Cadet Hotel

Fairly good stay overall. The rooms are a little small but still include TV, tub/shower, and mini fridge etc. Everything was clean- cleaning staff does a nice job. The location is fantastic- very close to lots of shopping and things to do, close to the beach (a few blocks), close to clubs, and great places to eat. The pool is more like an oversized hot tub- literally 100 degrees (at least in January it was), which was actually pretty nice. The outside spaces are kinda cool for being within the city of Miami Beach, cool plants and covered spaces. We would stay again for sure. They have free wi-fi which is nice to help you plan your days out about the city. Its very close to Miami Beach botanical gardens which was quite nice.

The room smelled of smoke and it is moldy

The staff really cared about my comfort during the stay; they went out of their way to accommodate a few requests (which I usually don't make). The rooms are not your modern-lux aesthetic, so if you're looking for that, keep going, but if you're looking for a nice bed, good staff, and some South Beach charm this is your spot. I slept great and was happy with my sizable room; it was easy to relax in after a long night or day. I had one breakfast at the cafe and it was fine - the outdoor seating was an added plus. In short: I have no complaints and was even impressed by the caring staff.

Terrible place. Sand in my bed, sink faucet sprays water everywhere, no ironing board, broken iron, phone was broken, no AC remote. The bartender tipped himself on my room account after I already gave him a cash tip. Very unprofessional staff. Stay away!

The price was too expensive for the room plus they have a resort fee. I’ll start with the pros. The biggest highlight is the location.the hotel staff was accommodating meaning they allowed us early check in. The rooms were moderately clean. Cons: The bathrooms were really very old and rusty. The linens were also old and stained. A few small bugs but no roaches. If you just need a place to lay your head that’s moderately clean but plan on going out most of the time, it will do the trick.
