Ocean Surf Hotel - Miami Beach

We went for a weekend with two kids and it was the worst hotel I ever stayed in. The elevator was out of order, the hallways smelled like marijuana and it was not at all a good place for a family. We're lucky that we only stayed a night.

Been this hotel in front of the beach is really old the cleanlines it was ok but need to renew the elevator was out of service.

First of all, the only reason I picked this hotel was for the balcony. I was guaranteed a balcony once I made the reservation. When I got there, no balcony's were available. Then the elevator wasn't working so we had to carry up our luggage to the second floor. The room was a hole in the wall. It didn't even have central A/C. It had the A/C that is […] on the wall! Who even has those anymore! We had two double beds and one of them caved in when we laid down! The bathroom was clean I must say. I wouldn't stay here again even if someone paid me to! I would rather have paid more money for a better hotel. Przeczytaj więcej

This hotel is in ok condition, a bit ghetto, room smelled like some chemical cleaner and the smell was permanent. But service was good (well, I was there only for one night). It's located right on the beach, but North Beach sucks, too far from everything. I did not realized it's 70 blocks north of South Beach. If you don't mind, you can take a bus that […] will take you straight to South Bech. Trailor park type people hang out in the area and restaurants/bars are non existant, apart from a few ghetto shops/bars that I did not want to get near. Se Przeczytaj więcej

no microwave, no wifi internet, dirty carpets on hallway, elevator is not working and we've stayed on the 3rd floor! that lady in reception area doesn't even know the meaning of customer service! oh the parking it's free from 6pm to 8am, but before 8am you have to get up just to pay for your parking or u will get fined! this hotel sucks, they should […] demolish it! : ( Przeczytaj więcej

Elevators not working and the room are not is good condition

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, not even someone I disliked! The place was absolutely disgusting. My boyfriend and I could not even physically stay there for the week we book a room for because it was absolutely horrible. The room smelled like urine and mildew, there were holes punched in the door and walls, and the tiles were broken and […] could easily have hurt someone. The beds looked like the linens had never been washed and the entire hotel overall was just extremely dirty! Przeczytaj więcej

Stay only if you just need a place to sleep & shower for the hotel is OLD and needs to be updated - Price right....The staff is wonderful, helpful & friendly - The location is GREAT - right across the street from the beach & around the corner from Collins Ave....The room is VERY Basic - bed, large bureau, surprisingly a large semi-walk in closet with […] safe & tiny bathroom with window....It is very clean but feel like you're in the 1950's decor .....They give a complimentary continental breakfast and have a nice size lobby & front patio to sit, relax & take in the fresh air.

Hotel is veeery old and screaming for a big renovation or complete rebuild, but if you are looking for a cheap place to stay at in a more quiet area not in the crowded tourists areas around Miami beach but right AT the beach, this is where you wann to go :-)

This was the worst hotel that I have ever stayed at in my life. They don't change the linen daily. you only get two towels per day, the bathrooms are from the dark ages, and the overall condition of the room and entire place was very dirty and un kept. As we slept I had the feeling of bed bugs crawling on us. This is an ugly place with filthy carpets […] through out the stairways and hallways. No elevator, room telephone was full of dust and security within the hotel was a joke. there is none. Oh did I mention that the area is located across from the beach, which on it's face is nice but the area is FULL of HOMELESS people hanging around the front porch of this hotel on a regular basis. Don't stay here at any expense it is a nightmare . there is a Days Inn hotel next door which is within the same basic price range and it is 100% cleaner, safer and the staff is more professional. DO NOT ENTER THIS DUMP ALONE OR WITH YOUR FAMILY.. Przeczytaj więcej

dire - photos on web site way out of date, it stinks

This hotel was awful... The sheets had stains All over them. The walls had holes in them.. The staff was awful and rude.. I would never Recommend this hotel.. It's not worth the money.

