Majestic South Beach Hotel

Had stayed for 3 nights and was quite well place to live except few issues like AC was not running well, Toilet has small space, Doors got jam, etc. But if you want to enjoy the South Beach, this is a prime location.

I have to say that my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It’s not a luxury suite by any means, but it was clean, and the employees were obliging and kind, and the location of the majestic is ideal! You cross the street and you’re right there at the beach. They have valet parking at $ 32 a night but if you walk down on 7^th street between Collins and Washington, they have a parking garage that charges $ 1 an hour and we only ended up paying $ 19 for the night. They let you borrow beach towels, and check in/​check out was a breeze; I’d gladly stay here again, no question.

This hotel has some pros but some really serious cons also. We stayed here just for one night before we took a cruise the next day so it wasn’t bad but if I were going to be in this area for longer than that I definitely would have found a more comfortable hotel
Pros: location. It’s DIRECTLY across the street from a main entrance to the beach. Also, it’s right on the main drag were everything you would want is nearby. Another pro is the price. I don’t know what the regular rate is but we got this hotel for around $ 57 for a Sunday night via Hotwire. That’s it. That’s all the pros. Really.
Cons: service SUCKS!!! We got there earlier than regular check in time and asked about early check in. Wasn’t happening. Hey, it’s a small place, they’re busy, can’t blame them. They did allow us to leave our bags however we had to just sort of pile them at the front desk, not a private area. When we came back around 4:30 (check in starts at 4) they were nowhere to be found! There were at least four groups of guests standing around waiting for someone to show up to check us in for almost 30mins. We finally started to hound the restaurant employees figuring they would get sick of us and yes, finally they went and hunted someone down. Another con, it’s a 2 star hotel. Not comfy or cozy but not a rathole either. Our bathroom was better than others I’ve seen in the pics but the linens, carpet, furniture etc is bare bones.

Can’t be the value anywhere! Right on Ocean Drive in the middle of the action. Not the biggest rooms but who is hanging out in their room on South Beach? Great restaurant downstairs, but many others to choose from that aren’t a far walk.

Pro’s: Nice bathroom (small though), near the beach.
Con’s: key card deactivated each time we left the room (we kept it away from our cell phones), needs better lighting in the rooms, the bed was hard, bathroom and beach towels had stains on them, the décor was drewery (brown to be exact), don’t stay in rooms 168, 167, or 166. Its very noisy due to the unloading trucks and house keeping entering in and out of the exit door throughout all hours of the day. House keeping only made the beds, took out the trash, and gave us more stained towels (you would think they would of check it prior to leaving them on them bed). Air contidioner was out dated, it took all day to feel any cool air. Unfortunately we will not stay here again.

What a horrible hotel/​motel. Nothing about this place is good except the location. The restaurant is overpriced and mediocre, one person in our party had food poisoning from the Hawaiian pizza. The waiters just stand there and talk to each other and dance to the extremely loud music blaring from the speakers. Unbelievably rude.
The hotel itself is so low quality. The rooms are tiny and bathrooms are microscopic. Room service was pretty bad too, we stayed here 3 nights and they only vacuumed the floors once. They did give us 2 bottles of water every day which was nice.
The worse thing about this hotel however wasn’t even the previously described things. It was the crowed that stayed in this hotel. This hotel is probably one of the «cheapest» hotels in the art deco district so the people it attracts are atrocious. There was screaming and fighting in the middle of the night in the hallway outside our door, and constant boozing and roudy behavior. When we called the guest services they send someone who told us there is no security in the hotel and we can call the cops if we want.
Just a rediculous experience, next time I would rather pay more and stay in a civilized hotel. The only good thing is the location, about a 2 min walk to the beach, and right in the middle of the art deco district.

Where do I began?
The good part: Across from beach & middle of excitement. That’s it!!!
The bad part: Small room, small bathroom, old rug, tiny ½ person dresser, view of construction, noise all night due to garbage trucks and construction. No microwave in the building! No concession stand. For ice you must go in the basement. Roaches. No real cable channels. No parking!!! Valet is $ 32 a day. The restaurant downstairs is a RIP off. $ 50 for 2 drinks. We will NEVER come back here. I hope this help someone else and you find another place to stay. We were reserved here after our cruise was canceled at the last minute. Never again!

I really enjoyed my stay here. I had a 1 bed room with a large sized bed and my view was wonderful. I had no complaints with check in and the staff that was there when we checked out was very friendly and helpful. They held our bags while we went out for brunch and offered to call a cab for our transportation. The location was so great! I used this hotel the night before leaving for a cruise and the night life in the area is great.
However, if you are looking for a quiet place this will not be for you. Not only the night life is loud, but you are able to hear TVs on in other rooms. And there were also some ants on the bathroom sink. I would still stay here again.

