This hotel is in a great location, but it is in a major need of an upgrade! It's noisy starting at 10am - 12 am so you can forget about taking a nap or getting some rest before you head out on the town. Make sure you call first to make sure you haven't been "upgraded" to the Breakwater Hotel,... More

I am actually shocked by the negative reviews. I only stay at Hotel Ocean every time I vacation in South Beach and I have been going every year for the past 7 years! I love the hotel's decor, staff, spacious rooms and comfy beds. The rooms are clean as we've never had any issues and each time I've been there... More

When I made the reservation I specifically informed the clerk that I was coming with my family. It was impossible to sleep at night because loudspeakers blast music in the evenings under the room's windows, and then live music takes over. During the day it's impossible to have a nap because there is a construction site a few feet away.... More

My husband and I arrived at our room, and after several attempts to get the key to read (and work) we opened our door to the most disgusting smell. We quickly summised that it was coming from the drains in our bathroom. There was mold growing around the shower tiles and drain. The sink in our bathroom was cracked and... More

My husband and I had a great time here, on our mini vacation. We enjoyed the boutique style hotel and had a great 1 bedroom suite. Ocean Drive is busy 24/7. Not the type of place for a quiet get-away. More

For the price Disappointed. Stayed 2 nights. Room was OK, but Creepy. Room safe was not bolted down. Was told Valet parking would be $30/day. It was 32/day at checkout. and they had issues finding the car. I recommend you park yourself at $20/day lots 1 block away for hotel guests too many Taxes on the bill. Stay in another... More

This was the absolute worst hotel experience of my life! 1) Rooms Have Mold In Them! Beware, The Bathrooms Are Filled With Mold In The Shower. The Air Conditioning Vents Are Also Filled With Mold. The Rooms Stink Of Musty Mold! 2)No Room Service!!!! The maid Will Either Not Clean Your Room / Change Sheets At All or Only After... More

My daughter stayed here 3 nights in April 2012. The hotel was fine for the price, with the exception of the fact that there is only one regular - not -carded - key lock on the door. No double lock and no chain. I felt this was an unsafe situation for a young woman staying alone. In addition there was... More

This hotel is only partly refurbished, leaving the rest quite dingy. I would not recommend staying there as there are nicer places around, with the same price tag. Try Breakwater if you want to stay on Ocean Drive. More
