“Better than expected”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012 via mobile

people found this review helpful

I was expecting a horrible hotel based on reviews, but I was not disappointed. This Hotel is located right in front of the beach and in the middle of a lot of good restaurants and bars. I will tell you that this hotel is not for anyone that is expecting luxury, great service or tranquility.  This hotel is located where the party scene is at and you must come with that in mind.  The lobby is in the bar. Checking in was fast. They do require a $100 deposit that you get back when you check out. 

The room: it is small, but comfortable. You have a fridge, microwave, iron and blow dryer. The view is of other buildings, so don't expect ocean view. The bed was comfortable. It was firm, but I slept like a rock. The walls are paper thin and if you are a light sleeper, this may not be for you. The room was clean and no bugs were noted.  The elevator is small and takes forever, taking the stairs is faster. 

The beach: it's clean and plenty of space. We went in Feb and it was a little chilly and would have been better if it were warmer. The temperature did go up into the low 70s, but the wind chill felt like in the 60s

Tips: food and drinks are expensive. We spent $95 on a sandwich, fries, avocado salad, calamari and two alcoholic beverages for lunch. 

You can go to a the Corner store and buy drinks and snacks for cheaper. 

A taxi cab from Miami international to her hotel is $33. Cheaper than the $22/ person super shuttle.

“Not so pleasant”

We stayed at this hotel for two nights during Christmas after our Caribbean cruise. The location is nice, but we'd really tried hard to look for parking spots on the streets. The hotel is old and the maintenance is poor. The whole room, especially the bathroom didn't have a feel of cleanness. If this is the standard for a budget hotel on Miami beach, I would seriously consider spending more money on a clean and comfortable stay next time!!

“Really filthy Hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

person found this review helpful

One of the most disgusting hotel I have ever been. Rooms are distributed to customers without being cleaned. At our first night, we had to beg the staff to clean at least the bathroom that was filthy, full of hair and you could see the dirt everywhere... Unfortunately I did not think about taking pictures to show how on earth they can call this disgusting place an hotel.

“Relaxing Holiday Vacation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

This hotel is in a prime location. The room is simple, but tasteful. The staff was very courteous. The only suggestion is to give yourself extra time for valet since the vehicles are parked pretty far away.

“Dont expect much as a college student, but wow was that disgusting!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011

people found this review helpful

Me and a buddy of mine (early 20's) went to south beach just looking for a place to sleep. We were not going to be in the room at all, so we booked the cheap starlite hotel. Pictures looked decent and the location was good. We did not expect much at all, since we never stay at hotels and always go on the low end of hotels/motels.

When we arrived at in the room, we were greeted by a 3 inch long cockroach scuttling along the floor. The biggest cockroach i have ever seen in my life, looked like a praying mantis.

Next, we check the bed sheets and find blood splattered all over the sheets, indicating the presence of bed bugs. We both got nauseous, and wanted to get the hell out of there before we vomited. We could not sleep with bedbugs and cockroaches!!!

The management at the hotel was shady, they said they never saw any bedbugs, and that the cockroaches "fly in through the windows" and that there is nothing they can do. All they offered was a cheap upgrade to ocean view, but i did not want to stay in a hotel with these bugs present. Finally after calling hotels.com for 2 hours, they gave us a refund and we got a better hotel for free with a $100 credit. STAY AWAY!!
