I needed two nights in south beach with a wonderful friend. The Clifton Hotel took a couple looks before I realized how perfect it was. Small, quiet, adjacent to a city of Miami Beach parking garage. So very many restaurants, ice cream shops and most importantly only a 3 minutes easy walk to the ocean. A beach access that has a lovely bath house, a lifeguard and a vendor with cold drinks and plenty of chairs, umbrellas & couch cabanas for rent. CIti Bikes to ride on an amazing walking/ bike trail in the shade next to the ocean.
Of course if you want to save some money for any night on the town, The Clifton graciously offers you beach chairs, an umbrella and beach towels gratis!
There is a tour concierge in the lobby that can book every fun thing to do in Miami or just give you good advice on a place to eat.
Your host Mauricio is ready everyday with a smile and the cleaning staff is always busy making things shine.
Security is impressive and we felt very comfortable there.
The room; while small, was all we needed. King size bed, chair LARGE screen tv, ice cold ac and frig/freezer. The bath has a cool glass shower with rain head and hand held sprayer.
Try The Clifton. And while you’re there, try Waymo the driverless Jaguar cab $7 fare to all the great places.
PS: unload and load your luggage at the loading zone at the front door to The Clifton. Enjoy!
