I was very hesitant about staying here because the price was just TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE for a Hotel on South Beach. Sometimes pictures that appear on the website are not of the actual hotel. Well to my surprise Everything was as it appeared on line. I was amazed at how beautiful my room was. 7 of us stayed... More

When I saw the locationtion and the curb appeal of this hotel I thought what a great find it was. The beach was across the street and the hotel had a European feel with a courtyard that spilled out to the street incorporating an Italian Restaurant into this setting. We were pleasantly surprised by the large size and ambiance of... More

This was my first time to SoBe so I was very uninformed on where things were located. I wanted to stay on Ocean Dr to possibly get a view of the ocean. This hotel offered a great rate compared to other hotels in the area and a "partial ocean view." That was a lie. The hotel sits back off the... More

In September 2011 we reserved 3 rooms for the Hotel Ocean for a one-night stay on New Year's Eve (12/31/11). We booked through Expedia.com and paid 40% less the hotel's published rate. (I called the hotel directly and gave them an opportunity to match the price but they would not.) Since I had read in advance several reviews on Trip... More

A disclaimer -- I am an attorney and my wife is a text book editor. We tend to be critical by nature. Nevertheless, we could find little if anything to criticize about our stay at the Hotel Ocean. We came into Miami from a cruise ship at 1030 am and took a cab to the hotel. The front desk clerk,... More

I'm not a particularly picky person when it comes to hotels. Location and cleanliness is really all that I care about. But when a stay ends in a call to my credit card fraud center and the BBB of miami, I have a problem! First of all they must have used a magic camera for the hotel photos. It looks... More

Loud. don't stay here if you like quite. The loud music doesn't stop till 2am and promptly starts at 10am. Terrible if you want to go to bed early or take a nap. Probably not good if you have kids. If you plan on staying out late every night shouldn't be an issue. Other than that room was clean and... More

Not sure why this is classed as a 'Hotel'. Whilst the front desk lady was very helpful, that did nothing to make up for the lack of normal hotel amenities. Smells in the rooms, loud music at night, no pool or bar or restaurant. This should be classed as a hostel. We will not be coming again. More

Hotel Ocean was 'Wonderful' to say the least. As with life experiences there's going to be 'Hipcups' no matter what. The staff where very perfessional, in dealing with what ever faults occured. May, the front dest clerk was both, helpful, and courteous at all times. The breakfast, and use of beach chairs, and towels were a plus, allowing us to... More
