    The room didn’t had hot water, we live on the water running for 10min and the water just get room temperature, reception sent a plumber to see what happened, he open the robinete and the shower ones to allow the water to run faster m, he stays for another 15 min aprox in our room by the time we was ready to go for dinner, the hot water finally came but in the morning same story, no hot water and we had to check out, no time to wait. Another think the walls are from paper, you can hear all the talk from the other rooms, and we where unlucky that our neighbors were very loud, so we could not sleep before 2am until they sleep.

    We liked the location only

    Outdated. No dresser in room. No table in room. No hot water. Employee entered room during the night unannounced and uninvited…when we got to the door he ran away. When we talked to the front desk we were told it was hotel protocol….. completely unacceptable . If indeed it was hotel protocol the employee should not have run away he should have explained himself.

    Not much

    I DO NOT LIKE THAT THE FRONT ENTRANCE AREA HAS BEEN REDUCED TO ACCOMODATE THE ADJOINING RESTAURANT-Bacon Bish. I also wish that you did not have to walk so far to use the resort fee amenities like bike rentals.

    Bosay(sp?) Is ALWAYS PLEASANT, PROFESSIONAL AND ACCOMMODATING when we stay at Essex. We have been staying here for years and will always choose this hotel when traveling to South beach. I love the smell of the lobby (they should put that scent in the rooms) . I love that the suite rooms have jacuzzi tubs for relaxation.

    Because the hotel is so old so are the pipes my toilet kept getting stopped up, my tube and sink were stopped up as well

    It’s a very old hotel historic, it was very clean the staff was super friendly and kind. I was super close to all my activities and I had access to the Clevelander I would definitely stay here again

    THE ADVERTISEMENT ON BOOKING.COM WAS REALLY MISGUIDING. IT SHOWS AND MENTIONS THE HOTEL HAS A POOL. THIS IS NOT FULLY THE CASE. THE SISTER HOTEL HAS THE POOL, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE 21 YEARS OLD TO ATTEND. THIS IS NOT MENTIONED OR CLEAR. SO, IN MY CASE, TRAVELING WITH MY DAUGHTER, WE HAD TO FIND OUT AFTER BOOKING WHEN ASKING AT THE HOTEL. THIS IS REALLY BAD MARKETING AND ADVERTISEMENT OF THE HOTEL AND, AS A GUEST, REALLY DISAPPOINTING.

    STAFF WAS FRIENDLY AND SUPPORTIVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME TO LEAVING THE HOTEL BEFORE TIME. STAFF WAS ONLY SUPPORTIVE AND HELPFUL.

    The parking prices are ridiculous, I think the guest of the hotel should at least get a deal or more so free parking besides the public . Or there needs to be only a designated parking for the quests !

    The location was perfect, walking distance to a lot of things we wanted to do ! Would definitely be staying here again my next visit !!

    They lied about the size of the beds. we reserved two queens and got only full size beds. The tub was clogged and maintenance never came to fix it. We were charged $100/night for incidentals. This property was too expensive to have these issues.

    The location was great. easy access to the beach and bars on the strip.
