Though there are much more chic hotels nearby along Collins Avenue, this hotel has hands down the most comfortable beds. I got everything I wanted from my Clifton experience, according to the price I stayed. It was clean, the staff was helpful, and the location was convenient. If you're a no fuss sort of person, go here. More

We stayed at the Clifton for one night to enjoy the South Beach night life before moving further north to spend the rest of our vacation near Ft. Lauderdale. The Clifton is an older (think 1930s) hotel that was recently remodeled to be a 'green' hotel. The 'green' furniture, lighting and fixtures in the room were real funky--the bed was... More

I love this hotel!! I'm really shocked that people had such a bad time. There are only a few hotels that I stay in when I hang out in Miami Beach, and this is one of my favorites! This is a TRUE South Beach Miami hotel... if you want south beach, you stay in a boutique hotel, if you want... More

The room was small and horribly lit (these are the two good things). The "Included Continental Breakfast" was suddenly not included and consisted of Wal-Mart brand granola bars. The door to our room was just about the only thing that worked...The light above the beds DIDN'T WORK, the iPod dock DIDN'T WORK, the TV DIDN'T WORK and the mini-fridge DIDN'T... More

Stay somewhere else! There are plenty of clean and affordable hotels in the area. This is a 2-star hotel at BEST. The room was booked through a third party vendor for a double occupancy that was never arranged by the Clifton. Our group was told we were booked for a single occupancy room and that they were booked solid. As... More

I booked this hotel through a travel website which was listed as a 4-star hotel, should be a 2 star hotel!!! I almost immediately learned this was an unrefined distortion of one, the staff I perceived to be cut-rate hires in which the hotel could possibly find, as they lack the polish and professionalism you should receive at a REAL...

The service from all staff - especially the two Andrews - was great. The doorman was really helpful with bags and treated us like royalty. The room was welcoming and the soft music playing on the radio and the red hues from the lights were a nice touch. The bed was lower and harder than we were used to but... More

The Clifton is one of four hotels in a chain committed to doing the hotel business with recyclable, energy conscious design....and given its location, appropriately and clearly art deco. The usual hotel info brochure was surprisingly long and very interesting, explaining the materials selected (some produced by local craftsman out of bamboo, etc) and the cooling system and set up...
