I was traveling alone with my teenage daughter, and this was a great place to be in the thick of ocean Drive to really get the full experience. My daughter loved it. The room was comfortable and surprisingly quiet at night after things quieted down.

Nice hotel, spacious room, has all you need for a great stay. The restaurant in the hotel Havana 1957 Is very good and the location on ocean Drive near everything and in front of the Beach Is perfect. We could hear some restaurant noices from our room but it wasnt too bad. The only blemish, the perdón at check in was as warm and welcoming as the rest of the staff but did her job.

We were directed to a tiny room directly above the small lobby. It would have been barely ok except for the band downstairs in the bar lobby and the band outside the window in the street. It was so loud a conversation could not be had. The hotel apologized profusely, but had no other room and told us we would need to get our refund from Expedia since that’s who we paid. We booked a room through Expedia at Hotel Balfour and walked 1/2 mile down the street. Now Expedia sees I paid them for two hotel rooms that night and have thus far refused the refund. We’ll see.

When we arrived at the property we were told they didn’t have our reservation & I needed to pay him $200 cash on top of what I paid through Expedia. The roads were shut down around the property & cab dropped us 3 blocks away. Beds were uncomfortable & room was small. Total scam!

Close to the beach and clean room with nice bathroom. Night time got really noisy outside, but I asked for ear plugs at the front desk and it worked great for me next night. Kids enjoyed the pool and we loved breakfast here.

Its very weird to go to breakwater and go through a restaurant and Gelato store to get to our room but it wasnt too bad. The rooms were very clean and didnt smell like mold like other places we been to, very clean. Just that transition was very surprising but to be right across the clevelander and ocean drive was worth the money. Breakfast was included and was good, so it was a good time. Music was loud all around, but the hotel has really good soundproofing in the rooms.

Great location. Nostalgic feeling . Friendly staff. Would have preferred to order off menu for breakfast rather than buffet. This would have improved the overall experience. Would have enjoyed the outside street patio rather then the back courtyard for morning breakfast.

Great location and staff, the reason we chose a 4 is there is no heat in the hotel, it was cool temperatures overnight and one of the two elevators was out of service the whole stay. This is the 2nd year in a row we stayed here for my husband’s birthday weekend.

The property is very old and there were no amenities in the room. No microwave, safe, iron, couch or comfortable chair. It’s basically a bed and a shower. there’s a club that played loud music in the court yard next to our room, until 2am which is a lot after a very long day of traveling. There were men lingering in the front of the hotel and in front of many of the hotel establishments proposing to sell us drugs when we arrived at 1am it was unnerving as we were two women traveling in an unfamiliar place. The parking is $50/night to park at the hotel however we found less expensive parking near the hotel. The room was extremely cold and we were unable to adjust the temperature. The hotel staff were pleasant and the location is favorable however, not worth the price!
