Marriott Stanton South Beach

I have stayed at many of the top five start hotels in #SoBe, NONE of them have a view from the pool of the ocean like the Stanton does. The staff are A+. Jennifer Cook at the Front Desk provided A+ customer service. The room I had on the 11^th floor had an amazing view of the ocean and beach plus the park. What I like is this hotel is quiet and has an excellent location. Yet you are just a few blocks from the energy and partying of South Beach. Takes a lot to impress me. You get more than you pay for here Save your money and skip the super high end hotels and stay here.

i loved this hotel and their attentive staff! it’s on the quieter side of SoBe which i appreciated. it’s nice to be able to get away from all the hustle and bustle of SoBe when one needs to. we came here mid-​November 2015 and they were renovating their pool. we were able to get a good deal due to the renovations. we did not hear any of the work being done, which was awesome since we had an ocean front room. forget about the pool tho and check out the beach that is steps away from the hotel. we snagged a cabana one afternoon which we were able to enjoy some drinks in between dips in the emerald green warm water. it was heaven! the rooms are clean and the staff including valet were all so friendly!

A hotel’s primary purpose is to provide a comfortable sleep. The Stanton fails in this regard. The hotel is extremely noisy, with hotel-​caused noises beginning early in the morning. The excessive sounds make sleeping impossible, even with earplugs (which I tried). If you are a traveler on EST, you may find the loud, continuous noise beginning at 7:00AM suitable. However, if you are traveling from the Pacific Coast where this would be 4:00 in the morning, the early morning noise is not acceptable.
If you can’t sleep at a hotel, not much else matters, and it’s this lack of concern for guests’ comfort that makes spending money at this hotel a true disappointment.
In short, the Stanton was an unpleasant experience.

Thank you to the Marriott Stanton South Beach for an excellent Christmas vacation! The remodel is going really well and I love all the upgrades to the hotel. Next up they definitely need to do a big upgrade of the exterior of the hotel, as I had stopped by briefly before my parents arrived in town to scope out the place and was worried it wouldn’t be very nice. The lobby is beautifully redone, as our the interiors of the rooms.
The rooms have hardwood floors and gorgeous showers with overhead or handheld options. The shower gets nice and hot and the overhead has excellent pressure. There is a little cutout in the shower door. does anyone know what this is for? My theories are that it is either for turning on the shower and getting it nice and steamy before stepping in (what a waste of water!) or for reaching for your towel without letting all the steam out.
The hotel’s staff was what really put the hotel over the top. When we checked in we realized we had made a booking mistake and our reservation was actually for the next day; the wonderful lady working at the check in counter was able to find us a room at a reasonable rate, and arranged it so that we wouldn’t have to change rooms the next day. We also needed a small pair of scissors (to cut wrapping paper, of course ;)) as well as a curling iron and hairspray, all of which they were happy to provide.
One gripe, that you will also see on my review of Boucher Brothers, is that the beach chairs and umbrellas bearing the Marriott logo on the beach in front of the hotel are NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE HOTEL. They will not give free beach towels for hotel guests, only those who pay for their expensive beach chairs and umbrellas. This would be fine, if only these umbrellas did not bear the Marriott logo. I strongly feel it is a poor business move for Marriott to permit use of their logo if a service is not being provided to hotel guests.
You have to bring towels from your room to use for the beach, as pool towels are not permitted to be brought to the beach. A beachfront hotel should provide beach towels, IMO.

Service was spectacular. They are going through renovations currently but I wouldn’t let that deter you from staying here. Rooms were clean, updated and bathroom was superb.

I am not a big traveler, I have not stayed in a lot of hotels. Even though it was under renovations when I was there, It was not an issue. I really like this place, I really like South Beach. The room was awesome. The Beach is awesome, I am going back in May 2016. If you did not know the beach is topless though not a lot in this area. If you are on the beach and guy in selling water by one from him, it is cold and he buys the water from CVS. He is only trying to make a buck, he is a good Capitalist!

Beautiful, clean hotel. The pool area is well-​maintained, plenty of chairs with appropriate, clean padding. Beach access, and extremely pleasant staff. Amanda and Stephanie at the front desk were AMAZING, and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

After a horrific experience with other lodging, Stanton stepped up & got us checked in early. EVERYONE here has been sooo helpful & friendly! Beautiful accommodations — right on the beach! Vacation rescued!!!

