I usually always stay@ The Mondrian 2 or 3 times a year when I go to SoE but their rate this Jan was too high for my last minute trip so I took a chance and booked a hotel - Sense of South Beach, a hotel I never heard of (I travel a lot) and the risk paid offf. . I stumbled on Sense of South Beach Hotel on Bookit.com. I paid 1/2 the pricefor 3 nnights. Sense than I would have paid at Mondrian.

I Luv Luv Luv Sense South Beach hotel! For the price (they were running 30% off special), it was the same type of style room like Morgans Hotel Group (The Mondrian) - white linens, all glass shower, artsy furniture, cool colorful murual painted on wall). Note: No restaurant or bar in hotel, but who caress b/c everything is 1 or 2 blks away. The Sense just may have replaced The Mondrian as my go-to hotel and here's why. #1. Fantastic staff. Felt like I have know them for years they're so friendly & helpful. #2. Only 18 room hotel so peronal service level is better than conglomorate hotel with 100+ rooms. #3. Beach is 50 steps directly across street on 4th & Ocean. #4. Sennse is in newly upcoming revamped area called "SoFi" (South of 5th) so area is busy, but not too busy like north of 5th Ave. #5. Sense is also 3 blocks from my 2 fav restaurants, Big Pink (awesome turkey burger - gargantuan size patty & yum sweet potato fries!) & also Prime 112 (best food in SoBe, service is awesome, fun, crazy busy & celeb sitings & tons of Bentleys parked in tow). #6. Theres a rooftop pool,which is smaller, but not too small for the size of the hotel. I was @ the beach though & just viewed the pool area. I am already looking to book Sense South Beach agai in April. I can't wait to see the nice friendly staff again!

Great location, we were able to walk everywhere we needed (although the heat is a killer).
Staff at the front desk were helpful, some more than others. The room was great, clean & tidy with plenty of room. Balcony is only small & the ocean view is only just, probably not worth the extra &&

This hotel was everything it said it would be and MORE! They room was so beautiful and very clean! Bathroom stunning! The people that worked there very helpful and friendly!
Would def recommend this to everyone!

I loved everything. The room is modern and cozy, the bed is amazing and the location is perferct!!
