Checked in for a 2 night stay March 2012 and was nicely surprised. Valet is across the street but they brought all of our bags in immediately. My miniature pinscher Ms. Moneypenny also felt right at home. Spacious rooms with modern living area and kitchen made it easy to enjoy an in room martini. Mp escaped into the dining room... More

My initial reaction to this hotel was positive. Yes, it is a little quirky that you enter through the restaurant, but the location is great (close to Delano, Shore Club, etc) and on a quiet street. While the entrance to the hotel area is a little dark and a tad grungy (a trend that continues throughout), the room itself is... More

We got a suit for just over 120/night, which was good, the room was clean and lots of space. It was handy to have a small kitchen and sitting area. The shower was clean and everything worked. It was somewhat strange the set up of the hotel, all the doors to the hall way are glass so it doesn't feel... More

We went down to SOBE for a girls trip, thinking that we'd get a bargain hotel for the low price. We arrived to find a swanky boutique hotel that offered us a spacious clean suite. Only a block away from the beach and two blocks from shopping, what a perfect location. I went down to get breakfast, and wanted to... More

We stayed at the The Sanctuary Feb. 19 - 21, 2012. It faired as well as all the negative reviews that I had read. We had "the room" (or one of many) with the broken bathroom door handle. The location was awesome. The absolute worse thing was the odor! The whole place stunk. I thought it was a sewar smell... More

I went with a group of friends and family to South Beach. We initially stayed at the Richmond and then my husband and I extended our stay and for the remainder of the days we stayed at the Sanctuary. This is a newly renovated property. The room itself was great. We had a small kitchenette which had a beverage fridge... More

Small hotel good value, one block away from main street Colin's ave. less noisy as a result. Dinner at the restaurant was expensive and portions small. Staff were friendly and helpful, rooms are modern and spacious. Appreciated the free breakfast. I woul go back to this hotel.

This newly-renovated property in South Beach is absolutely gorgeous. The guest rooms are comfortable and the staff is great. A quick walk from Lincoln Road and Washington Avenue; it was perfect for a quick weekend getaway. The only complaint I had was a very strong sulfuric smell in the shower. Other than that it was fantastic!

When it comes to booking a hotel, I'm incredibly picky. I like something that is quaint, close to the action, clean, safe, reasonably priced and comfortable. It's a tall order, to say the least.I found it all in this hotel. The service is absolutely impeccable, and the property is gorgeous. My boyfriend and I kept asking when we were going... More

Thanks for the great feedback Megan. Our location, while slightly off the beaten path allows for a peaceful night sleep yet a block away from the buzz of South Beach. Being that your a local I hope we see your sooner than later for another get a away weekend. All the best, Oscar More
