Beacon Hotel Miami Beach Florida FL. Best Hotel Deals & Reviews

Date of Stay: July, 2009

Initially, I was shocked at the appearance of the hotel. The online photo was somewhat exaggerated. The rooms are small but, keep in mind this hotel has been renovated and was originally built in 1937. I enjoyed the fact that we were right in the mist of everything but, once you retreated to your room there was no noise to be heard. The bathrooms are extremely small as well--only one person at a time. The beds were comfortable. Overall the hotel was nice and the staff was very accomodating.

King size bed was very comfortable. Location was great. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly. It wasn't all that noisy considering the area. The location was great for shopping and beach access. The only complaint that we had is that we left an expensive pair of brand new sunglasses (still in the box) there when we checked out and they never made it to lost and found.

We stayed here April 9-11, 2009. We had an ocean view room which was very spacious, the bathroom was upgraded and very clean (rain shower, Aveda bath products), the bed was super comfortable and was a king size, great LCD tv, mints on your pillows, the works! We really enjoyed our stay at the Beacon, the staff were also very helpful. It was a bit expensive ($* USD / night) but I'm pretty sure you get what you pay for in South Beach. Before booking a hotel in South beach, I must have read reviews about a hundred other hotels, and most people complained about noise. Well, the Beacon hotel is right in the middle of the South Beach strip, and our room was facing the street and the ocean, and we didn't hear a thing! We slept like babies! I would highly recommend booking the Beacon if you plan on visiting South beach :) Also, you get a free continental breakfast from Johnny Rockets right next store :)

Stayed overnight recently before catching a cruise ship to the Western Caribbean. Our first time to Miami and we didn't know what to expect since the area is advertised as being a throwback to the 'art deco' era, whatever that is. While an older style hotel it was completely clean and comfortable. We stayed in the VIP suite as for some unexplained reason our reserved Ocean View room wasn't available. And the upgrade was free. What a pleasant way to start a vacation! The hotel staff was wonderful, offering help at every turn whether it was taking care of our bags (because we arrived before check in time) or hailing us a cab. And it is located right in the middle of so many fine restaurants. The neon lit hotel fronts are really a sight at night too. We plan on going back when we can stay for a few days. Overall we can't say enough about what a wonderful stay we had at the Beacon Hotel.

The Beacon Hotel was very convenient in the sense that it was in the heart of South Beach! You had the beach across from you and restaurants and entertainment right down the block from the hotel. I really enjoyed my stay and my boyfriend and I can't wait to go back!

Chairs and towels for beach. Hallway had a cleaning fluid smell at all times. Location is great and staff are super friendly and helpful. For the price we were very satisfied.

This stay was a disaster. Travelwebsite charged me twice the regular rate. The initial rate was there when I first looked. Up when I booked. Back down several days later. Well after the 24 hour "guarantee". Front desk staff was unfriendly. I mean downright snobby and unaccommodating. Room was filthy. Cold stone floors that were sticky and dirty. Made sure to wear shoes at all times. Walk to room (located at the front of the hotel) was on uneven floors, through another door and up some more steps. Hard for my mother to navigate. Asked for extra chair in room. No response. No information in room about features. No TV listing. No info about setting cooler unit. The room information was all on a sheet that I signed and the desk took back. Nothing in room even said what the breakfast hours were. Beach chairs and floats in closet had sand and vomit on them. Sand all over closet. Room floor wasn't even swept on our second day. Trash in halls. No bar holds for bathtub. Safety latch on door was broken off. Definitely did not feel safe in room. Only lobby is on mezzanine with no windows. Room listed as "Ocean View". No ocean in sight. Worst experience ever on South Beach. Also worst travelwebsite experience ever. They lost me on this one.

The hotel and room was very clean and welcoming. The only down side to the room is the bathroom because it's very tiny(as long as you don't like hangout in a bathroom, you should be good). The rooms have beach towels & beach chairs for you to use on your stay, which was really nice to have and not have to purchase. The staff(front desk, bartenders, valet, cleaning crew) was very friendly and made us feel like they went out of their way to make sure we were enjoying our trip/stay. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant(I'm sorry but I can't remember the name, it's somehting like "Revendous"). Our meal was exceptional. The service was on point and the food was probably one of the best meals we have had in a long time, everything was good perfect and flavored wonderfully. We would stay here again and again. You will be happy with your stay.

