the staff at the hotel made this a fine stay. Carl was awesome, friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and always asked if there was something else he could do. I booked through Expedia, got a fair rate, when i checked I discovered the AC was not functional for the room I had requested, top floor king with ocean view. Carl made it ok by allowing me to choose from the available rooms. I ended up taking the top floor king with ocean view, it was a spacious room, great views, albeit a tad hot during the day but was ok because it had a ceiling fan, and I was able to leave the door open to the hall which was AC'd. he offered me a free breakfast for the inconvenience. the staff were also accommodating. the hotel is in the heart of south beach, it was thumping but fun throughout my stay.

When I went to check in, the check in system was down, the receptionist didn’t seem to care people were inconvenienced, very laza fair attitude. The room above mine someone was moving all the furniture and stomping in heels most of the night, the floor/ceiling was so thin. The comforter and sheets had stains.

Our room was clean but it smelled like sewage on and off. The breakfast was overpriced for the quality and our server wasn't really hospitable. I like that we had access to lounge chairs on the beach but this hotel left not much to desire for a return.

We went for spring break, worst mistake ever. Had we gone any other time this would be a 10/10 but we didn’t. When we checked in they didn’t even let us know about the valet parking, took us 1 hour and 30 minutes to find parking since everything was closed. I wanted to end our trip on day one honestly cuz of the parking situation. They were able to reimburse us some of the money we spent for parking but not all.

Thank you for your feedback! We apologized but in spring break the city control this area and there is nothing we can do from here due to is for security measures that they closed the street that's why the parking that we work with is located on these time in Collins Av. This is the Heart of South Beach were people used to came for the restaurants and bar around the area so becomes really busy. We hope you can came in other time of the year.Thank youNicole

Dear Blake.Please accept my apologies for the issues that you encountered in Miami Beach.It seems that you booked your reservation during Spring Break and there were more people than usual in the area. The city placed restrictions and there were minimum incidents reported during these days.Your reservation can only be change or updated by contacting Expedia. The hotel did have a room reserved under your name for the day and hope that the issue in Miami Beach does not reflect against the services provided by the hotel. Hope that you will give us another opportunity at a different time.

Waldorf Towers is perfectly located on Ocean Dr in the heart of the historic Art Deco district. Our room was on the second floor directly on Ocean Dr. Incredibly, the room was soundproofed with double paned windows and quiet. Everything was walkable. The staff was very friendly and helpful with an extremely early check-in at 9am for a nominal fee. Having a room that early allowed us to freshen up as we arrived straight from the cruise terminal. The on-premise sidewalk restaurant had incredibly good food. We liked it so much we had both lunch and dinner there. There was a systemic issue on the second floor rooms with AC not working. They contacted a repairman promptly and the issue was resolved within 2 hours. This is a great hotel in a great place. I would definitely recommend it.

Partially, I think I stayed at the wrong time. Staying on South Beach not knowing it was spring break was a bad idea. The staff was alright, I wasnt made aware of the spring break aspect and wasnt made aware that valet was not going to be available. The room was loud, seemed dated. The hotel needed to be updated, very dated. Had to walk about five blocks to get my car. Room keys weren't working that well. Probably wouldn't stay here again.