The only benefit of this hotel was that is is close to the beach and there is parking all around. The hotel is on a desolate part of the strip and far from South beach, shopping or main venues. The rooms are old and in need of new linens and bathroom fixtures. I had to clean the bathroom and ask for towels when i arrived. The continental breakfast consisted […] of plain bagels, stale coffee and some leftover pastries. Elevator was not working, I was charged for a saftey deposit box that was not working and although the staff was nice, they kept disturbing me in my room. I would not book it again, not even for a low rate. Przeczytaj więcej

Upon check in, i was disgusted at the way the hotel looked in appearance, the amenities, the broken elevator, no parking provided, unless you pay, horribly dirty carpets, cracked..everything, It honestly looked like a house on tv from a crack house or run down drug hotel. The rooms were the size of small closets and aside from being on the beach, i […] would NOT recommend this hotel Przeczytaj więcej

Room and bed were comfortable enough, but the bathroom had definitely not been cleaned. Dirty sink and dirty shower, preferred not to use it.

Rooms was so dirty that we could not stay there even one night.

Hi, i stayed 2 nights and the elevator didn't work, the bathroom wasn't painted fully, the neighborhood wasn't great, I won't return alone to that area.

We stayed there because it was very late but as soon as we were awake we left right away.. Very dirty place...cripy!

Check-in: not welcoming, had to pay a mandatory fee for the in room safe (2.14). Kinda lame, I've never been charged for a safe before. Seems like a shistah move... Going to room on 2nd flr: elevator inoperative Room: nice view of the ocean from front circular window and balcony off the side of the room. However, headboard was falling off the wall, […] dresser was delapidated, wicker chair cushion dirty and fabric torn, bedspreads stained, carpeting old & definitely not needed in Florida, matresses really bouncy. The bathroom had clean white tile, but sloppy spackling around the tub and sink, no shampoo, conditioner, lotion, just a few bars of soap. There is a refrigerator in the room with a giant glaciar where the ice box should be & there seems to be no wifi. However, there is a continental breakfast included, it is served from 7-9AM. Oh yeah, and it's noisy. Our recommendation: do not stay here. Przeczytaj więcej

It wasn't exactly what look like in the pictures. The hotel is very old and I didn't feel comfortable even taking my shoes off!! It needs a HUGE update!!

I don't like to write bad reviews, but come on!!! This hotel is the worst I've stayed at EVER. We got a room on the third floor and off course the elevator was not working. As we were walking up the stairs, we noticed the dirty-ness on the walls, stairs, etc. As we were checking out the room: comforters and sheets were stained big time, there were grains […] of rice in my bed, the electric outlet was uncovered (really unsafe), there were hair strands in the towels and on the seats. There was no division between the shower and the rest of the bathroom, so if you need to stay here because of budget reasons I highly recommend using flip-flops while taking a shower.

this is not a 2 star hotel. There are no face clothsor tissues. There is no ice in the hotel. The elevator has not worked in over a year. This 1 star hotel can be had at a good price.

Good location, parking close by, great front desk service. Hotel needs major upgrades,bad matresses broken elevator, dirty walls dirty filthy carpets in room and halls. Bedspreads dirty, broken screens on windows refridgerator frozen with ice needs defrost! Very disappointed, nothing like the internet showed! Continental breakfast not put out till 7:45 […] am. Would not recomend staying here. Could be a great stay if cleaned up. Przeczytaj więcej

Bad location on a ghost town section of Miami beach. The hotel is in need of repairs and renovations. It was worse than a hostel, very dirty. The air conditioner had a hole all the way around it, so you could hear all sounds from the alley and it almost broke down every five mins. The TV was from the 80's and kept shutting off. The only good thing about […] this hotel was that the beach was across the street. Przeczytaj więcej

