South Beach Plaza Hotel

Biggest complaint was the dumpsters that came at 7am and took 1 hour to clean up the trash. Very loud!

Location is great for restaurants, shopping, beach and New Year's Eve celebrations

Ordinarily no heat in the room would be no big deal in South Florida. But when it happens to be 2 of the coldest days of the year (arctic blast), you kind of need a little heat. Especially if you are already feeling ill. After 5 phone calls to the front desk and multiple promises that "maintenance" would come to get the heat going, someone finally arrives at the door with a small space heater. Yes, turns out there is actually no "heating" for the room. Other than this small thing, otherwise the experience was ordinary. To be sure, this hotel is no 3-star.

We had a great 3 days in Miami Beach. The hotel was well located, rooms were pleasant, staff was very friendly, and it's nice to have breakfast included.

Hotel looks to be recently renovated, Big rooms Affordable price Close to beach and happenings ocean drive Parking is an issue at south beach Low resort fee $8.5/day per room includes beach towel, breakfast.

This hotel is close to the beach..It was very clean,linens and towels very good quality,beds all right.But very noisy early in the morning.Location of room in the back of hotel.very good continental breakfast,fresh.Most employees smilling and talking to customers.

This is one of many old hotels that trade on their location. The hotel is very old and it shows. The rooms are shabby and old. The old tube style TV and ancient bed spread make you feel cheated for the price. The staff cheats the foreign tourists and they pop a 'resort' fee onto your bill that isn't disclosed until checkin. Hustlers hang out on the front porch of this hotel and a tour salesman sitting in the lobby pretends to be a concierige (sp) while steering the gulible to his tours. Net, good location crumby hotel, particularly for the money.

the room was very clean. We stayed at here the weekend of art Basel and would stay again.

My traveling companion was celebrating her birthday. This was my second stay here. Previously I traveled alone and was on the hotel side. This time we were in a villa. There was a kitchenette with an unusable stove, microwave and refrigerator. We only used the refrigerator. We were booked for a room with 2 double beds. This room had 1 double bed and a sofa bed which was uncomfortable. We ended up sharing the 1 double bed. Only the cold water faucet on the bathroom sink worked. The last 2 days of our stay, there was no hot water. During checkout, several of us complained about the hot water problem. We were told there was a technical problem and that it was being fixed. I was also given the manager's email address as she was unavailable when we checked out. It has been a week since I emailed my complaints to her and I have not gotten a response. I plan to visit South Beach again in 2012, but this will probably be the last time I use this hotel.

This room had 1 double bed and a sofa bed which was uncomfortable. So we ended up sharing the one double bed. Only the cold water faucet in the bathroom sink worked. The last 2 days of our stay, the hot water did not work. During check out, several other customers including myself complained to the concierge about the hot water situation. He said there were technical problems and that it was being fixed. The manager was not available, but I was given her email address and I did email her. It has been a week since I emailed her and I've gotten no response. I plan on returning to South Beach next year, but I probably will not be staying here again.
