My wife and I enjoy boutique hotels. The Betsy is one of the best. It's very convenient to everything SoBe. We ate breakfast at the hotel daily, had a late lunch beside the pool one day, and ate dinner our last evening. Every one of the meals was very good. The rooms are small but the decor is great. The next time we might try to upgrade the room. The staff is very service-oriented and friendly. We liked that the hotel was dog friendly. The daily musicians playing in the lobby was awesome and relaxing. The hotel bar was very inviting. We would definitely choose The Betsy again.

This was my first stay at The Betsy and I cant wait to return! The hotel is located in a great location on the quiet end of Ocean Ave. The building is well maintained with a ton of thought put into everything. The library is beautiful and a great place to relax or catch up on work. The restaurant located on the main floor has delicious food and a great ambiance. I highly recommend dinner there! Staff always try to go above and beyond. Special thanks to Fritz and Mario for making us feel so welcomed. The cleaning staff were also very thorough and welcoming whenever we encountered them. Every elevator and hallway had a fresh pleasant smell. If the beach isn't your scene, the roof top pool is a great place to relax, drink and catch some sun. The bartenderand pool staff there are also very lovely. I highly recommend staying at The Betsy!

We went for a girls weekend and were really excited to stay at the Betsy. Unfortunately we were let down. Does not feel like a 4 star hotel - more like a 3 star. There are no amenities except for the pool. The rooms are super tight, the walls are very thin and the beds are uncomfortable. They made many mistakes during the stay for which the manager apologized at the end of our stay. Great location though.

Travelled with family
Disliked: Amenities
Liked the location and proximity of the hotel to the beach. We enjoyed the hotel pool on the top floor. Unfortunately, there were a variety of areas that did not meet our expectations. Getting someone to answer at the front desk was nearly impossible. When we asked for our room to be cleaned they only restocked the towels and made the beds. Accessing our room was VERY challenging each day. From the main lobby you take the elevator to the 3rd floor, get off and follow a maze until you find another elevator, you take that elevator down to the first floor. It was not convenient or enjoyable to do this every time. We also had less than desirable service at the restaurant for breakfast and slow and inaccurate service at the roof top pool. While the pool and beach were wonderful, we would not stay there again.

The atmosphere of The Betsy is the best I have ever experienced. Starting with the friendly caring staff (esp. Fritz, Juan, Julio) - our every need and question was answered and tended to. The interior design is gorgeous and inviting. An easy class and elegance. The lobby and bar with pianist playing is so lovely, one may never want to explore the rest of South Beach. Food is excellent. Resident dogs make the vibe so familial. You truly could spend an entire weekend appreciating the fabulous art on the walls throughout the hotel. Location steps from the beach and slightly away from the hub bub of late night partyers, but close enough to join in and then stroll home. Pricey like the rest of South Beach.
