When we arrived, we had to wait almost 45 minutes to get checked in due to the hotel being short staffed. After checking in, we were told the elevator was out of service and we would have to lug our luggage up three flights of stairs to get to our room- no assistance was offered by hotel staff. The hotel room was fine, but the bathroom was really small and the shower was so narrow you almost had to stand sideways to raise your arms up to wash your hair. At checkout, no one was present so we just left the key on the desk only to find out when we returned back to land after our cruise (7 days later) that we were charged $208 for no reason and now we are fighting with the hotel to get that money back. Definitely not staying here again.

I made reservations for the Whitelaw hotel but when I got there the lady at the desk told me that whoever I booked with gave me an upgrade and I was placed into the hotel next door (Posh). The room was very dark with two tiny windows. There was a large gap in the front door big enough for rodents to climb under. There was a Hostel above the hotel rooms. I asked the lady at the desk did she put me in a hostel she said no. I asked why was the Wi-Fi username for Posh, she said it’s for all stays. She was a good liar. The location was great but not what I booked. I will never use a third party for booking a hotel again.

The Whitelaw is absolutely charming. Staff is fabulous. We adore Marco. He’s the bartender and also served us on the patio the next morning for breakfast. If you’re staying in Miami Beach, you definitely have to try the whitelaw hotel.

The room was clean, and bright! There’s a bar and restaurant connected and staff was both helpful and friendly. The location was perfect. We walked to many different restraints, shops and activities. The beach is close enough to walk as well. I can’t wait to return.