Right on the ocean and nice rooms and this is where it stops, hence giving it 3 starts.
Watch out for the bartenders as per Miami rules you are supposed to get a copy of your bill to show THE GRATUITY IS INCLUDED… we found this out the 2^nd day after we were double tipping and on top of that if you are paying cash, the bartenders do not give you exact change, they give you only partial change unless you say something.
Thankfully we looked at our bill before checkout as we were being charged $ 44.94 per day for parking and WE NEVER HAD A CAR… we had to call back 3 x to have this taken off. We also were with another couple and would split the lunch and bar tabs by the pool but were both charged the full amounts. WATCH YOUR ACCOUNTING if you are going to stay here!

Well I was here on business and had to call the desk numerous times for someone to silence the screaming people in the hallways. Of course, nothing was done about it.
The toilet ran all night long
When I tried to get my car from valet to check out it took over 20 minutes.
Only one employee seemed to be nice in the entire place.
Over priced for the service you’ll receive.

Recently renovated and the pool was being redone while we were there (they did a great job communicating that up front). Rooms are beautiful, done in a tasteful spin of Art Deco south beach style. SoFi (south of 5^th) is my new favorite part of Miami– you are close enough to the people watching but far enough from the volume of all those people. Beach is perfect– get the chairs and umbrella early to be in the front.

Sep 15 the wonderful experience but the pool side were under construction in that phase, overall good food and nice staff relationship.

Let me start off with the GOOD. Rooms are beautiful! Views of the ocean are gorgeous. I absolutely love the showers (my personal favorite is the waterfall shower). Majority of the employees (all with the exception of one) were absolutely wonderful! Suzanne (Wedding Coordinator) was the very best! Love her! Appearance wise, the place is beautiful. There is a lot of renovations but they offer things to compensate for the renovations. For example, there is no pool right now, so they offer lounge chairs, umbrellas, and a towel for the beach.
Now on to the BAD. This manager with the last name of Moscato (forgot his first name)…he was absolutely the worst. He spoke to people in a condescending tone. One incident, I spoke to him about who is on the list for the concierge lounge, he mentioned that my sister’s (the bride) room was on the list. An hour later, we go back to eat. He then, mentions she’s not allowed in the room, and all of a sudden he had the wrong list earlier, yet NEVER pulled out another list to check. He didn’t question other people that walked in the room. From our perspective, it very much seems like he picks and chooses who to ask and who to let in the lounge. My room was not on the list (I got moved to the 11^th floor because there were ants in one of my beds), yet people in room were able to go in the lounge with no worries… but not I.
After that ordeal, they offered us breakfast to be sent to our room (this is my sister’s wedding date by the way). We get the breakfast, sit down and we are about to eat. Then we see a roach is crawling around on the tray. We caught the roach in one of the cups. We were completely done and upset by this time. We called and they sent another manager. She was visibly embarrassed, yet she left up the cup and let the roach run free. We left and got breakfast else where.
When we got back, there was a nice spread of sandwiches and mimosa mixins in the room.
Overall, there was good customer service. The very main issue is the manager Moscato. He was very rude and discriminating. I plan on writing to the general manager and corporate office of Marriott because he made our experience bad.
Though we dealt with ants and roaches… which can possibly be explained because of the renovations… the place is nice and most employees are great.
One thing… make sure you have some mosquito spray… you will get bit. And they aren’t normal bites. They itch once bitten, then rise and itch again a day or two later… it’s weird.

Amazing hotel !
customer service was amazing and the location is great. Best Marriott stay I have ever experienced. I Went for my friends Bachelorette weekend and the staff went above and beyond with sweet details.

The customer service was excellent. Extremely helpful staff. My group stayed for a bachelorette here and it was a perfect location in SoBe. Just a few blocks away from Mangos, a block from Story and Big pink! Not to mention they have their own beach area where they offer lounge chairs, towels and umbrellas. They were very detail oriented with the Bach party. They sent fruit baskets, gave us sunglasses and waters.

