Great location, easy valet parking, very pretty ambiance. The tropical atrium and upper-level pool with a glass viewing wall are lovely. The beach is basically across the street and hotel guests have access to beach lounge chairs and umbrellas, which is great. Some of the staff were very really friendly (the afternoon and evening crew); others not so much. Overall I’m very happy with the Expedia VIP perks and the Expedia service. However, I just noticed a hefty charge on my credit card from the Balfour Hotel that’s more than expected for parking plus whatever fees they must have charged separately from my Expedia booking payment. If those extra charges aren’t reversed, then I’ll be pretty disappointed in the total cost of this stay. So if you’re considering this hotel, be aware of potential fees added on. Otherwise, I completely recommend this hotel for a South Beach getaway.

The Balfour was a great experience for myself & fiance over the past weekend. The staff was knowledgeable and nice overall. The room was clean and organized with the basic amenities you would expect such as working tv & wifi, with a strongly working air conditioner in the room which is important for a very humid area in Miami. I've been coming here for a number of years so I've went thru the multiple changes it gone thru over the time. The checkout process was simple and straightforward as service at the front desk is actually 24hrs. The gentleman there helped me logout around 4AM to get our ride to the airport so they're very responsive and courteous overall. To be unbiased, I have to share a small negative. I wish there was more food options on their menu for breakfast & dinner. But other than that it's all good. Will be back again soon!

Your resort fee is a rip off. Wake up Service is non existent. The "pool" is a joke. Your guests should have access to the pool at the Savoy like it use to.

Inattentive service and roach in room.

Restaurant service was terrible. Food was good, when server did come over was very polite and well spoken but it took forever to get noticed, forever to get food and ran out of water multiple times without checking if we needed refills. Roach in bathroom.

How I was treated by staff at their bar in the pool area was disgraceful. I very disappointment with the service I received from one of their servers on 2/28 4:20 PM at your bar by Thomas (Server 10112). I ordered a burger and fries, which was prepared in approximately 15-20 minutes. However, instead of promptly serving my meal, Thomas covered it and allowed it to sit behind the bar counter for an additional 15 minutes while he prioritized other guests who arrived at the bar after me. As a paying guest at the hotel, I expect to receive my food fresh, just like everyone else. Instead, I was served food that had gone cold due to unnecessary delays. Additionally, I ordered a margarita, which Thomas assured me he would prepare. However, instead of making my drink which simply required dispensing from the margarita machine he proceeded to take and mix several other drink orders for new customers at the bar. Despite my patience, I felt disregarded. When I finally voiced my concerns stating that I’m a customer and I should be treated as such, his response was completely unacceptable he stated, verbatim, that he did not give a f*** who I was. This level of unprofessionalism is appalling. One of his coworkers attempted to de-escalate the situation by explaining that they were short-staffed, which I understand however there were multiple hanging out. That does not justify leaving my food sitting on the counter for 15 minutes while others were served promptly. Never again!

Great location. Room was small but was all we needed. Bed and pillows were comfortable. The best part of this hotel is the proximity to the beach and the lounge chairs and umbrellas at the beach. I had emailed a question to the hotel but like other reviews mentioned. I never heard back.