This hotel was falsely advertised. The room was the size of a matchbox. The bathroom was updated but very tiny. The queen size bed was very small. The staff was not so friendly. A resort fee was charged and the wifi was very slow. The front of the hotel is used as a restaurant with not so great service. The location of the hotel is great right across the street from the beach. The location is pretty much the only thing good about the hotel.

This was my second time staying here and everyone knows that in this particular area all of these hotels are pretty much the same. None are really fancy more like boutique hotels but the location of this one is perfect.
The room was super clean and it looked like it had been newly renovated. It wasn’t a huge space but this is south beach you don’t come here to stay in your room.
The hotel did provided beach towels for the beach across the street, a restaurant and wifi.
On my last day I needed to print out my boarding pass and they don’t have a computer with a printer for the guest but the guy in the guest services was super nice and printed out for me.
If you are looking for a fancy hotel then you are better off looking for a place in the teens and twenties on Collins but if you want a place across the beach, walking distances to restaurants, bars and clubs then this is the place for you.

Decided to book a last minute trip to Miami and the previous reviews are a bit off putting, however I booked anyway. The location is awesome, and the room was clean and decent. It is a small hotel so don’t expect chain hotel accommodations but I would book again.

Worst house keeping!!! They just keep on knocking the door and then they say sorry! I guess they were trying to see who stays in the room and the count! Worst behavior & never expected!!! We requested for extra beds, but none were provided.
Got it comparatively cheap for new year. They said we ll get 2 double bed room. But we ended up in a king size bedroom.
Worth only go the location.

It’s al nice hotel in the big idea.
But when you come to ask for water they tell you no we give only once.
The bad are not that good.
They say free internet access that’s a lie!
No reception over there.
The people at the bar are really nice and friendly and that the best thing in this hotel.

WARNING!!!
Do I seriously have to give this place even one star? Stinky cockroach infested place. Stay away!

So sad because the location is so nice! Room looks ok when you go on but when the lights go out… The cocaroaches come out as well! It’s disgusting. Old place needs to be renovated! So sad. There was so many roaches in the bathroom at night and one on my bed! Could not sleep! The only thing cool is the location in front of the beach!

The location is great, but thats where the buck stops. The room had a very weird smell, the bathroom was tiny and the water was yellow. For the amount of money they charged me, I could have stayed in Time Square in a room with a view. I would not recommend this hotel.

Enjoying breakfast at the Majestic! Delicious! Now I cone here every weekend with my daughter. :o)
Breakfast $ 5.75 and pineapple juice is $ 4.75! Still, well worth it!

Great location, room was nice and clean, staff was very courteous.
Would definitely stay here again.

Our Ocean View room was looking at a building across 7^th street. See the photos I’ve uploaded. Ridiculous that they call that an Ocean View room.
Management is rude, the lobby has no AC. Stairs are dirty, hallways have a funky smell that makes you want to puke. The room is small. Our toilet is right next to the door, so you sorta have to sit sideways on the toilet. Overall pretty clean, I only found 2 hairs on the linens. Best part is that the AC works.

When you go to Miami… how long do you plan on seeing your hotel room? I took a 24 hour trip and in total, spent about 6 ½ hours in the hotel room… so for that amount of time and the cost of this room… GREAT value. If the hours were reversed, I would not be as impressed with this hotel.
GREAT location, right in the center of it all. Everything was within walking distance. The ambiance within this hotel is very classic. Everything is older but doesn’t come off dirty.
I totally agree with Ned S. «retro and sooo sobeeeee. staying here is like having a role in a film nior. simple dark hallways where you expect to run into humphry bogart.»
The room was very small — just enough room for 2 double beds and a chair. the closet was huge and the bathroom was not. Did have a hairdryer and iron though, keeping up with the times that way!
Everything seemed clean except the windows, they needed a good power wash. The hallways smelled awesome, that was a nice hello walking to the room.
One thing that was really confusing was the entrance to the hotel since there is a restaurant below… it just felt weird pulling luggage through the nice patio. Also, no signs of parking — that was frustrating.
I received a «prepare for your stay» email from the hotel and there was nothing mentioned about parking. I wish there was.
Parking advice:
You have to call 30 min ahead of time to request valet and it’s $ 27/​night. There is a garage on 7^th, block ½ from the hotel and it’s only $ 20/​night. We went with the garage.
all-​in-​all — I was pleased with this hotel but might try another one to get a different experience next time!
