Courtyard By Marriott Miami Beach-South Beach

“Can’t go wrong with the Marriott chain”

Had zero issues, nothing to complain about. The pool hours could have been better, they closed at 8:00 pm. It’s a rooftop pool, would have been a great view of the sunset, so warm and beautiful out at night. Lots of shopping and things to do in the area, seven minute walk to the beach. No onsite… more

Had zero issues, nothing to complain about. The pool hours could have been better, they closed at 8:00 pm. It’s a rooftop pool, would have been a great view of the sunset, so warm and beautiful out at night. Lots of shopping and things to do in the area, seven minute walk to the beach. No onsite parking, the valet moves your car to what I’m assuming is a secure lot. We had no issues. Food on site is expensive but they do give you a $29 voucher as well as two complimentary drinks at the bar. Also, use of two beach chairs at a designated spot on the beach. All in all, great place to stay.

“Not worth the price”

We stayed in this hotel at a nightly rate of $156.21 (excluding tax) in July this month. The location is great, as many reviewers had mentioned.

We stayed in this hotel at a nightly rate of $156.21 (excluding tax) in July this month. The location is great, as many reviewers had mentioned. But the room itself is very basic, and does not live up to the brand. The reception in the evening does not have a receptionist, as the female receptionist kept disappearing into a private office for more than 10 minutes at a time. The room was clean, but not very spacious for the price. The furnitures were old with scratch marks, carpets had crumbs (outside the rooms and in the hallways). I expected more for the price we paid. They charge a $29 per person "destination fee" that is not very well explained. We were also not aware that it was not included in the room fee. So when we had breakfast, it was quite expensive as the $29 also includes service charges. For example, one palm sized turkey muffin will set you back $10 and a latte will be $5. Pretty steep in my opinion. The destination fee does include 2x beach chairs which the reception does not do very well at explaining how to get the actual beach chairs. When you get to the beach, it is a long stretch of sandy coast line with various companies setting up the beach chairs. You will pay a separate fee for the chair and then the umbrella (which you will need as the sun is very very very strong in July). So when we got to South Point beach, we ended up paying another $42 to Royal Palm beach chair people to save on the hassle. There are no bell hoppers, be prepared to pull your own luggage. The automatic door stopped working midway. In summary, mediocre accommodation, save yourself some money and stay somewhere else that is decent.
