We booked Deluxe Double Room with two Double Beds for 3 adults Excellent locatio, (Ocean ride, South beach), a free sun chairs and bicycles, nice and helpfull staff. Excellent restaurant inside the hotel: Osteria del Mar/Miami Beach . Highly recommanded.

Old fashioned hotel, rooms need urgent renovation.

Excellent location and helpful staff. Breakfast was great and they offer bikes to use.

Washroom door is glass. Dont share a room with kids.

Location and staff friendliness are excellent.

The complimentary breakfast is of poor standard and I think takes a bit away from the positiveness of the hotel.

The location at the center of Ocean Drive is incomparable. Our room was oceanfront on the fourth floor. Stunning views of the sunrise. The beach is a few steps away. Within walking distance, there were many restaurants and a couple of clubs with beautiful shows, music, and food. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We love to go there again.

Ocean Drive is always noisy, with music in the late night hours and cleaning the street in the early morning. But I wouldn't trade the oceanfront room for a backyard quiet room. You can't have both worlds at the same time.

Friendly, smiling staff, especially Francesco, who was always accommodating and helpful. Nothing was ever a problem when we asked for something. Free beach towels and water bottles. Free bikes. Complimentary late checkout at 12 pm. Nice breakfast choice - pancakes, sausages, scrambled and boiled eggs, cornflakes, ham, cheese, apples, bananas, orange juice, and coffee. Pleasant music at the reception and the restaurant. Excellent location on Ocean Drive. Our room nr 509 was located on the 5th floor at the side of the building. It was quiet at nighttime. However, the windows are old and make a bit of noise on a windy night.

There were no small bikes at the hotel for our 7yo, so we couldn't enjoy them together as a family. They didn't have any small sizes to hire at the Lummus Park either. Small bathroom, not enough shelves to put our toiletries on. Thankfully, we had a hang on the door fabric organiser with us. The lift makes funny noises, but at least there is one if you need it. The restaurant is not the cheapest despite the 10% off for the guests. You only get your discount if you pay by cash or order some food. Full price for drinks if paid by card. There was no option to pay for a later checkout than 12pm. My husband would have liked a removable shower handle, but there wasn't one. It was difficult to wash out the sand.

Excellent service. Top-notch location, right on Ocean Drive, in the middle of all the activity, and a stone’s throw from the beach. Great places to eat all around, lovely vibe. South beach parking garage $20/day is less than a block away. It’s great if you happen to have a car. No in/out privileges: be warned (so you’ll pay $20 for each day or each part of a day that you enter and exit the garage). The staff at the Beacon South Beach are the absolute best! Nothing beats their excellent hospitality.

The room was kinda small for a family of 4, but it was manageable. The bathroom is a matchbox lol, but since it was just us, it didn’t feel too bad.

This is a cute older art deco hotel in a fantastic location on South beach. The breakfast is good with everything that a tourist usually expects. Bicycle rental is a big plus, as is the rental of towels and sunbeds for the beach. There is no swimming pool, but from what you can see on the mid and north beach (big new hotels with pools but in boring neighborhood) and considering the proximity of the beach across the street, you really don't need a swimming pool. The staff is trying their best with the otherwise slightly dilapidated hotel. We will definitely be back.

location was excellent, didn't need a car. everything in walking distance/staff was excellent especially Veronica and Francisco went over and beyond expectations. They were good about cleaning our room each day

I didn't like the smell of the hallway and the closet in our room, smelled old and musty. We didn't unpack nor put anything in the closet. Also was disappointed booking.com told us we would have a view that didn't happen then was supposed to have a garden view which consisted of plants on the outside of the window that were dried and dead. I wasn't disappointed at the hotel but booking.com. I feel they need to visit these properties and see for themselves what they offer and look like before selling them. It's very frustrating to pay a lump sum of money to not get what you're thinking you are going to get.

Location was great. Historic art nouveau hotel right across from the beach on Ocean Ave. Free bicycles for 1 hour use. Staff was cheerful and attentive. We had an issue with the ceiling fan not functioning and someone came up in minutes.

Free Starbucks coffee 24/7; just plain black and hot water for tea. Only Lipton tea offered. Bathroom was small and functional, however, no soap provided at the sink. Had to reach over the toilet into the shower to use the body wash on the wall. A/C provided through wall unit was a bit noisy, but I like silence for sleeping. Breakfast was mediocre; toaster was not functioning, so no toast; scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, pancakes, cereal, apples, juice, coffee and water.

The Beacon Hotel exceeded my expectations in every way! We booked three nights before we embarked on a cruise to the Bahamas and the service, location, incredible attention from the friendly staff and amenities could not have been better. Upon our arrival we were greeted warmly and given champagne and fresh fruit. Our room was ready and was on the 2nd floor of the hotel which was quiet and clean for our entire stay. Two large beds with a decent size bathroom - Tommy Bahama toiletries were a nice touch. The room also came with robes and slippers as well as a Nespresso machine and fridge. On the 2nd floor mezzanine was a lounge with a seating area and free Starbucks coffee. Security in the hotel was amazing and there were staff members available 24/7 if you needed anything. Free Breakfast came with the room and was plentiful - lots of fresh bread, fruit, yogurt, eggs, pancakes and sausage and you could get a beautiful table overlooking Ocean Drive to eat. At night the attached restaurant was lively and a destination on Ocean Drive. Free beach towels and bicycle rentals were available until 8PM! All of these touches made our first stay in Miami Beach the best and we can't wait to go back. We chose to stay at another hotel for our extra night in Miami after the cruise and regretted not going back to the Beacon!

Nothing. I loved the Beacon.