This is the WORST hotel I have ever stayed in in my life! Obviously I didn't expect much with the price of the hotel, but it was not worth half of what we paid! The rooms were disgusting. Housekeeping didn't know the meaning of the word 'clean'. The sheets were not changed and the bathroom was cleaned once in the week we were there. Food was stolen […] from our room. We walked past her 'cleaning' one room and she was sitting on their bed watching tv!! Everything about the hotel was skanky, there were hairs in the breakfast - I wouldn't feed it to my dogs. The room was ridiculously loud, there were children running up and down the corridors at ridiculous hours - which i believed to belong to staff of the hotel. If i could rate it minus numbers i would! There was one member of staff that was friendly and polite but we only saw her once. To give you an idea of the friendlines of the rest of the staff - I went to reception to ask about a tour - the entire time i was talking to her she was looking past me. Not surprisingly when it came to her answering my question, she had no idea as she hadn't listened to anything i said. Then when i started to explain myself for a second time she decided to start up a conversation with somebody else behind me! Needless to say i was shocked with the way she acted and left. I wouldn't want the stray cats to stay in this place. Although it is on the beach, it's not an area i felt safe in, and would not go out after dark. It really is awful. If we had known we would have paid extra and stayed in South Beach. Przeczytaj więcej

Look harder and spend a little more and get a clean room it's worth it !!!! This place is gross !!!! The breakfast offered is out of date milk and cereal in a huge plastic container , elevator out if order for over one week , painted hand rails and did not use wrt paint signs ...I have pink paint all over my luggage . Please look for another place

The hotel was horrible! The staff was rude, the hotel was filthy, the sheets in room had stains on them, the towels in bath were rough and no wash clothes. The carpet thru out the whole hotel was not clean and you had to step over things in the hall like empty cups, hair ties, a baby bottle, etc. The elevator did not work and they put us on the 3rd […] floor the whole experience was terrible we will not stay there again. The hotel also looks nothing like it does on line. I have pics but I dont know how to down load them on here but they will be on face book!! Przeczytaj więcej

if you looking for a save place to stay. good dont expect much from the place.

first of all they were not like the rooms that we booked on line. but the water stayed hot no promblems there. my friend was very mad but over all it was okay to me because i went to party not sleep.

Its definitely cheap, but I loved being beach front. Its a local neighborhoood, plan to drive and pay for parking if you want to go out or see anything. The one lady at the front desk was very rude. Also, the breakfast isn't good. Bagels and cream cheese (my bagel was soggy), mini pecan pinwheels and juice and coffee. But I would stay there again if […] it was just another one night trip on a budget. Przeczytaj więcej

This was a classy dive hotel. For one night it was fine but I will not be staying there again. It is need need for an updated as everything is outdated. For an Art Decor hotel it looks like the last update might have been the late 60's/early 70's. If you are looking for a place to crash for spring break and are young and on a budget then maybe this […] hotel would be OK. On a side note the hotel doesn't have back up power as we lost power for an hour in the morning. Przeczytaj więcej

I spent two nights and i had great time. The location es perfect in front of the beach and close to restaurants and supermarkets. Rooms are not luxury but there are clean and beds comfortables, so by the price is really a good deal. I recommend it if you are looking for a clean and comfortable place with good location.. Good breakfast too. The only […] thing is that is far from the Miami Airport so the taxi cost around US$38.... Martha Przeczytaj więcej

near beach, but noisy AC, not working elevator, not too tasty breakfast, I was on the way, we stayed there only two nights

This hotel is inexpensive, and when you get there you can see why. It's not kept up well (e.g., sloppy interior, ugly rooms, and elevator that looks like it's been out-of-service forever), the staff aren't especially friendly, and it's far from South Beach. On the positive side, the ocean is across the street, and free street parking is available 3-4 […] blocks away. I recommend this hotel only if price is your primary concern. Przeczytaj więcej

I would never stay here again. The walls were very dirty and bed sheets were dirty and never cleaned. Didn't give us any wash rags but gave us towels. Could hear doors slamming at all times of the night and I swear someone tried to come into our room. The only nice thing that I can say about the hotel is that the staff were very nice to us especially […] June, she was a sweetheart, and the location right on the beach was wonderful. Overall the hotel itself was trashy and I didn't feel safe staying there. But the location was awesome. Przeczytaj więcej

Good hotel for the money you spend on it. The Beach is right outside and the staff are helpful and nice! the problem is the distance to South beach if you want to do more stuff than only beeing at the beach. The Taxis are expensive and the buses do not go very often...

