I put up a guest for the night. they are very unorganized. rude. there was a problem with billing on phone for ever trying to solve it. I would never recommend anyone staying there again. there are may too many great places to stay in south beach why put up bad customer service.

Check in was quick, efficient and friendly. Room had sea view and was confortable but in need of some care and attention. Pool area clean and fairly busy and adjacent to the beach. Within easy walking distance of restaurants along Ocean drive. Not many guests were present during our stay and dining rooms and bar quiet but even so the... More

Stayed at the Marriott Hilton as part of our honeymoon. Check in was quick and efficient and we were upgraded to a room with a balcony with a view (although the view was of a wall!). Hotel also kindly sent up strawberries and champagne for our celebration. Pool area ok but busy at times. Room is old and needs modernisation,... More

$35.00 a night to check your car is absurb but $14.95 a night for internet is an insult. Our room is nice, the view from our city view room is nice and we can actually see the Ocean. Our sliding glass door wouldn't work and they fixed it quickly. The bed is comfortable as is the bedding. Nice work area... More

First I will say the location is good and the view from the balcony was fabulous, lobby/lounge nice but the room itself needed MUCH improvement - was not at all "spacious" or "modern" as was mentioned in other reviews. (we travel regularly so have plenty to compare to). It was on a high floor but very small and crowded and... More

I only stayed one night on a recent business trip but I was very impressed with this Marriott and will definitely be back. My room had a great beach and ocean view from the balcony. The room was fairly standard Marriott , just a bit more modern and newer than average. Reception was efficient and polite. The valet parking was... More

I stayed for a business trip but thought it would be nice to stay at South Beach. The Marriott South Beach offered all the comforts and amenities you expect from Marriott hotels. I loved the convenience of the Starbucks attached to the hotel. The service was good and the rooms clean. It is a good location - right on the... More

I stayed here one night for work. The rooms were nice and spacious and all appeared to have balconies with ocean view. Although the hotel is on a great stretch of beach, the hotel seemed pretty dead. Granted, it was a Tuesday during off-season, but the streets just north of the hotel were bumping with activity. The hotel restaurant and... More