Easily a four-​star review if not for the major renovations and construction currently in progress. Overall a very nice hotel in the trendy SoFi neighborhood of South Beach. I was fortunate enough to have a few days off in Miami prior to doing some work-​related business near the airport, so I decided to head out to the beach to redeem some award points at the Stanton.
By far the best part of this hotel was the location. The Stanton is in the quiet and safe part of South Beach in SoFi, yet only a short 10 – 15 minute walk from all the action further north on Ocean Drive. There are many great bars, cafes, and restaurants within walking distance, and the area is also in the perfect location for getting in a quick morning run. Another big plus was the concierge lounge on the top floor, easily one of the nicest Marriott lounges I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. A solid variety of food and drink options and panoramic views of Miami Beach from the multiple rooftop decks. Great for watching the sunset or some of the epic South Florida thunderstorms!
As for the downsides, I have to subtract a star due to the major renovations going on at the hotel and the general haphazard setup it created in the lobby and ground floor areas. Although I’m sure the work is just temporary, it definitely detracted from the overall experience and I might not have booked the hotel if I knew the extent of the construction ahead of time.
The other issue… I found the pool area and the customer service in the pool area to be lacking for a hotel at this price point. For one, the pool area felt extremely cramped, and several large families with small children running around the pool area didn’t make it better. On top of that, one of the pools was closed and taped off for more than half of my stay, and the staff didn’t appear to be doing anything to fix the issue other than placing an orange road cone on the bottom of the pool. Down to one pool instead of the usual two, the congested pool area became even more so.
My final gripe was with the poolside servers, some of who seemed to ignore certain customers all together and showed little personal attention. I personally heard more than one individual complain to the manager about their bad customer service experience by the pool. Not the best considering how much people are paying for that experience.
Overall a nice hotel and once the renovations are complete, I would definitely recommend the Marriott Stanton to others. I personally will probably go elsewhere on my next visit to South beach just to explore the variety the area has to offer.

Beautiful hotel but currently being renovated.
Pool area is mediocre.
Rooms are extremely nice. Beds are comfy. Shower is superb! You have the option of a rain shower or hand held. The balcony has ample space for about 10 people standing or 5 sitting (only 2 chairs out there though).
Haven’t tried restaurant or bar yet, so will update this later.

Great Location! Literally a 5min. Walk to the hopping area of south beach. wet willies mangos news café so on. Private beach area with umbrella chairs for rental each day. Gorgeous beach view with a balcony high floor room. Clean, great customer service. Delicious fruit flavored water added personality as you checked in.
Nice bar inside, met a great fun bartender who helped us with what to see and where to visit.
Pool was great, large and not overly packed. same with jacuzzi.
Nice cozy lounge area with comfy seats and fire pit for romance.
A bit pricey per night as were the pina coladas pool side $ 15 each but well worth it!
If you have the $$ then stay here!

Nice hotel. Great location in the heart of South Beach and next to the beach. Decent ammenities for Marriott guests with status. We had a room facing the north which was definitely quieter (i.e. did not face the street or any construction)
The room was normal size with a terrace which was fine with me because that meant the air-​conditioning worked great! Bathroom was nice — good rainshower. Internet was free for us and worked perfectly. They have a private breakfast area on the top floor for Marriot Platinum members. We met up with some very nice guests there.
The main restaurant and bar were fair to good. The pool area is pretty as well. Attached Startbucks and falvored water in the lobby were added plusses.
The one downside I notice were some small ants in the room. I lived in Miami for 5 years and would see these around too. They can’t be controlled so I don’t blame the hotel on this. The room was spotless each day.
Check in and check out were a breeze and the hotel staff were genuinely friendly.

The two stars are for the location, the view and the great service by the towel girl and the server by the pool.
The room was not cleaned well. Lipstick stains and old blood spatter was found in the room but housekeeping was very responsive about the cleaning issues.
The real turn off was the lack of food and poor service in the concierge lounge. They start closing down at least 30 minutes prior to the time they have posted and they don’t replenish the food during service times. In my experience the lesser expensive properties such as the residence inn, have much better service and offerings for breakfast and more attentive housekeepers.

Wir waren für 2 Nächte in diesem tollen Hotel. Wir haben von Deutschland aus gebucht, da es eines der wenigen Hotels in Miami ist, das auch ein Frühstück im Preis einschließt. Das Hotel ist nicht ganz billig, aber für Miami, die Lage, den Service, Zimmergröße USW. angemessen.
Das Zimmer ist recht groß und war stets sauber. Das Bett war sehr bequem. Jeden Morgen gab es eine Zeitung aufs Zimmer.
Das Frühstück hat uns super gut gefallen, da es unterschiedlichste Früchte und Müslis gab. Die Säfte schmeckten Klasse und der Service war gut. Wer hier nichts zum Essen findet, ist selbst schuld.
Parken ist teuer, aber in der Lage Dafür wird der Wagen vom Personal weggefahren und wieder geholt.
Das Hotel ist am Ocean Drive in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Art Deco Viertel gelegen. Das Personal am Empfang ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Tipp: in jedem Stockwerk gibt’s einen Getränkeautomaten, in dem man sich für 1 $ ein Getränk holen kann.
Im EG ist ein Starbucks mit leckeren Kaffeespezialitäten.