I was charge for a safety deposit box which I did not use, even thow I told the clerk I did not need it. In my opinion I think a person should not be charge for an unnecessary service.

You get what you pay for plus walking distance from the beach restaurants convenience stores and other shopping stores..The staff was friendly the rooms was decent better than being in a shack. But the price of the hotel is what attracted my attention for a one night stay.

Horrible experience. Room was not comfortable at all. Looks nothing like it does on the photos. Bed sheets were wet and room smelled horrible, when we asked to be moved to a different room it was just about the same as the first. Ended up staying one of the two nights in the hotel. The so-called breakfast is no good. I had an overall very bad experience […] there. DON'T recommend to anyone. Przeczytaj więcej

Thought we would take a chance and try this hotel out. The location is nice, walk across the street and your on the beach. It was not crowded and the beach area was nice and clean as well. The hotel, it is in need of some attention. Carpets need a good cleaning in the hallways or to be replaced. Elevator still does not work. The lady at the desk was […] super nice, she let us check in almost 3 hours early and did not charge us extra which was very nice. Our room was clean, the bed was comfortable. AC worked great, brand new window type unit. The downside was the blinds on the door to the balcony area did not cover the window very well. Lot of light came in around it and others have access to the area as well. Hope everyone enjoyed the show if they were watching. The bar next door had live music playing outside, you could just faintly hear it so it was not bad at all. The surrounding area was OK as well, a couple of great bakeries where real close and an excellent Cuban eatery was just around the corner, All in all it was an OK stay, I have stayed in worse hotels. Not sure I would go back to Miami Beach area or not, but if I did I would be inclined to shop around on other hotels in the area. The pricing was not bad, so if your looking for a place to sleep and be on the beach and you do not mind a few issues with the hotel try it out. Przeczytaj więcej

the room was extremely hot. the airconditioner was very dirty, moldy, and clogged. they falsely adverstised having a pool, and give you pappers to sign in spanish (claim they ran out of english version.) the standered room is the size of a master bathroom. needless to say i am very unhappy.

Cheap hotel, very close to the ocean. The hotel does not look luxurious but matches the price. Staff speaks either spanish or english, so if you know both, you should be fine in either case. Keep in mind, price for the hotel does not include mandatory safe fee even if you do not use it. If you have such things as a laptop, it will likely not fit into […] the safe, so the safe is useless. If you expect receptionists to smile, it will not necessarily be the case. Our neighbors were noisy, who would listen to loud music at 5am. Przeczytaj więcej

Splendid pictures on the net but nothing to do with the reality ! The Hotel needs a good renovation, lift out of service, sand on the floor and poor breakfast, not even a cup of tea ! The staff does his best, friendly but can't balance the need of investment. Could be a real good place. Forget it for the moment !

Well, I was prepared before going to the hotel, based on previous reviews, so I took with me Lysol, bleach, air refreshners, etc. Our family rented 3 rooms, I was the locky one, my a/c worked fine but the dorm fridge was not cold enough, my daughter and niece were not lucky, their a/c did not cool but the fridge did! You got what you paid for. The front […] desk lady, the blonde, was not friendly but the rest of the housekeeping were . The beach was great. Przeczytaj więcej

Be warned - contrary to the listed room amenities, there is no internet access available in the rooms. This is a VERY BASIC hotel/motel. There is no parking and very little service.

The location is very good because it is near the beach where is fanatastic. However, the breakfast is not that good and you have to pay meter-maschine for parking on 8am-6pm. I recommend people who want to save money and don't care the condition of hotel. Overall, I was very satisfied with the trip with my fiancee.
