This hotel is historic,and I understand that however thus hotel is infested with termites if that's what they were. I had to be moved into 3 different rooms within 30 minutes because they kept appearing until the moved us to a completely different room. The manager was nice enough to upgrade the room and take 50 dollars off of that... More

Spend one night at The Clay Hotel before our cruise out of Maimi and had the worst sleep ever - very noisy as the clubs don't close down until after 3:00. The beds were very, very uncomfortable and the room was bathroom were tiny. I felt dirty there and kept socks on at all times as the carpet has seen... More

My boyfriend and I stayed in Miami in late April 2012 and LOVED every minute! The price of this hotel was just what we wanted, the location could not be better, we walked everywhere...Five Guys, shops, tattoo places, Regal theatres, corner stores, the beach. I researched ratings and prices for months and The Clay kept popping up. I went with... More

First of all the pic the guy posted of the bed bug bites on his arm made me laugh. Those are sand flea bites. He must have been at the beach. It goes away in a day. This hotel is the best price and location for south beach. On beautiful Espanola way and Washington ave. I live in miami beach... More

It you want to save your money for the amazing restaurants and bars of Miami, then stay here! I can't believe what a deal it is. Yes, it is very bar bones. And no, it's not the more gorgeous place you'll stay. But the beds are comfy, the staff are incredible and you're no more than a 5 min stumble... More

4 of us stayed at the hotel for 2 nights. Hotel has nice decor and it's right above the restaurant. We booked rooms without bathroom to save some pennies and we were expecting a common bathroom shared with other guests. We were pleasantly suprised when given adjustment rooms with one bathroom to share which was perfect. Hotel doesn't have any... More

We stayed in winter, weather was balmy and warm. Love the beautiful paintings in the corridors. we had a standard room but it... More

Great hotel on South beach, for great price. Close to the beach, close to Lincoln road in very nice and charming area, called Espanola way. Room is spacious, nice new bathroom, free internet, housekeeping every day, polite staff... Great experience, recommended for sure!

We stayed in a room with two double beds and it looked like it had just been renovated. For the price we were really surprised and pleased! The location is great, within walking distance to everything we wanted to see, the staff were extremely friendly and the rooms were clean and newly done up. We thought it was a great... More