Also um einiges klar zu stellen.
Dieses Hotel wird fast ausschließlich von Amerikanern besucht. Das Essen im Restaurant «Deco Blue» ist absolut in Ordnung und selbst im Entferntesten NICHT mit Kantinenessen vergleichbar.
Im Übrigen gibt es drei Pool’s, zwei normale und einen Whirlpool.
Da ich regelmäßig hier übernachte weiß ich, dass dieses Hotel leider nicht für 90 — 150 EUR pro Tag zu buchen ist. Da muss man leider etwas mehr drauf legen. Und ich buche mein Hotel nur von Deutschland!
Und für 34 $ kann man leider auch nicht sein Auto über Nacht dort abstellen. Ich habe im Januar 38 $ pro Nacht bezahlt.
Ansonsten gehört dieses Hotel zu der etwas besseren Kategorie in Miami Beach.

Das Hotel ist ganz okay. Parken kostet min. 34 Bucks pro Nacht. Frühstück ist eher Bescheiden mangels Kreativität und Service (Viele Fertigwaren — Wurst und Käse aus der Packung, Muffins eingeschweisst, Fertigjoghurts, Säfte aus dem Tetrapac, sehr fettiges Rührei … etc.), die Tische wurde vor der Platzierung neuer Gäste lediglich abgeräumt, aber leider nicht immer gewischt. Der Poolbereich ist relativ eng (Platz für max 60 – 70 Liegen) und daher in der Sonnenzeit meisst überfüllt und ab späteren Nachmittag liegt er im Hotelschatten und ist dann nicht mehr so überfüllt. Es sind viele europäischeTouristen im Hotel, wohl auch daher bedingt, dass das Hotel über TUI und MEYERS Weltreisen buchbar ist (90−150E Pro Nacht inkl. Frühtsück, jedoch Saisonabhängig auch höher). Zimmer sind okay. Was zu empfehlen ist ist ein Diner (hab 3x Steaks gegessen) im Restaurant, da passt der Service dann auch wieder, ganz im Gegensatz zum Frühstück. Die Lage macht einige Defizite wieder gut. Nice ist der Starbucks Shop im EG. Garant für einen guten Kaffee und Brownies :-)
Eine witzige Erinnerung ist ein am Hotel hausendes Eichhörnchen names «Marie», welches ausschließlich auf Erdbeeren stand. Es hat sich aus der Hand füttern lassen… aber eben nur mit Erdbeeren.

18 km vom internationalen Flughafen Miami entfernt, liegt dieses Hotel unmittelbar am Strand von Miami Beach in der angesagten Umgebung des Ocean Drive «South of 5^th Street» oder kurz «SoFi» genannt.
Es ist mit Sicherheit eines der besseren Hotels hier am Platz. Innerhalb der Marriottkategorie befindet sich dieses Hotel in der Klasse 7 (von 1 – 8, wobei 8 die höchste Kategorie ist). Es hat 3 AAA Diamanten.
Die Zimmer sind ansehnlich groß, verfügen über High Speed Internet, Kabelfernsehen, Safe. Auf der Consierge Etage im 11 Stock befindet sich die Lounge in der die üblichen Annehmlichkeiten, Getränke, Snacks, Frühstück usw. angeboten werden. Natürlich kann man auch das hoteleigene Restaurant aufsuchen.
Die Preise variieren abhängig vom gebuchten Package und vom Buchungszeitpunkt zwischen 250 US$ und 900 US$.
In unmittelbarer Nähe befinden sich gute Restaurants, z.B. «Fogo de Chão» oder «Texas de Brazil» Steakhäuser, um nur zwei zu nennen.
Das Starbucks Coffee House unmittelbar am Eingang des Hotels lädt zu einem leckeren Kaffee ein.
Ich bin immer wieder gerne hier. Das South Beach Marriott ist mein Hotelfavorit in Miami.
