Cavalier South Beach Hotel

The art deco feel of the hotel was great. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was included with our stay and the breakfast was good. Can't beat the location for a stay where you're close to EVERYTHING South Beach. Would absolutely stay here again. The value is very hard to beat. Also to note, there is a public parking garage RIGHT around the corner on 13th and the price is very reasonable for the area (we paid $20/day). It's literally at few hundred feet to walk from the garage to the hotel. If you are familiar with the scarcity of good/cheap long term parking in South Beach, then you know how much of a plus this is!

The location was excellent, just a short walk from the beach, where we had free access to one sun lounger per person at Esteban's Place. The room and hotel in general were clean, tidy and decorated to a high standard. Everyone who worked at reception was very friendly and ready to suggest activities and places to see. Guests get 10% off the restaurant and bar, just make sure to double check your bill.

The hotel is not accessible for wheelchair users. Aside from one lady, the restaurant staff were aloof and uninterested. The quality of the breakfast was hit or miss, we mostly had the pancakes and regretted ordering the scrambled eggs one morning. The sun loungers do not include the use of an umbrella, so we bought one for 30 dollars rather than rent one for 20 dollars a day.

very nice designed rooms, perfect location.

The rooms are extremely noisy. Very poor building standard. The doors have zero sound absorption; you hear every word spoken in the aisle; and when you are close to the elevator, it goes basically through your bed acoustically.

Location is perfect. Ocean is right across the road. It will take you 2 mins to get to the beach. Ocean drive was closed so there was no cars around and you could walk around and enjoy your time. My booking included breakfast. It was from 9am till 11am in the cafe Havana 1957 right next door. You could choose from eggs/pancakes/yogurt with fruit + bacon/sausage + tea/coffee. The hotel provides you with beach towel and chair but no umbrella (didn’t need it). A room has everything you might need: safe, mini fridge, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and lotion. Everything looks pretty new and modern. The design of the hotel is unique, I loved it.

The only thing was the shower. The water pressure was pretty weak so it was kinda hard to wash hair. But at the same time it’s understandable. It is like this in most big cities.

The hotel is situated exactly on the Ocena drive which is very comfy and close to the beach, bars and restaurants. The room was cleaned every day. The staff was helpful, we was getting beach towels every day.

The worst thing in this hotel is breakfast. The menu is the same every day. You get just scrambled eggs with no vegetables, no nothing. Very poor breakfast. I will suggest to choose the option with no breakfast and take a breakfast somewhere else. When we arrived to the hotel, we ve been informed, that we have 10% discount for the hotel restaurant. Staying almost a week in the hotel and eating in the restaurant, we got just once the discount, , because we asked for it. So you have to ask every time you go to the restaurant about the discount, which feels quite annoying.

super close to the beach and near EVERYTHING on the strip, breakfast was delicious and INCLUDED

the AC didn’t seem to work, there were times where I’m literally sweating throughout the night or waking up with nose bleeds from overheating

Great location, super helpful staff, and very atmospheric if you are looking for the art deco experience. The facilities have been upgraded but still retain the art deco style. The breakfast options included in the resort fee were sufficient for a short stay, and the food was very good.

This wasn't a problem for me, but the stairs could be challenging for some - the lighting was low. The elevator worked well, but it was a bit cumbersome to use. On the upside, the elevator is historic and was included on the art deco walking tour I took.

The location was perfect. Walking distance from many restaurants and not to mention across from the beach. The staff were wonderful and the decor/rooms were modest and clean. If I ever return to South Beach I will definitely be staying here.

There were some maintenance issues with the sink and the door. It appears a previous guest may have put tapioca balls down the sink which clogged it. Also during our stay the door became damaged by someone who may have attempted to get into our room. Nothing was missing and we reported it to staff.

History of Hotel should be promoted in either a brochure or in the front lobby…. Absolutely beautiful hotel!!! Loved the art deco restoration in the front lobby. Rooms were exceptionally clean and well designed …staff was courteous and polite the only mishap we had with our flatscreen TV remote was not working in our room ….a young man working at the front desk came up to our room and took the remote promising to return with a new one and never did. Other than that our stay was fantastic!!! Beautiful hotel great value across the street from the ocean!!!! Complementary breakfast was also a great perk!!!

The hotel is close to the beach and located in the center of Miami Beach's nightlife area. Good breakfast options, especially compared to the options other hotels of the same price tier provide. Beach towels and chairs (but not umbrellas) are included in the resort fee

The temperature in the corridor (2nd floor) was super chilly compared to the one at the reception/room. The room itself was very small, and I think that's the reason why they made the bathroom door what it is
