The location was everything. The staff was everything. I definitely would stay here again. It served its purpose for sure. The only thing I didn't like is we were unable to open the windows so it was very muggy in the room even with the air conditioner on. There's no microwave and no complimentary coffee or tea. I can't express how wonderful the location is.

No coffee or tea rooms. Very muggy unable to open the one window fan in the bathroom did not work.

The front desk staff were fantastic and very helpful, particularly Josh. The location is great. The room was quiet and clean, and a good size. The bed was confortable. The bathroom was clean. The airconditioning unit was great. There was adequate storage space.

The hot water didn't work a couple of times, it seemed to be in peak time in the morning, otherwise excellent and hot. A few of the fittings are old and a bit loose. The view is of a brick wall and the windows were quite dirty on the outside, so had to keep the blinds closed most of the time. The cleaning staff don't replace towels unless you leave a cash tip, which is annoying if you're arriving home late at night after a long day.

floor room location like that very much and the staff was very nice help you, and it was only one block over from the beach. has many different restaurants near by to choose from and lots of shopping in the location.

the weather could have been better but they not control over that

The Kent is reminiscent of classic 40s/50s Miami. The lobby and decor are a perfect fit for the area, but the kids thought the elevator was the best part. The rooms were the right size for the three of us (my kids are bigger than I am!) with ample room for our luggage and belongings. The Kent offers queen size beds- unbelievably hard to find last minute in the area- with soft sheets and comfy pillows. There was a big shower with perfect water pressure, which is so important when coming back from swimming! Josh, the night clerk, was quick and respectful upon check-in. He offered plenty of recommendations, like the restaurant next door. (We chose lunch for breakfast because the menu was amazing). Josh even called me by name each time we left and returned to the hotel. Wes, now, Wes was the best, helpful and interesting. He told me where to go for swim trunks and souvenirs, so I didn't have to leave the area. Wes was quick to help when we needed it, and he was an interesting guy to chat with. The valet service was beyond convenient because parking in the area was frustrating. The fee was reasonable and service was fast.

There was nothing to dislike about our stay.

My friends and I visit Miami every January to escape the cold in Virginia. This is our 4th year in a row staying at the Kent Hotel and we plan to continue using it as our landing pad for the foreseeable future. The price can't be beat and location is perfect - the beach, amazing restaurants, cute cafes, groceries & sundries are all a short walk away. The facilities are clean and well maintained and the staff is excellent and incredibly kind. Big shout outs to Wes, Josh & Alec who all took excellent care of us during our stay. They cultivate a relaxed, friendly experience while remaining extremely professional. They all deserve a raise!

My only complaint is that I wish there was warmer lighting and/or some dimmable lamps in the rooms (I'm very sensitive to overhead lighting). They could also benefit from more storage or some type of dresser with drawers. But these issues are quickly overshadowed by the myriad of other benefits the Kent provides.

The Kent hotel is just a stones-throw away from Ocean Drive and was very easy to reach and access. There was a parking space right outside the entrance where you could load and unload (for 15 minutes). Just a couple of blocks away was a parking garage that charged 20 Dollars for a 24-hour parking (it's also fully possible and legal to park in the street, in assigned parking spaces). A quick two-minute walk back to the hotel. The staff were kind and very engaged in our well-being. Room was on the smaller side but accomodated our needs (family of four sleeping in two queen-sized beds that were very much to our liking, wide and not too soft, we slept well). As in many hotels along the way, though, the AC-unit was surprisingly noisy - but within tolerable parameters. Heard some of the general commotion from Ocean Drive, and from the restaurant connected to the hotel, but weren't really disturbed by it. All in all a fully satisfying stay!

For the price this was an excellent room. It was clean and well lit. The hotel itself is in the beautiful art deco style common to South Beach. It was a block from the beach and within walking distance to many restaurants. Room had a large closet with mini fridge and safe. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Josh at check-in time. A minor maintenance issue was addressed quickly. Good restaurant right off the lobby with a very good value breakfast special and excellent coffee. I would absolutely stay here again.

Our first floor room faced a narrow alley, but I really wasn't expecting any view, especially given the price in this neighborhood. We stayed 3 adults in a two queen bed room for one night and there was very little room for 3 adults and 3 suitcases. I can't imagine staying with 4 adults. The lobby area can get loud and the terrazzo floors means sound echoes at least all over the first floor, but after 9 pm it stayed quiet. This is one of those places that charges a "resort fee" ($20 if I recall) even though all we got for that was 2 waters.

Location so close to beach Free towels Best air conditioning of all three hotels we stayed in Massive tv Walking distance to shopping malls and multiple restaurants

Noisey guests on stairs untill 4am But we got moved to a different room away from stairwell next morning and all was good Bad mannered inconsiderate guests not hotels fault Adjoining restaurant had a deal for breakfast with tea or coffee Had no English breakfast tea available so I asked could I have an orange juice instead No problem!! Bill came for 12 dollars plus tax plus service for a glass of juice Not advertised as part of breakfast deal But certainly not made clear by waitress Very unhappy with this

We had an amazing experience at the Kent Hotel. Nothing really negative to speak of. The rooms were clean, the staff were extremely helpful. S/o to Josh and Wes from the front desk who are exceedingly good at their job, and are super pleasant to interact with. We paid around 100$ per night for 3 people, and at that price, The Kent Hotel may be unmatched

There was only one kind of showerhead in our room, a waterfall, which can be tricky for certain hairstyles to maneuver 2. No coffee maker in room 3. No access to a microwave

location , comfortable beds, friendly staff.

we were there for 4 nights and our bins were not collected we had to empty them ourselves and leave outside door. also toilet paper was not replaced during our stay until we asked on the 3rd night. with 4 people to a room this should have been noted and done without asking. no hard feelings just something to note to improve ☺️
