Nice hotel close to beach staff very nice.
Posted Jan 17, 2013
Pros: It was far away from all the noise
Cons: Nothing
Location: Not right in the heart but enough stuff near to get what you need then go party.
Only problem was water pressure and temperature but on last day both improved. Think maybe the city was working on the main water line because they were out in the street.

SoBe rocks
Posted Jan 10, 2013
Pros: I have stayed at a couple of other hotels in South Beach and the service has been spotty. Everyone here is very responsive to requests.
Cons: My only complaint would be that some years when requesting a room with 2 beds they aren't available.
Location: Walking distance to tons of restaurants/bars, but in a quieter area. Best of both worlds.
This is my 4th time staying here and the hotel staff is the best. I was surprised to see the same faces year to year as I assumed there would be a high rate of turnover. I love SoBE as it's a little quieter but still close to the action.

Nice Hotel can walk to all bars and shops
Posted Jan 9, 2013
Pros: Everyone was nice to us, The pool was also nice not to big but just right they have two pool so I'm sure you be ok in the pool. Free wifi in the lobby
Cons: bathroom look like they had some mod but nothing big.
Location: Can walk to all the hip bars and more or take a $3-$5 cab drive.
I got to the hotel about 11am and check in is not till 4pm, But they took our bags and told us they will call us as soon as the room was ready we can still use the pool, spa and more. We took a walk to eat and enjoy what the hotels was all about. Our room was ready @ 2pm we did not have to wait till 4pm like other hotels make you do, we also got a nice view!! Thanks to everyone at the Marriott South Beach! I'll be back soon!

fun and college trip
Posted Jan 1, 2013
Pros: Location on the bech and proximity to south beach strip
Cons: Parking took a long time.
we asked thier advice on getting to the American Airlines Stadium and they were way off on how long it would take. Also asked advice on getting to University of Miami and arrived an hour to early. They could really brush up on their knowledge of the city.

Superb location, outstanding facility and staff!

Just completed a fabulous 1 night stay at this hotel, which is in a great location on South Beach. It is just beachfront just South of the park, which means you don't have to deal with the traffic and noise of Ocean Drive, but are steps from everything. Got there about 10am on the day of check in and the front desk staff gave me a key to use the pool, beach access, charging privileges etc. Then they got me into my room before noon, 4 hours plus ahead of stated check in time. The staff was friendly and extremely accomodating, without exception. Unlike many places on Ocean Drive, the valets keep the car in the garage below the hotel so there is never a delay and I was able to access my vehicle within a minute or two. Common areas inside are modern and clean, all you would want and expect. Two pools and a spa outside overlooking the beach, all of which were clean and comfortable. Upscale family crowd while I was there. Rooms are clean and to Marriott standards by my experience. A manager told me room renovations will soon start, though I have no complaints about the room. It was clean, comfortable and not excessively worn. I have stayed at many many places on South Beach and will definitely be coming back here.

Great escape vacation spot

Great view and access to both the beach and the heart of South Beach. The pool and outside dinning areas were a great break from the sun.

At Last...
Posted Jan 11, 2013 on Hotels.com
After several attempts to find a good hotel in South Beach the Marriott seems to fit our bill. The hotel is not trendy or particularly stylish but the room was clean, quiet, the staff attentive and the location is perfect On the downside, the Marriott charges for WiFI which is a little odd. Parking (which all the hotels in South Beach charge for) is a little pricey but very handy.

Awesome staff and location! Needs renovated!
Posted Jan 4, 2013
Pros: The view and staff were great! The restaurant was good, too!
Cons: The old ness and mold in the rooms and bathrooms!!!
Location: South Beach, but south of the crazy area so good for families.
The staff was very nice and helpful! However the rooms need true updating. You can see and smell the mold in the bathroom! The fridge didn't work and was dirty and smelly! Again, needs renovated! The restaurant and staff were awesome! The housekeeper was even super sweet! Could be a five star hotel if they spent some time and money on the propety!

The location is the BEST - on the beach in the QUIET part of South Beach! Beds are very comfortable. Noise from adjoining rooms very low (unless I had nobody next to me . . . which is possible.) Two small quibbles - the "rainfall" style shower heads had very little water pressure and it took two days to get the room phone repaired.
