We loved this hotel ! In the perfect location, and the front desk (Luis was SOOO accomodating) would 100% come back ! The rooms are spacious too :) the neighborhod is calm and beach is not far at all!

Luis and staff were very nice, we had great check in experience.
I am not pleased: the constant text on the check out date, not enough chairs by the pool, pool is too small and not enough lighting in the room. Also, $48 to valet park and $45 resort fee.

Evening was great. I just wish our balcony wasnt facing the alley.

The room was nice, comfortable and spacious. The elevator did not work and we had to get our luggage through the stairs that was inconvenience.
5.0
Service was wonderful. Room was everything we expected. We used the bikes that work smooth. The only negative was you could hear sirens at night but I think that’s just part of being in Miami. Put in ear plugs and you’ll be fine. All essentials are close by and the beach is about a 5-7min walk.

This is a really cool property. Nice staff, cool decor, clean, comfortable place. We would definitely stay here again. Staff were friendly and accommodating. If I had any negative comment, it would be that we arrived at about noon. The front desk told us that our room was ready, but there was a charge if we wanted to get our room -- because check in is at 4. It worked out, because we had a nice, late lunch at a place the front desk guy recommended (which was great) -- and walked down to hte beach. Also, there is an extra charge if you're not out of the room by 11 AM. Their bar was nice -- Brandon, the bartender was friendly and skilled. But again, they added a gratuity (which was less than what I would have given him if the gratuity had not been forced on me). I should say that he told me the gratuity had been added when he handed me the check -- so it wasn't an attempt to sneak in a gratuity and then make the guest think that it hadn't been added. we would definitely stay here again.

The bathroom was disgusting. Hair from previous guests was left in the shower, hair was on the wall and all over bath towels. I requested the bathroom be cleaned and it never happened they just dropped of hair free bath towels.

We had some issues but they were handled well. Jesu’s was professional and friendly and took care of everything. Hotel is showing its age but location worked well for us and is in a quieter area and the “mini Bar “ on premises but not run by the hotel was a great experience!

Love the hotel but the Hotel room was load on the street and smelled like swear for entire stay.
2.0
No service at all at this hotel. You have to ask for everything one by one, and the elevator out of order half of the time.

Front desk customer service was great! Luis was very friendly and accommodating for us. Answered all our questions. All the employees were nice. Pool is very very small and only 4 or 5 lounge chairs. No gym. Elevator was out for 2 days which was inconvenient out of our 4 day stay. Also room seemed very bare and empty not much in it.
1.0
The only good thing about the hotel was its location and nice service at the cafeteria. The room was very small, dark, depressing, the pool is very small and shallow, don't expect to swim there. The elevator didn't work for the whole stay. To be fair we were helped to bring our luggage to the third floor where our room was at check-in, but we had to carry it ourselves down when checking out. They have a standard cafeteria at the reception, pretty pricy, but very nice and friendly lady, who serviced us there. Overall, price/quality rate is very bad, it's way below my expectations and I doubt I'll come back there.

Cute boutique hotel close to the beach
4.0
The hotel is a bare minimum. The only one elevator was broken and you could only use the stairs. Bathroom still had dirty towels on the back of the door from the previous guests. There was 1 ounce of shower gel left. The guest internet didn't work. They did help me get on the hotels internet. I will never stay here again.

My fiance and I had a cruise but there were no flights early morning before our cruise so we flew in the night before. The Meridian Hotel is a cute little boutique hotel with amazing service and amenities. There was a DJ playing at the connecting club and a breakfast bar in the lobby. It was also economical for a quick stay! We have no complaints.
8.0
The hotel is located between the beach and a major road artery. The area is safe around the hotel. There is shopping nearby and a grocery store.
The floor at the hotel was creaking. Perhaps this is an older building and the person occupying the floor above me seemed to be more noisy with his footsteps than you would normally hear at night.

The rooms and facility are so great and we had a great time. The staff were so helpful even before our stay and the site is very pretty. Would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is in a great location. The hotel is understaffed as it takes a long time to check in, retrieve valet or request for towels and no one ever answers the phone from the front desk. When you do finally get someone they are very nice. In addition, the VIP benefits offered from Hotels.com during booking were not applied or offered.

