Hotels near Art Deco Welcome Center in Miami

We booked this hotel for 3 nights on Booking.com, where it was advertised as a 4 star hotel. The hotel itself is ok but it is definitely not 4 star. Location is pretty good and is close enough to walk to South Beach and Ocean Drive. The reception area is pleasant enough and the staff were ok (they were a little blunt but we found a lot of people on Miami Beach to be like that). Beware that they take a $100 deposit for the minibar in your room, which should be returned within 5 working days if you don't use it. We only checked out today so I'm hoping this will be the case. The pool was the smallest I've ever seen and always seemed to be in the shade (it's in a quadrangle within the hotel). We never went there and spent the days by the beach instead, which is only a few minutes walk away. The restaurant and bar area looks very nice, but in the 3 days we were there we didn't see one person in there. It was dead! The rooms were of a good size and the beds were comfy. The finish of the rooms wasn't great and definitely not what you'd see in a 4 star hotel, but everything worked just fine. There is a safe in the room but it is not secured to anything, which made it feel a little less safe! The bathroom was fine and had a decent shower. If you're looking for somewhere cheaper close to South Beach and you only plan on showering and sleeping there then I would recommend. However, if you want a 4 star hotel and plan on staying there all day to use the pool and bar/restaurant, I would probably avoid.

Pros - Hotel staff was very friendly and tried to help at all times - Location is convenient: very close to the beach, approx. 7 minutes to walk - The price I got was very cheap for Miami - Room was clean Cons - I didn't use the pool, but it doesn't look like a nice place where you want to spend your day. Go to the beach instead. - Room looked old-fashioned and is possibly 20 years old - Wifi was unstable at peak times - it would be all okay for that price, but the AC unit was *so* loud that it was incredibly hard to sleep, even with earplugs. The AC device looked quite outdated. I asked the concierge if there is a way to get another room, but they said that the AC is the same in all of the rooms. It was one of the loudest AC's I've experienced in my life, so I'd expect the management to look into that matter. I wouldn't recommend the hotel if you want to spend your holidays here.

Axel beach hotel was the best experience I could have asked for. We arrived early, and the hotel staff was immediately so welcoming. They allowed us to check in early and gave us great recommendations for things to do while in Miami. The atmosphere at axel beach hotel is so inclusive. We really enjoyed the facilites that included the bar and pool plus the gym. Also, the hotel is so close to the beach!When I come back to Miami, I will most definitely be staying here again!

The location is excellent. Next door to the people mover, Freedom Tower, a 3-5 minute walk to Kaseya Center and Bayside Marketplace, and 5 minute drive to PortMiami. The location doesn’t get much better for downtown Miami. Checkin was odd and hostile—the employees didn’t seem to accept mobile checkin despite the app pushing it. They almost acted like I was the first person to use it. The room was small but expected, and packed with some cool technology. I appreciated the free welcome drink, aluminum bottled water and tote bag. The bed was horrific. The worst sleep I’ve ever had in a hotel. It was hard as a rock (I like firm mattresses but this took the cake). I barely slept and woke up numb at times. The drawers under the bed also creaked with every movement made. It was awful. Outside noise wasn’t terrible at the 9th floor, just occasional sirens or motors revving. Room was clean, and was exactly what I expected. If you haven’t looked into them, it’s about the size of a cruise ship cabin and the bed takes the entire width of the room. It’s a cool and different concept. I paid the extra $19.95 for breakfast and it was a letdown—literally just three warm items and then granolas. The fresh fruit and pastries weren’t available. I would pass on this and save the money. The hotels vibes and bars were cool, and definitely made up for some of the shortfalls, but for the bed alone I don’t think I’ll be back.

Work and fun bundled with a great location is the best recipe for a working mini vacation. From start to finish, we were greeted with smiles and friendly service. The food at our conference was delicious!!! Every area we visited/used in the facility were clean. Some of the furniture in our rooms was a bit worn, but honestly it is to be expected. We will definitely return and plan to stay a bit longer since it is so close to other places we wanted to see while in Miami.

I’ Don't get Get me wrong this is a really nice hotel but if you're coming to relax and it becomes a little crazy during my nine day stay I had three different rooms the first one was in the courtyard it was very loud especially when the club is going next-door the walls are paper thin so one of the mornings around 3 AM I was woken up by the sound of someone vomiting all night literally for about 2hrs so of course I requested for a new room the second room I was in there about two days and after a long day at the beach i've been sleep for about an hour and I get a knock on my door at about 11 PM telling me that they were having plumbing issues so again I had to pack up my room and move my third roomwas a nice room definitely not an upgrade due to the inconvenience But there were some cons it was in the corner of the hotel right over the club that's playing EDM music all night and then when they're done of course they're cleaning up so all you hear is glasses clinking until about 4 or 5 AM And when I finally checked out all I got was a $50 credit towards my $3000 stay

The staffs serve well and they’re helpful staff. The first night I couldn’t sleep because the air conditioning was too noises, and the second night I could sleep because I switched off the air conditioning. So I suggest that make mosquitoes nets to instead of sealed windows without fresh air, if use the fans to instead of noises air conditioning may be good for both of gusts and hotel(this hotel name is Freeland Hostel) I haven’t been to staying in generator hotel so no opinions for Generator Hotel.

Beautiful hotel with clean spacious rooms. The hotel staff were very friendly upon arrival. However they wouldn’t accommodate an early check in and there was an incident where all of my friends luggage went missing due to the fact that the hotel staff switched rooms for her while we were away. It took over an hour and a half to locate which staff member did the move and where they placed her belongings because there was a shift change and lack of proper communication. Also be aware that the rooms with “private rooftop patio access” are in fact not private and easily accessible from other rooms because we had numerous items stolen such as a purse and Bluetooth speaker. After a night of worry we finally spoke to security in the morning when they arrived only to be told there are cameras all around the hotel but not there and there was nothing they could do except swap out her room.

Everything perfect, the hotel is very nice, the rooms are very spacious. It is located in the center of Coral Talks and with all the services around. The staff is very attentive. 100% recommendable

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!
