I stayed at the Holiday Inn Miami Beach last night. I will say I was pleasantly surprised at the hotel. The lobby was very nice, and the check-in was painless. The elevators did take a little bit longer than most, but I'm not that picky to complain about it. If you're impatient, take the freakin' stairs, right?! When we got... more

Where do we start? Ocean front could be anything a bunch of palm trees in front of your fourth story room with a slight view of the ocean while the palms are moving, is considered ocean front. Front desk service is the worst. Be careful with the elevators you have security waiting for you, saying no more than 6 people... more

Best is it's on the beach, updated, overall friendly staff, and overall clean. Although our oceanview (hid by palm trees) room could have used some vaccuuming and cleaner carpet and some dusting. No balcony room in the entire hotel. If we were staying more than just the one night I would have called in housekeeeping to clean it better. Maybe... more

Wanted to spend a night on Miami Beach, so we picked this Holiday Inn based upon HI reputation, and the price. Check-in was smooth and the room was very comfortable. The big downside in this hotel is the fact that it has only two elevators -- and they are S-L-O-W. And, when both break down at the same time (which... more

My husband and I stayed for 4 nights June 12, 2008. The weather was beautiful, did not rain at all, since we had read about June rains. The room was nice, clean, it can be a little bigger. We had an Oceanview room, windows were sealed closed, wished it had a balcony. Elevators were a little scary, took the stairs... more

To begin.... I loved the price we received! It was wonderful when compared to neighboring hotels. The attendant even gave my husband an additional discount for being a government employee. We found the lobby and reception to be very nice. It was up to date, clean, and nicely decorated. The rooms were the same, minus a questionable "clean". I'm really... more

What a great find right on South Beach. A great hotel. The inside of the hotel reminded me of the 70's with the color scheme. Everything was very clean and neat. Valet parking was not a problem at all. Our room was great (room 535 - oceanfront king). The room was very clean and neat and tidy. We had no... more

My wife and I stayed 4 nights in the Hotel last May. Sure prices are much more affordable than hotels in south beach area, therefore the expectation was low. However, besides the pool and the beach in front, we were disappointed: small room, expensive and worthless breakfast, slow service and terrible elevators. Whether they do not work at all or... more

The hotel is in a great location and our Ocean View room looked out directly on the sea. We went with another couple and had pre-paid for two rooms with King size beds, upon arrival a rude and unhelpful female receptionist told us that only one was available and our friends were given an alternative room. Some of the staff... more
