy curtains and nice terrazzo floors. It was clean too. South Beach is a major party area,... More

This hotel is in a great location, but it is in a major need of an upgrade! It's noisy starting at 10am - 12 am so you can forget about taking a nap or getting some rest before you head out on the town. Make sure you call first to make sure you haven't been "upgraded" to the Breakwater Hotel,... More

I am actually shocked by the negative reviews. I only stay at Hotel Ocean every time I vacation in South Beach and I have been going every year for the past 7 years! I love the hotel's decor, staff, spacious rooms and comfy beds. The rooms are clean as we've never had any issues and each time I've been there... More

When I made the reservation I specifically informed the clerk that I was coming with my family. It was impossible to sleep at night because loudspeakers blast music in the evenings under the room's windows, and then live music takes over. During the day it's impossible to have a nap because there is a construction site a few feet away.... More

My husband and I arrived at our room, and after several attempts to get the key to read (and work) we opened our door to the most disgusting smell. We quickly summised that it was coming from the drains in our bathroom. There was mold growing around the shower tiles and drain. The sink in our bathroom was cracked and... More

My husband and I had a great time here, on our mini vacation. We enjoyed the boutique style hotel and had a great 1 bedroom suite. Ocean Drive is busy 24/7. Not the type of place for a quiet get-away.

My daughter stayed here 3 nights in April 2012. The hotel was fine for the price, with the exception of the fact that there is only one regular - not -carded - key lock on the door. No double lock and no chain. I felt this was an unsafe situation for a young woman staying alone. In addition there was... More