The staff was friendly and the hotel is ok. Premises was clean other than a hair found on a bath towel. No bugs. Room is very simple. Musty smell in the hotel rooms and mattress was too firm.
2.0
Strictly average hotel. Good location and hard to find parking near by. Better for 2 people vs a family of 4. No room service of any kind and no cleaning offered daily either.

This place was perfect. The staff was exceptional. This is nowy fave spot to stay.
3.0
The location is great. The internet works. Otherwise, not a great hotel experience. Not worth the money (and it is utterly laughable that someone rated this as an “upscale 4 star hotel”).
Ignore the “we apologise your stay didn’t meet your expectations” nonsense that will inevitably follow my review.
Here’s the lowdown:
1. The walls are paper thin. You can hear everyone above and below you, and to both sides.
2. The guy in the room next to me got locked INSIDE his bathroom. The workmen spent the next hour banging and shaking the entire hotel trying to fix the problem.
3. They do not do daily housekeeping. You have to “schedule” housekeeping at the front desk. There’s often a huge line (10+ minutes). If you call the front desk, they put you on hold for ever with annoying crackly music. And when you do finally get to speak with someone, they then tell you they’ll come “anytime between 12 and 5” - so you have no idea when they’ll actually come. This is supposedly a four star hotel and you have to spend 15 minutes each day to schedule housekeeping as if they’re doing you a favor. Can you imagine doing that at a Hilton?
4. The bath towels. They’re literally laughable. Two tiny hand towels. They’re basically flannels. Literally - you’ll actually laugh out loud.
5. The bed. It sags in the middle. It’s creaky when you move. It feels cheap. Like it’s gonna break at any moment (i’m 180lbs).
6. The “desk”. Is tiny. If you want to work remotely here - good luck.

Do not stay here!!! The location is not as good as I thought. It’s a 20 minute walk from most of the South Beach core. The walls are paper thin and you will be disturbed by the attached bar, other guests, or hotel staff. This is basically a certainty. The parking lot is 5 blocks from the hotel and takes 8 minutes to walk to. The staff is rude and unhelpful. The place is generally run down and those pictures you see on Expedia are professionally shot to make it look much nicer than it actually is. Finally, WATCH YOUR BILL as the staff/management like to play loose with various charges (which I have had to successfully dispute with my credit card company). Just do yourself a huge favour and stay elsewhere.

Great hotel! Location is very convenient. Parking really expensive though. We liked the extras like beach beds and rental bikes
4.0
I would not recommend staying here but it’s not horrible. I was expecting more from the photos and description online. Staff at the desk range from pleasant to downright rude. Clearly not everyone should work in hospitality. It’s located on very busy 5th street which if your room faces it the nights are a noisy from traffic and there is little to no soundproofing, my upstairs neighbor sounded like a heard of elephants traversing the Savana.
The best thing about this place is the truly exceptional coffee and home made baked goods served in the mornings from their onsite cafe. The girls at the counter there are marvelous as well.
The room had small weird glitches: many outlets didn’t charge my electronics I had to use the outlet in the bathroom and one way up on the side of the wall near the ceiling. If my upstairs neighbor took a shower the ceiling in my shower would leak afterwards through the light fixture which is creepy.
The worst possible thing did happen which was after checking in they charge you a service fee and out a hold on your card. My credit card was swiped ( normally I use Apple Pay for most purchases but was not given the option to did so my card was just inserted by the staff member). During my stay I was informed of several fraudulent charges on my account and I attributed them to the hotel not having a secure system. I never once used that card in during my stay except when checking into the hotel. So beware if staying here.

We were first greeted by an older gentleman who was not nice in the least.
We had an AC that kept showing an error message and we were told was fixed but kept getting an error message and was never fixed.
The room had no art on the walls except for a small 8x11 photo and our balcony was missing a divider wall so it was open to the guests next door.
We asked for 2 luggage racks and were told by the grumpy front desk man they’d bring us whatever they had. Eventually we got 2 but every request always seemed to merit an initial No or maybe. Your in hospitality why not be hospitable?
The only saving grace we’re the lovely women running the cafe and Luis C at the front desk.

I lost my phone before arriving and they accommodated my needs to have a wake up call, call a taxi etc. which I could not do without my phone.
A great location to be walking distance from South Beach.
