Hotels near North Shore Park & Youth Center, Miami Beach

The bathroom is well decorated, the room lacks furniture, there is no table and chair, and there is no sofa. It is a bit unreasonable to be a terrace room. I can move two chairs from the terrace to put clothes.

This hotel is well located and affordably priced. We got amazing service from Marcela. There is a continental breakfast included and a little outdoor pool that my husband and 3yo son enjoyed. The poor area has many large iguanas living in it, which were interesting to see. There was a misunderstanding about room type. We booked through Jet Blue Vacations- the room we selected was ”Luxury Double-1 King Bed”... they should fix this as it's contradictory! We got downgraded from a city view to a wall view but we didn't spend much time in the hotel so it didn't matter. There was a questionable-looking bug in the first room we were assigned so Marcela moved us to the next. My biggest concern is that the hotel is rated 4-stars on several sights. It's definitely a solid 3-star: small, old, and pretty run down. We enjoyed it regardless.

We stayed here in 2014 and while it was fine back then, wow was this an improved experience! The property looks amazing and you can really tell how much effort is put into the upkeep, which I’m sure is not easy for a historic building. Also, the staff are amazing-everyone is genuinely welcoming and takes pride in what they do, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy interacting with customers. The food and service were on point and the hotel restaurant Mareva was so delicious we ate there twice for dinner, which we almost never do while on vacation because we want to try different places each night. The pool and beach set up were relaxing and luxurious (except the pool music was a bit too loud for my taste) and yoga classes by the pool were great with an experienced instructor. We will surely be back!

I was going to spend a night in,Miami beach . Low budget in a hostal , coz I would be out doors most of the time . I been in 100 s of hostal travelling all over the world So I didn't read the little letters, coz most hostals are easy peasy chill and flexible I arrive at this hostal at reception , I had paid my booking with PayPal as I always do . They tell me than that there is a 20 $ deposit to be paid on a credit or debit card. I have a Dutch account and debit card from VISA PAY from my birth country but although it is a well known bank in Europe ,and everywhere in Europe it's accepted and even in Mexico and Colombia. It is not accepted in the US. So I could not pay for the deposit , and they would not accept cash, so I had to cancel the reservation and also it was not refundable . To be honest , it was a very basic hostal , with nothing there of great value. Why the deposit anyway , are guests so demolitions in Miami beach ? And shouldnt a hostal or hotel be covered by insurance for damages? Coz I see this over and over in other accommodations only so far in Miami Luxury hotels asking for a 500 $ deposit when staying there? It is mind blowing, I have never been asked for a deposit in my life Also the weirdest thing , they would ask at reception at Bed and Drinks hostal for a return or onwards ticket leaving the country.If you don't have proof of that , your stay will be cancelled For security reasons are they making this stuff up or what?! Bottom line , if they insist on deposits , they should at least have a terminal that accept ALL cards , Miami Is a Multi international city and should have more paying options. Although I still think it's way out of line to ask guests for deposits it is discrimination. It makes me very suspicious, about what is done with all those ” deposits ” money on hold . I hope they don't play around with that on stock markets or cryptocurrency ...... Freedom of speech

Everything was great except that I had to sit at the restaurant table in front of me.

Will definitely be returning to The Ritz Carlton, South Beach. Upon entering the hotel everything seemed super clean and I was greeted with a glass of champagne. I had a fabulous experience at the beach. A few names of the Excellent staff that made the day perfection: Murex, Jacque, Nerlens, Jefferey, and Daril. My group and I were helped to find a great spot on the beach, the food and drinks were amazing. This group of staff checked on my friends and I to make sure all was well. Will hopefully be coming back soon!

2 of us just returned, Fri 8/26, from a 4nt/5day stay @ our fave SoBe Hotel, The Albion!👍👍☺ We were upgraded to a SoBe Jr. King Ste. Rm#317, and it was awesome! Thank you so much GianCarlo once again for your gracious Hospitality & Service as always. Your front desk crew during our stay were all Great as well!

When I say I absolutely loved this place, I loved it this was my first stay all the way from New Jersey for a 5 day stay, I know even know where to start I was checked in by the security that helps around she was so prefect anytime we needed anything she would help or guide us in the right direction. I was so sad I didn’t get to see her my last two nights I wanted to tip her so bad n give her the most appreciative hug☺️But not to mention they have a restaurant downstairs in boy it’s this one person I will never forget unfortunately I didn’t get his name bc we started a conversation about a iguana, yea a laugh lol, an from there all I did is call him my friend 😂 but from the moment to the end he kept me laughing so hard I already miss having lunch there so we can laugh. But I’m gone end here wit when I come back I hope to see the same two people I absolutely wanna thank everyone for making us feel like we where home 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is our second time here at the Loews Miami and we love it! It is convenient location and the private pool and beach is amazing and staff is always checking to make sure guest belong and that gives a safe feeling. We spent evenings at the bar with Tom and other bar staff but Tom is so friendly, funny and welcoming! He is a “gem”. We spent the day on the beach and Tobias was so helpful with setting up our lounge chair and cabana bed. Tobias is very nice and helpful and made us feel welcome! Tobias is a “great asset to your team”. The staff out front were extremely helpful with checking our Uber (matching license plate and verifying driver for us. That special care goes along way and I wish I had the gentleman’s name but it was Saturday night and he was fantastic! I feel very safe here and we’ll taken care of by all staff. We love the Exhale Spa as well. Exceptional staff here and we are planning our next trip back.

Hotel is what you would expect from the chain - cleanliness, comfortable rooms, usual amenities - but the staff are among the best you'll encounter. They were attentive to my needs and provided tremendous help when I left my phone in a taxi. After much effort on their part my phone was returned to me.
