location - right on the beach. price - really good compared to everywhere else. good place to get in and get out...stayed for only 1 night. Probably could have stayed for 2 nights, but just to sleep and nothing else. Nice that they have a small fridge (used) and stove (didn't use)...you get what you pay for. parking is horrendous...

After 60+ years in business, the last remaining motel on Collins Ave. in Sunny Isles is closed. I just finished a stay there 4/26 to 4/31 and was informed that as of 5/1/2012 the motel has new owners who plan to demolish the building and put yet another skyscraper condo complex in its place. Now the best place to stay... More

We had reservations there for well over a month in advance, but got a call tonight informing us that the place had been sold to developers and would be closed forever in five short days... (FIVE DAYS, people, and we were flying in from New York!!! ) The new owner (since June '11) appears to possess zero integrity... Not only... More

If you are looking for a decent/cheap place to stay with a friendly staff, this is the place. Nothing fancy about it. Walk to the beach and a nearby liquor/convenient store for small items. Einstein Bagels is about a 20min. walk north. Front counter staff offered us chairs for the beach and even a couple of trays of ice for... More

We stayed here mid-February 2012, a second visit. Inexpensive campy mid-century relic with a pool that's right on the beach, it's great. Friendly staff, good housekeeping. Happy to report the new owner keeps the pool warm (former owner kept the pool heater turned off or way down). Nearby: the beachfront restaurant behind Trump Tower II next door is very good;... More

You get what you pay for. Right on the beach. Staff is nice and helpful. Room was clean. The 4 rooms at the end of the building are the best. Everything is old school, the check in is all hand written. No ice machine but they will give you ice trays from the office. I will stay there again.

Good experience overall. Room is clean, has recently been repainted. It s an old building but when in Miami how much time to you spend in the room ?? I arrived very early. Eventhough check-in was 4pm I was given the 1st room available at 12pm. Pool is heated (nice in january) The motel is right on the beach and... More

Excellent location but difficult access from the road. Parking is a nightmare. Motel is old and needs cosmetic work. Rooms are simple and clean. Very economical and popular. Serve measly continental breakfast. If you are accustomed to a 21st century technologically sophisticated check in and check out system....forget it. Everything done by hand. $20 key deposit required. For one night... More

The palms is an older motel surrounded by "high End" condos. I love the feel and ambiance of the place. This was my forth visit to Ocean Palms and I hope to get back a few more times before the developers inevitably get their hands on it. Being able to walk a couple dozen feet to Haulover Beach from the... More
