I just returned from a conference held at the Marriott south beach. On arrival we were placed in a tiny room without even a balkony, but unfortunatly we had not booked ocean view. But when we complained we were relocated in a nice ocean view room the next day - that room was also quite small but had such a... more

Stayed for 2 nights at the Marriott, disappointed at the room sizes but really it was the staff who were the biggest disappointment. On arrival (which was early for the 15:00 check in) we were told the room wasn't ready. We went fo a drink in the bar after being assured that our room would be express cleaned to get... more

This by far was one of the best hotels I've stayed in. It was clean, comfortable and made our stay in Miami a memorable on. We were there for Tropical Storm Fay and had to be held up in the hotel for a day for our own safety but we weren't climbing the walls. It would have been even better... more

We chose this hotel because of its write up - on the beach and close to everything that matters - well it is on the beach but if you dont pay the extra for a sea view you might think you are in a budget hotel in the middle of nowhere. We should have known what to expect when we... more

It is a shame that such a beautiful property on a gorgeous beach is so poorly run. Had we planned to stay at the Marriott for more than 2 nights, we would have checked out and gone elsewhere. The front desk staff were rude and dismissive, as if hotel guests were a nuisance. We were told that although we did... more

I had a very good experience at this property. The room had a huge balcony overlooking the city, south beach, and the ocean. The balcony was nearly the size of the room! I requested a room away from the construction, and this request was honored. The bed was quite comfortable. Breakfast was included in the package, and the food at... more

We stayed two weeknights in mid-April and found the hotel to be fine for those seeking comfortable accomodations at the southern end of South Beach. Our room was pretty clean and well-appointed. The bed was comfortable. Check-in and check-out were very easy. We didn't eat at the hotel's signature restaurant, but there are plenty of great restaurants nearby, so I... more
