Collins Hotel

I was a bit worried about booking the room after reading that someone found it to be dirty, but it was spotless. The bedlinen was pure white, as were the towels in the bathroom. The bed was HUGE and comfortable. The location is perfect for a visit to the beach - it's about 5 minutes away. Although the hotel doesn't have a restaurant, there are LOTS of places just a few minutes away. Every morning I went to the Broken Eggs Cafe, just around the corner on 67th street (be warned -- they auto add a gratuity of 18% to your bill, so there's no need to add your own gratuity, even though you're presented with a screen to add one). There's a Pizza Hut in the same building, and next door to the car park there's a Domino's and a Subway. Within a few minutes' walk there are several more restaurants, and within 15 minutes, there are even more. I tried Sazón at the corner of 73rd and really enjoyed that. Manolo's on the opposite corner was always full. There's also a laundromat on 73rd. The beach was spotless and not very busy.

I had to turn the A/C off at night as it was a bit noisy.

Location was great near to shops, restaurants and the beach. They gave us a wheelchair friendly room which was ideal for our needs and they had parking on the propert.

We only found out about the free bus up and down the beach front on our last day. Perhaps the receptionist could have told us about this on arrival. We were also looking for a proper map of Miami but nothing was available so we got lost quite a lot and none of the reception staff knew much about giving directions. A good street map availble at reception would be a huge help for tourists.

Hotel close to the beach, restaurants, the publix. A great place to come back. Ease of public transportation

They should be more selective with taxi drivers who call at the request of the guest. The Ecuadorian gentleman who transferred us to the airport on February 11 charged us more than the agreed rate, even more than what the taximeter indicated. he did not want the credit card payment and gave us bills in poor condition. With the rush of the trip we did not have a problem.

clean, friendly staff.

The hotel doesn’t try to look fancy, but it modern and clean. The staff is helpful. There’s pool, and although no direct beach access, the beach is just cross the street.

Good location. Spacious rooms. Good value for the money.

DIRTY SHEETS. Housekeeping didn’t change bed sheets. it had stains and body hair from previous guest all over. I had to call front desk, request new sheets and change it my self.

Close to the beach Close to restaurants/stores (Walgreens, Publix) /bus stops Nice pool Friendly employees Clean room Inexpensive

Bad smell inside the room Loud old AC Ants in the bathroom

great location, great value, the on site parking for a reasonable rate was outstanding

Close to everything I wanted to visit

The receptionist I met at my arrival and departure. She almost ruined my mood with her silly judgy attitudes. She tried to change my room from what I originally booked for to a dead room. When I complained, she wanted to make me pay extra to switch back to my original room. I insisted and got my original room back. Overall, the hotel is okay for the purpose.

I liked how close the hotel was to the beach! I also liked that the security operated 24/7. Plenty of towels

I did not like one of the staff members. I’m not sure if it was the language barrier, but he was quite rude. I also didn’t care for the shower.
