I loved that we were close to the beach and to the ocean drive! We get an amazing room ! We had free coffee in the room at the espresso machine, but also free breakfast at the restaurant “bacon bitch”( coffee and a croissant with butter and fruit jam. We loved our stay at Essex house ! Thank you!

No restock the room coffee and the water. We asked for room service and the service wasn’t available after waiting for a response 1 hour . they were cleaning the room, changing the bed, but they didn’t clean the floor, not even once

Art Deco vibe, room was completely refurbished. we liked the privacy of the suite areas. simple furnishings but clean and spacious.

We were there unexpectedly during Spring break for a 50th birthday weekend. This hotel is located in the central area of South Beach, which during other times of the year we are sure makes it a good thing. However, if you read the news you know that Miami is troubled that time of year. We were right in the middle of the scary bedlam shootings and chaos. once in the hotel we felt very safe in our suite area, but getting on there at night was terrifying.

The staff was excellent- Everyone at the front desk including Beau, Deshawnte, Jamel- were ALL AWESOME!!! They were courteous, welcoming, informative and always available for questions. Dan was helpful as well whenever we had a request.

The deposit- $100.00 per night (ex. 5 nights=$500 deposit) seems to be extreme to me, especially since the resort fee includes beach chairs that are 4 blocks away, bike usage with no locks so using them is at your own risk and the free croissant for breakfast at Bacon Bitch cant be toasted. I did not like that I could not get a formal invoice from the hotel showing my charges because I booked through this site- booking.com.

Everything is within walking distance. It's in the heart of The Art Deco District, a block over from the beach, a CVS, restaurants and blocks away (walking or quick Uber) to other areas of South Beach. I prefer quieter spaces and you can still find some within the hustle and bustle of S. Beach. I enjoyed reading on the rooftop, watching the world go by.

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

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

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

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 !

Our view of Collins Ave from our King room was absolutely stunning! It was quite big at 300sqft. The location could not be beat either. I highly recommend this hotel for younger crowds, NOT families.

As other reviews have stated, the hot water at times was not ideal. Again, this wasn't a deal breaker but an active issue.

clean. they held our luggage until checkin time. and held it after checkout time. that was appreciated location was perfect

I was charged Resort Fees. but because it was Fri Sat and Sun my 18 year old grandson was not able to use the pool. we couldn’t go to the sports bar. we were unable to use any of the amenities we paid for. very misleading and unfortunate

The hotel was beautiful, staff was very accommodating and it smelled amazing. The size of the room we had was perfect and we were walking distance under 10 mins everywhere we needed to go.

I wish they had a private pool on the property itself.

The breakfast at bacon bitch was lit as always!!! I loved the complimentary croissant and coffee

The elevator was out of service the day we arrived and we had to take our own bags up
