Hotels Near Playa Miami Beach in Miami Beach

Worst hotel experience I've had in my entire life. Please don't stay here, it's not worth it at all! 1. The hotel is right next door to a nightclub that blasts aggressive EDM from 10pm to 7:30am, even on weekdays (I stayed here on a Wednesday). I wore heavy duty earplugs, a pillow over my head, and took sleeping pills, and I still wasn't able to fall asleep due to the thumping music that vibrated the whole room. There is no one at the front desk to help, and no one picks up the hotel phone line after hours. 2. On the rare occasion that someone is at the front desk, they are extremely rude and unhelpful. The morning after the nightmarish stay, I went down to ask the manger (Sam) to change my room due to reason 1. He just shook his head, told me to suck it up because I had already paid for my unrefundable stay, and that there was nothing he could do. He said all the rooms were full. When I showed him that there was still availability when I checked online, he said that those rooms were even louder than my room, so I'll be even more unhappy there. Whenever I offered more solutions, he would interrupt me and shake his head and tell me to suck it up. I almost had a panic attack out of frustration, shock at the poor customer service, and lack of sleep. If I were to collapse, he probably would have just told my corpse to suck it up. 3. The room itself was fine, nothing special, solid 2 or 3 star quality. However when we walked in we were overwhelmed by a strong, chemical-y, lemon smell. I'm guessing this was because the rooms aren't properly cleaned and are instead sprayed with cheap Febreze. The smell gave us a headache, so we had to leave immediately and open the windows while we were gone. When we came back, we tried to turn on the AC but it didn't work. We called the front desk but no one was there at 9pm. We had to just suck it up, as Sam would have said.

Very basic but not bad. The room was very large and just like the pictures but shows some wear around the edges. It was clean but I stayed three nights and they never serviced the room. Some of the staff was very nice and helpful. Hotel offers breakfast served in the President I guess for all three hotels (Penguin, President, President Villa). Having it included was nice but ... the vat of scrambled eggs was always cold. I was there a few minutes after it opened one day and still at best luke warm. Cold toast. Pieces of fruit ... not fruit salad. I did not try but there was a vat of yogurt and cold cereal. Juices and coffee. There's a bar in the President and a porch you can use plus an outdoor siting area. The price was very competitive especially with breakfast included and two bottles of water per day. Would I stay there again? Maybe. If I was in Miami Beach and looking for a hotel I would consider it based on price, etc.

We had a (pink) deluxe king room (275 sq/ft) and it was wonderful! We were not in the main building, but we’re a short walk away in the complex. There was a kind porter to help with luggage. The size was just fine for us, and we had plenty of room to store luggage under the bed or on the side of the room. The shower pressure was fantastic and the in room amenities were a wonderful touch. There is a coffee maker in the room with mini bar/fridge. No microwave. Room service breakfast (for a fee) was delicious, and the house coffee was fruity, chocolatey and delectable. Lighting was on the darker side, but people might be forgetting to turn on an overhead light on the ceiling fan. You can do this on the wall switch top button. The furnishings were modern, classy and opulent in the room and in the hotel. I truly felt like I was in the pages of a magazine, but it did not feel stuffy or pretentious at all. Staff were wonderful and helpful. After reading reviews, we brought ear plugs just in case, and we definitely used them. Noise is an issue (hence 4 stars), but if you are prepared for this, it’s not a shock. The hotel is in a fantastic, lively area with great restaurants and shopping, but it can get loud at night on the weekends. Prepare for this, and it won’t be an issue. You are charged for extras you may not use, but we greatly enjoyed the stay even when not taking advantage of the extras. We will definitely be back!

A package sent from eBay was stolen! They received some of my packages at the front desk a few days before my stay, they gave me some of them but one that the post office delivered, they didn't have it, it was lost, it was stolen or they gave it to another guest and they never took care of it . I lost money and the hotel didn't even apologize. It's a shame because the staff's attention is good but no one knew how to deal with the matter, the manager never showed up after repeated requests. Regarding the rooms, they are old, they need renovation, the carpet is disgusting to step on barefoot. The hall is nice, it's a shame they don't offer a decent breakfast, just a thermos with coffee and they have a restaurant incorporated into the hotel.

All good, I spent two nights. It is very well located, the staff is correct. I had no problems! I was just passing through

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.

Our service at the beach was wonderful! Alejandra was an excellent server. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. They have great lounge chairs and umbrellas. You can rent larger lounge chairs and cabanas for the day, too. It was easy to access the beach directly from the Fontainebleau property.

The biggest advantage is that parking is convenient. There is a small dedicated parking lot across the road from the hotel. There are plenty of parking spaces. It costs 18 US dollars per day. The hotel itself is not big. Most of the rooms face both sides. You can only see the walls of other hotels. The windows cannot be opened. The room is a bit damp and the air is not very good. Please be cautious about this. Walking through the corridor on the first floor, you will find a small bar at the end, which then leads to the hotel swimming pool and beach. There are still fewer people than South Beach. In summary, the biggest advantage is that parking is convenient, the location is good, and the room itself is a place to sleep.

Had a horrible experience a couple of blocks away at some trashy place… But not only was this hotel the exact opposite of that, but they ACTUALLY got me in the vacation mood right back again. Luis the manager was nothing but a knowledgeable young man of the area and his hospitality is what got me to give this a shot. 10/10

Location and staff was excellent. Checked in and out was hassle free. Room was clean, parking was ok with option of parking at the back in the hotel private parking or on the right side of the hotel on a road hat looks safe. This road also runs between McDonalds and the hotel. My only issue was having to pull bags/suitcase upstairs to second floor. If you’re traveling with luggages try and secure a ground floor. Shuttle 24hrs on the hour from hotel to Airport. Yes I would stay again but on the ground floor.
