This property is okay, our particular experience was not the best as our the room key scanner to our room stopped working our second day there and from that day on we had to get staff at the front desk to open the room for us every time - one time waiting 20 minutes for someone to let us in which was very inconvenient. Taps in the bathroom were very loose and twisted around and around which was odd, the closet with the safe, hangers & mini fridge did not close. Other than the unrefined room furnishings, the daily room service was good (came very early though, at 9am) and the location can’t be beat if you’re looking to be close to the south beach action. They had chairs and towels to take to the beach for free. I’d inspect the chairs before you leave as on more than 1 occasion we were given a broken/non functioning chair. They do hold your luggage for you. I’d say 3/5 stars maximum for this hotel.

Expedia had this property as a free breakfast which it was it was not. We had to switch rooms because of the air conditioning quit working and we were not comped for the inconvenience. Door on bathroom had privacy issues. No one to help with luggage. It was in a great location for beach and kept very clean.

The hotel staff were great to work with in accommodating our request to move to a room farther away from the center courtyard which host live singers and dancer each evening until 11 pm-ish. For those looking to party late into the night, it would be a good option as it in the central section of SoBe entertainment strip. For those how like to call it any early night, there be more appropriate options elsewhere. It does have a great view of the beach and ocean.

I read reviews that this hotel was in an area outside of the noisy part of South Beach so I decided to try it out. The staff not only let me check in early but upgraded my room to a room with a view of the ocean. I enjoyed riding the hotel bikes for a couple of hours that afternoon. I quickly learned that night that ocean view rooms are likely the worst rooms due to NOISE. The restaurant next door had a live performer until 11 pm and then transitioned into a hookah bar with music playing until 2am!! The music resumed at 8am the following morning so if you only want to sleep from 2-8am check this hotel out. Otherwise, if you'd like a quieter experience I'd book a hotel on the north side of South Beach.

Pros. Remodeled. Big tv. Comfy bed. Large room. Cons. Original windows offer little sound protection. Sunday nite stay had lounge singer til 11pm. Either that or someone was lancing a boil on a cat. The bar has 50 dollar drinks we heard. A water was 9 dollars. A soda was 6. With service charge it was 19 dollars. Wow. That's a little greedy

Perfect spot for staying in the Art Deco area of Miami/South Beach. King room was spacious, clean, and simple. Bed was so comfortable. Only negative was the loud music from Ocean Dr. Until 2 am but we expected that. Definitely not the place to stay if you’re looking for a quiet retreat to relax and unwind. This is in the middle of all the fun and nightlife!!! Stay here to have fun and explore South Beach. Helpful hint: park in the municipal parking garage one block north. It’s only $20 for overnight.

I stayed at Hotel Ocean two times in the last month! I re-booked for for my second stay because the stay was so great the first time! Pino at the front desk is very friendly and accommodating! Barbara, the manager, is out front to greet everyone and is very sweet and fun! Kendry is a charming and great waiter as well. It is in a perfect and safe location. Beach is across the street, shopping is all around, a nice mall area walking distance away! I will stay here anytime I am in Miami!

My husband and I stayed in a modern superior room. Our room was very nice and clean. The bed was soooo comfortable. The shower was amazing. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The maid service was top notch. For being in Miami it was very quiet. Beach towels and chairs were included in our stay along with free waters, coffee, and use of their sister pools just 2 buildings away. The location was better than we imagined. It is right next to a parking garage that only charges $20/day and within a 2 minutes walking distance from the former Versace mansion. Which was a major plus for us because we wanted to make sure we went there on this trip. When in Miami, I will only be staying here. We really enjoyed our stay and made some very unforgettable memories. Thank you for such a great experience!!
