The hype
Travelers love the location and the helpful front desk staff (shoutout to Oscar), but reviews are polarized between 'hidden gem' and 'nightmare' depending on the room condition.
Ocean Spray
$100-250 / đêm
Đặt phòng nếu You want a piece of Art Deco history in Mid-Beach that is currently glowing up from 'budget dive' to 'boutique chic' (and you can snag a renovated room).
Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- Prime Mid-Beach location (quieter than South Beach, walkable to 41st St)
- Historic 1936 Art Deco architecture with original terrazzo floors
- The newly renovated 'Le Particulier' rooms are a massive upgrade
Tóm tắt nhanh: A hotel with a split personality: you'll either get a stunning, freshly renovated room or a musty relic from its budget past—book carefully.
Được đánh giá bởi @AdleighBrisebois1399558: I stayed in the Ocean View Suite and it was a total dream. The retro decor is even cuter in person—especially that teal fridge! It’s the perfect spot if you want a Miami stay that actually has personality and style.

Reality check
The 'old' rooms are notorious for musty smells, thin walls, and worn-out bathrooms, while the 'new' rooms get rave reviews for design and comfort.
- You appreciate authentic Art Deco architecture over cookie-cutter modern builds
- You want to be near the beach but away from the Ocean Drive chaos
- You are booking one of the new 'Premium' or 'Le Particulier' designated rooms
Vệ sinh & Bảo dưỡng

- Housekeeping: Daily housekeeping is standard, but consistency varies. Renovated rooms are reported as spotless; older rooms have complaints of missed dust.
- Bathroom hygiene: The biggest pain point in non-renovated rooms (grout issues, worn fixtures). Renovated bathrooms are pristine with rainfall showers.
- Maintenance: Ongoing. You might see peeling paint in hallways or encounter a slow drain in older rooms.
- Linens & towels: Generally fresh, but check them upon arrival. Some reports of wear in the older inventory.
- Odors & scents: Lobby can smell of the Subway downstairs. Old rooms have had reports of mustiness; new rooms smell fresh/neutral.

Ask for Oscar at the front desk—reviews consistently mention him as the problem-solver who can upgrade you.

Avoid the ground floor Subway smell by asking for a room on a high floor.
5 điều cần biết trước khi bạn đi
💡The 'resort fee' is sometimes waived or non-existent for standard bookings, but the $150 deposit is strictly enforced.
💡The elevator is historic (read: slow and small) and occasionally out of service.
💡There is a 'Subway' sandwich shop in the building which can make the lobby area smell like bread and cold cuts.
💡The rooftop is being developed as part of the new brand, but is currently not a usable amenity for most.
💡You are right next to the 'Faena District'—walk two blocks south to see the golden mammoth skeleton for free.
