Independent Downtown Miami hotels

"The hotel room felt very European which I loved. The overall design was to be efficient and they succeeded! There is no front desk but staff where available to assist if necessary as the check in and checkout was touchscreen. The process was easy! The room was very clean and the staff were friendly and provided extra towels. The hotel offered a large quiet area to catch up on emails and to do a bit of work. Very convenient as Bayfront and Kaseya Center across the street!!!!! An easy Uber ride to South Beach."

"Everything was great! Nice staff, complimentary upgraded room. Only thing , the bar/restaurant weren’t accessible. But in a good centralized location! No complaints"

"No working hotel phone , no hot water, the sink wasn’t draining , the blind cord was broken , the light was flickering , no microwave not worth the price at all "

"We came to Miami for an overnight to see Lady Gaga Mayhem Ball. We arrived during a blinding rainstorm to find the lobby of the hotel SRO. They have a strict 11am check-out and 4pm check-in policy. As the rain stopped some folks headed out. We and 7 other parties hoping for early check-in remained in the lobby. Two were families with young children and the rest—like me—were elderly. We sat all day. At 3:30pm some airline stewards came in and were given rooms. At that point—several of us stormed the front desk with one man screaming at the manager—a stone faced young woman. We were able to check-in—shower and have our dinner before the show. The room itself was fine—it was small but comfortable for our needs. Surely they could have prepared seven rooms for those of us sitting in the lobby. We did not feel welcome as a result. "

"Great scenic location in port area on the river. Shuttle service offered to cruise port for small fee.There was a nice breakfast with many choices hot and cold. The staff was very nice and welcoming. Walking distance to mall area for shopping / eating. My only issue was the extremely loud party boats on the river at all hours (spring break) which is not the hotels fault. "

"Unfortunately I had to switch rooms when I arrived because something black covered the molding in the bathtub. There was also a clicking noise coming from the vents. The vending machine on my floor was not working, and the hallway walls needed to be painted due to scratched off paint. Lastly, my linen on my bed was stained when they switched me to a new room. Although the physical condition of the hotel was not great, the staff were very welcoming and kind. "

"My first stayed was for 2 nights only, then I decide to add one more, so I tried to make the check out through the room phone, and it was not working at all, so I had to go in person, and later in the afternoon I found the housekeeper in front of my room asking me why I’m on the room?… so there was no communication between the staff about the transaction, I felt so disappointed cause she was looking at me like I was lying. "

"Hotel is visibly dirty, you have to be to get "

"The free breakfast was sorely lacking in variety The pool was closed a couple of times but there is too much construction going on to really enjoy it "