It`s the best deal for the location - right on Ocean Dr., where everything happens! It`s a simple hotel, but clean and with a very nice crew. Great deal!!!

Location was great! Room was clean. Restaurant was expensive and upscale- didn't eat there wanted something more causal.

My husband and I had an excellent experience staying at the Beacon. It's location is perfectly situated within walking distance of anything you cold want or need. The beach is right in front and gorgeous. The decor is classic Art Deco and the rooms tasteful. The beds are very comfortable and the sheets are luxurious. Most important were the people that worked there. They were not only professional but warm, friendly and couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. I highly recommend Beacon Hotel and will definitely return.

My 18 yr old daughter and I stayed at The Beacon on a graduation trip. We found it to be extremely clean and comfortable. The staff was more than accomodating, providing us with fresh beach towels and recommendations on restaurants. The beds were soft and comfortable, the bathroom spotless (although small), the large screen TV was appreciated. The small fitness center is air conditioned. The business center has 4 computers with free Internet available all the time. The hotel is centrally located on the beach and easily within walking distance of shopping and restaurants. I requested a quiet room away from street noise and did not hear a thing all night (on the third floor). I will definitely stay at The Beacon on my next trip to South Beach and highly recommend it.

My significant other and I decided to take a vacay to MIA for 4 days. The beacon hotel is pretty nice; good service, clean rooms. The bathroom is a bit small though. The location is great! It is located right across from the beach and right next to Johnny Rockets!

updated rooms, very friendly staff, right on Ocean Drive 10+ blocks from good shopping Both rooms we booked were updated and very comfortable. The bed was comfortable, tile floors were nice, and there was a flat screen TV. The bathroom was small, but also had been updated, so it felt clean and comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was also pretty good (always a good bonus!)

Overall my stay was good. The only problem was the parking/valet service. The valet service is not employed by the hotel. They solicit folks to use their service for parking in South Beach. The small area in the front of thge hotel was normally full of cars to be parked with no space for a hotel customer to pull up or get out of a taxi without holding up major traffic. The hotel should provide prioity service to their customers.

The room was clean and neat ,the staff was extremley friendly and called us by name whenever they saw us!the Bartender G remembered what we like to drink and chatted it up whenever we saw him. The wait staff out front are very kind and nice to all. The front desk is always staffed and everyone behind it is there for YOU and make it 100% clear that they will do whatever it takes to make youre stay comfortable.accross the street from the beach...what more could you ask!If I had to say something bad I couldnt!I highly recomend this hotel it is in an awesome location ,resteraunts and fun are everywhere within a 2 minute stroll. the Breakfast is offered through Johnny Rockets which is right next door and it is a home cooked diner style meal ,its just what you need after a night of partying until almost 4 a.m. ...some clubs OPEN at 11 p.m. what a place south beach, Go and enjoy and without a doubt YES STAY HERE THE BEACON IS A SOBE CHARM.you always see it on t.v. shows of Miami in the background....you will not be sorry if you stay at this hotel!!!!!!!!!!!

Having just gotten off a 7-day cruise with friends, the hotel manager recognized our need for space and offered us available handicapped-accessible rooms. They were huge and accommodated our luggage, souvenirs, us and more. During the day, the rooms were terribly noisy since they are next to the service areas, storage and maintenance equipment. However they quieted down sometime after 10pm. We also dined at the Beacon and thought the food was wonderful - well worth the money. I would stay there again in a heartbeat and recommend it to others!!

Insanely close to shopping, beach and South Beach strip. Too basic. Insanely close to shopping, beach and South Beach strip. Good, but still a pretty basic hotel - bed, shower, towels, TV and phone. Nice restaurant, the bed was very comfortable and the staff are super friendly.

I found the hotel to be everything that was necessary for a great vacation to Miami. The rooms, as stated by others, are a bit small when there are two double beds. Since we were not in the rooms for long periods, that was fine. The location of the hotel is great. Right across from the beach and within easy walking distance of all things SoBe. I really thought the staff was great, friendly and knowledgeable. A very pleasant experience. I hope to be back.
